<p>Please chance me for Cornell ED at CAS, best of luck to you all as we're about to start our last year of high school! :)</p>
<p>Gender: Male</p>
<p>Nationality: Thai</p>
<p>Does need fin aid, could probably afford only $50k per year, but I understand Cornell is need-blind for internationals, but does not guarantee aid.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.85 UW
Graduating with: 8 IGCSE, 2 As Level, 4 A Level (Most rigorous in school)
Rank: School doesn't rank but I'm sure if I ask nicely my GC can put down top 5%... cheating? xD</p>
<p>Small British international school - hardly ever sent students to America at all :P</p>
<p>SAT: 2010, M660, CR670, W680 - Retaking in October</p>
<p>SAT II: 750 Bio, 650 Lit (really awful, retaking in Nov :P)</p>
<p>EC:</p>
<p>President of Theatre Club - write and direct my own plays for 7 years (short Common App essay)
School Choir and Ensemble - Repertoire adviser and pianist (ensemble won International School Association of Thailand's chamber music competition)
Editor In Chief - Yearbook, 2 years
Taking music performance classes at local conservatory</p>
<p>Student Council - Vice President + Secretary dual position
Assistant GC (share GC's workload)
Financial Manager, Prom Committee
President of Community Service Club - not involved much in actual service, but organizes and runs them
Military Training - over 400+ hours non-compulsory training
School prefect - school operates in cheesy prefect system :D Appointed 1 of the 5</p>
<p>Finalist (Top 10) at prestigious national English essay and speech competition (involving hundreds of high schools)</p>
<p>So what do you think? Worth a shot? Or should I look at any other colleges, suggestions?</p>
<p>With these scores I am among the top applicants for any BA program in my country, but I'm sure the standards are much higher overseas.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your time :D</p>
