i am currently a sophomore ece major and feel as though it would be somewhat difficult to transfer to cornell/columbia after your freshman year. freshman courses generally are intro level general requirements, and may not help your chances that much. more importantly, it’s hard to get a strong letter of recommendation in your first year while trying to balance everything out. You should realize traveling to pittsburgh is not much more expensive than cornell, i do not believe cornell’s engineering school is public, so i’m unsure as to the cost factor.

academically cmu ece is very, very strong, but also very flexible, so you do have the option of graduating early if cost is an issue. feel free to msg me. thanks.
