<p>I forgot to add that my ACT is a 33</p>

3

<p>Any leadership? Any hooks?</p>

4

<p>Hooks: I guess girl engineer.
I would say that, since my ees are more unusual, that my dancing requires leadership from everyone especially since I’ve made it to the top level.</p>

5

<p>Girl engineer - you just said the magic words. I say high match/low reach.</p>

6

<p>K. Do you think I should apply ED?</p>

7

<p>Yes. The ED acceptance rate is 43% putting the odds most definitely in your favor!</p>

<p>Congrats on hard work and good luck.</p>

8

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>The essay is really important to Cornell! Make sure you stress your passion for engineering but also say something about yourself.</p>

10

<p>I’m planning on talking about this this letter I wrote to the mayor about the garage sale statue limiting one sale per year. So I related garage sales to recycling, which gets going into my passion for environmental issues.</p>

11

<p>That’s a perfect idea! But talk of the emotional experience of taking such action and how you “summoned courage” and stood up for what you believed in. Also, don’t discuss you essay in too much depth openly here. Feel free to message me if you want me to edit it! I was accepted off of the waitlist at Cornell last year.</p>

<p>Thanks!! When I get done with it, I might PM you! Thanks so much for the help:)</p>
