<p>What is your intended major and what school are you applying to in Cornell (assuming CALS in this post)?</p>

<p>You’re a good applicant overall, but nothing really stands out. Try to get your SAT II Math score up if you can since a lot of applicants have 750+ if not 800 (depending on the school you apply to at Cornell).</p>

<p>Cornell - Low Reach
JHU - Reach</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply</p>

<p>i plan on becoming a biology major. Either applying to Human Ecology or Agriculture & Life Sciences. Which one would you recommend i apply too?</p>

<p>Very good chances at JHU and Cornell</p>

<p>i’m actually impressed by the fact that you’re a 16 year old senior. much props to you</p>

<p>humec and cals are both great for bio, but cals is a more versatile (for lack of a better word) school. you can major in anything from business to viticulture/enology. humec is basically all nutrition/bio/design and then one policy mgmt major. up to you</p>

<p>Thanks! My birthdayis December 20th so I’m actually the youngest kid in the senior class</p>

<p>good chances at both schools good luck</p>

<p>Low reach Cornell, Reach JHU. Apply ED for maximum effect! </p>

<p>Best of luck. I’m also thinking of being a bio major, thinking CAS? (I like the liberal arts approach in a not-so-liberal artsy school in general.) I need to look more closely at CALS; but in like three schools you can be a bio major…this gets confusing real fast, and its hard to transfer between schools (assuming I even get in, in the first place!!!). Subbed for interest.</p>

<p>In the meanwhile, if you feel like chancing me back…I’d love it. Thanks!

<p>Good awards, decent EC’s and decent test scores. Not to be racist, but I feel that you will have a great shot due to the fact that you are African American and 16 years old; it definitely paints a picture of you being an unique individual!</p>

<p>Cornell ED: You’re in.</p>
