<p>I might get good recommendations from my professors and am writing a sincere essay because I really want to go to Cornell.
But I’m still not confident enough because my high school stats are low… :((
Should I just wait until junior year or second semester of sophomore year?? (So I can have more time to study and get good grades this semester instead of preparing for the application)
Also, Should I not send the SAT/ACT/AP scores that are too low since they are not required??</p>

<p>Chance me please!! </p>

<p>Major: Communication (College of Agriculture & Life Science)
School: University of Oregon
GPA: 3.92
Credits: 16.00
HS GPA: 3.56 (3.72 weighted)

<p>I’m a legacy and I made Dean’s List this fall.</p>

<p>Fingers crossed that I can pull this off. Good luck to everyone.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if it matters when we submit the application? I’m applying for CAS, would I get an advantage submitting my app two or three weeks early?</p>

<p>Hi everyone, here are my stats. Everyone else looks excellent with their resume and application I don’t think I have a shot of being admitted but I’m going to go for it anyways. Really wish the best of luck to everyone applying! Anyways:</p>

<p>Applying: CALS- Food Science (Sophomore Transfer)</p>

<p>Current School: University of Minnesota- Twin Cities</p>

<p>Current GPA: 3.81</p>

<p>Credits: 16 Last Semester, 18 This Semester</p>

<p>High School GPA: I did the IB programme and scored a 32</p>

<p>SAT: Not Required, TOEFL: 110 (International Student from Indonesia)</p>

<p>EC: College- Research with a Professor and Graduate Student, Project Food Security Committee, Students Against Hunger Volunteer, Indonesian Student Association Head of Logistics, Worked at Food Company in Indonesia. High School- Varsity Basketball, Varsity Rugby, Vice President of School Support Committee, Captain of Debate Team.</p>

<p>Comments: I’ve actually taken some more challenging sophomore level courses such as O-Chem I&II & Microbiology but have not completed easier subjects like Chem I&II or Introductory Biology which is a prerequisite so I think that will be held against me along with my high school grades. I feel like it would be a miracle for me to get in…
Again, Good Luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Has anyone submitted their application yet? I may be submitting mine in this coming week. </p>

<p>I submitted mine as a Spring 2014 applicant and was deferred. I have not gotten any emails requesting additional information yet, which may mean that processing of applicants is still in the early stages for transfers.</p>
