<p>Hey, I’m applying to Cornell for a Spring 2010 transfer, and also have a unique story, so I’m going to comment =)</p>
<p>I think admissions will be understanding to your situation, if you offset the weaker points in your app with stronger points. In this case, I definitely think you should apply. I think you have a chance! (Not sure about other schools, not really familiar with them =x)</p>
<p>Good luck with everything!</p>
