<p>Hello, I'm thinking about applying to Cornell as my highest reach school and would love it if someone could chance me. However, I'm not sure which college I should apply to. I've heard AEM is more selective, but I would also prefer it over ILR. Could you chance me for both AEM an ILR?
And how much would applying ED help my chances? Here's my basic profile:</p>
<p>-White
-Male
-Rising senior at an above-average public high school in Michigan.</p>
<p>GPA:
-3.45 unweighted
-4.05 weighted.
-My UW is bad but my courses were very rigorous, evidenced by my weighted GPA.</p>
<p>ACT:
-33 composite (34 math, 34 English, 33 reading, 29 science, 31 E/W combined, 8 writing)</p>
<p>Class rank:
-I'm not sure if my school ranks but so far no information on class rank has been given to us. If I had to guess I'd say Top 10% but I'm really not sure.</p>
<p>Course load:
-Overall pretty rigorous.
-Two AP classes by the end of this year (Computer Science completed, Math this year). I didn't take the CS exam but will take the Math exam.
-10+ IB classes (will take IB exams for classes this year).
-The majority of my classes have been .4 (Honors) with a few .3s and one or two .2s (required credits).
-Just 1 C in 9th grade Spanish class.</p>
<p>ECs:
-3 freshman sports teams.
-4 JV teams ( I played JV baseball twice)
-1 varsity sport last year, 2 this year.
-I am lacking any major non-athletic leadership positions. I'm looking to join a well-ranked BPA club next year and possibly DECA if I can do both.
-JA Titan Business Simulation Classroom winner (went to "regional" competition at local private college.
-Not an official member of Programming Club but stayed in classroom for hours most days after school.
-My school really doesn't offer much in terms of clubs and opportunities for honors/awards. I would say I'm busier than 75% of the school due to sports and such.</p>
<p>I know I'm not the best applicant but if I can write a good essay what do you think my chances are? Thanks in advance.</p>
