<p>Hi - I'm just beginning the transfer process and I was wondering if I have a chance at cornell or other top schools.
My high school grades were pretty low: 3.7 gpa and 1310 SATs.
But I've been in college for a year with a 3.9 GPA. I have also studied art in Italy for a semester and I have a successful painting career (galleries/solo shows/awards). What is the most artistic Ivy school? How much do special talents count in the Ivy League?</p>
<p>it varies by college. for example, the architecture department admissions committee really looks for creative talent and strong credentials. The engineering department looks for people with high academic credentials. </p>
<p>i don't know which is the most artistic ivy but cornell does have a strong architecture program (even though architecture is also a science). I don't know much about their art program but it does seem to be pretty solid. most AAP students go to rome for a semester or year but i guess you've done that already.</p>
<p>thanks....I"ll definately look into Cornell. I've heard that brown has a great art program too. But do you really think it's possible to get into a top school with my grades and SATs?</p>
