<p>@newyork21 and sdkks: No way to tell an applicant’s chances. College admissions is a crapshoot. Someone who gets into Harvard may be rejected at Dickinson College, for example. No clear reason why, and that’s my point.</p>
<p>Your GPA and test scores are great. AP Comp Sci is quite low, though. Colleges want students who will ultimately become leaders in whatever they are really good at because this brings reputation to the school. Find what you love to do and what you are really good at and do ALL of your activities based on that “specialty.” For example, if you like writing, become president of the Writing Club or chief editor of school newspaper, start a small club or organization that helps others improve writing skills, publish news articles in a magazine or newspaper, etc. Writing, writing, writing. Then, it’s up to Cornell to decide if you’re a great writer and good fit for the school. There’s no such thing as “chancing an applicant,” since college admissions is a crapshoot. Right now, you’re just doing a bunch of different stuff with NO focus at all, and NONE of those activities are helping you in this process. Specialize in something now before it’s too late. Hope this helps!</p>
