Cornell University: Do you think I will get accepted?

Right now I am a junior in high school, I have a 4.3 GPA, and I have all A’s besides one B that I got my freshman year in world history (I regret not taking that class more seriously at the time). I am in all honors class and an AP class (AP Lang.). I took honors all through high school and I going to be talking AP Lit and AP Stastics my Senior Year.

I have not participated in any extra curricular activities, being that I live so far from my high school, the only way I can get home is by bus, so I am unable to stay after school. Over the summer I plan to get a job and volunteer at the local hospital. Also, I plan to keep that job and volunteer at the hospital all through my senior year.

I took a practice SAT on collgeboard.com and I got a 610 in Math and a 510 in reading. I know that when I take the real test in a few months I will do a lot better, if not I will retake it.

Do you think I could get accepted into Cornell University?

Is there anyone out there who has been accepted?

I got accepted, here were my stats:

– 3.79 High School GPA (unweighted)

– Top 7% of Graduating Class

– Varsity Tennis

– About 5 or 6 extra-curricular activities

– 2nd Grade Tutor

– ACT: 32 (Top 1%)

– Eagle Scout

– Worked Part Time

I don’t know how much that helps, but I think in your case it will come down to your SAT score. That’s critical.

its possible! try getting into an extracurricular activity. if not, youll regret it in the long haul. try doing one sport like swimming, track, basketball, etc. also just do a club that only meets like once or twice a week, like debate, drama, or DECA. those look really good on college apps. those types of colleges, like Cornell, want really well-rounded students that are serious about their ed. and school.

and keep that GPA really high. aim for a 4.6 or higher. Harvard rejected thousands of 4.0s last year, so thats a lot of pressure. show that you really want to accepted. even if that means having to travel long distances.

Good luck and i hope this helped.
