<p>Hey guys. I’m looking to apply ED to Cornell’s CALS school’s AEM program. Here’re my stats.
Moved to a private boarding school in Wisconsin for my Junior year. Freshman and Sophomore classes were taken according to the British A Levels curriculum, and so I’m not going to post anything relating to them. Anyways, here goes…</p>
<p>GPA (Unweighted) - 3.95
My school doesn’t offer any AP classes, not because we don’t have a certain standard of academic rigor, but because it is too small a school. However, a lot of the classes are taught out of AP or college-level textbooks.</p>
<p>ACT - 32: 29,32,34,31 subscores. 10 in writing.</p>
<p>Not planning to take the SAT but I am taking subject tests in Bio E/M as well as Math Level 1. Hopefully 750+ on both.</p>
<p> Community builder: 11, two quarters
Community leader: 11, one quarter
Forensics:
Letter and Pin - 11
State Finalist (5th place) 4 Minute Speech - 11

<p>Sadly since the boarding school is in a super remote area I haven’t been able to work any jobs or work with any big time competitions. </p>
<p>Here’s a detailed breakdown of my volunteer/ministry hours:</p>
<p> Taking part in the Texas-Mexico border region mission trip and working with Proyecto Azteca.
Ministry at Broken Bread, a program that involves students helping with carrying and distributing foods to the needy
Angel Tree Ministry shopping and distributing Christmas gifts to children with parents in prison
Ministry at the Villa Loretta retirement center
Housing Rehab Ministry
Helping out with the annual Hilltopper cross country invite
Parking crew during Christmas Concert</p>
<p>I’m also co-captain of the forensics team, president of the international club, and vice-president of the business club. Adding to my business perspective, I’ve taken 5 semesters of general business, and 4 of both economics and accounting. </p>
<p>I’m think my essay is pretty awesome, at least when it comes to describing myself, not to boast or anything. My school-specific essay explains my involvement with academic economics and business, the business club, and my own venture I started while I was in 9th grade, made about two grand, and then decided to quit once I was leaving to the U.S. </p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your help. I’m also applying EA to Fordham, and RD to Rensselaer, Lehigh, and Emory.</p>
