Cornell Transfer

Transfer Students

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I was wondering what my chances are of transferring to Cornell from Wake Forest University with a 3.3 GPA? Lately, I've been thinking a lot about 'what if' I went to a less difficult school than WF, which is known as 'Work Forest' and has the number 1 ranked business school in terms of academic quality/rigor. I can't help but think it may have hindered my chances of transferring to a school like Cornell. Would transferring from a difficult school like Wake carry any weight?</p>

<p>Regardless, I figured I would post on here to see if I had any shot:</p>

<p>-Would apply to ILR School as a Senior transfer
-3.3 GPA, Business & Enterprise Management Major at Wake Forest University
-Currently a Junior
-High School: 4.2 GPA, 30 ACT</p>

<p>I would apply for admission beginning the Fall semester of my Senior year. I realize this is very late in comparison to the average transfer student, and realize I would most likely have to stay at Cornell a few extra semesters or so.</p>

<p>Any and all responses are much appreciated!</p>

<p>it can’t hurt to apply…the gpa is low and its hard to say how aware adcom’s are regarding grade deflation. One question though…with one year to go why bother transferring?</p>

<p>You need to contact ILR directly, and ask if they accept senior transfers. They might not. If there are a few specific courses that you would like to take there, ask both ILR and Wake if you can take a “guest semester” or “guest year” there. That type of academic exchange may be possible.</p>

<p>You also might consider toughing out your last year at Wake and pursuing a graduate program in ILR.</p>
