SAT II: 700 Math I , 670 US History
ACT: 32 composite (31 Math, 35 English, 32 Reading, 30 Science) - will be taking October sitting so not sure if this is my highest yet
Unweighted GPA (out of 100): N/A
Weighted GPA (Out of 100): 94.56

Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): NA

Teacher Recommendation:
AP Bio and World History/APUSH Teacher: Both should be great. My Bio teacher is also my coach, and my History teacher is the advisor for my club.
Additional Letter of Rec from Cornell Summer Program professor: Not sure, could be glowingly personal or could be cookie-cutter generic for all students offered a letter of rec from him.
Counselor Rec: Very good

Bump, but SAT II for US History is actually 680, not 670 (not that it makes much of a difference though)

3

Bump, ACT is a 33 (34 English, 32 Math, 32 Reading, 35 Science)

Did you send your AP scores? Main concern is that there isn’t really anything really special about this application. I’m on the fence about this application. Good to see that you got an A in a Cornell class and received a hopefully great letter from the professor. I’d say you’re an applicant where the letters and essays are going to be what really make a difference.
