Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Sorry some of the information isn't too detailed.
I know this is a long shot.</p>

<p>I was going to take a gander and apply to Cornell Engineering or Liberal Arts Early Decision.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.3 unweighted/a lot higher weighted (my school weighs it using a 7 point scale)
Class Rank: hopefully top 15% by end of year
SAT I: 2220 (800CR/740M/680WR), I took it again in May, but didn't get scores yet, and they'll probably be lower.
SAT II: Taking June 7.
More or less competitive school, Pennsylvania (Philadelphia suburb).</p>

<p>Extracurricular:
Almost nothing: theater for a little bit in 9th grade, physics olympics in 11th grade (this year)</p>

<p>Work:
Retirement home (approx. 10 hours a week)
Library (approx. 6 hours a week)</p>

<p>AP
Sophomore: Statistics (B), Computer Science (C)
Junior: Calculus AB (B+), European History (A), Language and Composition (A-)
Senior (next year courses): Physics C, US Gov and Pol, Literature and Composition</p>

<p>Hopefully will take Calc II at local community college in the summer</p>

<p>Chance for National Merit Scholarship (228 on PSAT, definetly commended).</p>

<p>Your GPA is way too low even if it's unweighted, and you have pretty much no extra activities. Honestly speaking, I don't think you have a shot at any of the Ivys, even Cornell.</p>

<p>Of course no one can really say since it's really just a crap shoot, but Ivy applicants are extremely competitive, with tons of activities, community service, excellent grades, and awesome test scores. With almost no ECs, and a lower rank and GPA, it just seems very unlikely.</p>
