Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a junior in high school and I was wondering if I would be a good candidate for Cornell University :)
Here's everything so far!
Oh and my school has a 4.5 GPA Scale</p>

<p>(All classes are taken to highest level offered except for honors world sophomore year)
As you can see I'm stronger in the math and sciences... I want to major in biochemical engineering or biophysics. </p>

<p>SAT: Haven't taken them yet. My friend got a 2240 so I'm hoping to beat him :P</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Future Business Leaders of America - Treasurer. I am also in a business competition with 2 other guys and we made it onto regionals. Probably going to make it to states. (Member all years. Got treasurer position this year)
English Honor Society - Member (11-12)
German Honor Society - Member and Tutor (10-12)
Job at Kumon - Tutor
Engineering Internship this summer! :)
Habitat for Humanity - Member (9-12). I've traveled around the state to build different projects.
JV Tennis (9-10 so far. Either I'll be captain this year or I'll make varsity)
I volunteer at my local YMCA for leadership opportunities
Model UN - Member (11-12)
I've been playing the piccolo since middle school but never joined band - I didn't have enough time in my schedule.</p>

<p>Recommendations:
My AP English teacher this year - I've heard from many people that she writes and excellent recommendations. In one of my pieces for that class I revealed a lot of emotional stuff. She talked to me after class about how it was such a strong and moving piece.
Idk for any other recommendations. I've always been the best in every math class I've had but I don't think my math teachers are very competent with writing.</p>

<p>Essay:
I don't really know yet. Maybe something about how depression runs in my family. But overall, I'm a very good writer. I've earned myself a spot in English honors society and wrote a winning speech that got me treasurer of FBLA.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!!</p>

<p>:(</p>

10

<p>Anyone?</p>

11

<p>?</p>

12

<p>As you can see I’m pretty desperate and worried haha</p>

13

<p>Science majors are really hot now. When do you take physics? I don’t really understand how you could want to be a biophysics major if you haven’t taken physics. Also, are you taking a subject test for bio?</p>

14

<p>I took physics freshman year (look back at my transcript). I’m planning to go back next year and take AP Physics C. And yes, I am taking the subject test for bio. I know, I know, my subject test and AP score for chem wasn’t all that great and I learned my lesson for not doing any prep. @vortex275‌ </p>

15

<p>Bump</p>

16

<p>@MikeJuhuoski what was the sat score that you got by taking practice tests.</p>

17

<p>You took physics freshman year? That’s impressive.</p>

18

<p>@bored1997 210</p>

19

<p>@vortex275 They force us to take physics freshman year, then chem, then bio</p>

20

<p>I’ve never heard of something like that. I thought that all high schools start with the easiest and then get harder.</p>
