I think if she applies ED to Cornell CALS she stands an excellent chance (I have a child just graduated from CALS). Since CALS won’t consider her test scores, GPA, EC’s, essay and recommendations will matter much more - Cornell is truly a school about fit - she should show how her interests/experience make her a good fit for one of their food science programs and what she plans to do with that education in the future (maybe check out the course bulletin of classes offered and identify some that really resonate with her) . BTW Cornell has a community food systems minor which my daughter LOVED - it focused on food waste/insecurity and got her very involved with services in the community. Another school to consider UIUC - I think they might have a robust food science/AG program.
