Chance me for Cornell ED! WILL CHANCE BACK!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello all! I am a rising senior at a public high school in New Jersey looking for my chances at some high level universities. Here we go:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.98 UW (1 B+ In high school, all rest A's)
4.9 W (Ranked 12th of over 430 in class)</p>

<p>ACT:
35M
34E
33R
31S</p>

<p>33 Composite (33.25 AGHHHH I WANTED A 34)</p>

<p>35S
34E
29R
28M</p>

<p>32 Composite (Should I send this score too or just the higher one?)</p>

<p>I took SAT Subject tests (USH, Math II and Lit) but haven't recieved the scores yet. Expecting high 700's or 800 on USH and Math II, not sure about Lit.</p>

<p>SAT: 2150 (660 CR 690 M 800 W) Not submitting to colleges.</p>

<p>My school doesn't let me take APs until junior year. I took 4 APs this year (Calc AB (4) , Psych (5), Lang (4), APUSH (4)) and am taking 4 (Calc BC, Stats, Chem, Physics) next year. All of my other classes were all honors. I took the strongest schedule I could possibly take.</p>

<p>I have two leadership roles and various extracurricular activities. I am section and marching leader of the trumpets in the marching band, and am involved in countless other musical activities. I also have a lot of volunteering and am a member of 4 honor societies. Also involved in student council in school. Nothing outstanding, but I am pretty involved.</p>

<p>My essays should be about average, two of my teacher recs will be amazing and one will be okay, and my counselor rec should be very good.</p>

<p>I'm a white male, and my only hook is that I am first-generation even though my income bracket is >$150,000.</p>

<p>Will first generation help me at all?</p>

<p>Colleges:
Cornell ED CALS Bioengineering
UVA OOS EA
Northeastern EA (Any merit aid?)
Johns Hopkins
Northwestern
Penn
Dartmouth (Maybe)
Vanderbilt
Lehigh
George Washington U
TCNJ</p>

<p>Any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I will also elaborate if necessary.</p>

<p>If you are capable of a 35 in science and have time I would retake the SAT and get that 34 you were aiming for. With ED though, you probably cant. I would submit both scores in that case. Good chance to all schools on your list.</p>

<p>Send both ACT scores. Neither is bad and they will look at the highest from each section. First generation might help a bit. The worst part about you application will be your “average” essay. Also lack of some incredible stand out quality won’t help you at any of the top schools on your list. Nonetheless I still think you have a shot.</p>

<p>Cornell ED CALS Bioengineering- low reach
UVA OOS EA- high match
Northeastern EA (Any merit aid?)- match
Johns Hopkins- reach
Northwestern- reach
Penn- reach
Dartmouth (Maybe)- reach
Vanderbilt- reach
Lehigh- low match
George Washington U- match
TCNJ- no idea</p>

<p>Good luck! I hope you get in!</p>

<p>Cornell ED CALS Bioengineering- match w/ early especially.
UVA OOS EA- reach
Northeastern EA (Any merit aid?)- safety
Johns Hopkins- reach
Northwestern- reach

Dartmouth (Maybe)- very reach
Vanderbilt- match/slight reach
Lehigh- safety
George Washington U- safety
TCNJ- match/safety</p>
