<p>Asian Male living in Ontario, Canada (I'm compared to all canadian applicants)</p>

<p>SAT
2150
750Math, 720 CR, 680 Writing (10 Essay)
SATII
Bio, MathII, and French in January (Got some pretty bad scores in December and I'm retaking)</p>

<p>91% Average over 3 years of High School, but here, everything from 80-100 is an A
3.9ish UW GPA i think (No B's in HS, straight A's)
Competitive public HS, rank 7/220 UW
taken the hardest courseload our school offers (No AP/IB though)</p>

<p>ECs
Varsity football for 3 years Starting WR (We were ranked Number 1 varsity team in Canada for 3 years straight, lost in the provincial finals this year)
played piano for 12 years, numerous awards and trophies on regional level on made it to the provincial final of the Canadian Music Competition
I plan on sending in a CD
Peer Helpers
Instrumental Stage Band
Math Club Exec
Lots of stuff with Chinese Community (performances, organizing, youth exec)
some community service (60-80 hours?)
Honour Roll, 90+ average every year in HS
Some various math awards</p>

<p>Counselour rec is kinda just a laundry list, but it's really good (short)
Teacher Rec from Bio teacher is pretty good, mentions a lot of things
Teacher Rec from French teacher is AMAZING . . it's really personal and detailed
Essay is still being finalized, i guess it's sort of a cliche topic, but i think it's very personal and it shows what kind of person I am
Cornell Supplement essays are good, I love Cornell, and I think the essays show how i'm a match for the school
I'd like to major in Bio, probably pre-med</p>

<p>I really didn't care a lot about American universities till I visited some of the campuses and it just seems like I'll get a better education in a better atmosphere there. If i had known before, I would had taken my SATs earlier and applied ED.
Cornell is definitely my top choice . . I'm really considering not even submitting my apps for other universities, cause I just don't feel the connection as I do to Cornell. If i get rejected I'll probably go to a Canadian university, work my ass off and transfer.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance </p>

<p>MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!</p>
