I go to a academically rigorous private high school, which doesn’t offer AP courses (all courses are advanced though, and this is done because my high school doesn’t like to teach students for a test). I have a 3.7 weighted GPA, and have never gotten a grade lower than a B. My school doesn’t rank, but I am in the first quartile for GPAs. I got a 2020 superscore (CR 650, M 670, W 700) on the SAT, and my highest individual score was a 1980 (CR 650, M 670, W 660). I started out with a 1720 on the SAT and brought my score up. I have solid extra curriculars (Head of IT club, varsity golf and softball, school admissions host, leader of 13 students during summer tech job all four years, student tech teacher and church community service). I have learning differences. I want to major in communications at Cornell (school: CALS) and my dad is am alum who still donates every year. I doubt I will get in, but it is my first choice and I’ve wanted to go there since I was 11. I couldn’t apply ED because my scores were awful. I am positive I will have good recs.
