<p>I am not the poster here on CC who is going to blow smoke up your boohiney. I get it, you are AA and first generation. You think that Cornell is gonna come knocking at your door because…uh what??? It is not the 3.0 and the SAT that you have not disclosed. I am sorry if this is harsh, but you do a disservice to URM applicants, thinking you should get in with less than stellar numbers and the rest. Their are MANY AA applicants that are on par for Cornell and other schools that exhibit grace and.class, unlike your self proclaimed entiltlement. I say this in a serious way…please be realistic in your apptitude and turn back the attitude.</p>
<p>Btw, my D is AA and went to an elite UG… she earned her way into it with a 3.96 UW and a 33 ACT. </p>
