<p>essays: commonapp one is pretty good. Supplement essays are ok IMO.
letters: Should all be pretty good. Idk,I can't read them
-no hooks at all</p>
<p>-I'm a little worried about my SAT scores. I took the October one, but i held in a really bad **** during the first section and completely whiffed the essay. The rest of it was fine though.
-Also, my first quarter grades are hanging in the low 90s. Not sure how much it'll hurt me. I heard Cornell doesn't always ask for first quarter grades from ED applicants. Maybe I'll get lucky.</p>
