<p>I'm a junior currently going to a small public school in rural new york. I want to go to the art and science college and major in biochemistry.</p>
<p>Since I won't have to apply until next year my GPA could change as well as my SAT scores and by then I will have taken one ACT, and two, possibly three SAT IIs (math II, physics, and chemistry)</p>
<p>GPA: My school gives us our GPAs with 4.3 being straight A+s no AP courses, and 4.6 straight A+s all APs (which is impossible because there is no AP french or AP electives) therefore my weighted is a 4.19.</p>
<p>SAT: 1370/2060 (M-690(ugh), CR-680, W-690)(I'm going to study and retake in March)
SAT II's: I haven't taken any but I'm planning on taking math II, physics, and chemistry
ACT: I'm planning on taking it in September since I can't do the other two test dates. I did really well on the PLAN test (practice ACT) in 10th grade (99% overall), so I think my ACT will be much stronger than my SAT
AP's: Chemistry (4)
Currently taking APS: AP language, AP Physics, AP US, and AP French
Next Year's APS: AP Biology, AP calculus and possibly AP Language</p>
<p>I would have loved to take AP Global, AP Environment, and, but none of these are given at
my school.</p>
<p>Essay: I haven't written it yet, but I'm a good writer so I'm sure it'll be good.
Recommendations: I have one teacher in mind and the other I am not sure of. The one who I'm sure I will get a recommendation is a harvard graduate and he's been my teacher for two years and the advisor of the community service club that i've been in for three years.</p>
<p>ECS:
-Varsity swimming for two years
-Yearbook for the past two years (planning on doing it next year as well). I started out as a staff writer, now I'm a section editor, and I'm hoping to be editor in chief next year.
-Local Community service organization for three years: Started out as member and I'm currently secretary. Next year i'll most likely be president.
-NHS member- inducted this fall
-Jobs: I don't have a real job... but I do babysit a lot and I'm planning on getting my life-guarding license and working part-time summer
-This summer I'm going to be doing an internship with a local biochemistry professor
-I've tried out for the school play the past 3 years and I finally got in this year! I'm doing NYSSMA for singing as well and I've done women's choir for three years
-Awards: 6 small school awards. At our school teachers are allowed to give out two achievement awards at the end of the year (usually for highest average). I was nominated for our school quarterly achievement award twice and I won once. I also won an essay contest in 9th grade, sponsored by local colleges.
-I volunteer at our local library quite a bit and I'm a student member on the library board</p>
<p>I really want to go to Cornell but I don't think I have enough activities outside of school and my SAT scores were much lower than I wanted them to be.</p>
