But I did to a ton of stuff in my high school career and hopefully CALS will see that. </p>

<p>what's your gpa? that might help us out. Overall, though, it looks good... good luck :)</p>

<p>nvm, just saw your GPA. what is it unweighted? It's low, but don't give up cuz of it... your other stats are nice.</p>

<p>Don't apply ED unless you're absolutely sure you want to go to Cornell. You might regret it later when you start wondering about what other places you could've gotten into. Your stats are competitive enough to get you in Regular Decision.</p>

<p>GPA issues are minor. If everything else you've written is true (writing an article, building a studio, and most importantly - proven dedication to the ag sciences......your application is more than competitive. You've got a very good shot at it. Most students who post at CC are f-a-r too GPA centered. Admissions officers like to get a sense of the whole person - what makes them unique - what they'd add to the institution. You're in good shape.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
