<p>Hello, I was just wondering what my chances are?
I plan to transfer to CAS(English major) - i know this is the hardest school to transfer into. :(
I am a freshman in a Jesuit Private University and plan to transfer for the 2014 Spring semester.
My GPA: 3.93/4.0
My SATs aren't so great so I am retaking them in May. (1630 total)
Extra Curricular/Volunteer Work: Volunteer high school track coach. Volunteer within the school(campus ministry, sociology, etc) 100+ volunteer hours. Part of my college's track & field/cross country team. Two Jobs: Work study in the athletic department and I work for "Intercruises". A part of the 'National Honor's Society'.
I plan on joining a club once spring break is over to up my extra curricular because i know this is important.
I also know essays are, in a way, 'make it or break it' when applying to Cornell. I feel the essay portion of the app. will be my strong point.
Any advice on other activites i can take part in in order to get accepted?
Chances?</p>

<p>Let me know what you all think. Thanks…and goodluck to everyone!</p>
<p>@wowme- provided you get your SAT up and your essays are as good as you say they are, I think you’d have a decent shot. The only thing you could probably do would be to get closer to one of your english professors and get them to write you a really good letter of recommendation. And make sure you have a better reason for transferring than ‘Cornell is more prestigious’ or something like that.</p>
<p>The rest of you- get your own thread. This is rude.</p>
