<p>I've decided to set my mind on transferring to Cornell for my sophomore year in college.</p>
<p>I strongly believe that studying Biology at Cornell would be a better for me, and I'm really willing to take more coursework in college. Not only that, but I enjoy Cornell's campus; I prefer colder weather anyway, since I think better and sweat a lot less in chillier conditions anyway.</p>
<p>Enough about my reasons, anyway. By no means am I expecting a Guaranteed Transfer (or it's called Transfer Option now, right?), of course. However, I'm completely set on transferring to CALS, by any means.</p>
<p>Is there a certain way I can do this? Are there any undergraduate colleges which have programs designed for prospective transfer students? Or should I simply go to X college, get a good GPA, and apply by the transfer application deadline to CALS?</p>
<p>Additionally, how difficult will it be to transfer to General Biological Sciences at CALS? Will I be treated differently if I were to do so?</p>
<p>In high school, my major weakness was not planning ahead until junior year of high school. Sure, I was rejected from CALS ED just recently, but I have to move forward.</p>
<p>Transfer students, anybody, I could use some help!</p>
<p>The college that I am transferring from has an articulation agreement with CALS that offers guaranteed admissions into certain majors. I believe Biology, due to how competitive it is, is not guaranteed, but you are given more of a leg up coming from a community college with the agreement.
Several people from my college have used it, and all you really have to do it get x gpa, to y classes and express interest and fit for the major and you are in.</p>
<p>Just make sure you take ALL the required classes and try to knock out as classes that are encouraged as you can.</p>
<p>How often can I reapply to transfer? I think I’ll be trying every semester if need be.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve looked at previous transfer threads. It looks like the accepted applicants tended to have some extraordinary quality, like a 4.0 GPA in high school or founded a research organization.</p>
<p>How difficult will it be? Is there any way I can increase my chances in college? Especially since I want to major in General Biological Sciences, would rolling admissions mean I have to wait for a couple prestigious spots open up? Or is it a separate process altogether?</p>
<p>I want to prep as much as I can to get accepted, but I really dunno how besides getting a good college GPA, essays. Do I need some sort of crazy EC?</p>
