<p>Im applying to Cornell for sophomore standing (yeah, I know.)</p>
<p>The thing is, I completely bombed high school and now im sure I'll kill my first semester here at my current college.</p>
<p>HS stats:
-GPA: 3.0
-SATs: 1810(not sure if I have to send them in)</p>
<p>College classes:
-Intro to MacroEcon
-Intro to Polsci
-Eng Rhet 201(highest possible english placement)
-Quantative thinking
-Pre-calc? I know, weird.</p>
<p>College GPA: 3.75+ hopefully...
Essays: Im an international and I have an amazing essay in line... <em>wink</em>
Recs: I already know the head of the Econ Department and hes prepared to monitor me very well.
ECs: Interned for a bank for 2 and a half weeks. Corporate Finance (credit office)... was the only <30 year-old in the office (No other interns). And some high school stuff (MUN, Co-founder of a newspaper, soccer team)</p>
<p>Assuming I do manage that GPA, how are my chances looking???</p>
<p>Major: CAS Econ (does it matter?)</p>
<p>Assuming I do get that GPA, how are my chances looking???</p>
<p>Don’t let the transfer rate fool you because they include the guaranteed transfers they give to kids straight out of high school as well as transferring athletes and such.</p>
<p>It’ll be significantly harder than getting into Cornell straight out of highs school.</p>
<p>hmmm. Yeah, I hate how people think the transfer rates are high because of the suicides and not the transfer guarantees. hahaha. But, in all seriousness, am I on track? Somewhat, even? I know Cornell looks for the fit, and I think my ECs show that im very committed to my major. I just have to get the essays done… so???</p>
