<p>I've applied ED at Cornell Engineering to do Chemical Engineering and I'm ****ing myself waiting for the results...as most of my fellow applicants proabably are.</p>
<p>What do you think of my chances?
SAT1 - M 720 V 610 CR 610 (1940) (3rd Attempt - 1st was 1530 and 2nd was 1750) Would this go against me? :(</p>
<p>SAT II - Maths 2 710 and Chem 690</p>
<p>I'm an International Applicant doing A-Levels. I'm predicted straight A's *highest grade possible) in Maths Physics and Chem. These are probably the hardest subjects/combination possible. Already got an A in Computing.</p>
<p>GCSE's - 4A*'s (Maths, ICT, Business Studies, French) 4A's (Drama, English Language, Double Science Award) 1B (English Lit)</p>
<p>Hook (If you can call it one) - I'm an Indian living in the gulf travelled to over 20 countries dealt with many different types of people. The largest multicultural school in the region etc...</p>
<p>EC's - Been a part of the Dubai Tennis Open for the last 4 years. First as a Ballkid, then a Ballkid Captain (in charge of 10 kids) and then a Ballkid Supervisor (in charge of all 150 kids). Played competitive tennis with a fair bit of success. School Prefect. Grade 7 liason (help they come into the new school etc) Duke of Edinburgh Award. Won the Best Young Enterprise company in our school. I was part of the sales team and our story got covered in many newspapers. We basically set up and ran our own company and donated the profits to the Gulf 4 Good Charity. Internship in the summer at Indian Tobacco Company (subsidary of British American Tobacco) Printing and Packaging Plant. I cocahed tennis to kids aged 6-10 in the community tennis courts for more than a year and a half. </p>
<p>My essays were decent. Really concentrated on why chemical engineering is the right field for me. </p>
<p>Recs were pretty good. Additional Rec from the guy who ran the Dubai Tennis Open.</p>
<p>Main thing is how is being an International Student going to affect my chances?</p>
<p>Also, a couple of days ago (6th evening my time) I got an e-mail from an admissions guy saying that they only had the transcript for my current year. The way my school does their transcript is to put it all on one page. I immediately called the guy to tell him but he was really condescending, cocky and annoying so I got my counselro to call him up and sort it out the next day morning. I got this reply from the admission guy on the 8th morning :
We will use the transcript as submitted. Thanks for your attention to this matter.</p>
