Thanks for all of the candid input everyone! This will definitely help in making a decision and having more realistic expectations.
I should also add that my ACT is on the lower end because of math & reading unfortunately. My subscores are: math (29), English (29), Reading (35), and Science (34)–I’ll be retaking this. I also do have a few less structured ECs I’ve added to my app such as classical mandolin, D&D dungeon master, and personal strength/cardio training.
What do you guys think about Princeton or Cornell as an option?
