<p>I was already accepted as a freshman. I want out of Cornell badly and would like to go Penn, Columbia, Brown, NW (accepted already), or Chicago.</p>
<p>I actually wanted to go, long story, I spoke with my admissions rep, and she said chicago takes virtually everyone they took as a freshman for transfer so long they don't fail out, that was her exact words.</p>
<p>97 GPA, 1450 SAT, 3 SAT II 700+</p>
<p>Cornell is mad hard</p>
<p>expecting like a 3.4-3.6</p>
<p>anyone....</p>
<p>I haven't a clue what transfer statistics are, but you seem to have a good shot. Why do you want to leave Cornell so badly? Is it the workload?</p>
<p>According to USNWR, Chicago admitted 27% of transfers in 2008. The fact that you were already accepted as a freshman probably does make a difference.</p>
<p>I know that if a Chicago student transfers to another school, and it doesn't work out, Chicago will let the student come back as long as the grades are there.</p>
<p>bball87, I'm struck by this statement: "Cornell is mad hard." Chicago isn't going to be any less hard; it could possibly be harder. If this is the main reason you want to transfer, then I recommend that you give Cornell more of a chance, and you seek ways to adjust to the workload. It sometimes takes a while, and high levels of organization, to get into the rhythm of college.</p>
<p>Cornell has a reputation for being a tough school. I read in one of the guidebooks that it's the easiest Ivy to get into and the toughest to get out of.</p>
<p>However, I suspect that Chicago is just as tough.</p>
<p>If you can get a 3.4-3.6 in a "mad hard" school. What's the reason for transferring? I hope there are other factors.</p>
<p>Do you have any other stats on transfer admissions.. </p>
<p>Average test scores
Average GPA
Etc.. ?</p>
<p>actually...i was saying that b/c my GPA would only be 3.4-3.6, probably near a 3.6.</p>
<p>I can handle the workload. I just prefer the intellectual environment at Chicago to Cornell, both equally as good.</p>
