i know cornell cals is literally my reach, but the clinic experience is legit and it's my top choice so ED makes sense, right. my list is kinda reach heavy though and i'm worried. like, is the 1510 enough or am i getting dinged for test scores at cornell, and should i add a match or two. honest takes only, is that enough to get in or am i cooked 😭

cornell cals is gonna love the clinic hours and you're in-state which helps, but tbh your reach list needs backup, add like one solid match (maybe ohio state or penn state for bio/pre-vet, they're actually good for this and way more predictable). 1510 is fine for cals, it's not test-score obsessed like some schools, but everyone applying has your stats so the clinic work is genuinely what sets you apart here.
