Prospective veterinary student's chances for Cornell

<p>For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be either a wildlife or exotic veterinarian. As a citizen of Seattle, I've been planning on going to WSU; especially since most of my relatively large family went here as well. </p>

<p>However, I've recently been looking into Cornell after a chat with my counselor. She thinks I should give it a shot. What do you think?</p>

<p>I'm not the best math student, averaging a 3.4 in my math subjects. Yet my projected GPA lies around a 3.8 out of 4.0. I could possibly bump that up. I've never gotten bellow a 98% in a science class. I'm currently taking IB HL Biology, IB HL History of the Americas, and a variety of Running Start classes. My college classes include Precalcus I and II, miscellaneous history classes, required PE, English, Statistics, and Astronomy. In 9th grade I took honors bio, 10th I took honors chemistry. Next year, I intend to take either AP or IB calculus, IB SL Marine Biology, and Spanish 3...</p>

<p>Be brutally honest and let me know what I can do better. My schedule was made for my WSU major, and had I thought about Cornell earlier, I would have gotten my IB Diploma.</p>

<p>Also, I can always try to transfer once I've packed on more science and math courses.</p>

<p>And as you must know, IB HL classes cover junior and senior years. So my bio and history will carry over.</p>

<p>As for extracurriculars: I’m a founder of a Writing Center that helps students get good grades on papers, I shadow a domestic veterinarien a couple of hours a week, and I work(teaching kids to swim) part time.</p>
