<p>Hi,
I am currently a senior in high school and i did not apply to cornell because i didn't not think i have to chance to get in. I am planning to go to a SUNY (either geneseo or bingamton) and then try to transfer to cornell. I was wondering what I should do to make that possible.
Do SAT's and SATII still matter? (math:710, reading:650, writing:670 but no SATIIs) should I retake the them in college? Do high school GPA's still matter? (because myn was low,88)</p>
<p>also, i heard that cornell doesn't accept a lot of the credits when transferring, is that true? if so, how could i prevent that (ex. what classes should I take?)</p>

<p>You won’t lose credits unless you go over 60.</p>
<p>Your SAT scores and HS GPA matter more if you transfer in as a soph, a little less if you transfer as a junior.</p>
<p>Depends on what college you’re transferring into for both your chances and what classes to take. In CALS for example, there are certain classes you MUST take to be eligible to transfer, such as Intro Bio, English, Calculus 1+2, etc. Check it out online at each college’s transfer website.</p>

<p>Well…not entirely true. Yes, you can’t transfer more than 60 credits but also, if you have a course that doesn’t match up with anything that Cornell offers then the course won’t transfer and you’ll lose the credits.</p>
