@CU123 I did some research and it seems that ~75% of Cornell transfers had the guaranteed transfer option. So, that’s still 200 who didn’t. I don’t plan to apply to CS because I know how competitive it is. I’ll probably apply to information science in CALS at Cornell. I know plenty of people who transferred to one of the Cornell contract colleges. It may not be CS, but a Cornell degree is still a Cornell degree.
@ucbalumnus Then this means that my transfer GPA will be ~3.75 if I apply as a freshman. This includes my first two semesters at UCI and my dual-enrollment courses from high school. have I know that this GPA puts me well out of range for CS, but it seems well within range for applied mathematics. Do you by chance know if it’s competitive enough for data science. And will they consider the upward trend? Thanks!
