missamericanpie: Thanks for the vote of confidence! I’ve heard much of the same about NYU, and while it’s still an excellent school, that’s one the main deterrents.

ironicallyunsure: Thanks for sharing your stats! I hope you enjoy Cornell this upcoming semester. Might I ask what you’d recommend the essays to focus on?

General question: I’ve been looking through some supplements and crafting responses, though I do have to ask:


When discussing reasons to transfer, and focusing on academics, is it prudent to weave in professors that I’d like to take a class from - say Larry Sabat at UVA, or any of his contemporaries at other universities.
Also, I believe it was in the Northwestern supplement that it asks to include the abstracts of relevant independent research experiences: does this include work with your current affiliated school, or is it restricted to truly independent work - such as Intel projects, etc.


Thanks, and as always, all comments are more than welcome.
