<p>Hey everyone! I'm quite new to this forum and was hoping to get some input from you guys. thanks!</p>
<p>During my Senior Year of HS, I applied early decision to Cornell CAS but was rejected, which surprised me since I thought it was only a slight reach. I was in the top 5% of my graduating class of 500+ students, I had an overall superscore SAT of low 2100s, 800/670 on Math II and U.S. History SAT subject tests, president of Model UN, awesome recs, but I think my essays may not have thoroughly conveyed my excitement for Cornell, which probably had me out of the running.</p>
<p>I am currently a rising Sophomore at NYU CAS and am unhappy there and canNOT stop thinking about Cornell. Some problems with NYU include FA, lack of campus (which I realized matter), personal issues and opportunities.</p>
<p>But in the meantime I have attained around a 3.7 GPA from freshman year alone and have been involved in some organizations, even attaining a Treasurer position. I am also in the NYU CAS Presidential Honors Scholars Program and on the Dean's Honors List. I plan to transfer as an Econ major (which I know is really popular at Cornell, or just about everywhere) and am hoping to do well in the econ classes I plan to take this year (interm. macro, interm micro, stats). In my writing class, I was the only one to receive a final grade of A, if that matters. I would probably also minor in Business or Gov't...not sure yet.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I am an in-state Asian-American, which I know realllly gives me an advantage (rolls eyes). On the other hand, my family is not that well off (I know some of you will ask why I even bothered with NYU if it was so expensive--their aid changed for the worse after a year).</p>
<p>But I would really appreciate if you guys could help give me some advice as to whether or not I have a good shot for fall 2010 transfer, considering I was rejected for ED. Thanks!</p>
