<p>Cornell Architecture is my dream school- chances ED? Junior this year.</p>
<p>Courseload: Rigorous; All honors and a few AP except for history (only AP was offered, not honors, so I decided to take regular as a booster). 3rd best public school in the country.</p>

W grade: 95
UW grade: 91</p>

<p>Essays + Recs: Recs are fantastic (I needed one for SU, which I got from my PLTW teacher and it was excellent, granted I was his only female student that year out of all 6 classes he taught. The other is from SU professor who I'm assuming also wrote very kind words because according to the TAs I was one of his favorite summer students ever, I got an A)</p>
<p>Hooks: Both of my parents immigrated here a few years ago?</p>
<p>Any chance I can get in? I think my portfolio will be top-tier because of all the summer work I've done and I've heard they consider Interview (1/3) Portfolio (1/3) Scores (1/3) (so hopefully my gpa won't matter as much? I have the same exact stats as someone who got in regular and someone rejected early...so I don't know if I have a chance or not)</p>
<p>I absolutely love Cornell.</p>
<p>Also, I'm getting at best a C- in honors physics (it's taught at the AP level in my school so seniors can take the AP test at the end of the year) and i'm probably thinking of dropping down to regular next semester. Am I out of the running because of this?</p>
