<p>"Do you know of any junior transfer that studied abroad for a semester?"</p>
<p>I knew several junior transfers, but none could seem to fit study abroad into their schedules. It's just too hectic to fit it all in 2 years. My sophomore friends, on the other hand, all seemed to study abroad. </p>
<p>University statistics show that roughly 5% of the 700 students fail wines each semester (it was in an article last year). In sheer numbers, this certainly is the most failed class. However, keep in mind that the students taking the class are mostly seniors, and many of them don't give a hoot about studying a bit for earning that "pass" in a 2 credit course.</p>
<p>I wonder how that F reflects on grad school admissions. If the adcoms have to choose between two Cornellians with similar files, they may just opt for the student with the P in Wines. ;)</p>
<p>That's really disheartening. I possibly could squeeze it in if ILR accepted more than 9 credits for a semester abroad (I could get in a lot more at Oxford, for example, with 2 sessions in the spring.) Anyway, what about minoring in say, econ? Do you think that's possible for junior trans?</p>
<p>You'll likely already be accepted to grad school or already have a job lined up before that F for wines gets out. And it wont go into your GPA, the only way they'd see is by viewing an official transcript - something that employers usually do well after the job offer. </p>
<p>It'd be very tough to minor in econ as a junior ILR transfer. Most likely not going to happen. You'll need at least 2 semesters just to get the ILR requirements out of the way, by then you'll be in your final year on campus where you'll have to go out on a huge stretch to fit in all of the classes for econ.</p>
