Chance me please! :)

<p>Cornell is my dream school and I am very nervous about my SAT score. I got an 1830 and I know it's low, but I think I might still have a chance. I am interested in pursuing veterinary medicine and Cornell has an amazing pre-vet program.
Here are my other stats:
-Varsity Basketball (fresh-senior); captain junior and senior yr.
-Varsity Lacrosse (fresh- senior)
-Girls' League Club officer (soph-senior)
-CSF officer (senior)
-Girls State delegate
-Spirit of Community Award
-Volunteer with a non-profit called Pets for Patriots- organized community service projects in my community benefitting veterans and shelter pets (spoke to veterans at a naval hospital, gave baked goods, made cards, supplies drive for the local animal shelter)
-Volunteer at the shelter
-Class rank 15 of 460
-Overall (including freshman yr) GPA 4.14
-FLAGS program
- I have really great recs from teachers who know me well, my AP Chem teacher and AP English language teacher (who have both had me twice) & also from the charity's director and founder with whom I've collaborated with to organize the service projects</p>

<p>Your extracurricular activities and recs (assuming they’re as good as you anticipate) will definitely help you, but I have to admit that your scores aren’t in the range they’re accustomed to. You don’t provide a lot of information about your academic and test histories; if you’ve taken a lot of APs and scored well on those (subject tests for that matter too), then I think your SAT scores will matter a lot less. Your test scores put you at an automatic disadvantage, but you sound like you have a lot of other things going for you, so if your recs and essays reflect that, you could definitely still get in. Best of luck! :)</p>
