<p>Hi I'm interested in applying to Cornell and was just wondering about a couple of things. If I'm from Cali and want to go to Cornell, and I have 30 IB credits, can I enter Cornell as a sophomore? Or does Cornell not accept IB credits? Second, does Cornell often give financial aid? Thank you!</p>
<p>Cornell only offers credit for some IB subjects that are listed on your college’s website. However, I don’t think you can just skip a year because you have IB credit. Some of my friends have tons of AP credit but they aren’t allowed to skip a year because Cornell requires you to take at least 12 Cornell credits per semester (for engineering). To answer your second question, Cornell is generous in giving aid to US nationals.</p>
