From which colleges does Cornell accept most science students?

Hey everyone! I aspire to transfer to Cornell for my science studies at some point. This might be a long shot, but does anyone know if Cornell has a preference for accepting science students from certain colleges? Is there a trend? Thanks for the help!

Hi there! Although it would be great if we had a concrete answer for this, Cornell (like many other universities) doesn't indicate if there's a preference for students transferring from specific colleges. Their transfer selection process is comprehensive, considering numerous factors including academic achievement, fit with the chosen program, and personal characteristics.

What's compelling for admissions is not necessarily the reputation of the institution you're transferring from, but rather how you've maximized your academic and personal growth opportunities at your current institution. A strong GPA, together with rigorous coursework, will certainly help no matter where you're coming from.

Also, keep in mind, that Cornell assumes that you'll complete two years at your current school before transferring. They are keen on students demonstrating why they are specifically interested in Cornell and how transferring aligns with their academic and career goals.

For more precise input, consider reaching out to Cornell's admissions office to discuss your situation and aspirations. They could provide insights tailored to your scenario. Good luck with your plans!
