<p>Hey,
I am an indian junior attending a public school in ohio. Just need some input on my chances to attend CORNELL</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 (no ranking system in school but AP gives .05 credit)
with aps) therefore weighted will be 4.6. Will probably be valdec. </p>

<p>AP's(12)including senior year : bio, chem, physics B, physics c, psycology, history, gov't, english 11, english 12, stat, calc, environmental. (2 aps were summer courses at northwestern)</p>

<p>EC's: (lots of volunteer work, at least 250 hrs)
Tennis (4yrs). Scholar athlete and 4yr varsity.
Link crew leadership- VP
Key club- VP
Academic team 4yrs varsity
science olympiad
wright state action team
NHS
Honors seminar of metropolitan dayton
Volunteer at local hospital
Volunteer at nursing home, and soup kitchen
Afterschool Tutor
Guitar 6 yrs
Piano 4 yrs
3rd place in Physics teams competition in ohio.
umm I also started a band that plays locally (not sure if this matters but oh well.)</p>

<p>Test scores: (havent completed satII's yet)
Sat1: 2000 math: 720 Cr: 680 Wri: 600
Act: 31 with 10 on essay
PSAT: 2200
I plan to retake both tests however and am pretty confident that my scores on the SAT will improve by at least 150. </p>

<p>Choices: I plan or pursuing medical field but majoring in history or philosophy.
Please any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated</p>

<p>your test scores and extracurriculars don't match up with your intended major(s)</p>

<p>Yeah, I see your point. Do you think it will improve my chances if I just major in bio and go on a usual pre-med track with maybe a minor in another subject. Or are my test scores too low to be even considered because I thought my volunteering and gpa would have hopefully compensated. Thx for the help</p>

<p>get that SAT close to or over 2200 and you've got an excellent shot.</p>

<p>I don't really know is the extracurriculars not matching with the majors really matters.</p>

<p>My extracurriculars had nothing to do with Computer Science, and I was still accepted. </p>

<p>However, it would make you look better if you did do ec's related to pre-med or philosophy. Oh yeah, pre-med is not a major!</p>

<p>K, thx for the feedback. Yeah I realize that pre-med isn't a major what I meant was that I would major in bio and follow a "pre-med" guideline for medschool. Btw, I forgot to mention my ap scores.
Chem 4, us history 5, bio 5 havent recieved my other scores but Im sure they will also be 4's or 5's.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a good chance</p>
