@astromae2001,

A few things here. I believe if you apply ED to Cornell, you are not allowed to apply RD. At the ED round, admission will decide if they will accept, deny or defer you. If you are defer, you will be with those applying in an RD round.

Cornell seems to look for fit than just GPA, ACT/SAT. That said, your ACT should be over 30.

My D applied for CAS (with a humanity major), she took Math 1 and Spanish for subject tests and got 750 on both. She had only 4 APs. She had decent ECs. Everything about her stats comparing to Cornell’s admission data is middle of the road.

We believe her essay was what got her in. It told Cornell why Cornell and why her, very well written and very uniquely hers.

Work on your ACT, get the scores up. Choose the topic you want to write about and work hard on it. Have some adults you trust, look it over/critique. It has to be your essay.
