<p>It’s like you are reading my mind 
</p>
<p>I think chance thread are pointless…especially when it’s high school students who are doing the “chancing.”</p>
<p>As an alum…I have an idea of what kind of student each college at Cornell is looking for. However…I do not feel comfortable telling a poster his/her chances of admission because there is no magic formula and admission is certainly not guaranteed. I know of students who were perfect in every way and still rejected from Cornell. Conversely…I also know of students that would be considered mediocre and were granted admission to Cornell.</p>
