<p>Hey guys, I'm currently a Sophomore and I was wondering if it would be feasible for me to consider Cornell. I've done extremely well in High School and only got 1 B in one semester of Spanish 2, which I took during middle school. Give your general and quick opinions if I should begin to look into Cornell. </p>
<p>**Btw I was just wondering if that one middle school B will affect Cornell in the slightest or do they just recalculate my GPA?</p>

<p>Looks great. You seem to be doing everything possible to be an excellent cadidate. You didn’t mention ECs/volunteer hours/awards won. These can boost your application even further. You’re on the right track though!</p>
<p>Your stats are very similar to mine back in high school. I think you have a good shot if you keep it up with not just scores but ECs too - and if you have no anti-hook.</p>
<p>Alright well you wanted to see EC"s so here we go</p>

<p>Overrepresented minority, such as white, asian, etc. similarly, URM is underrepresented minority such as black, hispanic, native american, etc. Also what college do you plan on applying to in Cornell, if you have one in mind? And are you male or female? (For engineering, being female is a distinct plus)</p>
<p>With your grades and EC’s, I think you will have a very good chance of getting in, especially if you apply ED. Of course, 2 years from now, admissions will be more competitive than it is now though.</p>
<p>Well I was born here and my parents have lived here all their lives, but sadly I am a male asian (of Pakistani descent). I’m quite surprised that I have such a good shot at it but hopefully I can keep it up. Any specific things Cornell looks for that I should start prepping myself for? Oh and I was thinking about doing Bioengineering or Biology as a premed major</p>
<p>Btw The sat is overinflated, or doesn’t reflect my average because I got extremely lucky on that test. My average is closer to 750 Reading,740 Math, 670 writing</p>
<p>cortana - white isn’t ORM. It isn’t a minority.</p>
<p>Anyways, i think you classify as an orm, and your choice of major might make it harder for you. I still think you have a good shot - just keep up the good work! Just know in advance that premed here isn’t the easiest track in college. Also, I really suggest against bioengineering as a major here for premed - the workload and pressure may be too much, even given the ability you have shown so far. As a premed you need to do well in all your courses and cornell is rather liberal at giving work. Premed courses are also notorious for their difficulty/pointlessness - they’re just something to survive through.</p>
<p>Haha thanks but sadly it wasn’t truly real. A testing company was providing a mock 4 hour exam on a previous SAT from collegeboard. I really wish it had been real . But my course load doesn’t look very hard haha, only 3 of them look like they’d give me some trouble (Lang, Calc, Chem). Hopefully I’ll be seeing you at Cornell in 2.5 years as a freshman haha</p>
