<p>Hey Everyone,</p>

<p>I plan on probably applying early decision to Cornell Engineering for their materials science major or electrical engineering major. </p>

<p>My SAT super score is: 2050 (I am taking one more time in november)
Math - 660
Reading - 660
Writing - 730 </p>

<p>SATII:
Math II: 740
Lit: 630
Physics: Taking in October</p>

<p>AP (my school actually doesn't offer APs so I had to do most of the work alone):
Calc BC - 4
Calc AB subscore - 5</p>

<p>Work experience:
10 hours a week at my local bikeshop doing mechanics and sales
10 hours a week at Kumon which is a math and reading tutoring center</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars:
-Cycling - I race and cycled across the country in the summer of 2012, also cycled from new york to montreal in 2009
-Running - Varsity XC member from 2007-present -- captain from 2011-present (various decorations) also ran the vermont city marathon in the spring of 2012
-Music - play guitar and saxophone - have played in various payed gigs and benefit concerts for haiti
-Electrical engineering - started my own business that builds and sells guitar effect pedals, I also take home the school's music departments amplifiers to fix, dabble in a bunch of other stuff for fun
-Model Un - 2010-present -- won the honorable delegate award in 2012
-Standards committee - 2011-present a peer elected group of students who convene and talk about ways to improve the school and also have a hand in disciplining issues</p>

-Math peer tutor in my high school</p>

<p>Other notable things:
-I have a patent on file for an engineering idea I had for computer memory
-I am a social person and will hopefully be able to interview very well
-I am taking full and demanding coursework at my school some classes which include Quantum Physics and Special Relativity, and various music intensives
-I am taking an online MIT course in electrical engineering, and doing well so far</p>

<p>Let me know what you think! Thanks!</p>

<p>What is your GPA? Also you can rarely take standardized testing your senior year and submit it for an ED application.</p>

<p>My school does not give grades, thus no GPA. Instead my school gives written evaluations. </p>

<p>And yes you can do october and november testing and rush the scores to the college and they will get there in time for ED. I have talked to my college advisor and Cornell admissions about this.</p>

<p>swizzle how do you rush your scores in? and will you just put in your old scores on your application and say subject to change?</p>

5

<p>You just say you are taking a third test date, and then you send them in after you take them. So when it asks you the dates you took them I put the two dates in the spring and the date in November.</p>

<p>This is different for every college though. I think Amherst for example doesn’t accept November test dates.</p>

6

<p>And rushing your scores is something you tell the college board to do.</p>

7

<p>You shouldn’t need to rush October scores. According to collegeboard.com the 10/6 test scores are available and sent (as long as you select to have them sent) on 10/25. That should be in time for any 11/1 deadline.</p>

8

<p>Yes I would only rush November scores.</p>
