<p>Accelerated/fast-tracked in chemistry from yr 10 to yr 11.</p>

<p>Top 5% of class.</p>

<p>ACT- 30</p>

<p>Taken a varied and tough group of subjects.</p>

<p>Won numerous medals in table tennis (2) singles and doubles (2).</p>

<p>Played inter-school cricket, soccer and basketball.</p>

<p>Been a member of Science Club (before it was shut down).</p>

<p>Member of Environmental Water-testing group- Recorded and tested water-quality of local creeks and provided statistical information to council.</p>

<p>Achieved numerous awards.</p>

<p>30 is about average for Cornell I think...I think that although you seem to have a lot of involvement, they might think you lack leadershio b/c you don't hold any concreate leadership positions.<br>
I would say you have as good a shot as anyone, as I guess none of us really know anyway. Isn't it harder for international students than US students to get in, though?</p>

<p>yea it's much harder for international students...but if you are an extroadinary international student you have a really good shot at getting in</p>
