<p><a href=“http://www.dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000435.pdf[/url]”>http://www.dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000435.pdf&lt;/a&gt; says that essay is very important and interview is considered (section C7). You can see how your stats compare to those of the Fall 2009 entering class in sections C9 and C10 (Cornell doesn’t supply data for C11 and C12).</p>

<p>Sections C9 & C10 may be somewhat misleading as they apply to a university aggregate, whereas applicants apply only to a particular college of the university, not an aggregate, and each college has its own applicant pool and criteria. Stats by college are available in the institutional research webpages.</p>

<p>ECs are really weak. That will hurt. But your scores are good, so you probably have a fair shot.</p>

<p>I think you’re a low match/match ED. Match/low reach RD</p>
