<p>damn.. i can never get the format to work right.. btw i was just testing.. i'm a junior.. didn't even apply yet</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted to CALS</p>

<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT I: 2000 (Reading - 690, Math - 650, Writing - 660)
[</em>] SAT IIs: Molecular Biology - 760, Math 2 - 660, Literature - 680
[<em>] ACT: 33 (Reading - 36, English - 34, Science 32, Math - 30, English/Writing - 33, Writing - 10)
[</em>] GPA: 3.86 uw, 4.7 w
[<em>] Rank: 13/572
[</em>] Other stats: 5 on AP Biology Exam
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Essays: I thought my common app essay was strong - it dealt with my time in band, but was more emotional than subjective. No real plot, just moving words about what my experience has meant to me. I believe I sounded unique and human. My Cornell supplement essays - I thought they were average.
[</em>] Teacher Recs: From my AP Biology teacher and my Honors Pre-Calc/Honors Senior Capstone teacher. I thought a recommendation from a math teacher my neutralize a glaring, low grade in BC Calc. I read the Bio one before it was sent, and I thought it was very good. Note: I applied to animal science.
[<em>] Counselor Rec: Well, I don't trust my counselor much, but I read the rec and it was great.
[</em>] Hook (if any): Major involvement in band including leadership, drum major, section leader, 1st chair clarinet for 2 years, involvement in National Concert Band Festival and Midwest International Clinic, District Honor Band for 5 years, All-State Band, and superior ratings at Solo and Ensemble. Also a marine biology internship for 2 summers in which I collected behavioral/population research data on a whale watch boat as well as performed public education.
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[<em>] State or Country: Ohio
[</em>] School Type: Public (2 students in the last 2 years from my school currently attend Cornell)
[<em>] Ethnicity: White (don't think I put that on the application)
[</em>] Gender: Female
[<em>] Perceived Strengths/Weaknesses: Strengths ~ leadership, high grades, strong biology background, internship. Weaknesses ~ D- in BC Calculus (though I'm not sure they got my mid-year report before accepting me)
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: See strengths above. Not the strongest student, but overall a good picture. I think they got the sense that I am independent and self-motivated.
[/ul]Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:
Not sure if I will attend, but I am very excited to be accepted to an IVY!!!</p>
