<p>After high school I have about a 3.4 or so. Senior year has been my best so far. I got about a 3.7/8. So obviously i cant get into an Ivy. But what would I have to do in college to get into a school like cornell. Besides getting a 4.0, which I know i will have to do. Also, I will be attending UConn, and I want to transfer after freshman year, but if thats I will also need suggestions for that. Thanks</p>
<p>Anyone…? I Really need some advice</p>
<p>Look at their website for specific information for transfer applicants. The best thing you can do is keep your GPA as close to 4.0 as possible that first semester (the only grades they’ll have).</p>
<p>Also, Cornell is an Ivy.</p>
<p>[Apply to this Cornell. Get in. Say you went to Cornell.](<a href=“http://cornellcollege.edu/”>http://cornellcollege.edu/</a>)</p>
<p>Don’t think this way. There is absolutely nothing you can do to be sure you’ll be able to transfer to an Ivy League, and going into college thinking only about how you need to get into Cornell is only going to make you miserable. Get good grades, seek out some extracurricular opportunities in areas related to your major, and if you still want to when application time rolls around try to transfer.</p>
<p>Transfering to Ivies is nearly impossible because they have such a high retention rate. I think it would be must more realistic for you to do really well at UConn for your undergraduate and then to apply to the Ivies for graduate school (if that is the path you want to take). And, as many of the posts all over CC have said, going to an Ivy will not make or break you. I am sure you will be just as success and just as happy (if not maybe happier) at uConn than at an Ivy.</p>
<p>This is an awkward question. Why do you want to go inside an ivy? In any case, since ivy is classified as an angiosperm and is of the genus hedera, it is known to creep and climb up branches or the sides of buildings. Your best bet is to go to temperate dissiduous climates where ivy is most prevalant. The northeast comes to mind. Find a building with ivy on it. Since ivy is pretty thick depending on how old it is, you should bring a different array of scissors. I suggest those big orange ones gardeners use. Cut a hole big enough for yourself and crouch inside. Congradulations, you’re now inside an ivy.</p>
<p>The reason I need to transfer is because I want to go into I-Banking and UConn isnt a target school, so it will be MUCH harder to get into that field if I dont go to a school where they recruit.</p>
<p>Aren’t there other well-respected I-Banking instutitions that they recruit from that you may have a better chance of transferring to?</p>
<p>Just do what you want throughout high school and then apply. If you really are a genuine Ivy-caliber applicant than you will just naturally acquire the required resume. I went through high school hoping to go to the University of Texas. In my junior year my biology teacher told me I should apply to better schools, I did and was eventually accepted. Why? Because I had accumulated the requisite qualifications by following my interests and that is how every person should approach high school.</p>
<p>My mother transferred from Northeastern to Cornell a million years ago (Class of 76). She just did really well at Northeastern, applied to a few places, and waited.</p>
<ol>
<li>GPA close to, if not, 4.0</li>
<li>Awesome recommendations</li>
<li>Being super involved at your current institution, particularly with leadership</li>
</ol>
<p>Cornell is a step in the right direction for banking recruitment, but within the ivy league it’s towards the bottom. It’s kind of out of the way in terms of recruiting, and there aren’t very many resources that would help you out. Also, I transferred out of Cornell this year, so obviously I would advise against applying there.</p>

<p>Why would you want to get into an Ivy? Sure you get great financial aid (if you’re poorer), and a nice shiny degree to land you a job, but the classes are sooo hard. A lot of people think “I’ll make it through, I’ll just suck it up and pass” and they don’t realize that everyone is thinking that. Then there’s a possibility of dropping out.</p>
<p>I know this is all anti college confidential “you must get into an ivy, do this and this and you’ll get in, don’t worry about afterwards” but you should pick a school based on fit. If UConn is a nice fit, then don’t worry about Cornell.</p>
