Berkeley vs Cornell?

<p>^I haven’t applied yet (will probably apply next semester when my GPA is higher thanks to this wonderful semester) but my RA (Resident Assistant) said that it depends. There are some apply-to research and internship positions and she said most of those are given to candidates for high GPAs, but you can also take independent initiative to search down labs and research areas that you like and email the professors/GSI’s in change of that area of research and ask if you could assist them since it’s a field of interest to you. In some of those cases, GPA may not be as important as interest or prior experience in the field. Good Luck!</p>
