I am currently a high school senior and am looking to apply to Cornell’s college of Human Ecology as a global and public health science major within the next few months. My high school is pretty small ( 500 kids all together) and doesn’t offer very rigorous academics/ I haven’t had many opportunities ( taking an ap class online this year) so please keep that in mind
Stats:
Sat: 1850 ( 600 R, 600 M, 650 W) [I know this is a relatively low score for Cornell and will be retaking in october]
Sat 2: US History : 670
ACT: 29
GPA: 3.9 unweighted, 4.1 weighted ( 10-12)
Rank: 1
Ap: APUSH- 4, AP World- 3, AP Lang-3, ( currently taking ap lit and ap calc ab)
Clubs: Student government ( ASB VP, class president 3 years prior) CSF ( VP), Debate club ( founding member)
Sports: Varsity Basketball- 3 years ( team captain 2 years), Varsity Tennis 3 years( Team captain senior year)
Other: School Site council and Wasc leadership committee ( chosen by principal), Editor in chief of school paper (3 years), Chamber Choir ( 2 years)
Outside of school : Camp counselor at a science and math camp for 8th grade girls ( Tech Trek) during the summer- it was a very rigorous application process and only 7 counselors were chosen out of around 50 applicants. The camp was 10 days.
Community service: Volunteer at an assisted care facility within my local hospital ( around 30 hours)
I know that I am involved in a wide variety of activities, but i’m hoping that my outside school activities ( counselor at a math/science camp, volunteer at hospital) will maybe show admissions officers that i’m interested in health/ the stem field because of my major?
Any thoughts/ responses are appreciated! Thanks!
