<p>Work experience: summer- worked at a hospital and went to a summer program at Yale medical school where i did A LOT of research and stuff like that</p>
<p>Essays are really good esp. Cornell essays (had them analyzed by the best college counselor in the state) </p>
<p>I totally don't know what I'm doing wasting my time applying to cornell ED ughhhh...but both my parents went there so im hoping that will give me an edge hahah what do you guys think??</p>
<p>I don't think it is, i think he has a very good chance at getting in, especially if he is a recruited athlete, but he doesn't say that, and im surprised he wouldn't be since he is an all american, so it could be a joke, but i don't think it is...if this is real, you have very good chances</p>
<p>Sounds like you're good. You dont have that many ECs (or didnt put them down?) but thats ok. You're very dedicated to them and thats what counts. G'luck!</p>
<p>god heaven forbid you receive a 4 on an AP test!!! Wow you must have really messed up big time. Grow a spine or find some balls and stop worrying.</p>

Maybe they will reject you based on your terrible self-esteem, otherwise you're in.
