Chances for a Cornell Fall 2013 Transfer?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<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 this spring... 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>Other notes:</p>

<ul>
<li>My father graduated from Cornell in the 80s</li>
<li>My brother attended for a semester but had to leave due to financial reasons</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>I think you’d be good to transfer to another college of Cornell because A&S is pretty selective.</p>

<p>^ Just to give you an idea.</p>

<p>jmfateh,</p>

<p>I feel like I’d fit best in A&S because it has my major, and the only other college I would consider would be Hotel Administration… I grew up in my mother’s restaurant in Ithaca’s collegetown ironically, so I know my bit of hospitality and management. Thanks for the stats though! Also, do you happen to know how much they weigh HS vs. college stats?</p>
