Cornell Engineering as a High School Junior

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>As I said in the title- I am a junior in HS applying to Cornell engineering (I called them and got confirmation that I am allowed to do this). I was hoping that someone could chance me</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
4.34 weighted gpa (our school doesn't tell us unweighted)
36 ACT (36 on all sections besides 35 on science, 12 on writing)
800 Biology Sat 2- E
790 Math Level 2 Sat 2
5 on AP world and bio exams</p>

<p>Course load:
freshman year: Biology H, Geometry H, Global history H, English H, Spanish R, Drawing and Design for Production, Concert Band
sophomore year: AP world, AP bio, chem h, alg.2/trig h, spanish H, english H, Concert Band
Junior year: AP physics C (MECH and E&M), AP Stats, AP Calc BC, AP US history, Concert Band, IB english Year 1
taking at local community college: Economics, American History and Government</p>

<p>Extra curriculars:
-Varsity Swimming freshman and sophomore years
-Varsity Crew Sophomore and Junior years
-Drummer for school jazz band
-Drum major for school marching band
-percussionist for local non-profit concert band
-NJ science league participant
-takes classes in the Columbia Science Honors program
-AMC 10 school winner
-Outstanding achievement on the National Log Contest
-NY state math league qualifier
-working on science research project about the biodegradation of copolymers of lactic acid and terepthalic acid for an entry in Intel next year
-Acted in the school production of "the odd couple- female version." (played jesus costazuela)</p>

<p>last summer i went to the cornell university summer college program and took calculus 2 for engineers (A+) and chemistry 2070 (A)</p>

<p>Have you applied or is this hypothetical for the future? Or just a wild stab? When engineering wannabes want to skip a year of hs, it’s more than just exhausting the hs classes offered. They are often expected to have the right hs collaborative/competitive experiences in math-sci, started to garner a variety of superlative outside experiences and show the maturity to hit the college ground running. (The expectation can be college classes that go further in physics and math, not humanities. You did Cornell’s summer school or a program for high schoolers?) Not enough can come through in a short chance-me with bullet points. the answer depends on your app, incl LoRs.</p>

<p>I have already applied, and I am 16 years old. The summer college was open to high school students and college students alike, there were both undergraduates and high school kids in the classes. They count as legitimate classes on the undergrad’s cornell transcript</p>
