<p>To the OP (are we actually allowed to focus on the question that was asked) ... I'm not going to recommend a school but I'm stuck on your list being these 2 schools ... they have many-many differences. Short of both being top schools they differ o tons of other dimensions (size, city/college town, religious affiliciation, ethnic diversity, focus of social life, etc) ... I would think one school "fits" you much-much better than the other.</p>
<p>"first: suppost? and nice "it's""
sorry, leadcommissioner. </p>
<p>"way to change your story."
well I never figured a relative would post this stuff online. shocked me too!</p>
<p>"i never said i had SATs/GPAs. i said i had a list of transfers and the schools they previously attended"
and I said LIKE SATs and GPA, this info is considered private and is not released by schools.</p>
<p>tell me now, how many Cornell students are on your list?</p>
<p>okay, they're not released. i never said they were. you assumed that i had them. your argument is void. </p>
<p>i will directly answer your question without making excuses or assumptions...like you do. my current list, which includes 80% of the incoming transfer class (decisions were still taking place when i received it), lists one student from Cornell. yeah yeah yeah, that isn’t a lot. well, my initial post referred to BC and Cornell. and i have 4 BC transfers on there right now, too. a total of 5 from the two schools is a significant number.</p>
<p>If ND is so liberal with information on their students planning to enroll they shouldn’t mind if you post the list here, so we can validate your story.</p>
<p>Edit: One person from Cornell. . . so 1/14000 (aprox)</p>
<p>again, my original post was directed at two schools. why are we using Cornell's enrollment as our denominator. ND's transfer class can easily suffice.</p>
<p>I'm merely making a statement that 1/14000 (aprox) from Cornell applied to transfer to ND. (according to a list that may or may not exist)</p>
<p>not one who applied, one student who was accepted. however, it is fair to say most Cornell students stand a great chance of transferring to ND.</p>
<p>if they knew you were on the loose over there in south bend, i'm sure all cornell students would reconsider.</p>
<p>yeah. more would apply because ND is so much fun.</p>
<p>Hey dancergal. I go to BC at the moment and I'm deciding if I should transfer to Emory in the fall. But about your question:
It seems like so many ppl at BC are pre-med majors and I think alot of them would have preferred going to a higher ranked school like Cornell. Simply because of prestige. I'm surprised to hear people say that getting a 3.7 at BC is more valuable than at other top-notch schools, not sure why you'd say that. They all inflate grades.
Location wise, BC because Cornell is in a god-forsaken place.
Academics: BC is great, most of the people who teach you (note, not always professors) are good. They know their stuff and often know the people who wrote your textbooks, contributed or wrote them. I had one crappy teacher. You have to be on your guard for grad students, and I constantly have to hear the trials of tribulations of my pre-med friends not getting into a good/the right class. Not sure about cornell, but I'd imagine such a well-ranked school, especially for the sciences, would have very capable faculty.
I've always been all about ranks and reputation so, I'd go with Cornell. I probably wouldn't think twice. I have heard that getting OUT of Cornell with good grades is the hard part, so if you're surrounded by bright students then your life becomes a little harder I suppose.
Socially, I don't know about Cornell, but a BC student's idea of a party is frequently just sitting around getting drunk in someones room. Or the festivities surrounding their wonderful athletic program................:)
Hope I'm not too late, have u decided? Good luck.</p>
