<p>i just got a mail from cornell saying that they'll give me a "guaranteed transfer" if i manage a 3.2 gpa at an accredited instituion.</p>
<p>i plan on going to nyu this fall, and major in economics/math, but i was wondering if it was worth transfering to cornell next year?</p>
<p>Are you from New York? If so, you'd be getting a big tuition break by transferring. But you have time to make the decision. If you are happy at NYU, then don't transfer.</p>
<p>That tuition break only applies in CALS, ILR and HumEc.</p>
<p>Go to NYU for a year and then decide after. See how you like it and if the school fits your wants and needs.</p>
<p>Yeah, but if he has a guaranteed transfer, he is in one of those schools. Only the contract colleges give guaranteed transfers.</p>
<p>Thats not true, my friend got GT to CAS</p>
<p>Hey y17k, how the devil did you get a letter from them saying they would take you in with 3.2?</p>
<p>its 3.0 for alot of people...its for GT, not for freshman admissions. Also, 3.2 is low, but my HS GPA wasnt much higher.</p>
<p>Unless Cornell changed its policy from that in effect in 2002, a guaranteed transfer also required no grade under a 3.0.</p>
<p>hrm so is this GT thing kinda uncommon~</p>
