<p>Yeah, I'm currently looking at Cornell Days and other colleges' visiting times. (I'm trying to plan out when I can go and schedule all this stuff out )</p>
<p>Ah! I want to know my NM results!</p>
<p>My friend currently goes to Cornell, and she is a chemistry major. If you choose Cornell, you'll have a fabulous time</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply!</p>
<p>Cornell: Safe Match</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply! By the way, have any of you guys heard of thinkenvelope.com? it determines your the % you would get in. I hear it's pretty accurate, but you never know.</p>
<p>Honestly, at this point does it really matter? :) GL, again</p>
<p>Hahah, at this point, no ;) I just wanted to write one of these threads since this is my last chance to get the "collegeconfidential" experience.</p>
<p>the site thinkenvelope.com doesn't work. u sure u got the right site tchaikovsky?</p>
<p>Sorry, typo. It's thickenvelope.com :)</p>
<p>Here is an update that I sent to all my colleges:
-National Merit Finalist
- My science bowl team made regionals (so far) for the National Science Bowl Competition
- One of my music pieces was announced to be premiered Dresden 2006 - Sound, City, Silence composition competition (for piano trio).
- I was accepted to attend the Third International Workshop for Young Composers (rolling acceptance)
- Third prize for International de Composition pour Orchestre d'Harmonie (performance in June)
Hopefully it will help? :)</p>
<p>man, you come from a family with brains. Cornell: safe match. definitely.</p>
<p>hey, tchaikovsky, how long have you been playing the piano? can you recommend me some pieces?</p>
<p>Sorry if it was a little confusing, but I don't play piano--only oboe and violin. (those competitions are for pieces I composed; other members play my pieces). But I still love piano music :). It really depends on your ability, but if you're pretty advanced I would definetly recommend Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 (check screen name hahha) or Prokofiev's Piano Concerto Nol. 3. Those are my favorite piano pieces :).</p>
<p>Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1.... </p>
<p>YOU COMPOSE PIECES? are they on sale?:D</p>
<p>Haha, no :-/ , but they should be ;)</p>
<p>Cornell is a great school, and I think you have an excellent chance getting accepted.</p>
<p>Thanks yale08...I really tried to convey how well I could take advantage of Cornell's opportunities. Hopefully that helps.</p>
<p>Oh, and you do not have a 4.54 UCGPA. That's actually impossible, lol.</p>
<p>UC GPA only counts 8 semesters of AP/H classes.</p>
<p>(((6+7)<em>2)</em>4+8)/26 = 4.3</p>
<p>Second Year:
AP Calculus BC
AP Chemistry
AP French Literature
Modern Poetry / James Joyce
US History
Microbiology
Sculpture II</p>
<p>Third Year:
AP English Language
AP US History
AP French Language
AP Biology
Advanced Physics I/II
Macroeconomics / Microeconomics</p>
<p>I don't get why it's so hard for people to just know about UC GPA.</p>
<p>Sorry about that ;). I don't know that much about the UC system.</p>
<p>Like that matters. You really don't need to worry about the UC's, unless you actually want to go there. (I'm assuming they're your safeties).</p>
