Advice After Speaking to a Cornell Admissions Officer...

<p>

</p>

<p>Agreed. The transfer rate should be lower (by a significant amount too), but it’s actually higher. That makes no sense. 1 year of community college should by no means cover for 4 years of high school.</p>

<p>Also, the rates for CAS and Engineering are good enough (around 9-10% combined)…it’s some of the contract colleges that have rates of 30-45% that really shock me. A school like Cornell should NOT be accepting nearly half of its applicants, not to mention the majority of them are from CC’s and not peer institutions.</p>
