[<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.
