Based on everything I see here, I unfortunately think your chances are poor, simply because your academic record is below most applicants. And I think that's sad for Cornell, because they could probably use some more folks like you. Their loss, your gain. Don't sweat it. You wouldn't have liked it there much anyways.

28?....you should take it again and get it at least into the 30's. And maybe try and found a club or something... no offense but I would have to say that youre chances are probably <50%...
