<p>I am going to be a freshman at the University of Wisconsin- Madison this fall and I want to transfer to Cornell. Here are my SATs: math 620, reading 630, writing 680. </p>
<p>My GPA is a 3.3 unweighted from a really good private school (ex: kids with 3.6's get in to cornell from my school)</p>
<p>If I get a 3.5+ at wisco do I have a chance</p>
<p>You should apply anyways, I have a friend who got accepted with a 2.8 GPA. I’m applying there as well, best of luck!</p>
<p>First of all, you didn’t state what school you will be applying to, what major, and specialization. All the schools in Cornell are quite different with respect to admission policies. If you were to say you were interested in Engineering, which is god awful competitive. Compared to Veterinary Medicine, which is arguably the easier to get accepted to than engineering. </p>
<p>Secondly, I believe that your Sats/acts/ etc have less of an impact at Cornell when transferring, and even more so when transferring as a junior.</p>
<p>Ummm…the College of Veterinary Medicine is a graduate-level school within Cornell that is one of the best in the country.</p>
<p>OP: in order to give you better advice, we need to know which of the undergrad colleges/major you’re interested in.</p>

<p>Thank you for stating the obvious dewdrop87. Nice attempt but I am well aware that the college of vet medicine is a graduate school. If you haven’t noticed. The OP is already a freshman in another institution. My statement still holds significant weight because DVM degree candidates can apply the second year of college as early admits. Which is probably going to be the same time frame that she would be applying to Cornell.</p>

<p>I also know this because I have Two friends that were accepted to the vet school from a 2 year community college.</p>
<p>And Campuscsi, Thanks for letting me know when I joined. Im not sure what it is your implying but my join date really has no bearing of my knowledge about Cornell admissions. So you may stop while your ahead. Some people like myself lead busy lives, have you thought about that?</p>
<p>And yes, im not trying to slam the school of Veterinary medicine. Its just a fact that the engineering school is by and large more competitive simply because Cornell is more known for engineering. Although there are other great schools in Cornell of equal caliber, you cant argue that engineering is the most competitive to get accepted to.</p>
<p>I am just trying to help, please don’t come here and assume that you know more than I do simply because you joined this forum before I did. Im just here to help the OP not to start arguments.</p>
<p>I am not saying that the Vet School is not a great school. Just not as competitive as the engineering school.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thank you for pointing that out. Believe it or not, I do know how to read.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>how so? Some numbers to back up your statement would be appreciated. Thx.</p>
<p>According to statistics, admit rate was 12% in 2008 for DVM, 22% for engineering.</p>
<p>Not meant to hijack the post, but if I decide to apply for the junior transfer
Does Cornell cares about my SAT scores???</p>
<p>Last time I heard , there were a couple engineering students that committed suicide this year, not a vet student. I guess the classes were too easy at the engineering school…</p>

<p>Not really, its the only ivy league school that I am aware of that doesnt take into consideration the sat scores at the junior level. They make the sat scores optional but not required. </p>
<p>However, it doesnt really make it any easier to get into. The admissions can be random at times. I hate to bring up the "I know a friend " cliche, but its true, I know of someone that was actually rejected by Cornell and accepted at Yale… How weird is that. Cornell is better any way but that just goes to show the nature of admissions at Cornell.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>some were engineering. Some were not.</p>
<p>in any event -
DVM enrollment: 335
Engineering enrollment: 3,051</p>
<p>stupid argument on your part</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>not really. If you took them, you have to submit them. There are only a handful of exceptions (Hotel may be optional, HumEc if you’re international, etc.).</p>
<p>And they will review them and consider them, but college GPA is far more important at this point.</p>
<p>Thank you for sharing!</p>
