While transfer admissions is in fact higher than other Ivy League schools, it’s in no way a cakewalk. It would help if you were a NY resident and applying to one of the Land Grant colleges, but Economics is in one of the Endowed colleges.

1) I assume that would mean that when you transfer in you’d be a junior (ie, applying for transfer admission as a sophomore). You can also transfer in as a sophomore.

2) As close to a 4.0 as possible. Cornell rejects many 4.0s, so grades aren’t everything; think of them as a minimum requirement to even get considered. ECs showcasing leadership are always nice, along with anything related to your intended major (internships, clubs, etc.). Most colleges within the university will want to see your SATs as well.

3) That seems like it would depend on a case-by-case basis.

You should call up admissions, I’m sure they’d be happy to talk with you about your situation.
