Cornell and Emory are stretches. Your GPA is low, but your SAT is probably good enough, and your volunteer work is really good, so you at least have a shot. U Mich (assuming you are thinking Ann Arbor) is a bit of a reach with your GPA, but I'd say you'll quite possibly get in with your other stats. U Georgia is pretty much a definite. Georgia Tech is a maybe, a little more likely than Michigan. Good luck Also--the above comment that said those universities wouldn't look past the top 20 or 30 is somewhat mistaken as far as I know. In a class of 1000, 20 or 30 would be the top 2 and 3%. Even Cornell and Emory reach to 10% and farther, so your 15% isn't too bad, especially not for the other schools. Plus, class rank doesn't matter too much these days. Actual GPA is more important.
