Not a competative applicant, but how could I appeal to Admissions? (long-ish)

<p>Hi I'm going to apply to Cornell for the Fall 2010 semester (soph status)... as a reach-and-a-half school.
I want to apply to CALS as an Applied Eco and Management major-- Internat'l Trade and Development (NOT NOT NOT a guaranteed transfer program).</p>

<p>I originally started school as an International Sudies major at a SUNY cc (I'm a NYS resident*) and so I started taking courses relevant to that path. I did not know that there was required coursework in transferring to Cornell, so I'm a bit scared about the whole thing. I will take Summer courses if need be.</p>

<p>My courses for the 2009-10 school year are as follows:
Geography- Fall
French- Fall
Chinese- Fall
Public Speaking- Fall
Statistics- Fall
Fundamentals of Internat'l Business- Spring
English Comp- Spring
Modern American History- Spring
French- Spring
Chinese- Spring</p>

<p>So far I anticipate As, B+s, Bs...and one C-like grade that I'm trying to pull up (Geograhy-- I KNOW)</p>

<p>As far as ECs go, I'm an officer in the Chinese Club (I'm white. lol.) and on the school paper.
What can I do to demonstrate the fact that I would like to work in a business environment? What activities could I put on my application to show them that I'm very much interested in my major? How could I stand out?</p>

<p>I don't believe I have any "hooks" per se...er.. I graduated hs in 3 years.. is that something? </p>

<p>Please help! And do tell me if there is anything else I need to post about myself.
Thanks</p>
