<p>I am a freshmen at biz program at Drexel University, anticipated GPA is 3.8+
High school: 3.3 (public) gpa, Sat: 670m, 570v, 650 w [i know]</p>
<ul>
<li>Online business getting set up (good potential)</li>
<li>Research w/ business professors</li>
<li>100+ community service after high school for R.C.</li>
<li>Own newsletter </li>
</ul>
<p>What are my chances: Georgetown, Nyu (stern), Cornell (business program), or state schools?</p>
<p>FYI...Drexel to Ivy is not impossible. I transferred from Drexel to Columbia. I was in the BS/MD program at Drexel last year, majoring in Biomedical Engineering. First term I had a 3.84, and 2nd and 3rd terms I had a 4.0. This was all in tDEC, of course. Keep working hard. I know that Cornell is near impossible to get into for transfer. Not really sure about NYU, although so many people leave NYU because of the cost that it makes me think they have plenty of spots open. I'm not the person to comment on business schools though, because I'm not a business major.</p>
<p>cornell isn't even close to near impossible to get in for transfer.</p>
<p>arts and sciences had a big drop in acceptance rate last year, but cornell's transfer acceptance rate is somewhere in the 30+% range</p>
<p>EDIT: i didn't read the "business program" thing, i don't know anything specifically about transfer admittance to the business program, maybe that section of the school is near impossible</p>
<p>layla/ what was your stat in high school(sat and stuff)
would you mind sharing your stats with us?</p>
<p>Cornell's transfer acceptance rate seems really high because of all the kids they guarantee transfer to. Otherwise, it's really low. Check out some Cornell Transfer Fall 06 threads if you don't believe me.</p>
<p>In HS I was 11th in a class of 500, 1470 SAT, 730/730/690 SAT IIs (Writing, Math I, Chem). I also worked in a Columbia lab the summer after HS, which I'm sure helped matters.</p>
<p>i know cornell rejects alot of good applicants, but this anecdotal evidence doesn't reflect the fact that they have a high % of transfer students admitted</p>

<p>cornell accepts a TON of transfers, 700+ last year, i don't know if guranteed transfers are included in this number or not, i don't even know if they have to formally apply through the same process as everyone else</p>
<p>by the way 702/2011 is a 35% acceptance rate</p>
<p>Over half of the people in that figure are guaranteed transfer students.</p>

<p>This is always a big debate. I actually spoke with someone from Cornell and received data for the Fall 2006 transfer statistics split up by school. CAS remains insanely difficult to transfer into, accepting only 8% of applicants. You'll find that many of the applicants to Cornell on CC were denied admission, but most people's majors also fall into CAS.</p>
<p>CALS, on the other hand (which is where Applied Economics & Management is taught) has a 50% acceptance rate. This is excluding "special students," which I was informed are guaranteed transfers. </p>
<p>We've gone over this a couple times and I've actually got the printout of Fall 2006 transfer rates by school...I believe it's still on the internet, and I know the link is in one of the past threads. I'll try to find it and post it on here.</p>
