Transfer Question

<p>What would be a good GPA for someone transfering after two years at a state university? This would be for a French or Business major.</p>

<p>I'll say no less then 3.5.</p>

<p>Excellent, do they care about courses that someone retook? Like if someone had an F or a D and retook it and replaced it with an A but still had a D or an F on the transcript?</p>

<p>I'm sure it looks very bad that you failed some class and had to retake it...</p>

<p>i just transferred from a public school (UCLA) into Cornell ILR with a 3.86. The admissions committee expects at least a B+ average, but the closer to 4.0 the better obviously.</p>

<p>admissions will require at least a B+ in order to be considered. Though this seems rather low, it gives some students at harder schools an advantage. For instance, a 3.4 at UChicago will blow away the student with a 3.4 at a random state school. Every transfer student I know had at least a 3.8 or above from their previous school. </p>

<p>Tpeck - it depends on what course it is in. If you first got a D in bio and then an A, but you're applying for a bio major, i think it'd be really tough to gain admission unless you had some sort of tradgety that you can explain to admissions. If it was in a random elective it might work against you, but i'm not sure how much.</p>

<p>It was in Math. :(</p>

<p>Does Cornell require SAT's for transfers?</p>

<p>yes; i believe you self-report your HS scores.</p>

<p>is there anyway i can get around sending my amazingly good 1060 SAT score to Cornell, or am i pretty much screwed over in that deparment. (This will be for junior transfer)</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure you have to send it.</p>
