Hey guys,

I’m applying for fall 2012 transfer to Cornell (freshmen now) CAS (econ major). I go to a top 5 school in the US right now with a phenomenal econ dept but I’m not happy here. I currently have a 3.8-9 GPA and hopefully can maintain that through next quarter. I had a 3.9-4.0 at a top high school in NYC and got a 2260 on the SAT (1480) and a 790 and a 730 on my two SAT IIs. My ECs in high school: editor of newspaper, lax captain, mentor to 7th graders, chess team for 8 years, and photography (for newspaper and classes). In college im in a community service club, have a leadership position in the sports business team (student-run club), play club lax, intramurals, and teach chess to kids at a nearby public school.

I’ll hopefully have good reqs from 2 teachers (one is my mirco teacher) and plan on putting a ton of time/effort into my essays, what do you think my chances are?
