@AznDude525 Obviously you know you have great stats so asking your chances is sort of a waste of time. If Cornell accepted applicants on stats alone you would be at the top of the list, so your chances are very good - but you already knew that. But you left a lot out, like your major, your gender, your nationality, your income, etc. The only thing no one can predict is how diverse the 2021 class will need to be so they could reject you depending on the major you chose or even your gender if they need to balance it out better. So the short answer is you’ll probably get accepted, but it’s an Ivy so anything can happen. Even people with perfect grades and SATs get rejected. I doubt you have much to worry about.
