You shouldn’t post your essay on the internet, but otherwise, here’s what I see for your app:
I’m assuming your course load is strong, but your freshman GPA will hurt you slightly. Your ACT score should be fine for Cornell- they do superscire, and a 34 is perfectly fine. Your subject tests also look fine. You’re definitely academically qualified.
As for ECs, they look good, but they’re very here and there, with a lot of variation. You seem a little thinly spread, although they are quality ECs.
Being international will hurt a little bit. I don’t know what Sri Lankan is considered (it could be an additive to Asian in college admission eyes, but again, I don’t know what it is considered).

Overall, I think you have a fair shot. I’d say hope for an acceptance, but know that it is quite possible that you will be rejected.

Good luck! I applied for Engineering, personally. Really excited for Decision day, even tho I don’t really think I’ll get in. I just want to know already.
