<p>btw, does Cornell have a preference for juniors over sophomore transfers? and does the College of Arts and Sciences require SATs and SAT 2? which schools in Cornell don't require these tests? Thanks!</p>
<p>How important is High School GPA? I had a 2.7 HS GPA and Now I'm attending a community College and currently have a 3.8 GPA which I'll boost more.. I really want to attend Cornell CALS but will my HS GPA hold me back?</p>
<p>to be honest, the fact that you're at a community college might hurt your chances more than your H.S GPA. high school doesn't matter to Cornell after about a year and half but your college and your college GPA are extremely important.</p>
<p>A lot of CALS transfers come from community colleges....CALS even has transfer agreements with many of them</p>
<p>As for your HS grades....yes, they do matter if you're applying to come in as a sophomore. If you transfer in after 2 years elsewhere they don't matter as much.</p>
<p>I got in with a 3.6. Haha, I suck.</p>
<p>I have a 3.77 as a soph in a good, rigorous LAC (wesleyan), but each semester i have been here it has gotten higher...</p>
<p>~3.6 for fall freshman semester
~3.8 for spring freshman semester
~4.0 for fall sophomore semester (with two A+s)</p>
<p>they will be more impressed by that than just a straight up 3.8 right? maybe they'll just base their decision on that 4.0 last semester, lol.</p>
<p>upward trends are always good :-)</p>
<p>tl339: if you dont mind my asking, how did you get in with a 3.6? are you an underrepresented minority? do you have extraordinary SATs? And what is a 3.6 exactly, because some explain it as a 90 while others say it is a 92 or a 93. Thanks!</p>
