<p>In High School I was an abysmal student, and got a 3.10 overall GPA. Even worse, I never took the SAT's, so I cannot submit them. However, after High School I did a complete 180 degree turn. After three semester at the number 3 JC in America, I have only gotten straight A's. I have held a job since Junior Year, play and record music, have volunteered for over a year at my local Humane Society, am part of the Astronomy club, and participate in non-competitive sports. With great essays do I stand a chance?</p>
<p>Also I am half Mexican.</p>
<p>where do you plan to apply,</p>
<p>The College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell.</p>
