<p>I know it's easier to get in to the college of agriculture and life sciences when you're a resident of NY...but just how much easier is it - as a transfer?</p>
<p>ok here's the deal with that. As a transfer, it may be easier coming from NY, but the thing with that is many people have guaranteed transfer agreements, either from their school (like Laguaradia community college) or personal guaranteed transfers, offered to people who applied to Cornell out of high school (like me). That's why CALS acceptance rate is high.</p>
<p>you've still gotta have top scores to get in.</p>
<p>I've heard that it's easier, and the stats say so, but I think it's because of that variable that NY students have articulation agreements through community colleges. That's the thing I'm wondering about, what kinda grades do you need to get in, and also not all people are taking the same difficulty of courses, etc. I have the SAT scores, but as a Junior transfer I don't think that will amount to much. I e-mailed Cornell to ask them how many NY state CC students transfer into CALS, but I didn't get any answer, because I think they don't know. I'm just going to keep my grades up and hope for the best, because Cornell's my first choice.</p>
