<p>GPA (3.4 Unweighted, 3.8 weighted) Low I know ;( but Upward trend</p>

<p>I have also taken several courses through Cornell University Summer College obtaining a College transcript GPA of 4.00</p>

<p>Their Debate professor there, Sam Nelson, really liked me, wrote one of my Letters of Recommendation, and said he would guarantee a spot on the debate team if I made it in.</p>

<p>I take a very competitive schedule, especially compared to my local peers, with my current year line up including AP Stat, AP Literature, AP Psych, AP Govt. and Politics, and AP Chem</p>

<p>I come from a relatively small town in Nebraska, and I'm just trying to make myself stand out. It may be worth mentioning I can pay for my college in full, no need for scholarships (although they are nice). I also may or may not be a legacy there seeing as I have a sister currently attending there as a junior.</p>

<p>Bump myself lol
Please help, I’m not a smart kid haha</p>

<p>Well, I am applying ED to ILR and CAS as well, and you have a way better shot than me</p>
