it’s not easier to get in as a transfer… first off, transfer numbers are grossly inflated by the number of GTs and internal transfers they take. my college, humec, for example, says they took 61 transfer applicants out of 170 for the fall. guess what? 22 were internal transfers, another 20 were GTs. less than 20 of those 61 were actually external transfers. they still reject tons and tons of 4.0s. next, it’s easier to articulate your reasons for wanting to study at cornell as a transfer. it’s still difficult to get in.

OP, CAS is extremely selective even with transfers; possibly more so than with freshmen. what was your intended major? if you are thinking about transferring in the future, PM me and i’ll try to help you out. don’t feel too discouraged… i was rejected and then accepted, so you never know
