<p>Well, well, I may have a case of transferitis.</p>
<p>My freshman year I attended the University of Montana. Mainly because of an athletic scholarship. Continually, for my sophomore year, I made my way over to the University of Minnesota. I like it there, but I am very, very interested in Cornell's PAM program.</p>
<p>Because I will have transfered twice, I feel as if Cornell may be a bit worried about admitting me.</p>
<p>Anyway, I have a competitive GPA, excellent writing skills, and good soft factors.</p>
<p>I realize it is too late to be accepted for the Fall 2011 semester, but is it worth trying to transfer into the Spring 2012 semester -- I mean, I would be a senior the next year...</p>
<p>Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice for me?</p>
<p>At Cornell? No, their admissions deadline has already passed. I don’t know their procedures that well, but I highly doubt they offer spring junior admissions. Most places don’t.</p>
<p>I suppose if you really, really wanted to, you could take a gap year and apply to enter as a junior in 2012. But I don’t know how advisable that is, given that transferring two times doesn’t look good and it’s hard to get into Cornell anyway.</p>
<p>Which college do you want to transfer into at Cornell? There may be different admissions policies for CALS or HUMEC than for CAS. Check the website and see what you find out.</p>
<p>My best advice to you would be to take a gap year. Go abroad or work. You obviously don’t know what you want if you want to transfer again. It’s not really a bad thing, you just haven’t really found what you want yet. During your gap year, apply to Cornell and if you get in and still want to go, then go.</p>
<p>Seriously, Just stay at the UofM…it’s a really good school in the CITIES versus Cornell= middle of nowhere You could always apply for jobs, internships & grad school elsewhere It’s totally not worth it to leave the “U” now…it’s such a pain and you have too many credits :/</p>
<p>I like Cornell because of their PAM program, whereas at Minnesota I am stuck with choosing Econ or Political Science. PAM seems to be a mixture of applicable, real-world type classes.</p>
<p>eastafrobeauty, I could attend Cornell for cheaper than the U.</p>
<p>if you take a gap year maybe you should look into applying to other schools as well. im not an econ girl so i dont know much about that but im sure you could find lots of advice about places to apply</p>
<p>no way! that’s so cool b/c I like econ + poli science too…but If I had to pick it would definitely be econ w/ a minor in Poli sc. I think I should also look into that program :)</p>
<p>i mean like, you could always apply…there’s no harm …</p>
<p>I really think you should consider taking the year off to re-evaluate, earn some money, and build up your application with interesting work experience and ECs. It seems like it would be awfully hard to come in second semester of Junior year–you barely have a year before College is essentially over. I’m transferring Sophomore year and I already feel like I’ve missed out on a lot.</p>
