Is a 34 first time ACT good enough?

A 34 is already 75th percentile for matriculated Cornell students.

And no, a higher ACT score will NOT make up for your lack of ECs. A former Cornell adcom, Nelson Urena, did a very helpful Q&A on Reddit (you can google it).

If you are a junior, then you have pretty much a full year left before college apps are due. Plan on getting some more ECs in in areas that interest you.
