So what are my chances?

<p>Howdy.</p>

<p>I'm a freshman at CUNY Hunter in New York City. My grades are decent thus far: 100 in Precalcus, 95 in Intro to Political Theory, 90 in Intro to Economics, and... 80 in Bio (screwed up on that one, considering the CR/NC option). Next semester I'm taking English, another political course, a philosophy course, and calculus. In other words, courses in which I know I'll do well. I'm joining the school paper, the literary review, the political science association, looking for a pre-law-related internship, and a part-time job.</p>

<p>My SAT was a 2100 (Reading 770, Writing 720, Math 610). I'll probably retake it this spring. </p>

<p>Cumulative average for my first two years of high school was a 99, but then it went to ***** (personal problems) and I'm really looking to get my act back together. So I'm hoping to apply for a transfer to Cornell, likely in spring of my sophomore year when I've got a better record to show for it. </p>

<p>Anyone care to shed some light on my chances?</p>

<p>CUNY Honors or CUNY normal?</p>

<p>As a side note, you’re taking precal for the first time as a college student?</p>

<p>What school in Cornell are you planning on applying to?</p>

3

<p>Regular CUNY, yes, and Arts and Sciences.</p>

4

<p>Based on your classes and prelaw as well as poli sci interest, I think ILR would be a better match for you.</p>

<p>I’ll look into it, thanks. Anyone else, comments? I’m looking for hints at what I need to work on, I guess.</p>

<p>i think you want that college gpa in the 3.7 range</p>
