<p>Volunteering:
I have volunteered at senior citizens' homes and dances, park cleanups, festivals, PASC State conferences, March of Dimes, etc., but don't have any outstanding one place that I devoted my time to. Around 100 hours though</p>

I detail doctor's cars, work at a catering business, ref youth and adult ice hockey games, and waiter at a Mexican restaurant where no one speaks English haha.</p>

<p>I want to go into something dealing with International policy or political science.</p>

<p>Regardless, could someone please chance me and offer me advice on how I'd have any better chance of getting in. Thank you in advance and I'll chance you back!!!!</p>

<p>You have amazing extracurriculars and an amazing GPA. However, your SAT score is kind of on the Low side… I would suggest shining on those essays and definitely retaking the SAT… Study for it a lot</p>

<p>Decent chance </p>

<p>If you can get to a 2150 you will have a great shot at getting in</p>

<p>You have a very good shot at Cornell, especially since you’re applying ED. Hmm but i agree with dannymanny…maybe you want to retake the SATs?</p>

<p>Thanks guys for your input and I’m retaking them in October for hopefully a >2150 score. I just started a six week SAT prep regiment so that might bring it up around 100 points.</p>
