What’s your cumulative unweighted GPA? Looking at everything holistically, I think you have a very, very good chance. You say my ec’s are impressive–yours are phenomenal. I don’t know how you balance all of that! It will be imperative for you to explain your situation regarding your brother your freshman year; maybe write your common app essay about it? It could be very powerful. It’s also really important for you to stress all of your EC’s–they’re amazing, so milk them all you can (without sounding self-richeous). Your SAT is above the mean for Cornell, which is definitely good. How many students are in your school/do you have a rank? With solid recommendations, essays, and a well-executed app, I would say that you’re in ED 75%, IMO. Best of luck!
