<p>Is it easyer to get into CALS than Cornell Engineering as a transfer student? Looking at the 2006 figures, I see that my chances would be better if I applied to Agriculture. Also, if I do get accepted to CALS, how hard would it be to transfer to Engineering?</p>
<p>Well the statistics are somewhat deceiving considering many of those students at CALS were GUARANTEED transfers.</p>
<p>huh??? doctab, how do you know this?</p>
<p>Haha due to tons and tons of research. CALS includes guaranteed transfers in their statistics of accepted transfer students.</p>
<p>You can even call them and ask.</p>
<p>…Applicants… Acceptances
…Men…Women…Total…Men Women Total
Agriculture & Life Sciences …257…242…499…127…127…254
Engineering…229…62…291…69…22…91</p>
<p>Aren’t there “guaranteed transfer” in Engineering as well?</p>
<p>cataxxx, How old are those statistics ?</p>
<p>Isn’t the Cornell acceptance rate around 25% now ?</p>
<p>Well, these are the statistics from the 2006 transfers.</p>
<p>Do you think it’d be easier to get into CAS when your interests/strengths are probably more geared towards Engineering? Trying to “game” the system almost never works.</p>
<p>CALS, not CAS</p>
<p>Whatever, its the same idea. Apply to the school that fits you best.</p>
