Hi am currently a junior and want to apply ED to Cornell specifically the college of Agriculture and Life Sciences. I have a 4.0 in my sophmore year taking all honors classes. However, I am not sure of my freshman grades and was wondering if they would look more at my improvemnts in grades and would my ninth grade matter alot to my chances of admission. Currently in my junior year I am taking 3 APs (Art History, Biology and English Language) and am gettings As so far in all my classes. My schedule for my junior also consists of Drama,Honors US History, Yearbook, Math Analysis and Soccer. Also every year I have attended summer school for extra credits at my high school and at community colleges.

I also am involved in many extra curricular activities like Youth and Government with the YMCA, founder and president of the Animal Awareness Club, active member in the Outreach Club, and volunteering with animal sheleters and veterinarians. I am also been on the JV soccer team for 3 consistent years at my highschool and am on yearbook.

Also I haven't taken my SATs and SAT 2s yet but am planning on taking them in March.
I hope you can help me in the process of applying ED to Cornell and inform me of chances of getting in. Thanks.
