Chances transferring to Cornell? GWU?

<p>Hi,
I am currently @ American University in DC but they don't have a traditional English major, so I am curious if anyone could comment on whether I should try applying to George Washington University (I was wait-listed there before) or Cornell. I am nervous of course because my freshman gpa took a hit from a math course I did poorly in, (though I did well in all other courses.) </p>

<p>My Verbal SAT was 800, Math 670. I'm involved in several ECs nothing too exceptional, except the premedical program and corresponding coursework.</p>

<p>Can anyone comment on if it is more competitive to apply as a transfer student to these schools than as a freshmen, or what kind of stats are neccessary (ie. college gpa, ect.) ??
Thanks</p>
