<p>It depends where that 3.75 places her within her graduating class. Wouldn’t surprise me if she got into Cornell (good test scores) but neither would a rejection. </p>

<p>I know this is a Cornell forum and I’m biased but Cornell over Berkeley out of state is a no brainer. In fact I know multiple California residents who were paying in-state tuition at Berkeley who transferred to Cornell due to the increasingly worse funding situation at the California state schools that were affecting availability of classes and overall education quality.</p>
