<p>ACCEPTED!!...engineering...i'm in the 1:28 group :-D...post stats later lol</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted, Engineering</p>
<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>] Deferred EA?: nope

[<em>] ACT: 35 composite (35 E, M, R 36 S)
[</em>] SAT II: 780 Math II, 760 Bio E
[<em>] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): Sent the weighted, 5.33/5
[</em>] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): top 10% is all my school releases
[<em>] AP (place score in parenthesis): Psych (5), Bio (5), US History (4)
[</em>] IB (place score in parenthesis): no IB here
[<em>] Senior Year Course Load: Hon. Physics, AP Chem, AP Calc BC, English, AP French, AP Econ Micro/Macro
[</em>] Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Presidential Scholars nominee?
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): FIRST Robotics (electronics captain, head of PR), Mathletes (3-year captain), Scholastic Bowl, Debate (assistant captain), WYSE
[</em>] Job/Work Experience: Have held a part-time job since I was 16, same one for 1.5 years
[<em>] Volunteer/Community service: Mentor FLL kids at a middle school
[</em>] Summer Activities: Mostly lounging, attended a SWE camp
[<em>] Essays: I liked them, other people did too
[</em>] Teacher Recommendation: Great, both know me very well
[<em>] Counselor Rec: Great, she knows me well
[</em>] Additional Rec: didn't send one
[<em>] Interview: didn't have one
[/ul]Other[ul]
[</em>] State: Illinois
[<em>] School Type: public
[</em>] Ethnicity: Painfully white
[<em>] Gender: Female
[</em>] Income Bracket: Middle-class
[<em>] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): none that I'm aware of
[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[</em>] Strengths: I have a passion for learning that my teachers addressed and that was a big focus of my application. I am heavily interested in math and science and I wrote about some of my small engineering projects that I've taken on in my spare time.
[<em>] Weaknesses: I don't really care about grades, which can be seen in my transcript. My GPA is high for my year, but mostly because I took all honors classes.
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I was actually extremely surprised when I received a likely letter from Cornell - I thought Cornell was going to be quite a reach for sure. I think that I'm a good match for the community in my personality and overall zeal for learning, and I think that my involvement in Robotics set me apart from the rest of the applicants.
[/ul]General Comments: Unfortunately, I probably won't go to Cornell because I'm having difficulty booking a flight to visit - I was also admitted to MIT, which I think is a better match for me in terms of interests and personality, so I will probably matriculate there. Good luck to all of the other applicants!</p>
