<p>I was thinking about applying to transfer from Colorado State University to Cornell. I want a slightly smaller school, small town, better education (I feel like I've gone retarded since entering college), same major (nutritional sciences). First of all, what are my chances?</p>
<p>HS GPA: 4.2 weighted, 3.98 unweighted (only 1 B, first semester of 9th grade)
ACT: 32, 33 the second time
SAT: kinda sucked, 1280
SAT II: 650 verbal, 680 math, 720 biology
College GPA: 3.824 (4.0 sciences)
College Extracurriculars:
-Member of Dean's Leadership Council/College of Applied Sciences Student Council
- Member of PreMed club
-Member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority
- Dean's List
- Had an essay published in CSU journal thing
- Intramurals
- Summer job</p>
<p>Second, what is life like at Cornell? How many nights do people usually go out? When you go out do you get absolutely plastered or is most everyone coherent? Do upper-classmen live on campus? If not, how far away is most of the off campus housing? How many students bring cars? </p>
<p>Thanks for any help!!! btw, i just finished my freshman year..</p>
<p>i don't think its that people are ignoring your thread. alot of us on here are incoming freshmen, like myself, or prospective students. perro and shizz might have some good advice, and normalkid i think.</p>
<p>all i can say to you is that you should call the admissions office and see if they can direct you to some transfer statistics.</p>
<p>life can be either good or bad. it's rigorous and demanding but students know how to have their fun. everything revolves around campus and the immediate surrounding areas. it's cold in the winter but youre from CO so you should be used to the snow.</p>
<p>party nights are thurs - saturday with the true alcoholics going out religiously on thurs and most people going out once or twice a week. most people do the frat party thing freshman year and some of soph. year and then they get tired of it unless they go greek themselves. the level of inebriation depends on you and your friends. i have friends that go out and get smashed and other friends that go out and dont drink much and they all have fun no matter what they do.</p>
<p>upper-classmen usually don't live on campus. about 1/3 of sophomores and only a handful of juniors and seniors stay on campus. it's different for transfer students and they have their own dorm on west campus (west campus is upperclassmen dorms and north campus is freshmen only).</p>
<p>off-campus housing isn't really far away. most people live in collegetown. it's anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes from campus, depending where in ctown you live. since you're in nutritional sciences, it would be a far walk no matter where you live. a good number, but not everyone brings a car. enough people bring them so that you can bum a ride easily if you need to.</p>
<p>I don't know what your chances are because it's a different ballgame for transfers. you have a good gpa and for some reason cornell likes to take in a lot of transfers, so my very uneducated guess is that you have a good shot at getting in. i dont think gamma phi beta has a chapter here by the way.</p>
