EOP Program at Cornell

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Hi, I applied to Cornell ED and was wondering about the EOP program for CALS. I do have some questions about the EOP program and Cornell in general. </p>

<p>1) Is it true that there is an academic "requirement" for the EOP program at CALS? If so what are they?
2) How are EOP students notified that they have been accepted?
3) How many students on average are accepted into the program as an undergrad for CALS?
4) What are the average SAT and GPA scores for CALS EOP?
5) Do I stand any chance at CALS EOP?
- My GPA is a 90 w and a CR + M SAT score of 1170 and with an ACT composite of 25. (If it matters I am Korean)<br>
6) If any current EOP student is reading this, could you please tell me your experiences as a student? </p>

<p>Sorry for the number of questions I asked. I'm very nervous!!!</p>

<p>I have no idea. However, you cr +m may be a little high. Usually eop is for students who need academic help and have lower grades than what you posted. Contact the school’s eop office to find out the exact criteria.</p>

My stats are slightly lower than the average, but then again I’ve heard you need a minimum GPA of 91.</p>

<p>Doesn’t seem to be a lot of info on the web and there may not be many EOP students here on CC. My reading of [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.oadi.cornell.edu/heop/prospective/faq.cfm]FAQs[/url”&gt;http://www.oadi.cornell.edu/heop/prospective/faq.cfm]FAQs[/url</a>] and other things here on CC and elsewhere is this: if you are already strong academically at a challenging school you probably wouldn’t qualify. This is a program designed to support students who have potential but might need help coming up to speed. For example they may not have taken AP courses (maybe they weren’t even offered!) so aren’t used to college-level courses. One of the benefits is that they (apparently) pay for you to attend a summer session and that helps you transition. </p>

<p>As holmesx3 suggests, just email one of the admissions officers in CALS and ask if they can share guidelines. As with everything, there may not be hard cut-offs either high or low. They probably don’t share the avg scores because it probably matters more what kind of opportunities you had in high school.</p>
