Straight to Fordham or wait for Cornell?
I'm in a dilemma WSO and I need an alternative perspective from what I'm being told. I'm looking to land a S&T position at a BB.
Currently im at Community College and will be doing 1-2 more semesters depending on where i want to transfer to. I'm being told that doing 2 more semesters then attempt to transfer into Cornell for AEM or apply to CAS Economics as a Sophomore ( technically as a junior but considering most credits wont account to the degree, or another target, most only accept fall admissions) is a terrible idea considering i will only have two summers worth of internships to be able to be done and its a low chances of getting accepted.
On the other hand I can do 1 more semester and then transfer to Fordham (I know i will 100% get in) and be able to hit the ground running and be able to do 4+ internships by the time i graduate(I understand its a semi/non-target?) considering i maintain amazing grades and extracurriculars to get said potential internships , or do my spring semester 2019 there, then try to apply to Cornell/ target school? ( if i get denied to most top tiers i will just stay at Fordham)
My Stats: GPA: 3.85 Extras: -Student Government E board ( last five members that held my position all got into Cornell but i think for ILR considering the advisers "have connections") - Board member on the Board of Trustees for my school (position held through SG) - Former-President of Business Club ( cant hold any position since im now on SG) - Co-Founder of an Investment Club - Track & field/ Cross Country (joined last semester)
tl;dr Community college student wants to know should i try to transfer to Dyson in 1 more year with low acceptance rate and only two summers worth of internships or go to Fordham to be able to do year round internships/network by the time i graduate saving 1 year of time at that could be considered wasted at CC

If you can get, Cornell even in the shittiest majors
Thanks for the insight, is it really worth it though to stay one more semester to attempt to get in?
