<p>1) do u get good need based aid at Cornell for transfers?(my EFC=0 so i wud need a LOT of $ )
2) do any of these colleges have a guranteed transfer policy(like they make me sign a contract stating that if i maintain a certain minimum GPA I can transfer in so n so year ?
3) is there a specific year in which u have to transfer to them (minimum credits?) ?
4)Do I have any chances of gettin into any of them if my high-school stats are counted too(say if i transfer after fresman year) ????</p>
