CALS Gives Extra AP Credits? / Chances :)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I heard from one of the recent grads at my high school that she got credit at CALS for getting a 3 on the AP Physics B exam (I did too). I was wondering if this applies to all students or if this was a special case?</p>

<p>Also... I was wondering what you think my chances are at getting in RD at CALS under the Animal Sciences major (I'm from NY, by the way).</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9ish, probably top 11% of my high school (which has a phenomenal relationship with Cornell & is one of the top high schools in the country)
SAT: 730 verbal, 670 math (I seriously cannot do SAT math, but I get 4.0s in all my advanced math courses)
SAT II: 730 writing, 720 biology, 660 U.S. History (mehhh)
Senior year courses:
AP Calculus AB
AP French
AP Biology (99 average & 100 on the midterm!)
AP Environmental Science
English electives
Social Studies electives
-- Midyear report EXCELLENT, have always done phenomenally in school with advanced, challenging courses
ECs:
Tons of volunteerwork at farms, veterinarians, MS society
Steady job
Summer experiences working at camp and attending Tufts vet summer program
Musical/artistic talent (sent art slides... have taken many art courses at high school and have had my work showcased)
President of unique club with volunteerwork
Member of various other clubs</p>

<p>Good essays & great recs... I show an extreme interest in veterinary medicine, yet I show I am very well-rounded and a good hard-working student.</p>

<p>What do ya think?</p>

<p>You'll probably get in. There's really no point in asking for your chances now as you've already submitted your app and decisions are coming in already. As for the AP Physics test, I think it's a special case. The AP Guide doesn't say anything about getting a 3 on the exam and getting credit.</p>
