<p>I just got my grades for fall semester - 3.8 (at Cornell).</p>
<p>I was hoping for a 4.0, but I ended up getting a B+ (3.3) in one of my classes instead of an A-!!!! I thought that wouldn't happen because of extra credit that I did, and it's being appealed, but I'm unsure that will do any good.
I have good boards - 2250/2400, 1510/1600, 770 and 760 on SAT IIS (chemistry and math respectively).</p>
<p>Still, I'm worried the B+ will screw me.</p>
<p>Any feedback is appreciated, and happy holidays to everyone.</p>
<p>Hmmm....lets disect this for a moment...I'll start you on a ten point scale and see where you end up---->so you got a B+ in a humanities class at Cornell yet you want to minor in religion at Harvard (just dropped four spots)...judging by the fact that you have legacy at Harvard and you seem quite full of yourself from previous threads I guess you were rejected from Harvard last year too (drop 0.5) ok now lets see your reason for transfering: you want to major in neuroscience...baloney (my favorite sandwich) take the courses offered at your institution and be happy...besides Cornell has plenty of Neur. related courses..but I mean you could just put down your real reason for name recognition and call it a day (yah you really give it away) down two...3.5 out of ten so there a 35% and be happy I'm generous...oh and happy new years and merry christmas</p>
<p>If you don't respond to ********, it'll stick.</p>
<p>Naturally, you know nothing about the class I got a B+ in, and let me tell you - it was philosophy. Philosophy writing is nothing like any other humanity. It's all in the first person, and it's almost like math. It was also a sophomore level course intended for majors, and the professor was extremely pleased with my work. He's writing one of my recommendations, as a matter of fact.
As for the only humanities/writing class I did take - I got an A+. That professor is writing my other rec.
You're also completely wrong about neuroscience. Cornell doesn't have a single neuroscience class. They have neurobiology, in which one majors in general biology, and then takes 2-3 classes in neurobiology. At harvard, the concentration involves more neurobiology and less general biology.</p>
<p>Finally, the only part you got right: name recognition. Harvard looks better than Cornell. Good work, detective. You have the intellectual wherewithal to commentate on a sports video game.</p>
<p>I guess thats a pretty legit reason though.</p>
<p>haha....wow...noway69, I like the way you critique.</p>
<p>I don't think you wanna mess with someone whose name is "Death to Pablo."</p>
<p>You are right.....I take that back....lol</p>
