Hi there! I am a guaranteed transfer to Animal Science and will be starting at Cornell this fall, so hopefully I can help.

I think what CALS really emphasizes when it refers to fit is depth of involvement and focus, especially for a somewhat niche major like Animal Science. Volunteering at a shelter and sanctuary, as well as being a part of an animal-related club should be sufficient, especially if you end up doing an AnSci-related summer program.

I think you’ll be fine wherever you end up. Best of luck, and enjoy the rest of your sophomore year! (Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, my thoughts are kind of jumbled right now and I didn’t write nearly as much as I would’ve liked to)
