<p>Since I intend on studying meteorology/atmospheric science in college, I have some additional job-related extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Job shadowed National Weather Service in Cleveland
Job shadowed WTOL News 11, Toledo
Penn State weather camp
3 semesters of meteorological research: “The Economic Impacts of Severe Weather”; “Weather and Its Impacts on American History”; 3rd title undecided
Worked with meteorologist Michael Schlesinger as a research mentor
Created my own TV studio and produced weekly weather broadcasts posted on YouTube and my website ([Broadcast</a> Meteorology - Home](<a href=“http://www.broadcastmeteorology.■■■■■■■■■■%5DBroadcast”>http://www.broadcastmeteorology.■■■■■■■■■■)); <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/user/Broadcastmet[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/user/Broadcastmet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Recommendations: Should be extremely strong. One was written my my debate coach, and the other by the teacher of the class where I researched meteorology.</p>

<p>Colleges I’m applying to:
Cornell
Penn State
Valparaiso University</p>

<p>I think I have a decent chance of admission, but I would appreciate some other opinions as well. Thank you!</p>

<p>Any opinions?</p>

3

<p>You really need to retake the SAT for Cornell, and for ED you need to take it tomorrow - those scores are on the low end. Other then that, the remainder of your stats look good.</p>

4

<p>You should try to take the ACT ASAP. You may score higher on that than the SAT.</p>

5

<p>Even with a lower SAT score, I think you should have a decent shot since it is one of the land grant schools.</p>

6

<p>Other than your SAT score, you look fine :slight_smile: Good luck!</p>
