<p>I'm actually still trying to decide if I'm applying to Cornell... the Human Bio, Health, & Society major that HE offers sounds like my dream major!! The only thing holding me back is the financial situation... my parents make way too much money for me to qualify for aide, but my parents are unwilling to pay for much of my education. And I guess I just don't want to get my hopes up for something that I wouldn't be able to afford even if I was lucky enough to get accepted. </p>

<p>Btw, what major are you looking at?</p>

<p>that same major!!!! :) I'm just worried about how it is supposed to be a state school....so i'm basically thinking that i really don't stand a chance as a transfer because i'm an out of state applicant. I'm from LA. In addition to that, I've noticed that there's alot of requirements for Human Ecology too. Like two semesters of english, cal/precal, etc..... It seems as though the school is more sttructured around 2nd year transfers than 1st year.</p>

<p>are you doing premed?</p>

<p>How funny, I live in Orange County. :) The requirements didn't seem overly intense to me... I've already met them in preparing to apply to the UCs, and as part of my UC major prereqs (like in the case of calc). From the info I got from them, they do seem very focused on (or maybe supportive of?) their transfer students... which is probably a good thing, in our situation. However, being a nonresident will probably make it harder for us to get in.</p>

<p>Yes, I'm premed... are you? :)</p>

<p>two things:</p>

<p>first, cornell, from what ive been told by transfer students and my transfer advisor, does indeed provide an excellent atmosphere for transfer students, especially in the state assisted schools.</p>

<p>second, and on the negative side of the equation, a tremendous percentage of transfers to the state assisted schools like human ecology are from NY community colleges, so the statistics really wouldnt reflect the amount accepted from out of state schools. you should call the school to ask if they can give you an idea, since its not posted anywhere that i know of.</p>

<p>I have a low cumulative average of a 3.0 , however my school is quite rigorous and I am ranked 2nd in my school. I plan on taking several AP’s next year and I have been taking electives in order to prepare for the Policy Analysis and Management . In your opinion will the 3.0 be a major setback even though my rank is 2nd? I attend a small private school in the borough of Queens, New York and it is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. My sat score is 2000 and the critical reading and math combine to make 1390. I have over 250 hours of service credit in a hospital and a community center in order to get a feel for structuring of large and small institutions in regards to this major. I plan on applying early decision</p>
