<p>I got deferred from Penn’s M&T program, so I’m kinda scared now.</p>

PSAT: NMSQT</p>

<p>GPA: 104%, not on 4.0 scale. Rank: school doesn’t rank but in the top 1-2 percent of 300.</p>

<p>I have like 8 people competing against me in my class alone, though not for the same program.</p>

<p>ECs: Long history short: Varsity: XC, Vball, track. Our varisty XC team won the conference and I’m one of the top few runners.
Sports take up a lot of time, believe me.
Mu Alpha Theta, math team and cap’t of math team, physics club president, quiz bowl.
I’ve pretty much kept everthing throughout all my years at HS. </p>

<p>No work experience cause I can’t work here on my visa status…sux. Same stupid reason why they didn’t let me volunteer.</p>

<p>Others stuff:
Gov School for Sciences
Trilingual
legacy at cornell, great-grandpa (prob won’t help too much)</p>

<p>looks good.</p>

<p>Scores and rank look good. AEM is probalby Cornell’s most difficult program to get into, but you certainly seem qualified. I’d say with good essays and recs, you should get in no problem.</p>

<p>I hope my essays and recs are good. Their 250 word essays are pretty retrictive of both content and creativity.</p>

<p>I agree, but I circumveneted it by combining both of those essays into one collosal essay of about 700 words. That way I could better develop the idea and not have to use two separate ones…and I got in ED. I’m not saying its the right thing to do, but it certainly turned out ok for me…</p>
