Starting as a freshman WITH credits??

<p>So for the ILR school, it is possible to earn transferable credits (as long as it is not more than 12 credits) from a compatible community college right? I graduated HS, never attended CC before, but after all this hectic college application material/tests , I will start going to a local CC to take a few courses.</p>

<p>However I contacted the school before and they said that they recommend me to take Stat. after I go to ILR (assuming I make it). </p>

<p>Have any students had experience with this? (I'm also assuming that for those that took AP Stat., Stat was no longer required of them in Cornell ILR)</p>

<p>Can I get my Macro/Micro, Stat, and a few other general courses done at a local CC, so that when I go to Cornell, I will have more electives and time to spend elsewhere?</p>

<p>Make absolutely sure that Cornell will accept those CC credits before you take classes. I wanted to take intro chemistry courses over the summer at a CC that has an articulation agreement with Cornell, and Cornell would not accept those credits as major requirements – they’d take them as elective credits only. I ended up taking the same courses at a local private university instead, and that was AFTER providing Cornell with the courses’ syllabus, instructor names (for course and lab), and textbook name for approval. I’m not a chemistry major, but my academic department made me get approval from Cornell’s Chemistry department before I could register for the other school’s classes. So, just make sure you have all your bases covered and everything approved in writing before you take classes somewhere else.</p>

<p>Do you mean for example:</p>

<ol>
<li>Find out if Cornell accepts the CC’s course(s)</li>
<li>Make sure there is proof that Cornell will accept the course from the CC by requesting an official from Cornell to write me something?</li>
<li>Take course if accepted.</li>
</ol>

<p>Also, to clarify what I said in my original post:</p>

<p>“However I contacted the school before and they said that they recommend me to take Stat. after I go to ILR (assuming I make it).”</p>

<p>By the “school” I mean that I contacted ILR before and that is what they said. </p>

<p>Just want to clarify that so you all don’t think I mean the CC when I say school.</p>
