Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Hey, my brother who is a Sophomore at Cornell, wanted to know transfer chances into Yale (im an incoming freshman at Cornell, btw and im not transferring).</p>

<p>Freshman Year:
First Semester GPA: 3.9
Second Semester GPA: 3.4
Total: 3.6 ish</p>

<p>SATs (do these matter anymore?):
760V, 720M, 730W</p>

<p>HS ECs: TONS of leadership and awards (dont know if these matter)</p>

<p>College ECs: not much...a few clubs...a few awards here and there</p>

<p>I understand it may be hard to say, but since he's coming from another ivy, would it give him better chances?</p>

<p>Why does he want to transfer?</p>

<p>The 3.4 second semester is going to hurt him.</p>

<p>Cornell is a perfectly good school. I agree that the 3.4 would probably kill his chances.</p>

<p>FYI, I only knew the freshman year GPAs of a two transfer students, but they were upwards of 3.9 from USNWR top 25 schools. While you can transfer in as a junior, it is MUCH more common to transfer in as a sophomore.</p>
