<p>Hey so I am a Guaranteed Transfer to ILR after 1 year. I'm 100% sure that I'll be using the option, only I'm having a tough time deciding on where to go next year. Here are my choices:</p>
<p>NYU
University of Rochester
Northeastern
BU
American
Emerson
Binghamton
Geneseo</p>
<p>As of right now I am thinking Binghamton, but I'm having second thoughts. I don't think NYU would be a good idea, since I was admitted to Steinhardt for Communication, and I don't think the curriculum will allow me to take the courses I need for ILR. The same goes for Emerson and American, so I'm crossing those off the list. I hear BU has grade deflation, so it wouldn't make sense to go there. I would love to go to U of R next year, only I feel as if I might get attached and the course work will be a lot harder than somewhere like Binghamton. Everyone is telling me to go to Binghamton since I'll be saving a lot of money and it will be easier to get the grades I need to transfer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Personally...I recommend Binghamton. It's an amazingly good school and many of the Gen Ed requirements for Bing will fulfill various requirements for ILR. Plus, you'll save a lot of money which always a bonus :-)</p>
<p>U of R is a good school...I almost went there but I didn't like the campus much. You should take some time to visit Bing and Rochester (even if you've already been) so you can make a final choice. Good luck!</p>
<p>I also recommend Binghamton, but be warned....We know of at least 3 students who attended this past year with the GT to Cornell and have decided not to leave Bing..........They really love it there, are doing extremely well in their classes and have made great friends....</p>
<p>I think that Binghamton is actually on some Cornell list for great schools to do the 1st year before the GT....All of the courses apparently transfer......</p>
<p>I've visited Binghamton before and I thought it was okay, and I'm going back to visit this week. I know for a fact that I will not fall in love with it and want to stay. I understand that people will change their mind once they get settled but I personally am pretty sure that I will not get too settled at Bing. I feel as if I'll like it enough to be there for a year, but not spend my whole 4 years there. I've wanted to go to Cornell since freshman year of HS, so I'm pretty sure that I won't get too attached since I'll probably wake up every day thinking about being at Cornell next year. Thanks for your suggestions!</p>
<p>Just a piece of advice: don't be too miserable at Bing. Do try to get involved in some activities or will be a long year. And try to have some fun while you're there!</p>
<p>How many GT's does ILR give out? Seriously, does anybody have any idea close to what percentage they actually deny, b/c I am yet to hear about one kid being denied by ILR (and I have posted this question about 3 times). Obviously, this isn't a problem, but I am just interested.</p>
<p>I'm in the same position as the OP. I got a GT to ILR for Fall 2009. I am definitely pursuing this option, but I need to find a temporary home. I am choosing among:
American
Binghamton
Fordham Honors
McGill
NYU GSP
Stony Brook</p>
<p>Right now, I'd pretty much be satisfied at attending all these options for all four years, but Cornell is, by far, my #1, so I am basing my decision on which school will ensure that my GT remains guaranteed, but will still give me a great education. How would you rank these schools in terms of grade inflation/deflation?</p>
<p>i think bing and stony brook are the only good options.
McGill is in canada and has grade deflation
NYU is really expensive
don know about American or Fordham</p>
<p>I'd recommend to spend it at the state school, just because it'll save you so much money out of a normal four-year Cornell tuition without compromising a solid and educational first year at college.</p>
<p>Ya I'd say Bing is one of schools that most gt's come from. It's a realllllly fun school and the best suny (ps SUNY is CHEAP!) so I'd recommend it even tho I kno absolutely nothing about it lol. Congrats on getting a GT!</p>
<p>Could someone please share some more insight into this GT option for cornell ILR, im just a junior so i still havent applied yet but cornell ilr is definatly my #1 option (had two uncles go who loved it). I really wouldnt mind going to bing for my first year (im an nys resident) and would GT make getting into ILR much easier. Would it give me a better chance than say if i were to apply ED. Im really lost as too what are the specifics of this option.</p>
<p>I'm a guaranteed transfer to the Hotel School and am from right outside of Chicago, IL. My options are somewhat limited:</p>
<p>Marquette
Seton Hall
Northeastern
Elmhurst College, Dominican, Benedictine, Bradley (all local ones)</p>
<p>I would love to go some where local but I don't know if the local ones Cornell would credit? I have a nice scholarship to Seton Hall...would that be a better bet?</p>
<p>As long as the university is accredited, Cornell will accept the transfer credit.</p>
<p>Go where you think you will be happy for a year...and if Seton Hall gave you a good scholarship, consider taking advantage of it and save some money for a year :-)</p>
<p>what do most people who come out of ILR pursue? I also got a GT, there but I'm thinking about majoring in business.. I'd have to give up USC or CAL</p>
