Hi, I was just wondering on what others thought about my chances for transferring to Cornell’s ILR program.
I currently in the honors program at tiny private liberal arts school in Philadelphia that isn’t very selective (50% AR).
High school stats weren’t too great. I went to a charter/boarding school for “gifted students” so classes were pretty intense (but AP’s weren’t offered.) my GPA came out to be about 3.7-3.8 weighted (they didn’t give unweighted or class rank.) my ACT wasn’t great either (28) so I most likely won’t send in the score. I Also did tons of relevant extra curriculars in high School.
It’s my first semester in college but i came in with tons of college credits. I’ve done all of the pre-recs for ILR except micro-econ that I can’t take until this summer. I don’t have a posted GPA yet, but my classes are fairly easy so for the sale of this post, I’m assuming I can keep all A’s.
As for college ECs, I do varsity cross country (DIII), I’m on the honors council, I’m a “college access mentorship program” mentor for low income/first gen. high school students, a delegate in student government, and next semester I’ll be abroad in Europe with the honors program so possibly other things there.
Personal wise, I qualified for the “obstacle course running world championships” (didn’t attend due to cross country but I plan to next year), I’m an avid mountainboarder (these are pretty niche but I read somewhere that Cornell looks for exoteric activities), and am currently writing a novel (nothing published yet so this might not count as anything though.)
Thanks so much in advance
