<p>Hey guys, this is my first post I'm pretty new to this so sorry if I forget something.</p>
<p>Anyways, I want to apply ED to Cornell's CALS school, specifically to AEM. My second choice school is going to be ILR. Frankly, I don't care where my first year or so at Cornell is occupied so long as I can transfer to what I want to do in any form if my interests may happen to change. Right now I'm fairly certain I am going to pursue something in business/econ in some fashion. </p>
<p>Any honest (brutally honest) advice is welcome thanks again.</p>
<p>Cumulative Unweighted GPA at College Prep School is ~ 97 (Most recent 96.74)
-I am a Senior right now, first marking period is closing soon and with 4 AP classes (AB Calc, Gov, Bio, Lang and Comp) I'm looking at about a 95.
-Pretty much every marking period since 2nd quarter freshman year there has been a rising trend on my grades.</p>
<ul>
<li>Freshman Year Classes: Religious Studies, Regular Bio, Spanish, Geometry, AP World History, Regular English</li>
<li>Sophomore Year Classes: Religious Studies, Regular Chem, Chinese 1, Trig Honors, Regular European History, Regular English</li>

</ul>
<p>SAT:

Math: 650
Writing: 680
1340/2020</p>
<p>SAT Subject Tests:
Had a snafu in October testing (power was out and make up day was inconvenient) so I am taking them in November. I plan on taking US History, Literature, and Math 1 and plan on getting above 700 on at least two of them (US History and Lit (probably Math 1 as well but it is challenging for me)).</p>
<p>Extracurricular:
- Rowing- Big, huge, massive time commitment
- Political Club
- Big Brother- Play a big leadership roll in helping and tutoring freshmen individually.
- Mu Alpha Theta Mathematics Society
- National Honors Society
- Tons of community service
- Took week long immersion trip out of state living in simplicity and doing service work</p>
<p>Essays:
- Pretty killer commonapp essay I have been told.
- Supplemental essays are yet to be written but will be pretty good as well.</p>
<p>Recommendations:
- Math and English teacher recommendation- both will be glowing I'm sure.
- Outside recommender is the teacher who lead my out of state service trip- also will be glowing.
- All great and interesting people, I'm glad I picked them.</p>
<p>That's about it. Thanks again guys!</p>
