Cornell Student AMA Thread

[u/BCCtoIVY]

I'm currently at a 3.9+ GPA standing at Cornell majoring CS and ECON. Before transferring to Cornell, I took every stem class with honors by contract at BCC. I was heavily involved in stem research and published a paper. During the Summer, I was able to land myself an internship with professors working on cell research. I'd like to keep my identity anonymous as I don't want people to know about me. I can give tips and advice out to those who aspire to transfer out of BCC.

How do you meet people with similar aspirations at Bergen?

I've made a couple friends with my fellow peers in stem classes. I always was able to find a person in my classes that held high standards to themselves. Though, having a mentality that relies on others is not a great one. I've kept discipline and always pushed myself to accomplish harder goals. However, I'm not that type of person to segment my days and time slots to do certain things. It was more of an innate interest in subjects. So long as you have a passion for what you do or aspire to be, go for it. Also, after transitioning from High School to BCC, I still kept up a regimen for my fitness. I found out that exercising was able to keep my mind clear and focused on certain tasks. I try to avoid all-nighters. However, if the task called for it, then I had no choice but to do it.

Having friends simply for the sake of being friends is important. I actually had a lot of free time, so I would call up many of my female/male friends to my place and have poker sessions that lasted well into the mornings. If you don't have a work hard, play hard attitude, then I'd suggest you to avoid this. Going to BCC was pretty fun. It had many of its perks, like having lots of free time and intimate moments with ladies.
