<p>Hey, I'm currently a freshman at Cornell (College of Engineering) and I'm thinking about transferring for next year because the tuition is too high. I don't want to spend so much money on undergraduate since I'm planning to go to medical school x</p>
<p>So I'm hoping to transfer to either a state school (NY residence) or a private school that will offer me a decent amount of merit scholarship</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on where I can transfer to?</p>
<p>Looking for a descent school...
- In northeast region (NY, PA, MA, region)
- With good bioengineering/biomedical engineering and environmental engineering
- Preferably in a city near a hospital (premed and hoping to get some clinic experience during school xP)</p>
<p>Some stats about me...
- SAT 1600/2330
- GPA (HS) 3.92 out of 4.0 (not sure about first semester at CU engineering hee hee hee xP)
- Lots of extracurricular (volunteer, work, clubs, sports) (Member of Cornell Tradition)
- Received a lot of awards for art and some math (and others) in HS </p>
<p>It would also be great if someone could give me a brief summary or tips about the process of transferring? (I'm still not sure about transferring so haven't looked into it much) </p>
<p>All help is greatly appreciated and thankies in advance! ^ ^</p>
<p>i think you would be good for admissions</p>
<p>but if you have a quick second can you please check out the last thread i posted and give me your opinion, it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>? I was looking for suggestions on Universities I can transfer to, not my chances of getting into them xP</p>
<p>But sure, I’ll look at your thread and hopefully be able to provide some helpful advice x3</p>
<p>UCONN has great programs. I applied for the engineering school their. You could do your graduate at Yale hospitals or something. I don’t know how that works or anything though. </p>
<p>That your UPENN if they have those programs. Those would be the two I would recommend from the N.E area off the top of my head.</p>
<p>Blazinbboy:: My most important factor is the tuition. I don’t think I’ll receive any scholarships for UPENN but does UCONN offer merit scholarships?</p>
<p>I found this link but it seems like merit based maybe only towards high school seniors?</p>
<p>[Scholarships</a> - UConn Student Financial Aid Services](<a href=“http://www.financialaid.uconn.edu/index.php/Scholarships]Scholarships”>Scholarships | Office of Student Financial Aid Services)</p>
<p>I texted a couple of my friends attending UCONN just now, one in mechanical engineering and the other in Economics, so I’ll respond with a little more helpful information shortly.</p>
<p>Well financial aid/scholarship and what UCONN gave them.</p>
<p>But depending on your situation, I bet they would give you some sort of merit scholarship. I could only say just call the Financial Aid office and see if that will help.</p>
<p>(UPDATE: well the MechE said he got like $900. He doesn’t qualify for financial aid because his father works at the nuclear power plant making $100k+. Its pretty much the same for the Econ major. His dad is an Operator making like $200k. Haha I guess I should have remembered that stuff since I work with them. D= )</p>
<p>Ahh thank you very much! <'3
My parent’s income doesn’t qualify me for financial aid so I’m hoping to transfer to a decent school that is either cheap or will give me a lot of scholarship
$900 isn’t very much though =\
But now I have a place to start looking at for schools xD</p>
<p>University of miami → I think they have transfer scholarships 16k -25k</p>
