Hi everyone,
I am a rising junior in a smaller to medium sized high school. Please tell me my chances for getting into Cornell or any other Ivy league as an undergrad for a bio major. I don’t have my heart set on a specific major but I do want to do something related to biology.
Stats:
3.77 GPA (unweighted), I don’t know my weighted GPA because my school doesn’t do them
ranked 26/322 classmates, probably a bit better because I last was able to see my class rank before my year grades came out
aka top 12% in my graduating class
PSAT 10- 1250 (I didn’t study but will for all of my acts, sats and other psat)
Classes sophomore year: spanish 3 honors, honors chem, advanced algebra II, apush periods 1-3, honors biology, honors english
My school doesn’t let sophomores take aps excet for the periods 1-3 of apush. Honors is the highest level, followed by advanced, followed by standard which is the easiest level of classes.
Junior year classes: ap bio, ap physics 1, apush, ap english, honors spanish 4, entrepreneurship , advanced pre calc
ECs:
1 Year jv soccer(9)
1 year varsity soccer (10)
Wrestling JV (only girl on the all boys high school team) (9 and 10)
2 years varsity track and field ( first leg on 4x800, and running other distance events) (9&10)
Over 80 hours of volunteer hours with people with special needs and volunteer hours with youth wrestling practices
I run an Instagram account dedicated to vegan baking
class council
science national honors society (will be running for a position)
ocean science bowl
will be joining national honors society and spanish honors society next year as a junior and will be doing the same sports (all varsity I hope)
Does this seem like a good gpa or is it too low? Any reccomendations to improve my application will be greatly appreciated.
