Hello,

I am a Junior this year and just wanted to get an idea of how I will fare with Cornell.

Ethnicity: INDIAN (How much will this affect me?)

Household Income: 200000

Texas resident, top 4.2% of my class (23/548)

Highest SAT I: (2nd time) 2050 (640 CR) (720 Writing) (690 Math)

ACT: 33 Composite (31 English) (35 Math) (33 Reading) (33 Science)

SAT II: Haven't taken any, do I need to?

3.9 Unweighted GPA

Taken 10 AP Classes

Taken 5 PAP Classes

Varsity Tennis (captain next year)

NHS, NTHS, STUCO

BPA (advanced to state for video production)

DECA (advanced to state for Entrepreneurship Innovation Plan, hoping to go to nationals)

An Independent study class where I'm under the mentorship of a business professional (He went to UT BHP so I know he can write a good rec letter)

Part of a marketing team for a local exterior painting company

Over 150 volunteer hours

Also, my ACT essay score hasn’t come out yet but I don’t think I did that well on it. Can someone tell me what I need on my essay to have a chance? Will the ACT essay be a big factor in admissions?

Thanks so much!
