Chances for engineering transfer

<p>Hey yall. I'm a current freshmen in the accredited engineering program at SUNY Binghamton, and I plan to transfer to Engineering at Cornell for this coming fall. Can anyone please tell me my chances, and please be honest?</p>

<p>College GPA
1st semester: 3.6</p>

<p>HS GPA: (Public high school)
92.52 weighted</p>

<p>Test Scores:
SATI: 600 CR, 750 M, 650 W (66 MC, 8 essay)
SATII: 740 Math level II, 590 Physics, 570 US History</p>

<p>As a side note, I did get rejected in regular admissions in my senior year of high school, but that was when I had lower SATI scores. I did not retake the SATII's.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>umm, your first semester GPA is pretty low. And your SAT1's are still pretty low. A 590 in physics won't help you at all, and I don't think I know anybody in the engineering school who didn't have at least a 760 on the Math IIC SATII.</p>

<p>Well, the Cornell engineering website recommends anything above a 3.0 (equal to a B), but mentions that most successful transfers had GPA's above 3.5. I agree that the SATII physics won't help me at all, but do you think they emphasize the SATII's that much for college transfers? As for the Math IIC, I don't think a 20 point difference is going to matter that much. And for the SATI, yeah, I guess a 2000 is pretty low. I really can't do much about it right now, since I'm applying this month. But thanks for your input.</p>

<p>uhh i have no idea how the new SAT system works...I took it when the max score was 1600. anyhow, your physics is really weighing you down. do you have any experience or extracirriculars that could make up for it? most ppl wont have perfect applications, so in your app, do make sure you emphasis your good points to make up for bad ones :) good luck!</p>

<p>ugh, doesn't matter anymore; I have no idea what to write for the "reason you're transferring" essay, other than the obvious (better school).</p>
