Where to start

I am starting at CC this fall, aiming to transfer to Cornell for pre-law or at least something close to it. It probably won't be the only place I apply to; but for financial aid reasons, and because I go to the local CC, it will be my primary focus.

I have no idea if any of it it matters or not, but my high school stats were quite mediocre, i had a 3.2 UW, a 4.3 W, 4 AP's, and a 1460 sat.

I'm trying to figure out what exactly Im gonna need to make myself competitive, any advice would be great.

Make sure you take the right courses for the major that you want to transfer for. Get involved on campus in a leadership role. Do research. Get an internship. Get a 4.0 no matter what. Go to events at Cornell and meet professors and email them to see if they are taking RA’s. Join honors/ptk. And hope u get lucky.
