BIG HOOK- RESEARCHER AT CORNELL WEILL MEDICAL COLLEGE IN NYC (their Medical School) (10-12)- Working on a research project that I can hopefully take to Intel or Siemens.</p>
<p>Recommendations:
Math Teacher (same guy in Freshman and Junior year)- I bombed my Freshman year with him and he didn't see much in me during Junior year. I did really well and I told him to write about how I changed and realized my priorities.
Handball Coach/ Bowling Coach- either would probably write about my positivity and work ethic.
Cornell Medical School Mentor- Worked with this guy for three years.</p>
<p>I really have no reason for bombing freshman year and not realizing my priorities late in sophomore year. I will forever regret it. Junior year, I kicked butt...kinda, not CC kicking butt (95+). I go to a specialized HS in NYC, BxSci, ranked 51 in the country. We don't weigh our averages. However, due to my extensive involvement in Red Cross Club and the numerous hours I spend in lab, I wasn't able to focus as closely on my studies as I had hoped.</p>
<p>Chance? Is working at their medical college not enough to look past my 88.3?</p>
