<p>Transfer from Purdue Electrical Engineering honors program to operation research and industrial engineering program in UCB, Cornell or Northwestern. This is my 3rd year at purdue and I am currently doing one year Co-Op/ internship at Technicolor as a business technology analyst from 08/2010 to 05/2011. So I finished two-year courses at Purdue.
--HS: GPA 98/100, rank: 10/400</p>

<p>--SAT: CR:600, M:750, W: 600 (Pretty bad, took back in 2007)</p>

<p>--College GPA: 3.8</p>

<p>--Work experience: 1, Summer consulting internship in Accenture.
2, Co-Op business analyst in Technicolor for 9 months.
3, Physics TA</p>

<p>--Research experience: 1, One journal nano paper was published in last year, 2nd author
2, worked with another professor on signal processing on financial<br>
application.</p>

<p>--Recommendation letters: 1, from the professor who was my nano research mentor
2, my honor program head professor</p>

<p>--ECs: much volunteer work, VP for one school consulting group and many other clubs.</p>

<p>I know my SAT is bad and college GPA is not great either. But i just wonder how much my work experience, research experience, rec letter and ECs will help?
PS: UCB and Cornell does not require SAT for transfer, I think I won't submit SAT for both.</p>

<p>3.8 isn’t great? lol I like modest people like you.</p>

<p>You definitely have a decent chance for UCB and Cornell. You might need to take the SAT again for northwestern since your score is too old.</p>

Thanks for your advice, most people who are applying Cornell engineering have very high GPA. Hope my work and research experience can help.</p>
