[li] Why you think you were accepted: I submitted at 2:56[/li][/ul]</p>
<p>Decision: Rejected - CAS</p>
<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>] Deferred EA? no
[</em>] SAT I (breakdown): Math 740 CR 760 W 760 w/ 12 essay = 1500/2260
[<em>] ACT: none
[</em>] SAT II: 770 US 760 Lit 660 Fr w/ Listening
[<em>] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): basically a 4.0 if you take 90-100 = A, my county uses 94-100
[</em>] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): unknown, probably top 1 or 2 percent out of 850
[<em>] AP (place score in parenthesis): World History (5), US History (5), English Language (5), Psychology (5)
[</em>] IB (place score in parenthesis):
[<em>] Senior Year Course Load: French 5, geosystems, world religions, current affairs, AP English Lit, AP US Govt, AP Comparative Govt, AP Calc AB, AP Euro Hist -- All A's on midyear report
[</em>] Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): none of that stuff. more school stuff and some good Girl Scout awards.
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): this is where I'm weak. Girl Scouts (10yrs), Model UN, crapload of church work and volunteering, honor societies, some political volunteering, some tutoring, JSA Summer School (no, I did not do this to resume boost...it was fun), self-taught piano
[</em>] Job/Work Experience: just babysitting
[<em>] Volunteer/Community service: a lot... I don't count hours. I think it's sort of against the point.
[</em>] Summer Activities: babysitting jobs, JSA summer school @ Georgetown in US Foreign Policy
[<em>] Essays: I can definitely write quite well. Since I got rejected, I don't know.
[</em>] Teacher Recommendation: AP Lang teacher -- should have rocked, AP Calc and Precalc teacher -- maybe not as good, but would hopefully balance out the fact that my only B+s were math
[<em>] Counselor Rec: probably sucked. my counselor is a failure.
[</em>] Interview: was not offered one
[/ul]Other[ul]
[<em>] State (if domestic applicant): VA
[</em>] Country (if international applicant):
[<em>] School Type: huge public (3200+) in Northern VA. Alright school, but overcrowded + a bit of a bad rep for sending the VTech shooter out into the world
[</em>] Ethnicity: white
[<em>] Gender: female
[</em>] Income Bracket: 200,000+
[<em>] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): none
[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[</em>] Strengths: stats
[<em>] Weaknesses: ECs
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: ECs, I guess. Lack of sports. I don't know. My school sends 3 or so people to Cornell each year and this year we have no one that I know of, yet we're the biggest graduating class ever (850 people). The stats of the previous students were far lower than mine. I'm kind of depressed, really. I'll probably try transferring somewhere in a year, but I doubt it will be Cornell.
