<p>DO i have a chance</p>
<p>i slacked off in high school had a 3.2 gpa and a 26 on the act..Does cornell look at high school if im appling after sophmore year</p>
<p>isn’t it early to have a fall '10 thread? there’s a spring '10 thread.</p>
<p>also, which college you’re applying to (and major) would really help people chance you and SAT scores, if you have them.</p>
<p>i dont have sat scores and i thought cornell doesnt require them for junior transfer.</p>
<p>I will be applying to the cas or hotel administration.</p>
<p>What r my chances?</p>
<p>Your chances depend largely on the school you apply to (consider AEM as well) and how you present yourself on your application. You have a great GPA and good ECs. The rest is up to you.</p>
<p>i second what viola says, but what in the hotel school are you thinking of? something in the financial part of the travel industry would be my guess, but you’re probably better off applying to arts and sciences or AEM because the hotel school really likes to see ECs that are relevant to their school. since you’re applying for fall, keep your gpa up and see if you can add in some different ECs if you really want to apply to the hotel school. they’ll look at HS but it won’t matter nearly as much. depending on the school, SAT scores are optional.</p>
<p>Thanks for the second, ironicallysure. How is your app coming? Are you planning on staying here the whole summer? I just drop buy every few days to see if anything relevant has come up. I’m really out of questions to ask about the process. Just a matter of putting together a good app now.</p>

I can prob come up with something else, I havent given it a thought yet ;)</p>
<p>Does cornell release its transfer app on the Common App website? Because i registered myself as an xfer student, and I saw Cornell had supplement, but this was the same supplement for the freshman 2009 app. They must have released an xfer app by now, though, because of spring '10 admissions.</p>
<p>you probably accidentally registered as a freshman instead of a transfer applicant.</p>

<p>Essay
I will write about a Table. How the table is important to me: In Africa my family and I were in a war and so we hide underneath the table from the bombs. Now, since I am in the USA for many years, don’t know exact number… but anyways, now my parents uses it to talk about bills and how will survive for next day. </p>
<p>So the essay will be a contrast of the use of a table in two different countries and two different situations.</p>
<p>I am thinking of transferring after a year at Penn State</p>

<p>Band
We are trying to reactivate this because it was shut down before … im doing the drums</p>
<p>it’s weird–when i first registered a new account as a an xfer applicant on commmon app, i only saw the old freshman essay prompts under the cornell supplenment. But when I logged in just now, the xfer questions are now there.</p>
<p>im also thinking of transferring into cornell aem for fall 2010. im currently a freshman at wharton at the university of pennsylvania. not sure yet, though.</p>
<p>Rachel–why would you transfer into cornell from Wharton? Cornell’s AEM is good, but it is not as highly ranked nor does it have as many recruiters as I would imagine Wharton would have.</p>
<p>" Essay
I will write about a Table. How the table is important to me: In Africa my family and I were in a war and so we hide underneath the table from the bombs.

<p>Um… this really seems like a nice essay, but the commonapp essay prompt is “Why transfer?”</p>
<p>for biological sciences, which college si better, CALS or CAS? I think CALS is easier to get into since i’m a comm college student. </p>
<p>also any ideas/suggestions for the common app essay and the cornell supplement essay? both of them have similar prompts and both are so dull! i’m struggling to come up with different and creative ideas for both prompts. Any ideas are welcome. :)</p>
<p>CALS has a higher acceptance rate, but biology seems to be a pretty competitive major at both schools. That being said, does anyone know how competitive the Biology+Society major at CALS is? How impacted is it and would courses like health/social psychology and anthropology (along w/ bio) be relevant to the major?</p>
<p>@race64 Why is it always black people that make it a big deal that they are black?</p>
<p>Just got rejected from Cornell today for spring 2010, meaning I’ll be here applying for the fall.</p>
<p>applying to CALS (AEM major)
4.0 college gpa (non-NY community college)
30 ACT (probably won’t submit this time unless I raise it)
ec - part time job 20-30 hours/week, phi theta kappa
rec - good I guess, from an econ professor
will have all but one junior-standing prereq completed by time of application, and it will be in progress
essays - good in my biased opinion. My “why cornell” essay was extremely specific</p>
<p>^ :(</p>
<p>That’s two 4.0er’s rejected… Now I wish I had like a 3.9</p>
