Hi, right now I’m a junior high schooler at Hong Kong. I want to apply for Cornell’s CALS when I become a senior; more specifically, I am interested in nutritional sciences.

My grades are not bad; 3.8 GPA (I do IB, so this is self-calculated), 2180 SAT and taking SAT subjects soon. I have a few ECs which point towards the fact that I have a passion towards this area of study. However, in my opinion, these activities are superficial in knowledge at best. What do you suggest I do to show that I have a genuine interest? Currently looking for an internship is not working; nobody wants a high school school student working at a lab.
