Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I'm a first generation female to go to college in my family. Cornell has always been my dream since I was a child and I am a rising senior in my high school and have applied under early decision and have an interview this Saturday with an alumni. I would like to know my chances. I would appreciate it greatly.
I have a 3.8 GPA.
Act: 26</p>

<p>Varsity swimmer for 4 years
Varsity water polo for 2 years. Culinary team member for three years.<br>
Culinary captain my senior year, as we advance to nationals.
Culinary competition winners 2nd and 4th in state the past two years.
I participated in the Duke TIP program.
I was an alumni for NYLF. Where i spent a week in DC meeting legislators and congressmen. Also I was nominated for Governors Honors Program, GLobal Youth Leadership Conference in China, and National Youth Leadership Forum for Medical students at Emory University. All are academic programs to further your knowledge and challenge yourself further than your normal high school curriculum.
I started a branch of Heart for Africa at my school and I have been the president for two years.
I am also Vice president of Model UNited Nations where we compete in conferences at UGA and Georgia Tech.
I'm a member of Beta club, Latin honors society, and the technical honors society.
I am also the member of the Latin club.
I have been volunteering as a medical football assistant for 3 years for our high school football team and have studied and learned under the team doctor/physical therapist. </p>

<p>I am an AP scholar and have taken the maximum amount of AP classes that my school allows. I will have finished with 10 AP courses and an average of 4/5s on all of them. My senior schedule is a full schedule with 5 APs, continuing culinary so I can compete at nationals this year, and continuing my 3rd year of Latin. </p>

<p>My AP classes consist of:
AP Human Geography
AP Language
AP World History
AP United States History
AP Literature and Competition
AP Biology
AP Macro Economics
AP Micro Economics
AP Government
AP Psychology </p>

<p>I am also on a research group for student website development for the HEFG. It is an organization that is in charge of all culinary and hospitality academic changes in Georgia and the south east region.</p>

<p>I have almost 1,000 hours of community service, and will have over a 1,000 by the end of my senior year.
I have doubled the amount of sciences and language/English requirements that are required by my high school and recommended by Cornell.
I also have a couple of recommendation options which consist of my chef mentor who has watched my passion grow for the sciences as we will move onto nationals this year, a teacher which has been with me for 4 years, and a couple more that I think will help show my passion for sciences and my focus and determination to be the best at what I want to do. Your recommendation on my chances would be greatly appreciated and I will chance you back!</p>

<p>I think your GPA and ACT scores are a bit low. But otherwise, you have amazing extracurriculars and class rigor.
You probably have about a 60% chance of getting into Cornell depending on your essay and letters of rec. If you have time, you should probably retake the ACT.</p>

<p>Please everyone chance me!</p>

4

<p>Your ACT will hurt you a lot, but I think you have a pretty good chance otherwise. It can go either way; good luck!</p>

5

<p>Come on everybody! Please chance!!! Will chance back:)</p>

6

<p>Well, I have to disagree with your gpa being low. Your ACT isn’t low by standard college standards, but “low” for Ivy league standards. I would retake that if you have time.</p>

<p>What are you SAT scores?</p>

7

<p>I think you have a decent shot. It seems like you worked hard in high school. Did u take the SAT? </p>

<p>Please chance back!</p>

8

<p>I agree, your ACT is a little low(below their mid 50). If you can, I’d try to sign up for the dec SAT – I found it much easier. Otherwise, your app sounds pretty solid, but get excited about some other school too just not to be disappointed by whatever the results are. Good luck!</p>

<p>Please chance back!</p>

ornell.</p>

<p>I am not being a complete idiot but thanks for the rude comment. My news feed on my phone versus my Internet didnt show I had any replies. So thanks for nothing. Yes I’ve taken the SAT. 2130. And three subject tests: Biology: molecular, US history, and literature. They all were around 600. </p>

<p>Try to be a little less aggressive. Thanks.</p>

<p>How did you get an interview with an alumni? I thought they didn’t do those…</p>

13

<p>I got a call after I sent in my application and within a week I had an interview with an alumni from their class of 72’ and it went really well. Almost perfect.</p>

<p>That’s weird I thought they didn’t do that but good for you!</p>
