Where to transfer after volunteering for a year at an orphanage?

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>Right now I’m entering my second year of general ed at a community college. I was planning on applying to universities for Fall 2014 admission, but I had a change of heart and am now thinking of volunteering/living at an orphanage that I have volunteered at for most of my life for about 6 months-1 year before transferring. So instead I would be applying for Fall 2015.</p>

<p>My main question is, with a ~3.75 GPA, good ECs and then the experience of having lived at an orphanage in another country for a solid amount of time, would it be completely unrealistic to think I would be an average transfer candidate for pretty good/great universities? Would you consider it a stretch for me to apply to Yale and Cornell considering my GPA?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
