<p>Pretty good chance at Cornell Regular decision. If you apply early decision, I honestly think you would get in. Which school in Cornell will you apply to? </p>

<p>P.S I love your Star Wars club. Not just because I’m a Star wars fan but this is LITERALLY the first time I have seen a card game club on someone’s application.</p>

<p>Solid chance. In the end, it all comes down to your essays to distinguish yourself from other applicants. They’re going to have thousands of apps with 34 ACT+, top 10% rank, lot of leadership, so who are they going to pick? Make that clear, and as cortana431 mentioned, picking a school is a pretty important factor too.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

4

<p>You have fantastic scores, my sister’s were somewhat lower overall and she got into engineering.</p>

<p>You’re athletics are also great and service is what they like to look at.</p>

5

<p>you are too good.</p>

<p>question: how do you get so high SAT/ACT scores with so many sports?</p>

<p>I also do varsity swimming, and I will be captain next year; however my SATs lick rock.</p>

6

<p>Literally the only thing missing from your app is “Pokemon Master”, besides that you legit have everything. I would expect an acceptance ED for sure with a solid chance RD.</p>

<p>Amazing academia! Dang, want to share some of your intelligence with me? I got a 3 on the APUSH and am waiting for my AP Chem and AP Psych test results, I think I got like a 2 and a 3 respectively. I sooo wish I studied for those exams :(</p>

<p>You will be a strong candidate either RD or ED.</p>

9

<p>Ditto. Solid shot ED, good shot RD.</p>
