Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I'm a freshman at a liberal arts college and have applied to CALS as an undecided environmental major and an environmental engineering major (if I can get into it.) Does anyone know how hard it is to transfer into these majors? I know some majors don't have a lot of space for transfers..
I'm dying to get into this major, I was the president of an environmental chemistry club for three years in high school and my college has a really poor environmental studies curriculum. </p>

<p>Also, I have two siblings that went to Cornell (both as undergrads, one continued to get his masters.) And I live in NY, would either of these things slightly increase my shot at getting in ? Thank you!</p>

<p>I think that the fact that your siblings went to Cornell will definitly help, as to the major space I'm not sure, but check out this Cornell website with facts!</p>

<p>Good Luck! I hope you get in! I'll be applying too, as a transfer for the next spring semester :)</p>

<p>Does anyone have any information about CALS majors? If I'm reading the information correctly CALS accepted 51% of external transfers last year? That seems kind of high... I'm interested in the natural resources major, anyone know anything about it?</p>
