Right now I'm a sophmore at East High School in buffalo ny
My dream college is Cornell
I really want to go there
last year i was in a boarding school in India my gpa was 3.5 or higher the whole year. I took lots of electives like kathak (indian dance) and gurbani.
9th boarding school
gpa- 3.5 or higher
electives- kathak, yoga, gurbani
10th east
so far i have an 86
i had 85's or higher in all my classes but i got a 65 in ap bio so that dropped my gpa
electives- yoga, karate
i'm also volunteering at my local animal shelter
right now im worried about the 65 in ap bio. I got put in the class by accident by my councelor.
I was wondering what i should do for the rest of my sophmore year and my junior and senior years to have a good chance of getting in to cornell?
thanks

It is still possible for you to get into Cornell -- but you have a lot of work ahead of you.
You need to do a lot better than an 85 average to get into Cornell. You need to raise your GPA to about 3.8 unweighted (over 4.0 weighted). You will also need high SAT scores (e.g., 2100/2400 or better) and you will need to write a killer admissions essay.

By the time you are a senior applying, you will have realized other choices. You are in 10th grade, so dont worry just yet!
