<p>I'm at around the top 15% of my class. </p>

<p>AP Classes:
AP Bio
AP Spanish
AP US History-5

I was recognized by my school for being an exemplary student in 9th-11th grade.</p>

<p>I also went to an Overnight Visit through RCS at Cornell and attended a few science classes if that means anything.</p>

<p>Your scores are pretty weak but you are taking challenging courses and while your extracurricular are nothing special, your an African American so you have a decent shot if you apply ED. Make sure to apply to some backup schools because cornell is definitely a reach.</p>
