<p>First off, great GPA! You obviously have challenged yourself with some APs, but you do have fewer APs than what most people have on CC ... but keep in mind everyone here on CC is an overachiever and has no life. Your SATs are good as well, but your Critical Reading seems to be quite weak. If you feel that the 650 misrepresents you (say if you had a cold that day or there was this really annoying and obnoxious kid who kept knocking his fist against the table), you should definitely retake the test. Your SAT Subjects are excellent, and you won't have to spend any more money on College Board for this section. Your ECs are very interesting!!! I like how you've done Bowling and Ping Pong in high school. Most people these days tend to be highly formulaic - you know, the typical sport (soccer, track/cross country, tennis) + some ECs (Key Club, Quiz Bowl) + some music (orchestra / band). Admission officers will see this as unique, so that's very good for you! Good job on your part. You have decent volunteering experience, and your honors/awards are good. If you don't do as well on the essay, it'll be okay, since you weren't born in the US. </p>
<p>Cornell is a very good school. Everything about it is great ... the campus, the food, etc. The only thing that isn't so great is its accessibility ... make sure you can get there. For example, air plane tickets from my home city to Ithaca is $1000 round trip. The tuition is high enough, but transportation costs make your situation more ... yuck. But then again, you live in NJ, so it'll depend on how far it is away from your place. </p>
<p>Anywho, you're a good student and you seem to have taken advantage of what HS had to offer to some extent. </p>
<p>Chances:
Cornell AEM: Match (Just get the CR up!)</p>
