Thank you guys for the tips. I’ve been focusing lately (kind of obsessing actually lol) about my essay. I’m struggling to write it but I feel like I will get there, eventually. I have to… I realize that. Because my standardized tests are quite frankly not the greatest, I know I would have to write the best essay of my life to get into Cornell. I plan on taking the ACT again in September and I’m trying to buckle down and study as much as I can so I can get my current 27 to the highest possible score. As for the SAT IIs, I’m thinking I will maybe do some sort of combination between English, Math 1, and Spanish tests because those are the ones I’d realistically do the best at as I’ve taken full courses that cover what would be on them.

As for when I apply, I’m currently debating whether to do ED or RD to Cornell. Even though ED gives a higher chance, I think I’m going to base my decision on what my ACT score is after the September test date. If it’s not as high as I’d like I might wait for RD. I really want to apply ED to Kenyon, and I think I have a shot there as I’m local and have talked privately with a couple professors and set up some things for a club I started at my school. But I also love the idea of going to Cornell although it’s a HIGH reach, so it’s a hard decision

Thanks again for the help, and I’ll appreciate any more tips you might have in regards to the essay, or the SAT IIs/ ACT
