Not Ivy but Cornell you might be able to pull off. I know someone who had a 3.8 UW and a 1450 who got in…

Not sure what the above poster is saying but IMO, your stats are fantastic! You’re definitely a competitive applicant. Make sure you focus on a passion of yours, dig deep into it, build your whole application around it, and write essays that showcase your interests. Good luck

@Cwizkid you have a competitive profile but given how insanely competitive it is for ti-state and especially NYC kids to get into these schools, you never know.
If you have a first choice amongst the three, I would suggest applying there ED to increase your chances a bit.

Thanks for all the advice! @doorrealthe @Penn95

Solid Stats and ECs. Cornell seems like a low reach and other two ivies seem like a reach for virtually every applicant. Chance me back? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/20608597#Comment_20608597
