<p>Here's where I'm at right now:
Vancouver Community College
Math 12 Part 1 - 91%
Math 12 Part 2 - 96%
Chemistry 12 - 82%
Physics 12 - 75%
Bilingual Double HS Diploma
Should I retake any classes to improve my marks so that I have good academic standing as I tryout for the basketball team in July or should I take some additional classes like Biology 12 and what do you think I should do school wise to put me in the best possible position to play for 2011/12? Any help appreciated. Thanks</p>
<p>work on your game? lmao</p>
<p>but seriously, if you can get recruited by Cornell, your academics probably won’t matter that much. Cornell has one of the best D1 basketball programs in the country so the coach probably has a lot of pull in admissions</p>
<p>I don’t think one of the best in the country is entirely true.</p>
<p>Yes, it certainly is good, but it’s really no match against the enormous public schools.</p>
<p>it made the March Madness last year and stanford didn’t. enough said =)</p>
<p>hm, i think ncaa has some rules where if you transfer, you can’t play for the first year.</p>
<p>
The only real basketball powerhouse in California is UCLA. Stanford is good, but it’s not one of the best. Cornell was also knocked out in the first round.</p>
<p>cc102 is correct about the transfer rules. I’ve only known this to be waived under extenuating circumstances (e.g. one player transferred to a school near his dying parent). </p>
<p>The OP, however, is transferring from a community college rather than a college with a basketball team, so I think – although I’d have to check to be sure – that the rule does not apply. In any case, the OP would be fighting an uphill battle for recruitment. Why recruit someone who can only play for 2-3 years when you can get someone to play for 4?</p>
<p>^cuz the OP is one in a million</p>
<p>The winner of the Ivy League always gets a spot in the NCAA tournament - it’s been like this for years and years. And the Ivy team gets one of the lowest seeds, so they almost always get destroyed in the first round by a top seed (except for once when Princeton pulled an upset back in the 90’s). So it’s difficult to tell how the Ivy team stacks up with other teams in the tournament. But I think it’s safe to say that no Ivy team in recent memory has been in the top 50 teams in the country. Last year, Cornell played some higher-ranked opponents during their season in an effort to make their schedule more difficult, and they generally didn’t fare well against those higher-ranked opponents.</p>
<p>But, having said that, Cornell has had a great program in recent years. It’s probably safe to call it on par with an average Division 1 program.</p>
<p>Indeed, we lost to seaton hall this year.</p>
<p>It’s unclear to me if the OP is a high school junior taking courses at a community college or if he is currently playing in a junior college league and seeking to transfer. Either way, work on your chemistry and physics grades and take as much math as you can. </p>
<p>Right now we are ranked somewhere around 50th in the county according to the AP poll:</p>

<p>We have had a decent, if inconsistent season so far. The loss against Seton Hall at home hurt. We will have to see how well we hang with Davidson at the Garden, and then against Kansas in January.</p>
<p>"…and then against Kansas in January. "
that will not be pretty.</p>
<p>If OP is targeting Cornell, and not Kansas, then he is not a likely future pro. Which means that, in the end, he will have to go learn some stuff and then get a real job, like the rest of us. So what he should take should be besed on what he wants to learn, and maybe do later. If that means not going to Cornell then go someplace else.</p>
<p>" “…and then against Kansas in January. "
that will not be pretty.”</p>
<p>I stand corrected.</p>
<p>That was an awesome game, heartbreaker near the end. We led for probably 85% of the game.</p>
<p>Holy crap. Cornell was actually leading at the half.</p>
<p>(cross-posted with hoonose hahaha)</p>
<p>Especially since it was predicted to be a 42 point spread…seems we did a little better than that. Considering Kansas’ thrashing of Temple last week (a ranked team) I was hoping we just got half as many points as they did </p>
<p>go big red!</p>
<p>what I read said that Kansas got their first lead with four minutes to play. I so wish Cornell won though. we’re trending on Twitter, which is kind of cool…I saw it and thought “oh, that surely can’t be MY Cornell” but it was. :)</p>
<p>We were leading with less than a minute remaining.</p>
<p>Haha, it is funny looking back at monydads comments and knowing that Cornell almost pulled of one of the biggest upsets in college basketball history. The team was leading almost the entire game until Kansas pulled it through in the final seconds. Look back at Kansas schedule, no game they have played has ever been as close (not even against top ranked teams like Temple) and they have never been down at the half. If Cornell had won, which it was until the final minute it would of ruined Kansas 50 win home game streak and it would of been the first time in history an ivy team beat a #1 team.</p>

<p>It was a little disappointing Cornell didn’t close it out as they deserved to win. However, just from reading the various sports message boards, it seems Cornell got a lot of credit for the effort. If they win the games they’re supposed to, don’t be surprised to see a 9 or 10 seed and a possible first round win. This is probably the best Ivy League team in the last 10 years.</p>
<p>Cornell this year is a Sweet 16 Team.
If we hit one more shot last night we end this week a top 25 team.</p>
