I am on the executive board of the Student Government
I have attended Pennsylvania Governor's School of International Studies (a very competetive program by which I spent 5 weeks at the University of Pittsburgh studying International Affairs at the college level, only 1/8 applicants got in)
I am enrolled in an internship for international studies
I tutor African Refugees
I have taught poverty stricken children in India(for 1 week, came to about 50 hrs)
I have protested against poaching with the same organization
I have 48 hours of service at a library
I was the founder of a school band in India
I played guitar for a local band and we got pretty popular regionally
I am in Model UN
I am in French Club
I am in Drama Club
I have been in Poetry Club
I am an actor in school plays
I am generally a more artsy person, but am going in for International Affairs
I am on the Highest Honor Roll
I am part of the National Honors Society
I am in the top 5% class
My hobbies include horseriding, snowboarding, guitar, piano etc
I have studied abroad in high school (India)
I also plan on trying to start the Young Democrats League at my school
Some hobbies include snowboarding, horseriding, piano, guitar, art
The thing I feel that could hurt me is I took all my AP's in my senior year, so I dont have any AP scores yet, but I will have that explained, because I studied abroad, when I came to America, I had to take certain required classes before I could take AP, so I couldnt take AP's before this. Also, currently, I have A's in all my AP's
I plan on applying for a major in International Affairs</p>
<p>Cornell offers many many majors but does not have a major in Int'l Affairs - you would major in Government and possibly create your own independent major.</p>
<p>You look like a strong candidate to me. GL</p>
