@all: thanks for your encouragement guys it means a lot.

@GFG/varska: Yes my training was very minimal for cross country however I have been an athlete my entire life and my coach keeps telling me that I have so much potential and that if I improve college coaches will look at me because I would be considered “a diamond in the rough” who has solid times but also has the ability to keep improving and not plateau out.

@riverrunner: Yes! I would like to be admitted to the CALS portion of Cornell so I can study animal science. Besides intense training I am doing a college prep course for my essays and common apps and also studying for my retake of the ACT. The big thing that will hopefully show my interest is that this summer I am going to be a vet intern at a great vet hospital, studying under the head doctor of the whole clinic. So my question would be: should I contact a teach or someone from the department and what should I say. Will that help my chances/ do they even remember who emails them? Because if it helps, then I am willing to try!
