Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I'm a first generation female to go to college in my family. Cornell has always been my dream since I was a child and I am a rising senior in my high school and will be applying there in the fall. I would like to know my chances. I would appreciate it greatly. </p>

<p>I have a 3.8 GPA.
Varsity swimmer for 4 years
Varsity water polo for 2 years.
Culinary team member for three years.
Culinary competition winners 2nd and 4th in state.
I participated in the Duke TIP program.
I was an alumni for NYLF. Also I was nominated for GHP, GYLC, NYLF:M. All are academic programs to further your knowledge and challenge yourself further than your normal high school curriculum.
I started a branch of Heart for Africa at my school and I have been the president for two years.
I'm a member of Beta club, Latin honors society, and the technical honors society.
I am also the member of the Latin club.
I have been volunteering as a medical football assistant for 3 years for our high school football team and have studied and learned under the team doctor/physical therapist.
I am an AP scholar and have taken the maximum amount of AP classes that my school allows. I will have finished with 10 AP courses and an average of 4/5s on all of them.
My senior schedule is a full schedule with 5 APs, continuing culinary so I can compete at nationals this year, and continuing my 3rd year of Latin.
My AP classes consist of:
AP Human Geography
AP Language
AP World History
AP United States History
AP Literature and Competition
AP Biology
AP Macro Economics
AP Micro Economics
AP Government
AP Psychology</p>

<p>I am also on a research group for student website development for the HEFG. </p>

<p>I have almost 800 hours of community service, and will have over a 1,000 by the end of my senior year. </p>

<p>I have doubled the amount of sciences and language/English requirements that are required by my high school and recommended by Cornell. </p>

<p>I also have a couple of recommendation options which consist of an Olympic Chef which has mentored me for 3 years, a teacher which has been with me for 4 years, and a couple more that I think will help show my passion for sciences and my focus and determination to be the best at what I want to do. </p>

<p>I plan to visit Cornell within the next month and have a campus visit as well as maybe talk to some or the students and alumni in the area. Your recommendation on my chances would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thank you so much!
I’m planning on applying to the college of Arts and Sciences and just moments ago signed up for a campus visit at the end of the month. So my low GPA shouldn’t bring me down any? </p>

<p>I’m incredibly motivated and passionate with anything I do and I think that shows with my EC because when I start something I stick with it till it’s perfect.</p>
