Hi,

I am currently finishing up my junior year of high school. I am very interested in going to Cornell University, specifically in CALS (College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) and studying Animal Science. I am also going to Cornell Summer College this summer for a program in veterinary medicine, if that’s helpful at all.

I have good grades (All As), extra-curriculars and some leadership involvements, and I’m working on my essay to ensure it is the best it can be. I have a 30 ACT composite right now and am taking the ACT again in 2 weeks. I’m shooting to improve at least 1 point for my composite, but hopefully I can improve more.

In the case that I don’t improve, how do you think my chances are for getting into more selective colleges and Cornell specifically? I know it is hard in any circumstance, but it is my dream to go there. If anyone has any additional advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
