<p>Cornell- very large reach
PSU- probably IN
Bucknell- match.</p>

<p>I agree with Jman. You have fairly strong academics and EC’s, but that SAT score is way low for Cornell. You’re in at Penn State and Bucknell, though.</p>

4

<p>PSU might be a problem b/c its out of state which means it will cost more and you wont get a ton of financial aid. I’d lean towards Bucknell out of the two.</p>

5

<p>Oh i forgot i have alumni from Penn St.</p>

6

<p>I agree, I think Cornell is sort of a big reach (sorry), but you should get into Penn State and Bucknell. If you raise your SAT scores Cornell might be less of a reach</p>

7

<p>That was a bit expected i must say</p>

8

<p>can you count the IB Diploma as an extracurricular? That’s sorta stretching it, considering it is a certification that you adequately performed in the curriculum through performances on the tests.</p>

<p>Oh my ACT is superscored by the way. Otherwise the highest is 29</p>
