<p>Hi! I'm thinking about applying early decision to either Duke or Cornell, i still have to choose. My dad is an alumni at Duke, but Cornell seems easier to get in. I was considereing Darthmouth but because some kid decided to reject the ED couple years ago my schools in a big fight with them. This senior year was the first time a kid got accepted there in like 7 years.</p>
<p>I know i'm only a sophmore but can you chance me and give me any recommendations on what to improve on?</p>
<p>I go to a public school and i'm asian</p>
<p>ACT: 30 as a sophmore so i'm definately redoing it</p>

<p>Next year I'm planning to do Women's Club, Environmental Club, and hopefully Global Connections</p>
<p>Decent amount of community service hours, but i'm planning to do major outdoor community service such as restoring lands</p>
<p>Do you have any more commendations to improve on?</p>
