<p>Ok, let's say i qualify for HEOP.</p>

<p>My stats are pretty low, to start things off, but i have a couple things that might alleviate that.</p>

<p>SAT scores: 1550! (no, not the 1600)...i know i know i know..extremely low but in my defense....ok i have no defense.</p>

<p>SAT II: Bio M: 570/610
SAT II: Math II: 560/600</p>

<p>Ok, G.P.A :3.5ish</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars is actually my strong point and i'm sure some are more 'relevant' than others...but which ones exactly?</p>

<p>Well, here they are.</p>

<p>Science and Technology Entry Program:10th 11th 12th</p>

<p>Extremely Selective: 85% avg. to even be considered.
3 recommendations, 1 interview and a weeding test.</p>

<p>Varsity Soccer: Another of my relevant ones, which i hope will be a deciding factor.
11th 12th</p>

<p>Student Council
Leadership Position: Senior Member
10th 11th 12th</p>

<p>The 'Challenge': "Jeopardy like gameshow"
Leadership Position: Team Captain
12th</p>

<p>Chess Club
Leadership Position: President
10th 11th 12th</p>

<p>Job Opportunities Program
Very Selective</p>

<p>Central Park Conservancy Intern</p>

<p>Well, i have a couple more but didn't add it on my application.(mistake,couldn't edit it after first submission)</p>

<p>Well, that's the gist of it.....how do you think I'll hold up?..(HEOP)</p>

<p>Also, should i submit an athletic supplement if i'm already submitting something about my mother's economical situation.

<p>hi i know this is not my thread
but what does it mean - in the ‘who is eligible’ requirements that
‘those who are inadmissible to cornell under regular admissions standards’???
can anyone explain this to me please???
much thanks!</p>

<p>haha…it’s ok</p>

<p>The Higher Education Opportunities Program, HEOP for short is a program for students who wish to attend Cornell (or any other school that offers the program, NY) but is either economically disadvantaged (poorer than the average joe)/ academically disadvantaged. I’m not sure what they mean by academically disadvantaged but since it has been proven ( I guess) that students with more money behind them have better resources and in turn, are academically advantaged, students with less money have lower chance of being …hmm…“inclined academically”. They’re proportional.</p>

<p>Who is Eligible (and all other things) can be seen here:<a href=“http://www.heop.org/guideline[/url]”>www.heop.org/guideline</a></p>

<p>It basically tells us the income range for what is considered “economically disadvantaged” and some other conditions as to how one might be able to qualify.</p>

<p>So those who apply and are accepted under the program are reviewed under different admissible standards and have a better chance at admission vs the regular applicant pool.</p>
