Chances for Cornell AEM?

I went to Cornell undergrad (med student now), I think the GPA is fine since you are ranked high in your class. Main issues I’d say are lack of any leadership positions and (sort of related to that) not having any ECs that seem to stand out as your main thing (maybe music since you seem to have a lot of music stuff?). Even if you aren’t technically an officer in something, I’d try to emphasize leadership wherever you can…

Also as someone else said, I’d have a pretty specific idea of what you would want to do in the business world… everyone knows you will probably end up changing your mind down the road, but it shows maturity to have a thought-out plan at this stage.

Overall I think you’d have a fair shot at ED, more of a reach regular.

Glad you liked the school though, summer is a great time to visit! If you settle on Cornell as your #1 I’d encourage you to do ED, I did when I applied.
