Transferring to Cornell Fall 2010?

<p>I'm greatly considering applying to Cornell for the fall of 2010. Currently, I'm a second year student at Seton Hall University with 60 credits (Junior Status), and I'm starting to think Cornell is the right school for me. Should I go through the process with these grades?</p>

<p>HS:
GPA: 3.4
3 APs, 4 on English and 3 on French
SAT: 1710, 600 on French</p>

<p>College:
GPA: 3.8
A LOT of community service.
I am a Resident Assistant, the captain of the Mock Trial team, and part of the executive board for my schools chapter of Amnesty International.
Majoring in Diplomacy/International Relations and planning on transferring to the Government program. </p>

<p>All of the classes I am taking now are junior level, and this school is not academically challenging. I worked hard in HS but had a very tough year sophomore year (death =[). I know that their program has a lot to offer me and it is a great fit for me. But, I'm scared that my grades from HS will haunt me. My recs are great and I know that I am a leader on my campus. My essay writing skills are fine, but HS strikes back again! Do I stand a chance?</p>

<p>you should join the cornell fall '10 thread.</p>

<p>besides that, CAS is extremely selective. i would advise finding a similar program within cornell that you wouldn’t mind being in. CAS didn’t take any CCers from the spring thread. you could read over the fall '09 thread to get a better look at who was accepted to CAS since you’ll be applying for the fall, but my advice is the same: check out other programs.</p>
