I just started attending a university in my home country, but I want to apply to Cornell as a first-year student. Is this possible?
You must apply to Cornell as a transfer student if you’ve graduated from high school and have earned 12 or more credits at another college or university since then. If you are enrolled as a full-time student at another institution, you are also considered a transfer applicant.
Please be sure to review the Transfer Application Checklist for more information about Cornell's requirements. The International Students website may be a helpful resource as well.
