<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I'm currently looking to transfer to Cornell, and just wanted a gist of how the college experience/community is at Cornell. Also potentially an evaluation of what chance I stand. I'm a prospective Econ major at NYU. I'm currently a freshman. My reasons for leaving NYU mostly revolve around the lack of community and a desperate lack of intellectualism because it's so exceedingly pre-professional(everyone's out to make money here). </p>
<p>Some stats: </p>
<p>HS GPA: 3.8/4.0 - 4.25/5.0
ACT - 31 single sitting(33 combined)
College GPA: 3.92/4.0
SAT 2s: 770 USH and 800 Math 2
APs: USH - 5, Calc AB - 5, Calc BC - 4, Env. Science - 4, APCS - 3(didn't take the class), AP literature - 4, AP Econ - 4</p>
<p>College Classes:
Analytical Statistics
Calculus 3
Linear Algebra
Developmental Economics
Principles of Macroeconomics
GE Liberal Arts class
Another GE liberal arts class
Writing 1 and Writing 2
Elementary Chinese </p>
<p>Note. I'm relatively ashamed of my high school performance, many of my essays will focus on my growth both in terms of maturity and diligence. I have some pretty cool life experiences to share. </p>
