<p>I graduated from Cornell's MAE bachelor's. </p>
<p>I guess I can simply do our own M.Eng program ... and considering Cornell actually has better engineering program, it wouldn't make so much sense to transfer to Princeton for M.eng. but i just wanted to figure out if this is possible at all.</p>
<p>So I was wondering how tough it'd be to get into Princeton or any other school's M.Eng program? </p>
<p>I know Cornell is very generous for its own undergraduates.</p>
<p>the only drawback is that my gpa is low. i have 3.0 gpa. only did one intern, one technical assistant school job, no researches.</p>
<p>From what I've seen, you'll have no problem getting into Cornell's M.Eng. program - is there a reason you'd rather go to Princeton's? Just for a change of pace (new location, people, etc)? Just curious.</p>
<p>I'd ask your advisor (at Cornell) to check into any past Cornell students who got into Princeton's program - it might be unlikely he/she personally had any advisees do it but somewhere along the line someone probably did.</p>
<p>yea. well, I thought I could use a fresh change of air after staying in ithaca for too long.. and considering i always wanted to goto Princeton, ...so I was wondering what my chance would be.</p>
<p>i mean, i don't know how tough it is to get into M.Eng program compared to, say, M.S program. I know admission to M.S/Ph.D program is much more competitive at Cornell compared to M.Eng (my advisor told me i will need gpa 3.8 if i want to even apply for that program - although i guess he was setting the bar too high)</p>
<p>so i don't want to be laughed at if it's so ridiculous to apply at princeton's m.eng w/ 3.0 when i ask professors for recommendations... so i was wondering what my chances would be</p>
<p>I'll assume you have some sort of friendly relationship with the professors you'd be asking for recommendations from - so ask them what they think (along with your advisor).</p>
