Welcome to the Cornell 2009 Community

This is something new at CC - we've enjoyed the communities of hopefuls that developed within each college topic, and shared the joys and sorrows as the letters came out. We've decided to create a special space for those CC members who plan to attend Cornell in 2009. Hope you enjoy it, and good luck in the fall!

Cornell ag and tech is my first choice for early decision next year. I have a 3;97 and I have taken the most demanding courses availabe. My first round sats were Math 640 and verbal 650 and 680 writing. I am taking the SATS again on my birthday next week and hope to increase these scores. I have worked every summer at the NYS enviromental services 5 rivers program. I even did a fellowship there. EC's at school are spanish club and editor of the school newspaper before I was kicked off for plaguerizing an entertainment article. Since this incident, I have been blackballed by the NHS. and can not list either as an ec. I have had a couple of months of hell since.
I am really scared about this, Cornell is my only real selection since I want to be a vet and I just love the school. I don't really have any interest in a plan B college. Do I stand a chance? What advice can you give me about ecs. I feel awful about the newspaper and the NHS rejection. I wonder if this will jeopardise everything I have worked for. Will colleges find out , how could they? I am really looking for some words of truth that can guide me from here.

I'm in a Catholic private high school, and have been in it since I was in Kinder. I'm a junior and our entire class is of 29 students. I am not in the top 10% however, my current GPA is 3.8...most of my classes are AP, and my school curriculum stands out from other school curriculms' for its bilingual education/integration, student involvement. Ever since elementary school, each subject is advanced a year. I want to study marketing, communications, and natural resources and conservation, and music. Do I stand a chance in Cornell?

Yeah, I'd kind of like to know how I would do too. But it seems there's a long line to wait before being critiqued...

no one is on this board- go to the main cornell one.
