You’re only 14? :o so what grade are you currently in?

Well I don’t need any grades back because I was just accepted into Cornell (SHA 2019 Class) so I can help you.

I need to know which school or concentration (major) you intend on applying to for Cornell - that will be the biggest help.

You have nice EC’s but what is very important to Cornell is seeing that you’ve had an impact on your community for a long period of time - not just one year activities. You should also focus on EC’s that mirror your passions and your intended major.

Your SAT scores are pretty good… I wouldn’t even say it’s on the low side. I would suggest also trying the ACT to see which one better suits you and then focus on only one.

Essays are everytthhiiinnnggg… listen, my essay got me in - I know that as a fact. It was not my scores. Cornell wants to see more than pretty numbers on a sheet. You have to have personality, creativity and passion. They want to see intellect and true interest in their school.
