<p>I have not yet paid my Cornell application fee. But I realized that they require a mid term report and mine will NOT be up to application snuff, i.e. I’ll have:</p>
<p>C in Calculus
A- in Chemistry
A in both Soph. Lits
A in Chem Lab
A and A- in the Senior Econs</p>
<p>Should I go ahead with it, or skip over it?</p>
<p>My other stats are available on CC somewhere or I think I have a stats profile. And does anyone know how competitive NWestern is for transfer admission?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Thats tough, I would say if you went through all the work of getting your stuff ready and have sent in the app you might as well try. Its not as though you are completely ruled out of the process (although that C might kill you), crazier things have happened. Also, I dont beleive the midterm grade report has to be sent in till March 30th so maybe you’ll have the oppurtunity to bump that calc grade up by than?</p>
<p>how serious are you about cornell? what school are you planning on applying to? i know that CAS is really competitive, but if its something you really want, go for it. if you feel that the rest of your application is really strong, then you might as well pay the application fee. it would be better to know than to wonder…but if you think that you dont have a chnace based on your essays or 1st semester grades, then don’t bother.</p>
<p>Lol Cornell is your #1 choice, right? Or is it? I wonder…</p>
<p>Anyways, if it really is and you’ve gone through all this trouble, there’s no reason not to apply and see how it goes. Your grade in Calculus is set for now and there’s no way to change it, but I wouldn’t let it stop you from trying to Cornell. </p>
<p>Northwestern is pretty competitive, like 20-25%? They at least don’t require the app till May 1st so you’d have time to bring the grade up.</p>
<p>wow, ur stats are awesome
gl 
where are you now?</p>
<p>Well, I think I’m probably applying to the most least applied program in CALS: International Agriculture and Rural Development. </p>
<p>I’m at a tier 4 school in Houston, but so far I’ll either be in Austin or St. Louis next year.</p>
<p>And my Cal II grade suffered after I received my first admissions letter so that midterm…pshaw.</p>
<p>My Cornell supplementary essay pretty much rocks the house.</p>
<p>Send it. If you really like the school, you’ll want to know the outcome regardless.</p>
<p>Best of luck, though :).</p>
<p>do they check to verify those midterm gradeS?</p>
<p>Well, I’m not planning on lying…but I could beef up the Calc grade by convincing my TA (chill, doesn’t care about anything) to put my recitation grade which is an A. Maybe, I’ll do that? Haha…</p>
