Hey guys,
I been looking all over the forums, but i couldnt find how cornell evaluate the international students, do they use the same method of regular students, or they have consideration of other countries limitations?.
Im from mexico and we dont have in highschools, well at least that i know of, ap classes and many student group councils and so on.
I also want to ask how important are highschool transcripts for transfer students, at highschool i had a 3.0 GPA (i know its bad), but i’ve been studying at the university for 3 semesters now with a GPA of 3.8, at one of mexicos top universities, i’m president of the corporate finance student group, i’ve done the Bloomberg certificate, Economatica certificate,Excel modeling certificate and I intend to lift my GPA as much as i can, and keep doing community service, etc…
Oh! and I played for the representative soccer team until my last year of highschool.(idk if that even counts)
Do you guys think i stand a chance?
On my admissions exams i did: Writing 720, Reading 700, Math 740
I speak English,Deutsch(a2) and basic Portugues. (Spanish as native language)

Just to finish how would you rank the AEM cornell program against the McCombs from UT Austin? And in wich one i stand a greater chance, since austin have alot of Mexicans?

Thank You!!
