<p>Hello, </p>
<p>Well, Im currently a student at UMass Amherst, and I will apply to transfer to Cornell for the spring 2009 semester. I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice concerning the transfer process, and if they know of anyone that has transferred from UMass to Cornell.
Im not sure of my chances (btw, Im a freshman): first semester I had two As and three B-s, and for second semester I will hopefully have all A/A-s. Im also taking classes at the neighboring Amherst College and Smith College, and so far have received As there. However my high school transcript is pretty average, and so are my SATs. I have done ECs, not sure if they are impressive enough for Cornell, and I did cross-country in high school. I guess, Im just hoping for people to give me some kind of advice or opinion.</p>
<p>Oh, for EC one of my things was, I was a girl scout and I worked at an orphanage in Bulgaria, because I'm from there. I usually mention that English is my second language and I learned it when I came here. I don't think that helps much though, 'cos I'm sure lots of people at Cornell have a different first language. </p>
<p>Anyways, sorry for all the rambling, and just thanks for any advice or opinion!</p>
