UW GPA: 3.9
Weighted GPA (6 point scale): 5.4, which I believe would be a 4.7 on a 5 point scale (not sure)</p>

Havent done any others yet</p>

<p>APs:
AP Environmental (5)

<p>You have a great chance so far (I’d say a low reach?) Your extracurriculars really reflect your major; however, perhaps look for some other clubs to join if you want to be a bit more well-rounded. Nevertheless, your schedule is amazing! I am very impressed by the APs and college classes. I just hope you’re handling them well so far, and be sure to look for some opportunities in the summer before your senior year :slight_smile: Keep it up!</p>

<p>Cornell CALS- high match/low reach</p>

<p>URM+Great Stats+APs=IN</p>

<p>thanks, but what kind of awards should i be looking for? I have no talents outside of academics that I could pursue.</p>

<p>Since your future major is biology/animal science, try to do a science fair project on it and submit it to intel or win the state science fair.</p>

<p>I think you may also qualify for questbridge match.</p>

<p>But…
Science awards is probably the most important becuase of your future major.</p>

<p>Impressive high school transcript!! Your GPA and standardized test scores are just as impressive. Try and get involved in community based E.C’s or ones in which you demonstrate leadership while you still have time. It would be a mistake for Cornell not to admit you!</p>

<p>Chance me back

<p>You have obviously taken a lot of AP courses and have maintained a high gpa. Your SATs are also stellar. I would say that you have a very good chance to get in at Cornell. The only thing you should work on is trying to extend your ECs.
