Cornell transfer?

Transfer Students

<p>I come from a top 50 business school, I have a 3.2ish gpa and had a 4.0 gpa in highschool and I am looking at a transfer as a junior. Great EC, will have great essay, great ref letter etc.</p>

<p>I know they say 3.0 cut off and I have no clue how they will convert my gpa, because my school uses a retarded gpa system that only uses A and A+, B and B+ etc. My main concern is not even my grades (even though it is 3.2 I have a bit of As so they will see the courses I did bad in where retarded electives like East asian music) it is the fact that they ask for someone like the dean of your school or an academic adviser to fill out all this information.</p>

<p>I'm kind of scared to ask because well to put it nicely the people in my school adminstration basically hate my guts and want to do everything to screw me over and have been trying to do so since I filed a lawsuit against them for sexual harassment (don't ask for any details on this it is already complicated enough). Basically they are retaliating because I am suing them and they have recently told me that they are de-enrolling me from the school at the end of summer term because they claimed that I submitted a doctors note for an exam I was sick for 12 hours too late even though the dean sent an email to everybody that said no doctors note were even required for missed exams because of h1n1.</p>

<p>The prof. submitted my grade as incomplete so I don't even know if it is possible to transfer. While I can appeal the decision of de-enrollment to a comittee, the committee is going to probably be stacked with a bunch of yes men hired by the dean I would imagine and 1 student rep. At this trying to transfer out before they put a failure on my transcript. If they do kick me out though, then I don't even think I could transfer anywhere because of the incomplete which could become and F in a lousy 3 week course. I'm considering just starting over and applying as a freshmen if i get the boot.
What do you guys think? I am not even stuck on cornell, I'd be willing to go lower like rochester or ross, i just don't want end up with no degree or having to start from 1st year again</p>

<p>well, i definitely wouldn’t use epithets like “■■■■■■■■” in your application or interview. pretty offensive.</p>

<p>I don’t mean to pile it on for you, but when you have such a complicated circumstance trying to get into an ivy league school should be far back on the backburner. It sounds like you’ve got to get in somewhere for next year, you’re probably going to have to aim lower.</p>

<p>i don’t think cornell’s going to be possible. putting your situation aside, a 3.2 isn’t cornell material. i know some people who got in with 3.3s and 3.4s, but those are only a few people, and that’s still higher than what you’ve got. and since you’re coming from a business school, i’m going to guess that you’re applying as an AEM major, and that’s one of the most competitive majors at cornell, so you’d need to be pretty stellar to get in.</p>

<p>hey ironic i am aiming for hotel management actually, think i have shot there. what do you think is the most likely one for me to get into if any.</p>

<p>I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure Cornell’s Hotel Management is ranked at the very, very top.</p>

<p>can you wait another semester to bring that gpa up? that way you can also take summer classes plus have another semester’s worth of grades to show that you’re serious. the hotel school isn’t any easier to get into. they really like to see relevant ECs so unless you have a lot of experience in the industry, i would advise against applying to the hotel school over aem. but seriously, if you can take some fluff classes during the summer to boost that gpa, i strongly recommend it.</p>

<p>I guess the best thing you can do is explain your situation and hope for the best.</p>

<p>I would assume that the ivies typically don’t give anyone south of a 3.5 much of a chance…they probably weed them out right off the bat. You can try though…but don’t get your hopes up.</p>
