<p>As a fellow Canadian, you seem to be in a good position. You have a variety of activities you are seemingly passionate about. Yes, your SAT’s should be a bit higher. In my opinion, getting about 2200 or so should prevent any negative impact on the rest of your application.</p>

<p>Assuming your year is almost over, and the marks which will be sent to Cornell (at the end of this semester) are almost prepared, you should start to focus on your essays. While a fair amount of “qualified” individuals apply to Cornell, it is my opinion that the “soft” parts of the application are really what contribute most to failure or success. If you arent a good writer, really work on it throughout the summer so you can fine tune it and get others to check it over. Other than that, good luck!</p>
