<p>The who's who, national honor role, and national youth leadershp forum are essentially money-making scams that show little to nothing very good about you. Putting them on your app will make you appear na</p>

<p>You sound pretty qualified. I wouldn't worry about your extracurriculars not reflecting a strong interest in bio-- Cornell does understand that high school students are still developing their interests, and that there aren't always opportunities to do research or whatever as a high school student. Also, I imagine that your grades reflect an interest in biology, and the Biology & Society major is very different than straight biology anyway. There's a very strong emphasis on the ethical and social issues surrounding science.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity though, why Human Ecology? I'm only asking because I noticed that you are a Maryland resident, not a New York resident.</p>
<p>i figured it was easier to get into than all the other schools....is human ecology better for new york residents since it is part of SUNY right?</p>
<p>Human Ecology gives preference to New York residents. If you aren't from New York, I'm not sure if it is still really easier to get into than Arts and Sciences. Maybe slightly, I'm really just not sure. </p>
<p>If you get into Human Ecology though, some students have figured out tricks for declaring state residency after a year, so you could probably find a way to pay in-state tuition for 3 years. I probably would have done that instead of Arts and Sciences if I knew that it was possible.</p>
<p>You mentioned only your ACT score, not any SAT or SAT Subject Test scores.</p>
<p>You don't need to submit an SAT score to Cornell; ACT with writing is fine. But you do need to submit SAT Subject Test scores -- math and one other are required for Hum Ec, math and science are recommended for CALS, and any two are required for CAS. So if you haven't taken the SAT Subject Tests, it would be a good idea to sign up for the first test date in the fall (especially if you're considering ED).</p>
