Participate in clubs/activities relevant to your desired major at Cornell, and try to gain favor with some professors so you can get some great recommendations. Perfect your essays and make sure that it sounds like Cornell is really the only place for you. Explain that you appreciate the educational quality of BC, but you feel like it’s lacking something that only Cornell can provide, etc. etc. etc.

My high school GPA was a bit lower than yours and I got in as a transfer from a school much less rigorous than BC with a 3.9, so I’d say your chances should be fine as anyone’s as long as your grades are high and you have a well-rounded application.
