I’m an international student - in my gap year. Planning for Computer Science at Cornell Engineering.

SAT - 2310
Subject Tests - Taking Math, Phy and Chem in November.

GPA: (percentage - we’re not awarded GPA)

9th grade - 81% (class rank - 2 out of 83 students)
10th grade - 78% (#5 out of 84 students)
11th grade - 84%
12th grade - 60% (despite the slip, I was still in the top 10% of my class)

EC’s:
Lots at the inter and intra-school level (debates, public speaking, quizzes, essay writing (in English and French), school newsletter editor, captain of my football team,) - we did not have clubs and societies in school, and opportunities for pursuing EC’s were few. Very academic oriented school.

As part of my gap year activities, I’m volunteering at our local Red Cross branch, and also pursuing a short computer related course as pre-college preparation.

Recommendations - very positive…

Financial Aid - Required.

And I plan to apply under ED. What are my chances like??

Thanks.
