<p>How difficult is it?
I've gotten into Ithaca and I figure since they are in the same city and Ithaca College offers "exchange" programs to Cornell so that would be a good opportunity to get to know professors and assimilate myself.</p>
<p>But if there are any transfers, let me know. Cornell is my dreammmm school and I'm pretty positive I'm going to be rejected as a Fall 2008 Freshie. :I</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>umm..same city? that doesn't matter a bit! keep your grades up and have something interesting about you, it worked for my sister. she got into cornell despite a low SAT and ok GPA. Her art portfolio was amazing, so keep that in mind</p>
<p>i would need to know more but you would be making a HUGE mistake if you went all the way from california to ithaca college with the hopes of transferring, besides im pretty sure schools like ithaca are quite expensive
you dont have to be nearby to get in!</p>
<p>I've been accepted to two liberal arts schools.
First choice might be Chapman university in Orange. The problem with going there is that it's extremely close to home--about a 20 minute drive. The education is very personal, though, with professors getting to know students very well. Tiny, tiny class sizes. My cousin went through the finance education and now is working at one of the top accounting firms in CA.</p>
<p>My second choice is Ithaca. I don't know how well the business program is but I heard it was accredited. Even without transferring to Cornell, I would be happier to attend Ithaca despite the below zero temperatures and the fact that it's across the nation. </p>
<p>in the end, I'm looking at both schools academically as well as how happy I would be there. I like Chapman for it's small class sizes with U.S. News saying that the school size is "medium" whereas Ithaca is "large" so I dunno how much attention I would receive from professors. Plus with the aspect of being closer to an ivy might make me either really depressed or really wanting to work for it. hahaha.</p>
<p>Anyways, it's a tough choice. :O</p>
<p>If you plan on transferring, do not go to Ithaca. Not a good decision to waste that much money.</p>
<p>honestly, i think you will regret going too far; in hs i wanted to go as far away as possible. i think you should stick to chapman, and just work hard and know that you always have that option of applying to ivies</p>
<p>I agree with Defrasne...even if you are 20 minutes from home you will only go home when you want to. If you are all the way across the country, it won't be as many times as you may think, i know from personal experience.</p>
<p>Ithaca (the town) is the most boring place ever...be forewarned (coming from a cornell student whos transferring out)</p>
