<p>Questions-
What else can i do to strengthen my applications?</p>
<p>Have you searched the threads on here about transfer info/stats? That may be of use to you. It seems like each University is a bit different as to what they consider for transfers and how many they take.</p>
<p>It is my understanding from reading this board that transfers can be even more selective than freshman admission (lower percent acceptance), but it does depend on which school within Cornell you are applying to. What major?</p>
<p>I am not sure how heavily test scores influence your transfer applications. Hopefully someone else can comment on that. Your stats are below the 25th-75th percentile range for incoming freshman for most of the colleges within Cornell such as Arts and Sciences and College of Engineering, so they don’t seem that helpful for Cornell–but again maybe they are no longer considered.</p>
<p>Your GPA is good and will help. I think you will need some really compelling recommendations and fantastic essays that demonstrate your fit for your chosen schools and major. </p>
<p>I think if you can be a bit more specific about your intended major and such, you may get more useful answers.</p>
<p>Thank you for your responce, i am sorry for not posting all the info i am
new to this site. For Cornell i am a NY state resident and would apply to the
Human Ecology school on the state side if that helps. Also, transfer students represent the majority in that school.
Also if this helps anyone answer my questions</p>
<p>Cornell Transfer Rate- Varries , about the same as regular admissions
Vanderbilt- 50% , small pool of applicents though
BU- i think 33%
NYU- i think 30%
UVM- 70%
UNH- 70%
Umass Amherst- idk, my friend told me it’s a “safty” school for me
Northwestern- 15% i think</p>
<p>The total undergrad in Human Ecology is 1300. the 2010 freshman enrolled class is 262. How do you calculate that the majority of HumEc students are transfers??</p>
