chance me: cornell university

Your application looks great, regardless of what other people post showing they’ve cured cancer or been to the moon etc…

Your positives:

  • SAT is very high. I bet you would do good on the ACT maybe get a 36
  • The fact that you took initiative on AP’s show you are dedicated so it doesn’t even matter that you only took one and others will apply with 12+, you did what you could, and more!
  • non profit has great numbers, thank you for your service!
  • legacy
  • Recs
  • Cornell takes a lot of students so numerically you will do great

Negatives:

  • GPA is average for Cornell, meaning that it’s not high enough that you are a safe bet for Cornell. However, your GPA is high enough to make you competitive
  • Your EC’s are strong but you could use more. If you explain them well that should be perfect
  • This isn’t meant to be mean, but being Indian is actually a setback. I’m Asian too and school’s prefer URMs (asians are not URMs sadly)

You’re in great shape, keep up the good work & best of luck!
