<p>I would like to know some questions about transferring and also some basic questions about Cornell. At first I would like to know what Cornell looks at in a transfer student.</p>
<p>Currently: I go to Georgia State University and I am a current Biology Major (Freshman). I have a 3.94 GPA :( <-- Cause I got an A- in political science-_-.</p>
<p>ECS : I volunteer at Grady Hospital and I am planning on joining clubs ( didn't get extremely involved because I was a poor High School Student and I wanted to change my life around and the first semester was a sort of experiment to see how much I could accomplish. )</p>
<p>One basic question is does Cornell look at my High School/SATs when I am transferring after my 2nd year of college? </p>
<p>I would also like feedback about what I should do and I would also like some honesty (tell me if I even have a chance or not. )</p>
<p>they’ll look at them, but they won’t matter as much as long as you’ve improved a lot in college. since you’re a bio major, i suggest really researching all the bio programs offered because you’ll need to show why [insert particular bio major] in your essay to show you really know what you want.</p>
<p>Do you have any particular ECs that would look really good for me? What I mean by that is that I am already doing some ECs related to my major but other than that, is there anything extra I should do?</p>
<p>and I just want to know if I have a good or bad chance at getting in if I fulfill my intentions.</p>
<p>another question is that many people are applying for CALS but what is the specific difference between applying for CALS and the college of arts and sciences? I am looking to go into the pre-med field and I did some research but can anyone tell me which option is better?</p>
<p>if they’re related, they’re probably pretty good choices already. if you can get involved in research, that could only help, but isn’t necessary. </p>
<p>your gpa is really solid, so if you’re applying for junior year, your HS will matter less. </p>
<p>both CAS and CALS will prepare you well for medical school. if you’re a NYS resident, CALS will have a lower tuition. if you’re not, then the differences are within the programs themselves. check online to see course requirements/offerings and what each college emphasizes. also, CAS is harder to get into than CALS overall.</p>
<p>Thank You for your help 
if there is any other advice then go ahead and post I will be checking back on this from time to time.</p>
