<p>You WILL find out tomorrow, you know.</p>

<p>But-- why not.</p>

<p>Chances.</p>

<p>What college have you applied to at Cornell.</p>

<p>Your SAT-CR is a rather low for Arts, but with the SAT-M 800, might be ok for Engineering.</p>

<p>Your GPA is at the low range of acceptances (but still in the range).</p>

<p>Cornell does not consider you a legacy unless you had a parent, grandparent (or, I think great grandparent). Uncle does not meet the definition (though it won’t hurt).</p>

<p>Since nearly all applicants say they have great essays, recs and ECs, I can’t comment. If yours are, you may have a shot. If not, I’m not sure that anything other than the 800 M really stands out.</p>
