| As a teacher at NCC (OP knows who we are), I can say that our transfer rate is excellent. However, transferring is easier if you actually finish the AA degree, which is 66 credits, so it's a big commitment.
Cornell might not transfer in all of Farmingdale's credits.
And if you didn't apply for guaranteed transfer (I know kids who did and then went) you can't count on it.
Make sure you look at the situation from all angles. What if you are not accepted to Cornell? Where would you rather be?
And there are other options as well. NYU takes many, many transfers from CC's (special program, almost automatic) and so does Columbia's School of General Studies.
I know you are in love with this one program, and it is an excellent program, but it is just packaging. There are many other programs that would allow you to put together a similar array of courses to learn the same thing, just without the title.
Good luck. |
