<p>(I have more stuff but I can only include EC from my Junior year and on)</p>

<p>Letters of Rec: Cornell requires one, and I'm getting two. One of them will be really good. The other one should be decent. </p>

<p>Essays: Common app essay was taken very well by multiple English professors. Currently working hard on the supplement continuing under the same theme as the common app.</p>

<p>Etc: I was waitlisted at CAS out of highschool, but was later rejected :(</p>

<p>Please chance me!! thank you!!</p>

<p>Bump once once</p>

<p>I think you definitely have a good chance. just keep up good grades and make your essays pop.</p>

<p>Thank you. Yeah my common app essay will pop, and my supplement essay is in work to do the same hopefully. Any others?</p>

<p>129 Views and 1 reply…-_- bump…</p>

<p>and also, CALS doesn’t require SAT, does that mean they don’t want to see it at all or they don’t mind if I send it?</p>

<p>Bumping it once more :(</p>

<p>Last bump --__–</p>

<p>Those two AP scores… You’re blaming the teacher?
That just means you can’t study by yourself and/or don’t try hard enough.
Don’t say I haven’t been in your place - I thought my history teacher was horrible.
It was me, obviously, as I got the 70s on the tests and my friends got 90s.
I just struggled harder, read the textbook three times over, and got a 5 on the exam.</p>

<p>If everyone else in that class got 1s, then maybe you’re right, but I can almost bet that one or two people got a 4 or 5.</p>

<p>With that in mind, I will say very low chances to Cornell.
You just don’t seem to come out as a strong independent person with those two scores.</p>

<p>What happens if I remove this bias…</p>

<p>Good GPA. What major you going for? CAS has many to choose from. -.-
Hmm… Have you done anything to work towards your career goal?
Indeterminate. Not good, not bad. Looks like you can handle the course material, but, well, can you go beyond that?</p>

<p>Right it’s not fair to blame all on my teachers but what’s more unfair is to judge me based on those two scores plus I’m probably not even gonna submit my ap scores cuz I’m just gonna take the classes over again.</p>

<p>I’m applying as biology and society major at cals and I was waisted as a bio major at cas. I have done work related to my major and I described it in my personal statement which got good reviews from multiple professors.</p>

<p>Thanks for your input</p>

<p>He’s not applying for CAS he’s applying for CALS. That brings a poor chance to a good one, in my mind, with those stats. AP test scores don’t matter much at all, I don’t think.</p>

<p>The only reason I judged you on those two AP scores was cause out of everything you put in, those were the things that most deviated from your good grades, etc. Then you shot down the teachers, which wasn’t cool. >.<</p>

<p>Hmm… Oh, it was in the title! <em>Doh</em>
Well, I can’t say much. Depends on how much professors liked your work.</p>

<p>@Antiflamer: Thank you for your input</p>

<p>@Supervisor:
You said, “You just don’t seem to come out as a strong independent person with those two scores.”</p>

<p>I don’t mind if you judge me on those scores, but to claim that I’m not a strong independent person based on those two scores…is unfair I would say. And well, those teachers were pretty terrible. Thanks though.</p>

<p>Update lol:
-Both Common app essay and Cornell supplement were taken well by multiple professors.
-Elected as Circle K President (I don’t know how much that helps though)</p>
