Cornell Transfer

Transfer Students

<p>I've noticed that there are many people on this forum who have been accepted to Cornell as a transfer or are considering transferring there. I'm applying for transfer there for Fall 2009, but I am unsure which major to apply to. I'm interested in economics (I'm also pre-med) and I've been looking at both the Applied Economics and Management major and the Industrial and Labor Relations major. Does anyone have any advice on this topic? Also, is there a statistical advantage in admissions if I apply to one over the other? Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Keep in mind that many of the acceptances on that pdf were guaranteed transfers, particulary ILR and CALS. The numbers for those two schools are heavily skewed.</p>

<p>Transfer chance for fall '09, CALS:</p>

<p>I am a freshman at Berkeley.</p>

<p>My HS stats
Competitive school
GPA: 3.7/4
ACT: 35/36
Sat II: Math II 800, US His 770, Chem 750
AP scholar with distinction</p>

<p>EC:
Medical research during 10, 11 summer
JVP in Tennis for 3 years
NHS
President of SCAR club for 11, 12
Math club 9-12
Worked for UN during summer of 11 grade
Youth group leader 11, 12</p>

<p>I got 5 in AP bio and 4 in eng lit/comp.</p>

<p>Will I get waived for bio 1 and 2, and get 1 writing waived as transfer requirements?
How serious is Cornell about the transfer applicant meeting CALS requirements.</p>

<p>Comments welocme.</p>

<p>First off, don't steal other people's threads. Make your own thread (do this by clicking the button on the top right). Also, if you want your chances you might want to include your college GPA, kind of important...</p>

<p>Redsox: Statistically, ILR would have a higher acceptance rate but the two programs are distinct from each other. Apply to the one that appeals to you more. It'll be very obvious in the essays if you apply to a program that isn't your top choice.</p>

<p>My apologies redsoxgirl. Not done intentionally. By mistake.</p>

<p>My college GPA: 3.9/4</p>

<p>Thanks again.</p>

<p>Also, my college EC:</p>

<p>Undergraduate research
Habitat for humanity
SAT Math Tutoring
UNESCO</p>

<p>The AEM program is definitely way harder to get into</p>
