Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University
1

<p>White male from Ohio
GPA 4.125W (Projected GPA for 1st Semester Senior Year: 4.6333)
Rank 33/328 (May go up after this semester, but the transcript sent has this rank on it)
Senior Courses: Honors Physics, AP Government, AP Calculus, AP Chemistry
ACT 32 (E 32, M 33, R 32, S 31)
SAT II : Math II 800, Chem 790
APs: US History (5)
School is very competitive, we already have 3 kids into Ivy's (2 Columbia, 1 Yale) and Cornell has taken several kids over the years
Very Rigorous schedule (especially in Maths and Sciences)</p>

<p>Essay: Life changing experience in which I almost died and learned more about myself in the process. I thought it was pretty good.</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: 1 of them is good the other I assume is pretty good, not sure about the councilor rec but I think she did ok.</p>

<p>Work Experience: Plenty of that, spent about 3 years working to save for college including during school (About 20 hours usually 4-5 days a week from 5pm-10pm so I couldn't really participate in many extra circulars)</p>

<p>EC's: really lacking here, I think I wrote down Football for 2 years and Weightlifting in my spare time for 4 years.</p>

<p>Awards: Plenty of district awards, 1 in English and 2 in Mathematics, also Honor Roll and little school awards. As well as a Top 25% on the Financial Literacy Exam.</p>

<p>Hook: I was born in the Former Soviet Union if that helps my chances.</p>

<p>Will the fact I had to work late in the night and thus could not maintain any EC's hurt my chances severely or will the adcoms look past it?</p>

<p>I feel that the fact that you work late might offset the lack of EC's and some consider holding a job to be an EC. Anyways, everything looks pretty good and for the most part in range, except the EC's, so this would be a low reach, maybe a high match.</p>

<p>I also want to be a Chem Engineer :) Good luck!</p>
