Chances for a Cornell Fall 2013 Transfer?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>I'm currently a freshman at SUNY Geneseo (Political Science, Class of 2016), and I'm very much considering a transfer to Cornell's Arts and Sciences. I applied RD to A&S but got rejected... I'm trying my best to maintain all A's for my first semester (probably around 3.5-3.8, by the end of the semester) and I'm taking five classes (three 100-level, one 200-level, and one 300-level) this coming spring semester.</p>

<p>Born and raised in Ithaca all my life, I went to IHS and graduated with the following stats:</p>

<ul>
<li>3.35 (unweighted) GPA, 4.0 (weighted) GPA</li>
<li>1800 SAT, 700 Spanish SAT II, 640 Math II SAT II</li>
<li>Four years on a FIRST Robotics Team</li>
<li>Two years on IHS' Red Cross Club Chapter</li>
<li>Began professional photography/videography work my junior year</li>
</ul>

<p>Cornell's my top school, and getting rejected has not dampened my desire to go there, and hopefully my transfer essays reflect that. What're my chances? Thanks.</p>

<p>Anyone have an idea?</p>

<p>sorry to bear bad news, but I highly doubt you’ll get accepted. Your SATs are very under the range, and so is your GPA.</p>

<p>Basically what OP said. Ivies have very low transfer acceptance rates and because you are applying as a freshman they will look at your high school stats which are just too low…</p>
