<p>High School:
2A = VERY SMALL!!... umm... no more than 350 ppl in school </p>
<p>Yes... I did take the PSAT, but our counselor (whom is at lunch from 8:00a.m. to 3:30 p.m.), has not given us our scores back... not only this, but we, as juniors, do NOT know either our rankings or GPA's... Don't you just love her ;)... well, the only score i can give is the ACT Explore... took it in 6th grade and got a 17..</p>
<p>yup.. it's sad to say, but I have been trying to take the hardest classes my school has to offer, and I cannot do any better than with what I have... I notice other ppl posting european history, german, etc... But with my school being as little as it is, we aren't given those courses... that's why i chose to take college classes with UTPA... taking Political Science... my first B! since 6th grade.. and Music Appreciation.. prob. gonna get an A...;)... but i'm tryin'</p>
<p>You're on target, I would assume you rank at the top of your class but it would be nice to know for sure. Keep prepping for the ACT, try to shoot for a 30+ and you'll be golden. Retake twice if you have to. </p>
<p>Which college at Cornell do you intend to apply to? There are 7...Do you plan on doing Early Decision?</p>
<p>i got in with four ap's, a 1410, and decent ec's. my school's wicked tiny, too, and apparently we don't rank "as a policy" (my guidance counselor is just as awesome as yours sounds). seriously, you seem like a really good student, so getting a good score on the act shouldn't be that hard. they understand if your school doesn't offer many ap's (mine only offers like 6 by the time you graduate). get decent recs, write a good essay and i think you'll def get in. don't stress!=)</p>
