<p>I think you have a terrific shot, particularly as a URM with leadership and sports. What is your intended major? This is an important consideration.</p>
<p>Your credentials look pretty darn good, but you never know what admissions thinks. As far as looking at what you've done overall, I'd say your chances look pretty good, given that you have good essays, recs, etc.</p>
<p>My advice: Don't obsess! Your chances are fine. But as I like to say, I cannot estimate your chances neither can anyone else on this message board. Just apply and you'll have a chance. You have to be in it to win it!</p>
<p>Looks good to me! When I visited Cornell, all the Ag school students I talked to stressed that 5 on biology. Everything else looks great as well. Good luck!</p>
