<p>Hi again. I am not familiar with Weill Cornell (in fact the come off as dicks on the US site) but I’d imagine that a Qatar based school must make some allowance for English not being your first language. In fact their web site seems to anticipate it:
“Cornell University recognizes that international students of the highest caliber may not have achieved the requisite language skills by the end of their secondary studies. Such students are advised to enroll in an appropriate intensive English language program.”</p>
<p>I think you did well to get a 10 on the essay and a 600W on W. I think you should focus your efforts on math, where a mid to low 7xx should be possible with the decent amount of study time you have in front of you. I think that would be your best presentation- good SAT M reenforced by your A levels and your CR score mitigated by English being a second language for you. </p>
<p>I think the bigger picture is when are you going to give yourself permission to be happy? You come off as depressed and hopeless- even your screen name is ‘sad’. Even being admitted to your first choice college is just a ticket to a lot of work and pressure for 6 more years. And when you are done with that what is it about being a doctor that you think will make you happy?</p>
<p>You may want to take a little time to reverse engineer your goals. You are beating yourself up about not running fast enough but are you pointed in the right direction?</p>
