<p>I will echo my chancing on your Harvard thread and say that your chance is excellent. If your recommendations and essays are strong, you are likely in at Cornell.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for your input, silverturtle. How much do you think ethnicity matters?</p>

<p>I’ll quote my guide:</p>

<p>Wall of text is an understatement when I attempt to read that topic.</p>

6

<p>Really? I apologize then. On my screen, it does not even fill up four lines. (You are the first person to make that comment about any part of the guide. What is your screen resolution?)</p>

7

<p>Dont’ worry…I had much worse stats than you and I managed to get in … you’ll probably even get into Harvard</p>

8

<p>whatever the guide might say, your ethnicity will only help you with your admission.
frankly, i think you’ll even get into harvard w/ your numbers& ethnicity.
cornell should be a definite.</p>

9

<p>hispanic is a huge boost. my guess is you will get into cornell</p>

10

<p>hispanic, black, and native american are all huge boosts.</p>
