Chances of me getting in?

Well my GPA was 4.0 UW, but that was only because my school only offered like 8 APs and was is not that great. I self studied a lot and took about 11APs in total including Senior year. However, like I said I have heard cases of people getting in with lower GPAs, because the admissions office looks at your school’s profile.

Your school website probably has it so it is easily accessible to colleges. On there it states the colleges kids have gone to in the past year, what APs they offer, what grades they have gotten on the APs and etc. You said that previous students have gone to Cornell and other good schools, so that’s good because they get a sense of what type of students go to your school. Don’t be that concerned.

From what I see your yearly averages have a trend of going up which many colleges like to see. Also, though Junior year will be hard, it is still a great chance for you to raise those grades. You have plenty of time to move those grades into Ivy material. If you really need it after Junior year, you can apply RD and add in those first second quarter senior grades.
