Just to clarify, you’re transferring in the middle of your sophomore year? How did you make Dean’s list for 3 semesters….aren’t you in your 3rd semester now? In any event, I encourage you to consider waiting until Fall 2023, because your high school transcript will be considered as part of your transfer application at this point. If you wait until you transfer as a junior than only your college transcript will be considered.
What are your transfer criteria beside leaving the southeast? Why Cornell for example?
