Cornell Chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I know it's probably annoying to post this, but I was just wondering if i could get an idea from people who know the school a little better than i do.</p>

<p>I'm a current high school senior:
GPA: 3.9
SAT: math: 800 crit reading: 700 writing: 700
SAT II: biology M: 750 (taking 3 more in october, undecided as to which.)
ACT: 33 (re-taking just to see, now that I'm more familiar with the test)
AP: World History: 4 Biology: 5 English Lang&Comp: 3 Chemistry: 4 US History: 5</p>

<p>freshman schedule: honors english, AP world history, honors geometry, honors earth science, orchestra, french 2.
sophomore schedule: honors english, honors US history 1, honors algebra 2/trigonometry, AP Bio, orchestra, french 3 conversational.
junior schedule: AP english language, AP US History, honors precalc, AP Chem, photography, french 4 honors, independent science research study.
senior schedule: AP english lit, AP Calc, AP Physics B, Honors/College Credit Organic Biochem, Science research, French 5 AP, orchestra</p>

<p>My research is in the field of genetics. I'm currently studying the breeding habits of zebrafish, and as soon as I can access the technology, I'm going to be testing different ways of transgenic manipulation with different bioluminscent genes from fireflies and jellyfish. No guarantee that I will make much progress, but its an ongoing study. My teacher has connections at a few universities so I will (hopefully) be able to access a microinjector soon.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Cross country - varsity 9,10,11,12
Track and field - 9,10,12
Indoor track - 10
Mock Trial - varsity lawyer MVP 11, 12
Marching Band

Science NHS - 11,12
French NHS - 10,11,12 - officer

Youth Group</p>

<p>I have a summer job at a local waterpark. I worked in the Human Resources office as an assitant, and as a Cabana Attendant (aka waitress)</p>

<p>I will most likely be applying RD. I'd like to apply ED but my parents would rather me have a better chance to compare financial apckages and such things, which I totally understand.</p>

<p>Also, if there are any other college (specifically in the northeast/midatlantic region) that would be a good fit for my credentials, let me know! i'm trying to add to my list.
Any comments on the following universities would be great too:
Lehigh
Stevens Institute of Tech
College of William and Mary</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>At all the other institutions on your list, your chance of admissions is extremely high! As for Cornell, I think your essays will be the deciding factor. Make sure they’re outstanding. If so, I’m confident you’ll be admitted. But if they’re lackluster, I’m afraid your ECs and test scores will not push you over the edge! Best of luck :)</p>

<p>Seriously. Bump=Bring Up My Post. You don’t need to post 5 separate posts within TWO HOURS. People will read it when they want to. Believe it or not, people have lives outside of your college applications.</p>

<p>Depends on which school at Cornell. CAS is a reach, but other schools are more likely.</p>
