So I initially went to a community college then transferred to SUNY Geneseo, where I currently hold a 3.57 GPA. I’m a Senior, and as a transfer, a majority of my GPA is composed of my upper-level classes which I have taken here, giving my GPA less weight from lower-level classes which I took at my 2-year college. Will Cornell Law take this into consideration? I feel I can get my GPA up to about a 3.65-68 by the time I graduate, but even that puts me on the “lower end” for applying to Cornell Law. Though given the circumstances and the rigorous academics of Geneseo, I was uncertain if this would hold any weight. Also, I’m an English Literature major. In addition, I:
-Work 15 hours a week (I’ve put myself entirely through college and have been working for almost 4 years consecutively throughout my schooling)
-Hold two executive board positions (VP for Phi Alpha Delta, Academic Chair for Sigma Tau Delta)
-Was on the rowing team for my entire first year here (15-20 hours a week commitment)
-Interned 40 hours a week at the Corporate Wegmans Summer 2017
I was also super involved at my 2-year college but I feel that’s less relevant here. I’m taking a gap year next year, I’ll be looking for work out in Rochester while studying for and taking my LSAT.
Thank you for your time!
