Physics: 680-710(It is low however, I have not finished physics yet and had to teach myself over the summer)</p>

<p>ECs:</p>

<p>Re-started Math clinic: We help students in math whenever they need it.</p>

<p>Was a reading buddy volunteer at an organization, however, in my junior year(in the very beginning) I approached the couple running the organization and asked if I can start a math program(I wanted to make the same impact, but for math). They were happy that someone approached them with this idea and we got it started. We have about 20-25 kids in math, and I will most likely be able to get a LOC from a parent. Ever since, the organization has made both programs, reading and math, a year-long program(summers used to be off), and we even started a summer camp for the first time.</p>

<p>RetirementéNurisng Home: Volunteer, but I will be writing an essay on this.</p>

<p>Essay Topic: My experience with a particular resident at the retirement home, who was very angry, somehow, he liked me. There is a tragic portion to it, I took the friday before my ACTs off, and when I come there the next week, he isnt there, this goes on for a couple of weeks and I eventually find out he died. Also, when I went to his memorial, his chidren didnt even come. I went to take the rose, and take the candle, which is still with me today.</p>

<p>Other Honours:
I am a lifeguard(had to get like 5 certifications to get this)</p>

<p>I am Canadian and Indian</p>

<p>I will be applying as a Math major(unpopular i believe at Cornell)</p>

<p>I know I do not have the three foreign languages, but I emailed them and they said that its fine, but I will have to take courses there if I come.</p>

<p>Thank you for reading this long post, I will be applying to Cornell ED.</p>

<p>Please chance for
Cornell
Chicago
CMU
MIT

<p>Don’t know your chances, but I plan to be there when they raise #34 to the rafters of the TD Boston Garden! I just thought you’d want to know!</p>

<p>lol</p>

6

<p>I forgot to mention that my “GPA” is 3.96</p>

7

<p>Ivies–reach
Chicago–high match
CMU–?
MIT–reach
Duke–low reach
Berkeley–low reach</p>

<p>so many of these schools are really hard to get into, and although you have good stats, they could be better. I would work on getting that SAT up. Your ECs are good, but not extraordinary, though your story with the retirement home resident probably makes a great essay. good luck!!</p>

8

<p>@oreo3107 Cornell a reach??? And i can pay for Duke if that helps at all.</p>

9

<p>CMU means carnegie mellon</p>

10

<p>@oreo3107 I meant UChicago, you think i am a high match???</p>

11

<p>Cornell CAS is a reach. ACT is low, and no EC’s other than math clinic and some volunteering. With all the applicants that are extremely qualified the school receives, you’re not highly distinguished.</p>

12

<p>@Preppy2112 ACT is low??? middle 50 is 30-34</p>

13

<p>32 is only around 2100. That’s not all that impressive, especially when they get plenty of 34+ people with far more EC’s and shown interest. </p>

14

<p>@Preppy2112 i got a 33, with a 35 in math and 36 in science, my ECs show interest in math, my marks and contest awards also show interest in math. and my cornell essay is going to center around a math professor i want to learn from. Also math is an unpopular major</p>

15

<p>Ok</p>

16

<p>Low reach, I would say.</p>

<p>Pros: the essay sounds interesting, decent stats, tutoring program</p>

<p>Cons: lack of focused ecs and leadership roles. International and ORM.</p>

<p>If you convey yourself well through essays, the you have a pretty goood shot!</p>

17

<p>@FuzzyPeaches22 ty, can u explain wat u mean by lack of focused ECs?</p>
