<p>Applying to a 3 credit summer college course at Cornell for high school students. Cornell is one of my dream schools, and I'm wondering how competitive programs like this tend to be. I can't decide between a business course or a literature course (I'm kind of weird in that I really am into the liberal arts and business at the same time). Help me decide please :D</p>
<p>Stats:
cumulative GPA around 3.6-3.7 (my school is weird)
this year's gpa at the moment: 3.5 (the ask for current grades, and I'm afraid this might hurt me)</p>
<p>current schedule:
AP US History
AP Gov
Honors Precalc
Honors Spanish 3
Honors Chemistry
English 3 (no advanced english offered until senior year)</p>
<p>EC's:
3 year member of business club
writer for school newspaper
2 sport varsity athlete
over 150 hours of volunteer work in Grund County, Tennessee, over the period of 4 years (its a summer program with my youth group)</p>
<p>Scores:
SAT: 2190 (but i took again on march 8, so I'll have another score by time of application)
ACT: 32
PSAT (they ask for it I think): 217 sophomore year, 222 junior year</p>
<p>Awards:
3rd place schoolwide World History paper contest, sophomore year
perfect score of 8 on the Junior Writing Exam
National Spanish Exam: Level 1 Gold (further recognized as top 1% in state), Level 2 Silver (blah), won't know level 3 by time of application....</p>
<p>I'm just not sure how relevant my EC's are for a business program, even though I am really into business, and I don't really know what to expect from the process as a whole....I'm into business and english/writing, but I feel like my awards point more to literature and might be more impressive from that course's viewpoint...</p>
