<p>i know that i might not get into cornell as a freshman but planning to cornell after my junior year at either penn state,fordham, or howard university.</p>
<p>the question is what else do they look for when transfering to CAS expect grades?</p>
<p>do you have to a perfect A+?</p>
<p>well. first, I know that each college has different standards for transfer–as in some are more selective then others. I don’t know where CAS stands… but I am pretty sure you do not need to have a perfect 4.0… anywhere from a 3.6+ would give you solid standing, granted of course, a solid essay [legit reason to leave. not prestige]. Look up your prospective major’s pre reqs, and focus your curriculum around that.</p>
<p>CAS has very high standards for transfer admission. 3.6 or greater, plus good faculty recs are needed. I think only like 1 in 8 are accepted.</p>
<p>i doubt you can apply after junior year, i think you need to do at least two full years at cornell</p>
<p>You can apply after junior year, just realize you will need to stay an extra year. </p>
<p>CAS does have high standards…but you don’t need a 4.0. Like others said: you need good and strong recommendations, a great essay and a 3.6+. Make sure you clearly communicate why Cornell is the best place for you to continue your education. Don’t bash your current institution…it’s tacky.</p>
<p>If it helps…I transferred to CALS after my freshman year with a 3.9 and mediocre high school stats. I know CAS and CALS are 2 different schools…but just recognize that no matter the college, Cornell transfers that matriculate tend to have high GPAs but definitely not all have 4.0s.</p>
<p>what college did you go to before transferring into cornell, if you dont mind answering ^_^</p>
