<p>SATI: if you had a bad day, then hey, don't worry you'll do better next time. What was your math subscore though? Actually, what were all your subscores haha.</p>
<p>SATII: Good scores (great for physics, and in spanish you qualify for the advanced standing assesment because it's over 690) Consider Math IIC for your third test. (on second thought, seing as you're taking pre-calc senior year, maybe IC might be a better choice, but either way math SATII IS required for engineering)</p>
<p>GPA: 3.85 (unweighted?) and top 10%. great job you're set in that department.</p>
<p>ECs: Nice to see you sticking with things. What's with varsity football in 12 only; you walk on as a kicker or something? (just curious, no point in my question :))</p>
<p>You've got several APs and a senior schedule that shows your challenging yourself, that's good. I notice you're taking precalc senior year. The engineering college requires calculus as a HS course. <a href="http://admissions.cornell.edu/downloads/freshmen_reqs_timetable.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.cornell.edu/downloads/freshmen_reqs_timetable.pdf</a> **so you should write them a letter and explain why you haven't taken it---that's what they say you should do, explain deficiencies in a letter---and also include in that letter that you are taking an online course for AP calculus AB concurrently with Precalc to prepare for the AP at the end of the year.<a href="ironically,%20you%20don't%20really%20need%20precalc%20for%20calc,%20it's%20very%20doable,%20but%20you%20really%20have%20to%20take%20that%20course%20or%20you%20will%20die%20in%20the%20engineering%20college%20where%20everyone%20else%20has%20taken%20calc%20before.">/b</a> While it won't be as good as having calc on your transcript, it will show your drive, initiative, and resource, which are good qualities they look for.</p>
<p>I don't know anything about regents, i'll ask my father, he's from BK.</p>
<p>The community service is a good thing, especially if it wasn't just random. Internship and college courses show the abovementioned drive and resource.</p>
<p>Hispanic and ED both will help you out in admissions. If you're female that will help even more.</p>
<p>I dont know how they will respond to your calc situation, but taking that OUT OF THE PICTURE, and assuming you get the scores you think you merit on your SATI, AND assuming you get a good score on Math IIC, you have a pretty good chance I think. However, we'll have to see how those scores are. The calc situation will probably hurt you, but it would look very good to the adcom if you selfstudied to meet the requirement rather than just saying "I got behind in the math track" or "most students at my school don't take calc in HS" or something lazy sounding like that.</p>
