From Vancouver to Cornell (hopefully) plz tell me it ain't hopeless

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Here are some stats about my scholastic career so far :
-17 Years Old
-Bilingual Dogwood Diploma (HS Marks: Pretty bad but I had been living in a pretty abusive home so that had something to do with my marks)
-91% avg at Vancouver Community College (Physics 12, Chemistry 12, Math 12)
-2350 SAT (750 crit)
-Afro-Canadian
-First Gen Canadian - First on family to try to get into Post Secondary
-I believe I'm a capable of playing D1 basketball and email the coach at Cornell and he invited me to a camp this summer and asked me to send him some game tape.</p>

<p>Other than that I've got nothing, should I be applying as a transfer student since I'm at VCC right now or no? And do you have any pointers on some things I can do from now to next year to bolster my application?</p>

<p>Really have no idea about anything they're looking for so if it's impossible for me to get in by Mar.12 what are some things I can do to/join to give me a shot.
Any help appreciated</p>

<p>hey, you have a pretty good shot. Did the Cornell coach invites you to an open camp or invite-only camp for bball?</p>
