Hey everyone! Most of you are going to laugh when you see my stats. I know it´s a long shot, but I decided to apply. I´m a half European, half Asian female, and a U.S. citizen from the Midwest. Financial aid is a must.

Major: Communications

SAT: 1240
GPA: (unweighted) 3.6
(Cornell CALS doesn´t require SAT subject tests so I won´t put them here.)

ECs:
Theatre (9, 10, 11, 12)
Sports Car Club of America Autocross (11, 12)
Gay-Straight Alliance (11, 12)
Speech Team (11, 12)
Car Club (12)
National Honor Society (11, 12)
International Thespian Society (11, 12)

Common App Essay: I wrote about my struggle with depression from an early age and my experience in a psychiatric facility, and how that shaped my mindset to be a healthier person today. It was difficult for me to write, but when I had peer-editing done, they stated it was one of the best narratives they´d ever read.

Supplement Essay: I wrote about how writing has always been an effective emotional outlet for me and that is why I am drawn to the major I have selected.

Unusual Circumstances: I spent a decent amount of time in the psych ward which of course caused me to miss school, as well as coming down with mono which I am still dealing with. I explained this when I had my alumni ¨interview¨.

Hooks: First generation college student.
