Hello all I am a prospective transfer student applying to Cornell University specifically the college of engineering. As regards to the midterm report, I have been going around to professors to get them to sign the Midterm Report Required by the common application; however, one thing is worrying me. Most of my grades are A’s/A+'s but in one of my classes the professor only took our only exam score and used that to measure our performance without a curve or taking into account our homework grades. So as a result of that my grade was not that great (C/D)
So is this a bad thing for me?
You can’t make a prof curve grades, however, it would be worth it to ask him to include your homework grades so far. Otherwise, the test by itself isn’t an accurate reflection of how you’ve done.
@onceuponamom Alright I will ask the professor to take homework into consideration. Thanks for the help
And if he is a difficult character, just approach it from a rational perspective. The form wants a reflection of how you are doing overall. Good luck.
