After looking through lots of great schools, I’ve applied early decision to Cornell . I would love to get into ILR or their Agricultural Sciences program. This is what I’m currently working with

SAT- 2320 in a single setting (750 Reading, 790 Math, 780 Writing), 2350 if super scored
SAT II- 760-Bio E, 770- Math 2, 750- U.S History 730- Bio M
ACT- 35 Composite (36 English, 35 Math, 34 Reading, 36 Science)
AP- 5’s- US History, Language and Composition, World History
4’s- Biology, Calc AB
3’s- Calc BC (not reporting)
PSAT- 221

GPA (3.4 Unweighted, 3.8 weighted) Low I know ;(

I have also taken several courses through Cornell University Summer College obtaining a College transcript GPA of 4.00

Their Debate professor there, Sam Nelson, really liked me, wrote one of my Letters of Recommendation.

I take a very competitive schedule, especially compared to my local peers, with my current year line up including AP Stat, AP Literature, AP Psych, AP Govt. and Politics, and AP Chem

I come from a relatively small town in Nebraska, and I’m just trying to make myself stand out. It may be worth mentioning I can pay for my college in full, no need for scholarships (although they are nice). I also may or may not be a legacy there seeing as I have a sister currently attending there as a junior.
