<p>What are my Chances of getting into cornell?</p>

<p>Basically I am extremely stressed about colleges recently. I was wondering my chances of getting into Cornell for Architecture. I am a Junior, I will probably apply early decision
Lets assume my portfolio is good.
My GPA is a 4.2/5.2 <---(WEIGHTED!!) I know this is bad; I go to the best highschool in my state, so hopefully it makes up for that, we don’t rank, but I’m probably second tier
AP classes: Biology, Chemistry, Chemistry 2 (my school splits it into two years of AP), Lang&Comp, Art History, and Calculus AB
For senior year I’ll be taking AP Calc BC, AP Studio Art, AP Gov, AP Physics, and AP Lit&Comp
I would like to add that I double up on languages; 6 years of Spanish, and 3 years of Chinese (including senior year) In total, I know five languages---I don't know if that really accounts for anything.
My Extracurriculars:
Science Olympiad
REACH
Young Democrats Club
Chess Club
National Art Honor Society
S.A.F.E Club
Played piano since I was 4, guitar since I was 12
Sports: Aikido, Wushu
Work at my mom’s store in my spare time
Taught kids drawing at a highschool and a college over the weekends
Helping tutor kids in the elementary school
Went to two colleges for their art programs-for one of the art programs, I was featured on their brochure for their next art program
Went to a foreign country summer of 10th grade and did about 100 hours of community service</p>

<p>SATs, AP Tests, and SATIIs:
Well, my PSATs suck, and I just took my SAT in January. If I don’t get at least a 2200, I’ll probably retake and superscore. I am also going to take the ACT.
For my SAT IIs, I have taken Math II and Biology. Both were around 700. I am going to retake Math II and take Math I and the English Subject Test; hopefully getting 750 or above.</p>

<p>Hopefully that was enough information...ahh..I'm nervous...</p>

<p>Well i can tell you that your resume looks a lot better than my best friend and he got in last year.</p>

<p>He just had a 4.8 GPA (weighted) and went to a really good private school. His SAT’s were 1350 i believe (1850 counting all 3). He lacked extracurriculars but he was also a minority (from brazil). He also only had 3 AP’s, i think they were art history, macro econ and Government</p>

<p>So it looks like you have a good shot to me :).</p>

<p>The first thing you need to do is chill out. You are a junior, you haven’t even applied yet.</p>

<p>Once you have all your test scores people can chance u better, psats really mean nothing.</p>

<p>Based on academics, you seem like a solid applicant. I know several kids from my high school class who got in there/ attend who had similar (if not weaker) applications, but I did come from a very well regarded high school.</p>

<p>Also, if you are Asian, I’d hate to say it but that’s not going to help you. Your essay should def be on your international service trip, unless you have something better.</p>

<p>Cheers</p>
