<p>count yourself out of all the ivy. just being honest.</p>

<p>Don’t count yourself out of all ivies, especially Cornell. You don’t have a GREAT chance at those top schools but I think you’ll have options come acceptance season</p>

<p>Congratulations on your performance in hs and your acceptances. I think you will have many options come April, but I think you should consider taking the ACT again. The February date can be used for some of the colleges you listed. But don’t count yourself out of the ivies, like aayaa1 I think you have a good shot a Cornell–you ECs and GPA are pretty solid.</p>
