Cornell, UMich... Do I stand a chance?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I go to a decent public college (tier 2).</p>

<p>College GPA: 4.0 with 20 credits. After this semester, expecting a 4.0 with 36 credits.</p>

<p>College courseload: In honors program. Most of my classes are and were 3000-level. Three of my 36 credits are satisfactory/unsatisfactory rather than graded.</p>

<p>HS GPA: barely in the top third of class</p>

<p>SAT: 1310. Should I retake? Should I take ACT? Should I take SAT IIs?</p>

<p>APs: Of the ten I took in high school, I took eight exams and passed four with 4, 4, 3, 3.</p>

<p>ECs, awards: decent</p>

<p>Recs: will be really good</p>

<p>I plan to apply for transfer with 45 credits.</p>

<p>Do I stand a chance at schools like Cornell and UMich? What other schools do you recommend?</p>

<p>I don't know much about UMich, but for Cornell it depends on the school you are applying to, with A&S (Arts and Sciences) being the most difficult to transfer into.</p>

<p>How come no one responds to my threads?</p>

<p>yes...............................</p>

<p>1310 / 2400? 1310 / 1600?</p>

<p>What was your high school GPA? </p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance at University of Michigan</p>

<p>I can't say the same for Cornell just by going off of "decent" for recs and awards. </p>

<p>I had a friend who got rejected to Cornell as a freshmen, with a 4.0 in high school, 36 ACT, amazing recs (hospital work, volunteering, state celloist, state runner, and wrote for the newspaper)</p>

<p>It all depends on the school you're applying at Cornell.</p>
