If you transferred to Cornell
If you transferred to Cornell then you should list your previous school on your resume
Just saying...
people know that SATs are
people know that SATs are scored out of 800. i'd think twice about working at a place where they don't know that. also, you have to quantify every achievement that is quantifiable. misallocated resources fixed? how much?

Did you get a scholarship for the MSE at Penn?
Yea, and it's subsidized

3) You can remove "Extra-Curricular" in the line where you list your activities. Just "Activities" is fine
4) Remove the "/800"
