<p>propz to me for being teh only white guy to post =)</p>
<p>here's something different. </p>
<p>i go to a tiny public school in suburban upstate new york. it's competitive and not diverse at all (8% nonwhite. not even joking). oh yea i'm an african female. both of my parents were born in africa. i applied early to arts and sciences. BUT i'm scared now because 4 other people applied early. well they applied early to 1-Eng and 3-AEM. haha no one in my school ever goes to cornell. last year 5 people were accepted and they all went somewhere else. i'm pretty sure cornell hates my school but whatever. everyone thinks they'll reject 2, defer 2 and accept 1 of the EDers. or maybe just defer/reject us all. and then regular there's gonna be like 25 people who use cornell as a safety and about 5 will get in and none of them will go. hopefully i'll be the first to actually go to cornell from my school since 1999. =)</p>
<p>Hey, I decided to finally emerge from the hordes of lurkers that probably watch this site...</p>
<p>Unlike ylhs102, I really AM from Kentucky!</p>
<p>I'm a white male Senior at duPont Manual High School in Louisville, Kentucky. Yes, we have schools in Kentucky, and no, I don't rise to school on horseback... Manual is a nationally renowned public high school, but not because we have money or anything. We just have a reputation in athletics and academics that attracts the best students from around the Louisville area and allows us to shine in the national spotlight. </p>
<p>I applied Early Decision to Cornell's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, with the goal of majoring in Atmospheric Science. Weather is kind of a passion of mine; I'm a SKYWARN operator and I storm chase for the local National Weather Service office, and even help them forecast from time to time or man stations during severe weather events.</p>
<p>Aside from that, I play Quiz Bowl, and I played at the NAQT HS National Championships and PACE last year, and I hope to make the College Bowl team at Cornell. I also play the violin and the guitar (as a matter of fact, I'm late to a rehearsal for a concert where the Louisville Youth Symphony Orchestra, of which I'm the ACM, will be accompanying the virtuoso pianist Kit Armstrong), and I intend on pursuing music in college... anyone care to start an Epic Rock band with me? :)</p>
<p>Asian female, Vancouver, Canada~~ Yeah, the 2nd most "livable" city in the world~ Rich school district, prestigious program and lots of competition. People in my school show up with sunglasses and LV bags in winter~~ Wierd... ANywayz, huge asian population I say around 80%.. but that only makes competition more ruthless. Love debating, swimming, Chinese calligraphy, Korean drama, ~playing pool (haha I am pretty good at it) just staring at the stars, history, pageant and just hanging out with friends~ Also love Sex and City, Law and Order and ... tons more. Applying for ED CALS~</p>
<p>Wow, my excited, highly enthuiastic peers, good luck to ya all.</p>
<p>Black female..I live in a midsize city outside of Albany, NY. I go to a large poor urban school district where most of the students go to community college. The city in which I live in considered to be the worst place to live in the county. However, it is the most ethnically and culturally diverse school in miles. I believe that I have an advantage over many of my neighboring peers because of my constant interaction with different cultural groups. I really am really involved with community service that involves public policy, event planning and organization. I am captain of my tennis team and I am involved in ski club and other school activites. I really love working with and being around other people; talking with them and exchanging ideas. I love a good challange and problem solving. I am in not a highly exceptional student but I am a very good student and I work hard. I would like to go to Cornell because it has the most unique program out of all the other colleges that I have visited (ILR) and because of the oportunites that I will have and the fact that I would enjoy every class that I take. I do not know if I will get in ED but I really hope that I do!</p>
