I want to get into Cornell, but I had some rough patches. However, I have shown upward trend, and am performing well in 4 AP's and 2 Honors. This is especially in AP Chemistry, and AP Physics C: Mechanics

My test scores are low so I was considering to apply test optional, will this hinder me?
Depends on how low. If they're out of range for the school you're applying to (I assume Cornell), then you're probably better off not sending them. I'd use our Chancing Engine (link in description) to get a better idea.
would you consider a tier 2 or tier 1 a high level extracurricular?
Tier 1 activities usually involve national-level recognition: like placing in a national math olympiad or winning a major award.
Tier 2 is more local and therefore more common. Think being president of a major club like, Model UN, or achieving recognition as a regional athlete.
Hope that helps!
@@CollegeVineI am studying one on one with a world renowned professor in math as extra math education because I finished my schools math in 10th grade. Would that be their one or two, or would I need to do research or something more
Is Cornell CALS test blind due this application season due to the pandemic? Can we expect them to be score free next year?
Hi I am an aspiring Class of 2028 who got deferred ED and they said test blind

@@CollegeVine Cambridge grades
@@NStudio247 Hi! There is no internationally recognized metric for converting Cambridge grades to American GPA. I would use class rank results instead, since colleges in the US are more likely to compare you to other UK students anyway.
If you do want an idea though, I found this chart from the Kentucky Department of education showing how they recommend schools convert Cambridge grades: education.ky.gov/educational/AL/Documents/Cambridge_Grade_Scale.pdf
Do you recommend submitting a 1420? I am a bit hesitant since it’s on the lower end of test scores.
i’m no college counselor but if your GPA is strong maybe go for it 🤷🏽♀️ My boyfriend got in with a 1420 so
That's close enough to the 25th percentile (1450) that you should probably send it
If my school only provides a weighted gpa will Cornell automatically lower my gpa?
They'd look at your unweighted GPA, which is probably a lower number, but that doesn't necessarily "lower" your GPA. Think of it more like converting inches to centimeters.
i really want to get into a college like this but my freshman year i was homeschooled (2020 during the pandemic). my mental health was really bad and i was unable to understand any of the prerecorded lessons and so my grades were below c's. then my sophomore year things got really bad, i had frequent trips to the hospital due to my mental health that had gotten worse since 2020 and i wanted to drop out. no one supported me in dropping out or letting me take a break with school so i practically gave up as i had no strength to continue on.
this year my mental health is still not very stable but im learning how to work around it and so far- last quarter all of my grades were a and b's only and my gpa was a 3.17/4.00.
im scared that colleges will look at my highschool years and see that i had not done well academically. my mother wanted to sign me up for a program that would help me with school due to my diagnosis (allow me less credits to graduate and scholarships, ect.) but she never did and now she will not take me seriously when i ask for help with school.
i really don't know what to do. i want to go somewhere like cornell because i feel like im getting better and im finding out more of who i am ect. i feel like i could work hard and do well. im just afraid that it won't be an option for me. how can i change that? what do colleges want and look for in a case like mine?
Don’t worry, I think that a lot of colleges examine applications holistically. Thankfully, if I’m not mistaken, Cornell is one of them. Just focus on taking advanced courses in your last years of high school while trying to keep your grades up, challenge yourself, write ferociously, get extracurriculars up, and you should be good. Be honest on your application, write creatively, and you’ll have a good chance of getting in. Keep in mind, a lot of these colleges look for ambition; consequently, this actually puts you at an advantage above other applicants if you had lower grades at one point and yet showed a high degree of ambission in order to rise above said grades. Best of luck on your journeys from a HS sophomore!
you can go to a community college for 1~2 years, and try to get a good grade, then transfer to Cornell. Please do NOT mention your mental conditions in your cornell application. Cornell has one of the highest su**ide rates and AO said they don't want it to grow higher. This will impact your chances.
