aite, no more speculation, the facts

Transfer Students
1

<p>First Semester at Cornell</p>

<p>3.6 GPA, i took 4 classes, one of them was Introductory Biology and Lab, without it, my GPA is a 3.9, but Cornell is known for grade-deflation.</p>

<p>High School Stats</p>

<p>96-97 GPA, 10 AP courses</p>

<p>top 2-3 percent</p>

<p>1450 SAT I</p>

<p>730/740/730/700 SAT IIs</p>

<p>Presidential Research Scholar at Cornell, only 1 out of 40 at Cornell</p>

<p>my chances at Columbia, U of Chicago (previously accepted), Northwestern (previously accepted), UPenn, Brown, Duke, Rice (previously accepted)</p>

<p>just out of curiousity, what do you think your class rank is at cornell with a 3.6?</p>

3

<p>I think Cornell grades on a 4.3 scale, right?</p>

4

<p>dude you know you have a good chance at all those schools, columbia and duke are probably the only ones where it would be questionable since they arent big on transfers.</p>

5

<p>cornell technically gives out A+, but no one really gets them. FOr example, i got the highest grade in one of my classes in my section, expecting an A+, didn't get it.</p>

6

<p>all i know is that Cornell is not big on grade inflation, like i hear that the average GPA given out for freshman is a 3.0.</p>

7

<p>for freshman engineering it is probably lower, around 2.8</p>

8

<p>Good luck bball87, wherever you may choose to go. Have a blast there. I think you have a good chance given your stats, but I'm not an expert by any means. What's your major, btw?</p>

9

<p>Government (Political Science), which i got an A in the intro course</p>

10

<p>anyone else...bump? Slipper, where ru man?</p>

11

<p>anyone......</p>

12

<p>did you apply last year to Columbia? Just on principle, I know Columbia says they arent big on accepting people who got rejected out of hs after just one semester.</p>

13

<p>i was rejected out of high school. I know ppl that have been accepted to a bunch of ivies after being rejected out of high school after 1 semester in college. I am applying to enter as a sophmore.</p>

14

<p>Columbia-reach (not many transfers)
U of Chicago-match
Northwestern-match
Brown-match
Duke-reach (not many transfers)
Rice-match</p>

<p>P.S. Why are you trying to transfer out of Cornell? </p>

<p>Your excellent high school stats will help you out should you apply for sophmore transfer, as the universities would weight your application more towards your high school career.</p>

15

<p>i am applying to enter as a sophmore. I want to let ppl know that getting a 3.6 at Cornell is no easy endeavor for a first semester, taking a difficult science course on a strict B- to C+ curve.</p>

16

<p>Anyone Else...i Really Want Some Feedback Here.</p>

17

<p>Cornell is known for grade deflation. This stands in stark contrast to most of the other ivy's. Your GPA is excellent.</p>

18

<p>I am not good at estimating chances, but I think you will be admitted into Rice, Columbia, Brown, UChicago, and Northwestern.</p>
