<p>And I think this can stand out the most in my EC that I went to rural Chinese countryside with Red Cross or this volunteer organization with college students. We basically lived there, and worked with those farmers, and helped their school (or can you even call it a school), I taught them English, and correct Chinese pronunciation, and gave lectures on the poverty and how to change it by education. We stayed there for months, and it was life changing experience. I got bad fever for the first week there, because I was not used to the water and food. And it was shocking that we had to walk near a mile to get the water. And we stayed, and worked as educators and I think we brought many challenging ideas to solve the poverty rather than just breads to feed them. After that, now I want to be major in premed, and hope someday I can go back there again with some real benefit, that is why I am looking at the med school, Emory.</p>

<p>Emory looks good, with that passion, i think you'll get in. </p>

<p>=) </p>

<p>No idea about Cornell; but my friend got in, he has slightly lower SAT scores but slightly higher GPA and got in (after being waitlisted).</p>

<p>No fear, though. I think you have a decent shot at both.</p>

<p>Don't listen to those over achieving Ivy addicts, you can get in almost anywhere (cept maybe MIT haha) if you put your soul and heart into the apps.</p>

<p>oh..and Emory takes Superscore..so pick out the best of all your sections, and thats your SAT score for Emory.</p>
