<p>Can anyone chance me for Cornell University?</p>
<p>I'm going for the full IB diploma at my school (I'm a junior), and so far I've got all high A's, with an UW GPA of 3.825+ (I say plus because it's been a while since I was able to check, and my grades have gone up since then). I was 32nd in my class out of 369, but again, my grades have improved since I could check. My prospective score on the SAT this time is ~2000, but I'm working to try and push it up as much as I can.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me some honest chances? And if you don't think I can get in, please give some advice on where I can improve. I'm always trying to improve my grades, but if my SAT score, which I'm most worried about, is my major place for improvement, feel free to put any advice you may have that'll help me!</p>
<p>Over 150 hours working at a preschool and with the special education class in my school.
I volunteer on weekends and evening events at our local museum, working events and helping to guide tours. I’ll be continuing that through high school unless something comes up
President of Mu Alpha Theta for 1 year and sure to win next year (pretty much did everything for the club) and I got second place in last year’s local competition, expecting better results this year
NHS member in junior year, hoping for president in senior year
I’ll be spending one month in France helping tutor students in English next year
No sports I’ve wanted to get involved, but my school only has, like, five sports, none of which I’ve had previous experience in.
Hoping to get more involved with outside of school sports this year, but my town’s pretty small, so it’ll be hard to find something.</p>
<p>I’ve only known two people who have been accepted to Cornell. The one that went had a better GPA and ECs than you, and the other one who chose Dartmouth over Cornell, even better stats. </p>
<p>I’d say you really want to aim for the top 5% of your school. Do you have a weighted GPA as well? I don’t know how IBs function, sorry. Your ECs are nice, but I have no idea what Mu Alpha Theta is involved in so please expand on that. Try to aim for a higher SAT score as well. 2000 won’t help you. 2200+ is best. </p>
<p>You’re still a junior though, so there’s a lot of time to study up and get better grades. Good luck :D</p>
