I WILL CHANCE BACK
I go to a very competitive high school and my cumulative weighted GPA is a 4.04, (my school only gives our weighted gpas) I know for sure that Cornell is my #1 choice school and I’m dying to go there but I’m worried that my freshman year grades were not good enough to get in. I haven’t finished testing yet but Im reaching to get at least at 34 on ACT.

Planning to major in Government and minor in Business
Also I made a very good connection with the admissions representative at Cornell (met her twice and she remembered me the 2nd time). Do admissions representatives make a difference in actual admissions?
