I think I have a very low chance of getting accepted to Cornell, do I even have a chance?
Gpa unweighted: 3.9
Gpa weighted: 4.1
Sat score (out of 1600): 1240
Sat reading: 640
Sat math: 600
(planning on taking the ACT next month + 2 sat subject tests)
I have taken 6 ap classes and my current math class in at the calculus bc level. I am very involved in my schools band program and have done a few sports but I am not involved in any clubs at the moment. I have participated in Model UN and ISEF, and Solo and ensemble competitions in my area and have gotten awards on my gpa and academics all four years of high school. My psat score was in the top 2% for hispanics in my area so I was recognized by the National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP). I am bilingual and full hispanic (i was born here and am second generation on my dad’s side, third on my moms). Only my mom went to college and I plan on applying for financial aid. I want to major in biomedical engineering and pursue a career in research for drugs to cure diseases (my mom has lupus which is a huge influencer on my decision which I talk about in my college application essay). I’m also planning to apply early decision. Thoughts on my chances and does anybody have any similar experiences? Did you get in or not? Thanks for the help in advance!
