Create three (or however many you want) hypothetical or example high school seniors (or early graduating juniors) you'd say have a good shot at getting into Cornell's School of Arts and Sciences.

SAT/ACT scores, GPA, extracurriculars, class rank, volunteer hours and experience, work or internship experience, family background, etc. Be specific for me, please? Thank you so, so much for your time.

There is no formula. To get a good chance though, you would want to be top 25%ile for as many categories as you possibly can. And, graduate from a school with a good history of sending kids to Cornell and have hooks. Having hooks is definitely the best, most surefire way to get in any college.
