  1. With all that you are doing, yes.  Make sure you have references from teachers and guidance counselor to back you up.


  2. If you have to ask here, you probably don't belong in Cornell. Ask your guidance counselor and get brochures from the school. Look on the internet. Do your own research.  Looks like you belong to too many clubs.

  3. Your class rank is excellent and your scores good for Cornell. You should have a good shot.

    Many people don't like Cornell for pre med because it's harder to get a high GPA there than at most good colleges. You've probably heard the saying: Cornell is the easiest ivy to get into and the hardest to get out of.
