<p>dont list those AP scores in your application</p>

<p>I agree with 'foxdie!'.
For your next APs... take only those for which you are prepared. It's a waste of money and time if you don't managed to get at least a 4 on them. Not to mention that it will look as if you are not serious about your studies.
If you decide to work really hard I think you could do some great stuff!</p>

<p>i think you should try to focus on taking more honors courses rather than APs...especially since cornell barely takes any AP credits. stop killing yourself with that ridiculously hard schedule</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance if you up the SAT verbal. Also, your AP scores show that your school is not rigorous. A valedictorian with 3's and 2's on AP tests is pretty incongrous. You may want to try ED. Also, you have to apply to a one of Cornell's schools. So you better choose soon what you want to do.</p>

<p>Your 800 in Korean won't really help you unless you aren't Korean. Your APs are a real problem. They will see that you took the AP courses and it'll make them wonder why you would choose not to report them. My advise would be to only take a few APs this year. I'd rather do well on a few (and earn credit) than to take all of them and do poorly (and not earn credit).</p>

<p>i think you have a good shot. A much better shot than I had, and I got in.</p>
