<p>I'm a junior in high school right now, and will be entering college in the fall of 2013. Cornell is by far my top choice, and I work very hard to get into it. Here are my credentials so far:</p>
<p>Freshmen Year:
Honor Spanish 2-94
Honors English 1-97
Honors Algebra 2-99
Honors Geometry-99
Honors Biology-100
Honors World History-100
CP Engineering (my school didn't offer any Honors Engineering)-98</p>
<p>Sophomore Year:
Honors Spanish 3-98
Honors English 2-96
Honors Pre Calc-96
Honors Anatomy and Physiology-99
Honors Chemistry-98
AP American History-98 (and a 5 on the AP Exam)</p>
<p>Junior Year: (after 1 semester)
AP Calculus AB-92
AP European History-94
Spanish 4 Honors-94 (my grade was screwed over by my teacher putting in an unfair class participation grade right before grades close, which won't happen this semester
AP Biology-98</p>
<p>I plan on taking AP Calc BC, AP Environmental Science, AP Spanish, AP Chemistry, and Physics senior year.</p>
<p>In terms of test scores, as mentioned before, I got a 5 on the AP US History exam. I have yet to take the SATs yet, but based on the PSAT results, I'm at about a 640 for critical reading, 690 for writing, and 720 for math. I also got a 690 on the SAT Subject Test for US History, and plan on taking more later on this year, along with the ACT Test.</p>
<p>In terms of extracurricular activities, I have:
-Cross Country (MVP, next year captain)
-Indoor Track (Varsity, next year captain)
-Lacrosse (Varsity, possible captain next year)
-Micro Finance Club (current vice president)
-Junior State of America (JSA-and tresurer)
-Debate Team (official next year)
-Newspaper Club (staff writer and possible editor next year)
-Math League
-School Council
-100+ hours of community service
-Year round job
-Will be joining National Honor Society and National Spanish Honor Society later this year</p>
<p>In terms of class statistics, my rank is currently 1 out of about 280, and my unweighted GPA is a 4.27.</p>
<p>I have also been selected for numerous special programs, as I was a James Otis Scholar, will be attending a Stand Up Against Bully Leadership Conference in about 2 weeks, and over the summer attended an EMC Leadership program.</p>
<p>In addition, I want to attend Cornell to major in ecology, and specifically ornithology, which Cornell is famous for their Lab of Ornithology. I figure being skilled in the Ornithology field will give me an edge, as not many high schoolers have an interest in pursuing a career in that field.</p>
<p>So what's my chance?</p>
