<p>I'm going to be a sophomore at USC looking to transfer to Cornell and am wondering what my chances are or if you have any advice to improve my chances. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>HS GPA: 3.96
USC GPA: 3.96</p>

<p>SAT Writing: 740
SAT Math: 670
SAT Reading: 790</p>

<p>SAT II Math I: 620
SAT II Literature: 710
SAT II US History: 720</p>

<p>National Hispanic Scholar PSAT/NMSQT</p>

<p>Freshman courses included a 300 level history course and a 400 level senior seminar in history as well as a 300 level orchestral conducting class. (I'm a cello major at USC, hence the conducting.)</p>

<p>i am not an expert
"Hispanic" + a GPA like that would probably get you in to Cornell</p>

<p>hmm... it all depends on what school you'll want to apply to. I have to admit your stats are solid. but if you want to be an engineer or a hotelie, it won't impress them that you took a 300 level orchestral conducting class if you haven't taken calculus for engineering and accounting for hotel. However, if you have a reason to transfer and you are able to vocalize it in your essay, you should be fine.</p>

<p>Nah, I'll be a music major.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
