<p>Cornell being my #1, Arts and Sciences as primary with my alternate as ILR, could anyone please offer their opinion on my chances to get in? And possibly any tips to further improve myself?</p>

<p>ACT

English - 30
Math - 31

Writing - 8</p>

<p>(My first and only ACT thus far. I will take another)</p>

<p>SAT
Critical Reading - 630

Writing - 600</p>

<p>(Those are the best of each section, from 2 SAT's I've taken. I won't take any more SATs, since the ACT is my better test.)</p>

<p>I'll be taking two SAT II Subject tests this October.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>9 AP's by the end of Senior Year</p></li>
<li><p>All other courses are Honors, with the exception of several classes which are unweighted.</p></li>
<li><p>Varsity Track - Letter & Scholar Athlete. Will have two more seasons for a total of 3 by the end of senior year.</p></li>
<li><p>Work experience at a local deli since I got my working papers at 13. So almost 4 years working a job.</p></li>
<li><p>National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, National Foreign Language Honor Society. Community service done through these Honor Societies.</p></li>
<li><p>Have participated in a walkathon for Juvenile Diabetes.</p></li>
<li><p>12 years of piano. Earned a 99%, 97%, and another 97% on three performances on Level 6 NYSSMA.</p></li>
<li><p>Was Debate Club Treasurer for freshman year. Only Officer position open to students. I also became the Club Representative as a result.</p></li>
<li><p>My dad is an alumni. A graduate of 1970.</p></li>
<li><p>Top 10% of class of 300+.</p></li>
<li><p>101.8% Average Weighted. So a 4.0 GPA at the moment.</p></li>
<li><p>Applied for 4 Year Army ROTC Scholarship. Will join Army ROTC regardless of Scholarship or not.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Any opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!</p>

<p>Thank you everybody! I appreciate all your input! It’s reassuring hearing responses like these, especially since Cornell is my dream college. It offers everything I want in a college, which no other college has hit every point I have on my “list.”</p>
