I’m a junior in high school trying to get into Cornell and I would just like to know your opinion of my chances. I am thinking of applying EARLY DECISION.

Standardized testing:
SAT: 2250
Math: 780
Reading: 720
Writing: 750
SAT Subject Tests: (Probably Retaking)
Math II: 700
Chemistry: 760

Academics:
A’s range all the time. Nothing Below a 95. During my Junior Year I am enrolled in 4 AP classes:
Calculus BC
US History
English
Chemistry

I am easily in the top 10 of my grade. Next Year I will be taking 6 more AP classes.

Extra Cirriculars:
Math Team (going to be all 4 years next year): Varsity Captain
Indoor Track (going to be all 4 years next year): Varsity Captain
Outdoor Track (going to be all 4 years next year): Varsity Captain
Student Government/Student Council (going to be all 4 years next year): Treasurer
Member of National Honors Society and Spanish Society
I also have over 250 hours of community service, most from mentoring little children and dong stuff around my school.

I also did some international stuff like raise money for this mosque back in my home country and I also started an organization there to keep up my project in my abscence (this was done over a summer). I also helped a hospital in this country and started a fundraiser program for that too.

Also I am from Sri Lanka so I think the minority thing will help.

I don’t know if it helps but I also am multilingual and play guitar.

I also did a few clubs throughout the years but the ones above are my main ones that I stuck with all four years.

Let me know my chances of getting in. Thanks.
