<p>I got an SAT score of 2120 my first try (740CR/690W/680M) and did 150 points worse my second try.
SAT II- 780 Bio E, 760 Physics, 680 Math 1 (retaking as math II)
I'm self-studying 3-4 AP's my senior year, (AP Lit, Bio, Chem and Calc BC)
My school doesn't use ranks, but if I had to guess I would say 3/4th out of 140, school doesn't use GPA, but about 3.8 would be accurate.
References: pretty good, approaching stellar.
As for EC's, I'm president of Student Council, Founder and Editor for the school newspaper, did quiz bowl all four years of high school and captained it 3 out of those 4, I did soccer for two summers, worked in my school's chem lab and volunteered at a summer reading program for a summer (66 hours).Three years of symphonic band as 2nd chair trombone, 1 year as 1st chair euphonium, 3 years of 2nd trombone in jazz, lead trombone this year.
Ethnicity: Nigerian-American ( immigrant)
Hook: I did every two years of grade school on average in a different country, I lived in a small town during high school, so I didn't have very many opportunities for research and other EC's(I'm taking all the EC's offered and only three people at my school take AP's, the other two are only taking AP lit.) I skipped three years of elem and am now an HS Senior at 14 (I couldn't participate in very many varsity sports because of this).</p>
<p>I'm an american citizen but live in Canada if that influences anything</p>
<p>So yeah, a chance for Cornell would be great</p>
