Really really wanted to go to Cornell, phft. Life sucks. Oh well. Stats:
School type: Large, good, suburban public school in New York
SAT I: 720V/780M/760W
SAT II: 780 Latin, 760 Bio M
AP USH 5, AP Calc 5, AP Lit 5, AP Bio 5
Not a legacy at any schools I applied to.
School doesn't rank, but I think in the top 5%, and definitely in the top 10.
ECs: Don't feel like listing them all, but I did a ton of EC's and volunteer work in science-related fields. Around 200 volunteer hours, I think.
In the end it came down to Yale with almost no money and Syracuse with a lot of money. I hope this pays off. |
