Where are you from?

UVA and UMich is difficult to get in for OOS.

UVA probably not difficult to get in for me because I live in the state of Virginia if I have a good grades, EC's, and Essays.

I think you're fine for cornell ED.
My sister got in ED, and she was no genius. I mean, she was smart, but it seems like your EC's definately beat hers, and your SAT and GPA is higher, and you're taking more APs (even though at our school taking four in one year was pretty impossible).
So yeah, I think you got a for real shot.
Don't fall into the average asian category though.

Cornell ED has an acceptance chance of about 36 percent. Don't lose hope.

Cornell is the easiest Ivy league to get into (or so I heard). I agree - 'don't lose hope.'
