<p>Cornell is need-blind, so I would encourage you to try for a scholarship.
As for your chances, I think your grades are EXCELLENT for Cornell. Your SAT I scores, however, leave a little to be desired. They’re decent, but certainly nothing spectacular for Cornell. Challenging courseload, lots of AP’s. Decent chances, and as soon as you get your 2200+ I think you’ve got a great shot.</p>

<p>You look typical. Which means you have a decent shot.</p>

<p>I’d try the ACT. Sometimes that works better for people. I know it did for me. I got like a 2010 SAT (superscored), never above 700, but when I took that ACT I did about the same as I did on the English/Reading, but really did excellent on Math and Science and came out with a 32. That was good enough for me, haha. Never prepped or anything, but I did for SAT. Go figure…</p>
