lol I like how Cornell is your "semi back up."

Anyways, your resume looks pretty good and I'd say you have a pretty good chance of getting in. For me, having a high GPA and good SAT scores is good, but really isn't what makes you stand out. Remember that most of the people who apply have good scores and do well in school. It's the extracurricular, volunteer, and essay that's sorta make or break.

I see that you play violin... even if you're not planning to major in music, if you can make a good tape and send it in, DO IT.
