Transfering from Cornell

<p>I'm a sophomore at Cornell with a 3.3 GPA...and i want to transfer to Columbia...what are my chances and what can i do to increase my chances?</p>

<p>Why do you want to leave? That makes a big difference.</p>

<p>I really dont like the social life..I'm in a sorority and I hate it...I want to be in a city...</p>

<p>The best thing to do is get good grades.</p>

<p>What's your major at Cornell? Are you Engineering or CAS? Etc.</p>

<p>3.3 at Cornell is pretty good for an Engineer btw.</p>

<p>But definitely, the best thing for you to do is to raise your GPA</p>

<p>I'm not an eingineer...I'm pre-med...</p>

<p>also...how can i justify my reason for wanting to transfer?...is describing social life and my desire to be in the city enough?....further i hate the fact that as a premed science major in the school of human ecology...i have such a science focused curriculum..the school boasts that you still have a liberal arts education even if ur a bio major or whatever...but in reality this is far from the truth...the idea of the core curriculum sounds like something i'd really enjoy...plus the school is huge as is the student body...it's so overwhelming and i find it hard to make close relationships with professors because only a few of my classes are small..i often feel like a number....are any of these reasons legitimate...please help me...i have to get out of here...i'm really unhappy here!</p>

<p>Oh man, how I would love to have your spot at Cornell. I have a 3.4 and I'm not sure if I can get in...</p>

<p>"Oh man, how I would love to have your spot at Cornell...."</p>

<p>agree!</p>

<p>but to HELPMEPLEASEPLEASE, hope you end up where ever makes you happy.</p>

<p>If you are unhappy you should just go fro it. College is supposed to be a wonderful time in your life. Don't let yourself be unhappy....Just move on!</p>

<p>Yeah, definitely move on and hope for the best and try to get in wherever you want to go. That's my approach and right now it's working because I'm motivated to succeed.</p>

<p>bullseye11...where do you want to transfer to and from?</p>

<p>I am looking to transfer to Cornell or Brown, for two reasons. In the last few weeks I have fallen in love with Cornell. In high school, Brown was my dream school. I am currently going to Benedictine University, which is a school near my home which I commute from, but I'm determined to get out of home and live on my own in a more intellectually stimulating environment, as well as a place that is more fun socially.</p>
