Colleges & Universities Cornell University
1

<p>City: Memphis, TN
GPA: 4.0 unweighted
ACT: 33 composite (would have had a 35 if I had I not bombed the science section)
SAT II’s: Haven’t taken them yet, (will take them in November)
Class Rank: 8 in a class of 500
Rigor of schedule: I will graduate with 4 AP classes and 5 honors classes (schedule rigor= my main weakness)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: I don’t have a large amount of extracurriculars, but I am an advanced classical pianist and have been playing for about 10 years now. I practice about two hours a day and have won several competitions. I also have performed two concerts with professional orchestras accompanying me?
I have also co-founded an investment club at my school senior year and am currently a “co-chairman.”</p>

<p>So, what are my chances for Cornell early decision for CAS (given my teacher recs/essays are average)? I want to go to Cornell SO BADLY!!</p>
