<p>I would say low chance to just maybe, just. I don't really see any leadership positions in your EC's, and your scores ar positioned at the lower end of the acceptance ranges for cornell. My sat's are around yours but I also got a 33 on my ACT which I think would help me, on the otherhand, your SAT's and ACT are about equivalent, try and get one higher at least. GPA is also low I believe. From what I've heard here, like 3.75 to 3.8 is low end of the scale of what you should have for an ivy. Your course load may explain it though.</p>

<p>Also yes, what college applying too? Have you looked at admission requirements like Subject tests? You better sign up for some of those if you need them.</p>

<p>Heres a good site for some info, see where you stand.</p>
