<p>Hey there people,
How are you? I hope you are well.
I am posting this for some feedback. I have already sent in my application to Cornell Pre-Medical and I was hoping you could give some feed back.</p>

<p>I am on my gap year ( I have done the SAT/SAT II and doing the volunteering in the gap year)
My SAT (superscore) is not so great: 540 CR 670 M and 600 W with 10 in the essay.
My SAT subject tests are ok I guess: 740 Chem 730 Bio M and 690 M
My A Level Grades are Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics all A grades.
My GCE O level grades are 5 A* 3A and a B.
These are British systems and all have a top grade called A*.</p>

<p>My IELTS score ( similar to TOEFL) is over all 8.0 out of 9.0. I think this is equivalent to 114 on the Internet Based Test. </p>

<p>I acknowledge the fact that I am not the best candidate but I am just someone who hopes for getting in with a miracle.</p>

<p>My extra-curriculars include
Volunteering for special needs kids for 214 hours ( completed 72+15+55) this is still going on.
I am have volunteered as a room crew ( I had to communicate, help and try to solve problems of the guests and help my room manager, she had a very high opnion about me). The event was a literature festival and I volunteered for 32 hours for three days.
I have done a leadership program and I was the leader to give presentation and information on Drug addicts. That went quite well.
I am have included bathroom singing to add a little humor.
Applied as an assistant examiner for Cambridge International Examination.
I participate in a discussion called Scriptural Reasoning Online. This is a platform for interfaith discussions where we can politely and respectfully post our opinions on various verses.
Assistant teacher for 2 years ( hence applied for assistant examiner)
There are quite a few other activities I mentioned as well.</p>

<p>I battled through a lot of anxiety and depression because of my sexuality and religion and was completely thrown off-track during high-school. I still healing these days but its taking time. I am just trying my best.</p>

<p>I have applied to WCMC-Q so the sexuality issue was hidden but I have tried to write about my depression and anxiety and how I managed them.</p>

<p>If you are willing to read my essay I can PM that to you.</p>

<p>Hoping to hear from you guys soon.</p>
