<p>essay: I would really like to realate my highschool career to weather, and then relate life to weather. Also, deciding what path I wanted to take, and knowing when I found maps and areas of snowfall amounts I drew when I was 6 years old. </p>

<p>Early Decision</p>

<p>I know, weak test scores, let me know what you think please, thanks</p>

<p>Wow, never absent in 13 years, that's impressive.</p>

3

<p>well, technically ive been on field trips, but they dont count, lol B)</p>

4

<p>probably admit. your ECs, GPA, & minority status trump your weak SATs.</p>

5

<p>Yeah you SATs are pretty weak but with those ec's good gpa and stellar recs. i think you have a shot at cornell.</p>

6

<p>get your sat up toa 1350 and u have a good shot</p>

7

<p>ivy in the 1200's is really tough</p>

<p>According to wiki (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACT_(examination)%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACT_(examination)&lt;/a&gt;) your ACT score equates to 1320-1350. You have a very impressive school record, and decent EC's. With your minority status, i'd say your very likely to be accepted.</p>

<p>How do you get 700 hours of tutoring? That's an hour a day for every day of school from freshman through junior year...thats a bit much...care to explain?</p>

10

<p>sure, the 700 hours isn't all tutoring. I also play organ at church every weekend, and the majority (at least 450) of those hours were done at the local library, this includes summers, as well as the 8th-9th grade summer.</p>

11

<p>Those are some pretty bizarre community service hours you posted. I did two to six hours a week for two years and only racked up 200-300 hours total.</p>

<p>Also, are those your NYSSMA scores? Because that's not how NYSSMA reports.</p>

12

<p>double that (4 years) and add 3 hours per week for church and that's how.</p>

13

<p>btw, levels I-IV are on a 1-28 scale, 28 being the highest. This scales also goes for all ensemble performances regardless of level of difficulty. Solo levels V , VI, and All-State (VI- grading is significantly more difficult) are graded from 1-100 , 100 being the highest. This rubric has been intact since the 70's, so if you think it is different, enlighten me B)</p>

<p>When I got my scores back I recieved a score out of thirty, but I play violin. And not at level four.</p>
