<p>Calc for business wont transfer to any of the schools you listed</p>

<p>Does being a New York resident increase chances for transferring to Cornell?
Is there any other colleges I have a chance of transferring with my stats?
Thank You</p>

<p>Well, it depends on the college you want to transfer into within those schools. I'd say accepted to Cornell ILR (since the acceptance rate is about 60%, your courses are a good preparation for it, and you're in-state). Don't know much about NYU Stern, but I'm guessing it'll be slightly harder to get into. Northwestern's acceptance rate is 22% last year, not sure about Georgetown's (I think roughly 25% but I could be wrong).</p>

<p>In short, in order of selectivity, given that all are "good fits" (least to greatest):
Cornell ILR
NYU Stern
Georgetown
Northwestern</p>

<p>I cant believe you got reject from cornell Ilr. Wth? That's just random! considering NU is more selective than cornell ilr.</p>

<p>When admissions committees meet for transfers...they really take "improvement" into consideration! </p>

<p>I have no idea bout the colleges you listed! but you improved so that should help!</p>

<p>Hey bubbles, we're in similar boats. How'd you find your research opportunity, if you don't mind my asking?</p>

52

<p>Hey you just gotta look around. Try calling the hospital ask for volunteer opportunities. If you qualify for work study, look into a department you would be interested in working in, give them a call.</p>

53

<p>I forgot to mention in post 39 (my stats post) that I'm extremely low-income, non-URM, and my final class rank in HS was top 17% (slipped from #1 over the years).</p>
