Hello all,
I’m a current senior and an international student (although I live in and attend a US high school), and Cornell is a good school for me regarding financial aid and their high percentage of international students. I am planning to apply early decision.
GPA: 92 UW 96 W
ACT: 35 (35E, 34M, 36R, 36S)
SAT: Math II - 710, Bio M - 740
ECs:
JROTC - Drill Team Commander & Company Commander (leadership positions)
Science Research (Silver medal + scholarship to USNA summer camp, gold medal @ County science fair)
JV Tennis
Volunteered at Liberty Science Center
Volunteered at Jersey City Medical Center
My extra curricular activities are a short list, but JROTC alone takes 10+ hours a week during the school year and summer, so hopefully they’ll look at quality not quantity. All my extra curricular activities take a lot of time and commitment.
APs: APUSH - 4, AP World - 4, AP Chemistry - 4, AP Physics 1 - 4, AP Biology - 5
Taking AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, AP Lit and AP Lang in the upcoming year.
I’m interested in majoring in Biological Sciences, which means I would apply to either CAS or CALS. My subject tests aren’t great, so I might apply to CALS.
