I have been offered practically full rides at both.
I have also been offered a Transfer Option to Cornell (InfoSci at CALS).
I plan on taking that it unless I really like the school I’m at; positive that I’ll transfer though.
I need to maintain a 3.0; Where should I attend?
I don’t seem to fit the class profile for either school [1920 SATs / Top of My Class / Asian / Poor / STEM Prospect].
However, I feel like I’d fit in more at Colgate and Colgate did offer me a full ride (I pay absolutely nothing) but I don’t really know how I feel about the Core curriculum there nor do I know how I feel about how severe the grade deflation I keep hearing about (as I really might want to transfer, Cornell or not). I like the idea of having an Open curriculum but I can’t really figure out what Hamilton’s average undergraduate GPA is as much as I tried to find it (I also have to pay a couple thousand more). It might sound like I should be happy with where I’m at right now but the GT offer by Cornell is just too good to pass and I feel like I’d fit better at a bigger school with the options of engineering.
Essentially, where should I go if I want to maintain at least a 3.0 that’s practically guaranteed given that I put in the work? The issue I have right now is that I live too far to visit and right now, I’d like to pick the school I’d feel the most at home at while being able to keep my options open by having a 3.0+.
