Cornell, UCF, and UF

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi- I'm a Mexican-American girl from rural Florida, and Cornell (ILR) is my number one choice. I'm also applying to the University of Central Florida and the University of Florida.
I'm a senior, and I'd appreciate your help!
My SAT is 2050 (730 CR, 620 M, 700 W.)
My GPA is 3.8 UW, 4.22 W.
I am in the top ten percent in my class. Just below the top five.
There are only three AP classes at my school; I took AP English Language and US History last year, and got 5s on each. I'm taking English Lit this year, as well as self-studying for AP Psychology.</p>

<p>When I graduate I will have 4 math credits, 7 English credits (AP Lang is two credits, and I took two honors English electives), 6 social studies, and 4 science credits. My recomendations from should be great, especially from my APUSH teacher.</p>

<p>My ECs are a little weak- I was in marching band for two years, before the program more or less fell apart. Last year I was an assistant editor of the first edition of the literary magazine, and this year I am the editor-in-chief. I'm also on the Academic Team, in NHS, and FBLA. I'm worried that not being consistently active in any particular club will hurt me.</p>

<p>Any help is appreciated!</p>

<p>You should bring up your math SAT and then work on an angle in your essays. There is a frequent poster on CC (gomestar) who is in ILR and knows the admissions process there so you should send him a private message.</p>

<p>Cornell (IRL) ED would give you a great shot! And remember, cost is not an issue at Cornell because they meet your need and if they don't you can deny their offer.</p>

<p>I think you should definetly apply to UF. You have a very good chance of getting in.</p>
