<p>Hi, everyone! I'm a junior in a public high school, and Cornell is my dream school!!</p>

<p>I have been in California since 2008 (sophomore year), English is not perfect, but the speed in learning English is fast.</p>

<p>Not many AP&Honor so far:
AP U.S (B)
AP Calculus AB&BC (A)
AP Chinese (A) =..=
Honor Chemistry (A)</p>

<p>don't know the score of exams yet.</p>

<p>Next year (Hopefully):
AP Physics (A)
AP Chemistry (A)
AP Statistics (A)
AP Government &Honor Economy (A)</p>

<p>SAT: 2000-2150
SAT II Math 2: 780+.
SAT II Chemistry: 750+</p>

<p>EC:
1. Red Cross
2. Immigrant Student Outreach Council (president, founder, and did a lot of contributions for immigrant students across the city)
3. several performances
4. bunches of engineering summer programs (not at famous campuses though)</p>

<p>Compare to other applicants, i feel i am so small....but are there any possibilities??</p>

<p>Appreciate!!!</p>

<p>You haven’t really posted enough information–all of your scores are estimates, I don’t know your class rank or GPA.</p>

<p>yeah, you are right. Actually those estimated scores are from the practice SAT (Official guide), and I think they are reachable for me. I rank on 17/500 (unweighted), and 77/500 (weighted). My weighted ranking is bad because my English level was low at first and can’t take any honor or AP classes until junior year. </p>

<p>Thank you very much!</p>

<p>If you get your predicted scores and your school is competitive (e.g. gets a fair number of people into Ivies), you certainly have a shot. Your essays/recs will make a big difference as well.</p>
