I don’t see many SHA students going on to IB jobs according to this data, and the average salary is on the lower end. My sense is that at least some of these students who went into IB had contacts in the industry that weren’t provided to them via Cornell career services. Here’s the 2019 placement data from SHA: Explore Careers | Careers for Undergraduates | Cornell Nolan
It looks like 11 or 12 students (the report isn’t too clear but… 223 students seeking FT employment * 96% who did find a job * 5.4% took an IB job, at an average salary of $82K). And as blossom says, SHA students will have to answer the questions she laid out.
What do you think OP’s transfer chances to Cornell SHA are? I can’t chance OP but their chances will be better trying to transfer after another year of a high GPA at Baruch then trying to transfer now with a sub 3.0 HS GPA (which will be a significant part of the transfer admissions decision for a current freshman). And yes, I understand that impact on internship timing. It’s tricky for sure.
