I think I said them above… Also, sent in my resume on resume paper instead of attaching it on Common App. With the resume, there was also a cover letter which expressed my interest of joining the Engineering program.</li>
</ul>
<p>Reflection</p>
<ul>
<li>Strengths: Good ECs for engineering, wanting to be a college professor in the future to help out, GPA, HS Transcript (courses), lots of love</li>
<li>Weaknesses: Essays? SAT score, SAT II (they’re okay, but not outstanding), bad Science score on ACT</li>
<li>Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Surprised. Maybe Guitar Hero Club got them? Haha. Don’t know.</li>
<li>Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: First thing to be accepted to. Applying to elsewhere has to come to a stop, doesn’t it?</li>
</ul>
<p>General Comments:
Wow. I am so happy and now can’t properly study for my Bio test tomorrow! Who cares (they might, but I’ll just spend all night studying if I can’t calm down now)! WEEEEEEE!!!
If you plan on applying to the college, make sure you have loads of ECs which match what you want to be. Err… I need to start making cookies or something for all of the adcoms. But I don’t know how to make em’!!!</p>
<p>Use my stats only as help into getting into Cornell. Do not think that if you don’t have the same grades as I do that you can’t make it. Just work harder, write better essays than I did, tell Cornell that you are right for them, and get lots of love from those around you.
Cornell rules, enough said.</p>
