<p>Hi- I'm a Mexican-American girl from rural Florida, and Cornell (ILR) is my number one choice. I'm a senior, and I'd appreciate your help!
My SAT is 2050 (730 CR, 620 M, 700 W.)
My GPA is 3.8 UW, 4.22 W.
There are only three AP classes at my school; I took AP English Language and US History last year, and got 5s on each. I'm taking English Lit this year, as well as self-studying for AP Psychology.</p>
<p>When I graduate I will have 4 math credits, 7 English credits (AP Lang is two credits, and I took two honors English electives), 6 social studies, and 4 science credits. My recomendations from should be great, especially from my APUSH teacher.</p>
<p>My ECs are a little weak- I was in marching band for two years, before the program more or less fell apart. Last year I was an assistant editor of the first edition of the literary magazine, and this year I am the editor-in-chief. I'm also on the Academic Team, in NHS, and FBLA. I'm worried that not being consistently active in any particular club will hurt me.</p>
<p>I do have two questions about Cornell- see, I'm from Florida, and I've never seen snow. So...what's that like? Will it be really difficult for a southerner to adjust?
Also- how is financial aid? I have two older sisters who will both be in college at the same time as me, and one younger sister who is in primary school. I don't want to be to much in debt, and my parents say they can probably pay about $4,000 tops. </p>
<p>Anyway- thanks in advance for any responses.</p>
