AEM is probably one of the hardest majors in cornell to get into. Besides engineering of course. It has just become its own school (dyson) and its being said that their admission requirements will be even more strict.

With that said…

Your H.S gpa is very low for cornell. Did you take challenging classes?
Also, you SAT scores are FAR TOO LOW. you really should retake the SAT because that will give you the best chance of being accepted.

Students generally have in the high 600’s to mid 700 range on all parts. Cornell is still going to look at your h.s grades and consider them fairly equal.

Positives: You have some good EC’s. Stay involved and get some official positions.

Can you get good letters of recs?
The essays are also key. you have to nail them.

I just transfered into the AEM program at cornell. there were only 40 students accepted for the fall. so that gives you a general idea of its selectivity.

As for upenn and columbia. you have close to no shot. If you were not a competitive freshman applicant then you can forget about transferring.

Sorry to be so negative. But someone has to be honest and let you know the reality of the situation
