A very short and quick(?) question!!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi, I'm a sophomore right now, and I was trying to transfer to Cornell(CALS) but
I had a pretty bad GPA(3.69) due to one C+ on chem, and so I'm trying to give a shot after I stay two more semesters at the present school to raise up my GPA. I'm wondering if I can apply to Cornell in my junior year, for the spring semester. Is it too late to apply?
I asked the admission department but they did not really 'answer' my question...:(
Thank you!!</p>

<p>If they accept you, and I don't think there is a rule against age/academic standing, they would require you complete at least 4 semesters and 60 units.</p>

<p>That's all I know.</p>

<p>No one here can answer that question. If they "didn't really" answer it, I'd suggest you call back again and hope to get a different person, or ask for clarification on what you were told.</p>

<p>3.69 is not a "bad" GPA. Not in any way, shape or form.</p>

<p>I got a C+ on chem and when I posted my stat here, people said I am not gonna make CALS unless I raise up my GPA ..:( HMM</p>

<p>What major are you trying to pursue?</p>

<p>raising your GPA will never hurt you.</p>

Thank you very much Here&Now..! But I'm very afraid that if I lose a chance to apply for Cornell.

<p>I don't think that any school takes transfers Spring semester of junior year. Blatantly, don't get too caught up in trying to transfer to Cornell.</p>

<p>Are you in state? If not, CALS would be a big reach because the stats on that school are inflated due to GTs and such</p>

<p>Couple things. First, you can only bring in 60 credits max, assuming you get admitted. Second, CALS requires you to complete a certain # of credits at Cornell, plus you gotta deal with distribution requirements and all that stuff. If you do get in (which I'm unsure is possible), there's little doubt that you'd have to pay for extra semesters to meet those requirements.</p>

<p>What is your projected major in CALS? You could get in touch with the specific department and ask for transfer advice from the undergraduate advisor there. There could be really big differences in how that C+ is viewed depending on the individual department, and having someone inside CALS pulling for you can make a difference.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Also, have you looked for a similar major in the College of Human Ecology? Back in the last century when I was a grad student in CALS and happydad was a grad student in Hum. Ec. there were some programs that overlapped.</p>
