<p>According to <a href=“Career Services | Student & Campus Life | Cornell University”>Career Services | Student & Campus Life | Cornell University;
it seems like having a good mcat and gpa gives you a very good chance. No other schools gave such a comprehensive breakdown and left in statistics about students of such poor credentials. They even left in stats about a guy with 3.2-3.39 gpa and 10-14 mcat!
You can’t really compare across school stats because some schools “screen” by having staff discourage students of lower caliber, and for sure that is not reported. Many students screen themselves, seeing how their stats compare to their peers or by losing interest in the premed path. This sort of unreported screenings happen in every school.
I’d say stick a year, see how things go. If you love engineering, chances are that you won’t transfer. Don’t try to overload yourself with harder classes though.
But seriously if you are afraid to commit yourself don’t come to cornell. you would not be worthy of being my competition.</p>
