Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Hi, I'm currently in McGill Electrical Engineering</p>

<p>3.75 GPA first semester:
General Chemistry 1: A
Intro to Computing: A
Environmental Management: A
Vectors, Matrices and Geometry: A-
Honours Classical Mechanics: B (But it's an out-of-faculty honours course and is infamous for its punishing difficulty)</p>

<p>Mid-terms in second semester so far:
General Chemistry 2: 100% (30/30)
Electric Circuits: 90% (4th in class)
Intro to the Eng. Profession: 65% (it's a stupid 1-credit class)
Intermediate Calculus: 94%
ODEs and Linear Algebra: most probably above 90%</p>

<p>Activities:
High school: Distinction University Research - Bronze Medal National Level.
Dance Society - Lots of community performances
University: Second place Innovative Design Competition
Member of McGill Space Elevator Team</p>

<p>SAT: I didn't take any.
Essays: Very geeky about my passion for research.
Evaluation letter: good but from an environmental prof.
Recommendation letter: boring, but from a prof graduated from MIT.</p>

<p>I'm applying to transfer to Cornell Electrical Engineering. Do I stand any chance at all???
Thank you for your comments!</p>

<p>Yes, of course. You stand a very good chance.</p>

<p>looks pretty good except: what standardized tests do you have? take the sats and some sat II math/physics.</p>

<p>I had Cambridge Advanced-Levels Exam: AAABCD. It’s not exceptionally good but certainly not bad either. Do those count as standardized tests? I don’t really have time to prepare for the SATs now. Do you think SATs contribute a great deal to the application?</p>
