<p>How hard is it to transfer to cornell from a four year college maybe like emory or washington? and is it possible to transfer after the first year?</p>

<p>its rough, but doable. it’s the most transfer-friendly of the ivies, but it’s still an ivy. you’d still need to do really well, have good ECs, and write really solid essays. and yes, it’s possible to transfer after one year, but they’ll look at your HS stats heavily.</p>

<p>^^^I think that’s the best answer you’re going to get. Additionally, the difficulty also depends on which college you apply to at Cornell. </p>

<p>List of Cornell’s undergrad colleges:
Engineering
Architecture, Art and Planning
Human Ecology
Industrial and Labor Relations
Arts and Sciences
Agriculture and Life Sciences
Hotel Administration</p>

<p>thanks for the replies. So If i am trying to trasfer after my freshman year…If I didn’t get in to Cornell because my highschool stats sucked…I am not likely to get in as a transfer either since they rely heavily on HS stats…:(</p>

<p>Hey Lifegr,
Cheer up. Its not the only thing that they see. Your EC and your college year results count a lot too. Just give it a sincere try.</p>

<p>Best of luck
Cheers!</p>

<p>The transfer acceptance rate is like 30%…</p>

<p>It’s not too difficult, just stay away from CAS and try NOT to have a 4.0. For some reason, they don’t seem to like that</p>

9

<p>the 30% acceptance rate is inflated by internal transfers and GTs. your essays will be really important, so make sure you do your research and you show that you really belong at the school.</p>

<p>30% transfer rate is mis-leading. </p>

<p>Why do you say try not to get a 4.0? Because there were a few people rejected with a 4.0? I’m sure there are good reasons for why they were rejected. Like number of credits or classes taken. GPA isn’t everything.</p>
