<p>I agree that you are a strong applicant. But I don’t understand the person who says that Cornell ED is a reach for everyone. Sorry, but no. The acceptance rate is nearly 30%, and aside from the recruited athletes, I believe, at least from my experience getting to know applicants, that people applying ED are the slightly less qualified but far more interested candidates. They are the ones that want Cornell, but do not necessarily believe that they will get in. Myself included. Which means that, in addition to a 250% higher acceptance rate, candidates are in the pool with a slightly easier population. As far as you g, the GPA is a bit low, but that 34 ACT is pretty much as good as it gets. I mean I am at a 33 ACT with a 3.96/4.44 GPA, and I like to think that I, in addition to you, are more at a high match for ED than at a reach. </p>
