<p>Your HS scores won’t matter after two years in college. But your chances to transfer to the listed schools are slim. All of them has about one per cent acceptance rate. Good luck. </p>

<p>Cornell’s is higher, though for econ, the odds are still low.</p>

<p>Cornell transfer rate is by department. Besides, they accept articulated CC transfers. If you take out those, the true unhooked transfer rate is about the same as any listed schools.</p>
