Cornell Fall 2010 Transfers

<p>It's definitely very early to start filling out the app for cornell for the fall right now, but I'm sure many people on CC have plans to apply. Post questions, what cornell college you want to apply to, chances, stats, reasons for transferring, and well, just about anything. The acceptance numbers from CC have been pretty good in recent cycles, and I'm hoping they'll get better at the end of this one. I want this to reach the massive proportions of the spring thread.</p>

<p>I don’t know whether or not I’ll definitely apply to Cornell. I know I want to transfer, but I don’t know if Cornell is right for me (I want a hands on approach, and my friends at Cornell complain about the huge class sizes more than anything else). I love Ithaca (the town), but don’t like Ithaca College where I go now. I’d like to be in New York or Chicago, but I don’t have the $$$ for NYU (got in from HS but with no aid), and I don’t feel like I have the grades for Columbia/U of Chicago.</p>
