I also have over 250 hours of community service, most from mentoring little children and dong stuff around my school. </p>
<p>I also did some international stuff like raise money for this mosque back in my home country and I also started an organization there to keep up my project in my abscence (this was done over a summer). I also helped a hospital in this country and started a fundraiser program for that too. </p>
<p>Also I am from Sri Lanka so I think the minority thing will help. </p>
<p>I don't know if it helps but I also am multilingual and play guitar.</p>
<p>I also did a few clubs throughout the years but the ones above are my main ones that I stuck with all four years. </p>
<p>Let me know my chances of getting in. Thanks.</p>
<p>sri lankan might count as asian, which is over represented minority, which may actually hurt…</p>
<p>Decent scores, good curriculum, good extracurriculars, and a good amount of community service. So you have a chance.
But hey, look, it’s an Ivy League. Me telling you anything is not going to increase your chances.</p>
<p>You need to stop spamming. You posted this on the Cornell 12,13, and 14 (twice)'s wall, and Cornell’s main page twice.</p>
<p>OMG please stop posting a million times…was going to chance you but that’s so so so annoying… so sorry!</p>
<p>what college are you applying to? are you an international student?
(and, yes, sri lankan = asian. I looked it up.)</p>
<p>Wait question… for all of you who love my posts sooo much… does asian just mean from china or korea or something…?</p>
<p>seriously? asian = from asia. area.</p>
<p>In college admissions, “Asian” generally refers to east Asian people such as Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese. Indians don’t necessarily apply to that category.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>We don’t need to see you or your stupid little ■■■■■ posts.</p>
<p>wait islander4 are you talking about that insincere ******* or me?</p>
<p>if asian doesn’t refer to south asians like indians and sri lankans, what do they belong to…I’m pretty sure theres not a separate box for them.</p>
<p>i think you’ve got a decent chance.</p>
<p>could someone chance me please? </p>
