<p>I just was offered a guaranteed transfer but I have a few questions.</p>
<p>1) If I accept the offer does that mean I have to transfer after 1 year?</p>
<p>2) Would you reccomend serving the year at an easier school where I know i can get the minimum gpa or should I risk going to UCLA?</p>

<h1>1, if u read ur packet, its not binding so no, u do not have to transfer if u don’t want to.</h1>
<p>and #2, i’m in a similar situation; i think i will attend berkeley for one year b/c i’d so much rather go to berkeley than a community college or easy school, even though it would be easier to get a good gpa at a local school/community college. </p>
<p>btw, you should join the facebook group, cornell university guaranteed transfer 2014.</p>
<p>As an ILR graduate student, I suggest that you worry less about G.P.A. than your own intellectual development. UCLA will get you acquainted with dealing with brilliant minds and challenging work. If it costs you a few tenths of a point on G.P.A., it will balance out by creating a smoother transition to a competitive school like Cornell.</p>
<p>The last thing you want is an effortless 4.0 at an easy school, only to come to Cornell and have to abruptly adapt to a new work ethic. Don’t underestimate the value of gradual, rather than sudden, changes. Also, don’t underestimate how demotivating it can be to go to an “easy” school. Being around peers who don’t challenge you can be frustrating.</p>
<p>My biggest problem is that I am trying to choose between emory and the cornell gt. Is it worth it to go to emory and then take the gt if i dont like it or should i just go to a cheaper school (ucla) before cornell?</p>
<p>I’m really thinking about doing it. I got the thing about transferring in my online notification, but have yet to get the letter in the mail. Does anyone know where they are going to go next year? I’m thinking about SUNY Binghamton but am wondering if it would be worth it to go to an “easier” school to be safer with meeting the required GPA.</p>
<p>I think I am going to go to emory next year. I will complete the GT requirements just so that it is still an option, but unless I hate emory I will most likely not complete the transfer</p>
<p>Hamilton. I love it but ILR was my first choice originally so I will probably transfer.</p>
<p>Does your gpa automatically transfer to cornell? Or is it only some classes’ grades will transfer/you start fresh at cornell?</p>
<p>your GPA does not transfer
but classes that you received at least a C in do</p>
<p>Is it bad that I still haven’t gotten a physical letter in the mail about this? I got an email from CALS about the transfer option…</p>
<p>And absolutely no GPA is transferred? You just get credit for classes you do better than a C in?</p>
