Please Chance Me, I Need the Advice!

<p>I took the SAT twice and didn't do that much better the second time.</p>

<p>1) 720 M, 620 R, 700 W
2) 710 M, 630 R, 730 W</p>

<p>I have a 95.36 unweighted GPA which includes all honors and 3 APs from this year (will take 5 more next year). Our school is very competitive and has a good relationship with many good schools, including Cornell. 4 out of 4 students were accepted from last year's class. </p>

<p>SAT 2
Bio- 720
Math II- 710
US History- 710</p>

<p>Notable APs:
English Language and Writing: 4</p>

<p>ECs:
Friendship Circle- I am one of ten buddies that spends two hours with a teenager with special needs and we do activities with them. This happens about twice a month in my school.

Basketball- varsity team
Soccer- varsity team and club team

Work- I've worked in a day camp this summer and last summer
Leadership:
- captain of chess team
- president of pre med society
- head of my division in camp
- I was handpicked by a group of teachers to act as an advocate/mentor to the 8th graders of a middle school and talk to them about the high school experience. We discussed with them how to cope with the difficulties and stress of high school and acted as a guide on how to make the most of their experiences.</p>

<p>I know the SATs are low and I plan on taking it again in October. However, as of now, what are my chances of getting into Cornell ED? One of my recommendations will be from the head of the school science department and the other from my guidance counselor. If I write a very good essay, what do you think my chances are? And if there is anything you think I should know or you have any advice, let me know!</p>

<p>Have you tried the ACT? If you haven’t, I’d say try that instead. </p>

<p>And as of now, I’d say you still have some chance of getting in, but I wouldn’t say most definitely.</p>

<p>Thanks but I’m not sure if I’ll have enough time to prepare at this point to get a significantly better score. I’ll consider it though.</p>
