<p>I am a certified Abenaki Native American (I am also causcasion). I am a rising junior and I had a rough start to high school- I was diagnosed with ADD (though I will not emphasize that on my apps). I will be able to raise my GPA to a 3.6UW cumulative GPA (freshman year, sophomore year, and junior year combined) before applying to colleges. I have 1000+ combined hours of community service from volunteering at a soup kitchen and a nursing home. For over a year I have worked 20 hours a week at a grocery store and I also petsit (saving for college). I have a successful website (an online interactive community for bullied teens: I was bullied though I am not going to emphasize this in my application).
AP classes start junior year at my school- I have taken honors classes. I will take AP English next year and I'm going to take the AP U.S. History exam, though I'm taking Honors U.S. History. Senior year I will take AP Gov, AP Stats, AP Spanish, AP Bio, and AP Lit, as well as AP Art.
On the June SAT, I received around a 2200 but I have confidence that I will be able to raise my scores with enough practice. I will likely do well on the US History subject test and I received a 760 on the Math I.
My parents and siblings have attended state schools, though my uncle attended Cornell as an English major. My grandmother always talked with me and she was certain I would one day study at Cornell too. I would like to apply as a psychology major. What would my chances be? I understand they may not be great considering my GPA stinks on ice.</p>
<p>You’re native american (I don’t think Uncle counts as legacy at cornell) , but if you do it ED, it kind of makes up for the GPA. Your ECs are decent, and you’re SAT score is nearly there! Find a positive way to mention the ADD and bullying website, and I say apply Cornell ED because you seem like a great person.</p>
