Has anyone here trasferred after 1 year to Cornell?

<p>I go to Northeastern, I entered this spring, for the architecture program. I am really liking it here, but with the budget being this high I feel like I should take advantage of this opportunity to pay for a good school.
I was really average in high school and honestly overall surprised that Northeastern accepted me. I got really good grades this year, giving my best at every single class.
My only concern is: my high school grades + my SAT scores aren't competitive.
I read the info. for transfer students that want to apply to Cornell at their website and they did mention high school grades and SAT scores, this is why I am so worried.
Any advice?</p>

<p>Personally, I would after 2 years of college (with 3.5+ GPA minimum, mind you) if your HS and SAT stats aren’t reasonably competitive with Cornell’s freshmen class.</p>

<p>I would throw your hat in the ring this year, because I think they are always in need of architecture students at C.</p>

<p>I didn’t see the architecture mention. While the architecture program puts much less emphasis on grades, admissions is much more competitive. Have a superb portfolio. The freshmen class is only about 50-60 and transfer students are exceedingly rare.</p>

They are not.</p>

<p>Many students are able to successfully transfer to Cornell after one year (I was one of them). However, those students tend to have a strong high school record. If your HS record is weak, it might be in your best interest to complete two years are your current institution. The HS record for sophomore applicants plays a very small role in the admission decision.</p>

<p>That being said, admission to the AAP program is very competitive. When I transferred to Cornell, I managed to meet just about every transfer student in my dorm (almost 200) and only one of them was an AAP student.</p>

<p>AAP is like impossible to get into… i don’t know for fall '10, but fall '09 they took 2 students. also you have to stay 5 years because studios don’t transfer over, so if you’re ready to pay for the 5 years and don’t mind being in school, then go for it</p>
