<p>Hello all. I've been an occasional reader of these threads for quite a while, and it has finally come to pass that I register and post my own thread. I have a dilemma I was hoping you all could help solve with me:</p>
<p>I am currently at a state university (a tier one according to US News, although I don't put much faith in those rankings) as a freshman and I am thinking about transferring to Cornell's College of Human Ecology. I am currently a Philosophy and Political Science double major at my school, and I would be transferring into the Policy and Analysis Management program at Cornell (of which I was told by admissions I am "eligible" i.e. I'd get in). I currently receive scholarships form my state school that total more than half of the total cost of attendance. I am heavily involved in extracurriculars and leadership positions at my state school relating to my area of interest, even though this is my first year, and I will continue to advance if I stay. My plans for the future include (tentatively) doing Teach for America for two years after undergrad, or some other type of work related to my field of interest, and then proceeding to law school. I wish to apply to national scholarships as well. I would very much like to attend either Harvard or Yale law school, or perhaps graduate school. I am interested in public policy and law, and am unsure exactly what I want to do in terms of career. I would like to enter the Army JAG Reserves after law school, however, and this is a definite. </p>
<p>My questions are: In terms of getting into law school, applying to national academic scholarships, and then career perspectives, would I be better off staying at my current state school, or transferring? And if I should transfer, should I stay an additional year and transfer as a Junior? </p>
<p>In addition, any posts regarding availability of activities and curriculum regarding my areas of interests would be most welcome. </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
