I am a high school Senior and i am going to be applying early acceptance to cornell. my freshman year my brother had cancer and i had a 2.0 GPA, my sophomore year i took 8 classes and had a 3.8 GPA. i played varsity tennis and i won best math, history, science, and english student, as well as a tri-county biology presentation contest, and i got to meet a local state rep. I also began a “hit” comedy show on my schools bulletin which i recieved much teacher/student praise for (ive been doing it ever since). my Junior year i got a 3.85 gpa unweighted and a 4.3 weighted, and became a safe school ambassador (a bullying-preventing student) as well as a volunteer at an AIDS food bank and a trained teen-clinic volunteer. i ran varsity cross country and did another year of varsity tennis. I won most fluent spanish student, best history student, and best physics student. that summer i went on a humanitarian mission to africa with a close friend and it was amazing, i also took spanish 3 and pre-calc over summer. now my senior year i am the student body president and have a 4.5 GPA, and am still doing all of the things mentioned above. by the way i should mention i go to a backwoods school on the west coast, am white, and am fairly poor. its not like im in poverty, im just not rich by any standard. what are my chances for early acceptance to cornell if i want to be a communications major and a theatre minor? i have an SAT of 2120 and got mostly 4s and 5s on my APs
