for cornell-- just knowing the stats and myself I would say you have a good shot-. I like your portfolio definitely one of the stronger ones- a little bit more diversity in subject matter might be nice- but overall very good. Your grades are good-- SAT (a little low)-but actually because your portfolio is so good they will just sweep over that. you ECs really won't play a role

The acceptance rate is low 1/17, but I would say you have about a 50% shot-- I am not exactly sure what they looking for-- but I think you will be one of the stronger applicants--

I know there aren't a lot of portfolios to look at online so I might post mine to give you an Idea--
maybe sashimi will post his too?

I was/am quite similar to you-- with a few less ECs and I got in(chose cooper union though). you should be fine-. BTW try and do some abstract stuff/ cubist/ other styles- something to show you can think in different ways- maybe even a sculpture- you seem like you have talent so pulling something off like that shouldn't be a problem.
