I’m a female high school senior. I’m very interested in AEM in Cornell University’s CALS program. I just visited the campus recently and fell in love with the school!

My SAT score is 2290 (1500). Critical reading 740, math 760, writing 790. My SAT II score in US History is 740. I plan to also take the Math I and Math II SAT II’s. (CALS doesn’t require the inclusion of SAT II however).

My class rank is 10 (top 5% of grade).

My unweighted GPA is 3.6 and my weighted GPA is 4.6. I have always taken the highest level of classes offered at my school (honors and AP’s, if available at my small public high school). All of my final grades this past year were either A+ or A.

I have taken AP US History, AP World History, AP English Language, and AP Physics B. This year (my senior year) I will be taking AP English Literature, AP Spanish Language, AP Calculus AB, and AP US Government.

My extracurriculars include the school musical, the drama club, chamber choir, concert choir, mixed chorus, community service club, DECA club, prom committee, homecoming float committee, and Alpha to Omega. I have not held any officer positions. I have also been involved in USY for four years and I volunteered at a geriactric center for a summer. I also took 6 precollege summer, spring, and winter art programs at FIT.

I am a member in the National Honor Society, the National Thespian Society, and the Spanish Language Honor Society (LOTE Honor Society).

I have worked as a youth league soccer referee for four years and I have twice been awarded the best female referee award (league-wide) by the soccer league.

Do I have a chance at Cornell regular admissions? Would I have a better chance if I apply early decision? Thanks!
