<p>from my sister's friend who went to cornell, she did that sort of thing and it was really easy to do, yah im interested in doing that also</p>
<p>Question: Two of my friends also got in ED, and I was wondering if there was any way the three of us could go about guarenteeing that we'd be in the same dorm hall</p>
<p>I do not believe that you can guarantee the same hall, unless you all applied and got into the same program houses.</p>
<p>However you can make roommate requests. I do not remember if they allow you only to request one other person or two or three other in the case of a quad or triple. But, I know you can request at least one of your friends, but someone else may be able to clarify if you can select more than one person.</p>
<p>Test out of 192 if you can. I took it at WashU during the summer between my junior/senior year and decided to take 192 anyways, figuring it would be easy. Cornell was significantly harder than WashU was - not conceptually, just in terms of problem solving/etc. Get out of any core classes you can.</p>
<p>I had a lot of AP credit this year (I got out of chem, physics 112 and 213 (still have to take 214, though), CS 100, Math 191 and a writing seminar). My schedule was:</p>
<p>Math 192
ENGRI 111 (Nanotechnology)
CS 211/212 (they go togather)
Writing Seminar
SOC 246 (liberal arts distribution)</p>
<p>If you can get out of core reqs, you have a lot of freedom with your scheduling.</p>
<p>You can get credit for liberal arts distribution from APs - I'm only taking 2 lib arts distributions (my 200+ level requirements) because of AP credit.</p>
<p>you guys are brave posting your personal information here</p>
<p>I wonder how hard the department's test for 192 would be. Would I have to like take the final? I'm basically doing independent study with a 20minute class per day with the department head at my school but its not like MV is really all that tough and studying for a placement test in august seems like a good idea if its feasible to test out of it...</p>
<p>Add Drop is the online process of adding and dropping courses.</p>
<p>Not to be confused with course enroll, which is the online process of initially selecting courses.</p>
<p>I don't know about requesting the same hall, but requesting the same room is possible.</p>
<p>Yeah, does anyone have a course syllabus for 192 or something? We are doing Calc III and MV stuff in class now (have been done with AP stuff since October) and I wouldn't mind self-studying and getting that out of the way if there is a placement test...if not, oh well.</p>
<p>Oh and spart, so you can basically test out a course and if you find it too difficult or whatever you can drop if without it negatively affecting you? Like, if I ented with AP credit for Econ 101 and Econ 102, and chose to take Econ 313 for liberal arts credit my first or second semester and found a 300-level class too difficult, I could drop it and sign up for it the next year?</p>
<p>live: There are always placement tests. You can test out of courses, and drop courses up to half way through the semester with no record of it on your transcript. You can still drop up to 3/4 of the way through but u'll get a W on the transcript. </p>
<p>add drop is also for times. you drop your 12:20 Calc I class and add a 10:00 Calc I class instead.</p>
<p>Here's the Math 192 webpage: <a href="http://www.math.cornell.edu/%7Eweb192/%5B/url%5D">http://www.math.cornell.edu/~web192/</a></p>
<p>You can find past tests there to gauge the course's difficulty.</p>
<p>Thanks guys...and sorry to keep bugging you, but if you decide to try and test out of a course, does the grade you get on the test go on your transcript or do you just get credit for it w/o any grade?</p>
<p>Only course grades go on your transcript. Also, tests you take freshman year usually wouldn't be that important to your employer, even if they hypothetically did go on your transcript.</p>
<p>Once again, no grade on your transcript for a placement test; only placement.</p>
<p>Ok cool...I'm not that worried about employers, but more some sort of grad school if I choose to go that way. I don't want to kill my GPA freshman year or anything.</p>
<p>grad schools employ you so you can afford the education ;)</p>
<p>Bump; any more questions? I'm leaving for deer valley/park city/the canyons on friday and might not be on for a week, so ask now!</p>
<p>sparticus, if ur from cornell ug, do u get automatic consideration for cornell pg
ug- undergraduation
pg-postgraduation</p>
<p>I don't know, but if you do well at cornell UG it's definitely good enough for PG anywhere, as cornell has a rep for being a challenging school, even among it's academic peers like the rest of the ivy league.</p>
<p>For post-grad, I know you can pretty much automatically get into the MEng program for engineering.</p>
