any chance at cornell??

<p>i know my scores suck, but what do you think?</p>

<p>-from puerto rico, lower middle class, from a small town. english is 2nd language.</p>

<p>gpa is 4.0 (out of 4.0)</p>

<p>1910 SATs (im pretty sure i did better last saturday)
top score in my class on the college entrance exam in puerto rico (not the SAT but also by the College Board) which wont count for anything but im sure my teachers will love to mention on my rec. letters (the college board gives an award for this but not until graduation)
ive taken the most advanced classes my school has to offer ( no APs cos my school doesnt have them)
national honor society member-president of my school's nhs
vice president of the science club
student council member
school recycling program coordinator
honor roll throughout high school</p>

<p>eight years of classical guitar education, played in a bunch of different ensembles in school and elsewhere (classical guitar quartet, popular music workshop, school choir guitarist and assistant to the music teacher...)
played soccer for the last two years
member of community group that promotes consciousness about environmental issues</p>

<p>part time job at a local surf shop ...</p>

<p>i went to a journalism program at penn state summer before last, and to a biotech program at a university here last summer...</p>

<p>i know this is in no way impressive but does anyone think i'd stand a chance if i write really good essays??</p>

<p>Well, you're Hispanic, so affirmative actions works in favor for you. I'd say as long as you bring that SAT over 2000 and write good essays, you stand a decent chance, especially if you do ED.</p>

<p>decent chance ED with 2000+ just as kentric said but like even with AA i think you gotta have a superscore of like 2100+ stand a good shot, but you def have the gpa</p>

<p>thanks! anyone else??</p>
