So I’ve taken ACTs and my composite does not reflect my ability to perform as a student (I know this sounds contradictory considering these tests are supposed to take into account knowledge). I have gotten 34’s on individual sections, but not as an overall. So I am wondering, with a 26-28 ACT composite (but 34 on english and reading), is it possible to receive admission to Cornell’s CALS. I’m aware that it is a extremely LOW, but if there is any ounce I could get in, I would want to know from hearing others stories.
I have recs from my boss over the summer and two teachers who know me well and here are some of my EC’s:
Varsity Badminton 4+
Competitive-Recreational Tennis 8+
Petsitting 2+
Animal Volunteer Work 2+
Business Club participant - design apparel 2+
Co-head of astronomy club 2+
Member of Social Justice Club 1-
Environmental Internship 1
Member of Environmental Club 1
Backstage Techie 2+
^ I might have forgotten some activities, I’m tired
+I took two credit classes at Harvard and NYU in summers 2017 and 2016 respectively, where i have received credits in writing and economics
GPA: My school doesn’t hand out GPA nor do they give class rankings (idk y), but if I were to estimate - 3.5+
I also want to add that I have been struggling with an anxiety disorder, for which I was finally prescribed medication to appease some of the effects. This has hindered my academic performance in many ways, which shines through on testing and such
