I am currently going into my junior year of high school. I have a 4.0 GPA and got a 2100 on my SAT. I have the following EC’s:
Class president (10th)
NHS member (10th)
JV football (9th and 10th)
Wrestling team (9th and 10th
Outside of school:
Member of my church youth group
I am team captain for a cancer walk in my town
What else do I need to do to better my chances of getting into Cornell?
I am also in all the AP classes that my school offers. I am looking to major in mathematics and statistics in the school of arts and sciences.
What are you doing this summer and next that relates to math and statistics? Many successful applicants will have spent their summers taking college classes, working internships doing meaningful things that relate to and build on their interests. Your ECs are okay but not really exceptional
Okay thanks. I’ll try to find some summer programs
Retake your sat for a 2150-2200. 2200 would help a lot.
