Freshman Transfer

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I'm a freshman history major at Boston University and I'm interested in transfering to Cornell next semester. I know that Cornell's website discourages freshmen transfers but I have seriously considered Cornell in the past and was even going to apply ED there but didn't think I had the grades to get in. I ended up applying ED to BU which turned out to be the wrong choice. So I was wondering if anyone's ever tried to transfer as a freshman or if that's even possible.</p>

<p>SATS: 2010
Unweighted High School GPA: 3.65 (i think)</p>

<p>if they discourage freshman transfers, I would HIGHLY suggest applying to transfer in fall of '09</p>

<p>Your stats are so good! Why not just give it a shot?</p>

<p>^ I wouldn't go that far...</p>

<p>i'd agree that my stats aren't THAT good (which is the reason I didn't apply ED in the first place) but i think I'll call the admissions office and talk to them. the worst they could do is reject me.</p>

<p>Apply to ILR as a transfer because it has a 60% admissions rate.</p>

<p>When do ILR transfer applicants receive an admission decision?</p>
