Physics or Organic Chem?

<p>This brings in another question. In my freshman year, I didn't do so well in my science courses.</p>

<p>Bio- B- and B+
Chem- A- and A-
Chem Lab- A- and A</p>

<p>I took these courses at NYU. I kinda slacked off the first year because I was a little distracted by the fact that I was stuck in a place where I don't want to be at. So I had little motivation to work. </p>

<p>If I perform well in these coming years at Cornell, it should be okay right? I mean, after all, students from Cornell with a 3.4 and other positive attributes have 85% chance of making it somewhere? Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't remember the percentages.</p>

<p>The acceptance rate for those 3.4 OR ABOVE is 86%. However, the acceptance rate for those with exactly a 3.4 GPA is much lower (somewhere in the mid 60% range).</p>
