On Track for Cornell?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am a rising senior and was wondering if I'm on the right track for being admitted to Cornell.</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT I: 750R/780M/690W
SAT II: Took Chem and Math II in June (think high for Math II, above average Chem)
Rank: 7/200
GPA: 5.1
ECs: Golf, Track, NHS, Basketball (Fresh and Soph)
Next Year Schedule: AP Calc; AT OHIO UNIVERSITY Phys 201, Hist 121 (Classical Age), Eng 202 (Critical Approaches to Poetry), I'll probably throw one more class in at the High School, just not sure what yet</p>

<p>Want to be admitted into College of Engineering</p>

<p>Any imput would be appreciated! Thanks!</p>

<p>yes. (just graduated from cornell)</p>

<p>but then again, how the heck did you get gpa of 5.1? A+ in AP class counts as 5.5 or something?</p>

<p>I have a 5.1 because my school does weighted GPA strangely. There are 3 scales, 4.0 scale for comp/basic, 5.0 for honors, and 6.0 for AP. I have gotten straight A's but some of the classes have had to be comp because of graduation requirements, and APs don't start until sophmore year (junior year in math), so I have taken ALMOST all avaliable AP's at my school (Took Honors Spanish IV, Honors Bio other than that all AP's) and gotten all A's.</p>

<p>just keep in mind that your 5.1 will not actually be a '5.1' to colleges. They will recalculate your GPA so for others to give you a more accurate assessment on your chances, you should recalculate your GPA, with 5.0 for honors/APs.</p>

<p>Completely unweighted (everything on a 4.0 scale) I have a 3.99</p>

<p>Yes, you're a strong candidate for Cornell.</p>
