I got into Cornell this spring but after the waitlist process ended I won several very prestigious awards (national and international). My parents think that I would have a much higher chance of getting into Columbia, Penn, or even HYP if these awards come out later. Do you think I should take a shot at transferring to those schools? I plan on working in finance/consulting where the prestige of your undergrad definitely impacts how far you’ll go.

Personally, I don’t think I vibe at Cornell and would much prefer an urban location, but that might just be Zoom U.
