I already ED’ed into the IS major in CALS for Cornell. I am very nervous and want to know my estimated chances beforehand.
Academic standing: My previous cumulative GPA from my old school (weighted) was, unfortunately, a 94.7, but I have shown a large positive upwards trend in GPA (weighted GPA in junior year was 97.2).
For my senior year, I transferred to a good school in New York (Does this increase my chances?), which is ranked one of the top 100 public high schools in the US. Current GPA for this school: 3.83(UW), 4.1(W).
I am an Asian male.

I know my GPA is pretty weak, but if they see an upward trend and a decent SAT score, will they accept me?
