cnfsdbrownie09 - no I’m sorry if I made it look bleak, it’s not. I was just trying to give you some advice as a transfer applicant who was sort of in your shoes a year ago. If you were close to getting into Cornell as a HS student, you will likely get in as a transfer, and lots of people go to State U’s and transfer in after 1-2 years. I’m just saying it might not be the smartest choice to pick a college that’s at the bottom of your list for the sake of transferring to another school. My advice is go to a college you like - maybe your 2nd/3rd choice if you got in - and try it out there, then transfer if you like.

dontno - No with 3 semesters, you’re thinking of Junior transfer, aren’t you? Soph transfer usually refers to applying Freshman year (Apps due in March) for Soph year so they only see 1 semester + Midterm grades. Unless you did Mid-year Soph transfer in which they’ll see 2 semesters + Midterm grades. But for them to see 3 full semesters, you’re talking about transferring in as a Junior.
