<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I chose to attend the University of Connecticut in the fall of this year, as an electrical engineer. Let me preface this question with the following: I was NOT a good student in high school. I felt like things were a bit easy and I got very lazy. I don't remember studying for much other than maybe an AP midterm or final. I graduated high school with a 90/100 (essentially a 3.5) and a 31 ACT (34 math). I felt that I could have done much better if I had applied myself, but all of that is behind me now. </p>
<p>I am not dissatisfied with the level of education at UConn, and next year I plan on transferring into the honors school. You need a 3.4 minimum to apply and based on how my first 3 exams have gone (Calc 2: 94, Gen Chem: 98, CSE intro to matlab: 96) I feel that I should be a good amount above that. I have promised myself that I would harder and it has paid of so far.</p>
<p>MY QUESTION:
If I could choose between UConn honors (I'm OOS if you were wondering about finances) and transferring to Cornell next year, what would you choose and why?</p>
<p>*Just an added wrinkle, I am part of the UConn eurotech program. This is a program that makes me a dual major, Engineer/German Studies, and my senior year I will live in Germany, taking classes in the fall semester and working for 6 months starting after Winter break. Consider this if you were in my shoes. I know it's early but I am trying to figure it out and some other opinions would be great.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Oh, and I'll say this just because I know someone will mention it; I understand that classes will get hard. I think i can get an A in most or all of my fist semester classes. When responding, assume I do well and assume I would get into Cornell. Their engineering program says a competitive applicant is around a B+/A- with no lower than a B in core engineering classes.</p>
