I’m in the same situation, at a CC looking to transfer for my sophomore year as opposed to junior year and I’m getting in Bio I and II as well as the other required courses for Communications.

And they’re right, the pool is competitive, I’m on track for a 3.8 GPA but it’ll be my essay, ECs and recommendations that hopefully put me on top of consideration. Plus, Cornell, like every college, likes it when students express extreme interest in the majors/school. If you’re average isn’t as high or test scores aren’t as fabulous, they’d still consider you because you often speak with admission via phone, e-mail, and visits like Open Houses and have demonstrated why you “fit” in the school.

My mother seems to have no clue as to how I would demonstrate “fit” for a school like Cornell and with a major in Communication but I intend to do just that. My main and primary focus will be Cornell of course, but I’m also going to chalk up two SUNY schools as well as maybe Syracuse for transfer into other types of programs.
