<p>@ayek13 I don’t know I got financial aid the day after my acceptance, but if I were you I would call them</p>
<p>@giantsfan0824 I got a call from Ian last week, and was finally able to log on to the decision.applyyourself website on tuesday. The financial aid office sent me an email saying my aid package was available on wednesday. If you just got the call from Ian today, I think you will hear back from financial aid next week. </p>
<p>Congrats to both of you</p>
<p>Accepted to ILR…got the call from Ian Thursday evening 
Patiently awaiting official acceptance and FA. Hopefully it’s decent</p>
<p>I submitted the enrollment deposit to my second choice school literally one day before I got the call (it was due May 1), so it looks like I’ll be out $300, so I guess that’s one downside of getting accepted lol</p>
<p>@shockastrika83 That sucks but I think its worth the price 
</p>
<p>Anyone here in AEM not guaranteed? My friends getting worried. </p>
<p>@ballislife123 Yeah I’m not a GT, I got in 4/22. More decisions should be coming for AEM, looks like only one wave went out so far. That’s just a guess though</p>
<p>Transferring to CALS in the fall, anyone else? Looking to make some connections I’m from the Netherlands. PM</p>
<p>Any other ILR transfers can message me, would be nice to try to get to know some people before arriving 
</p>
<p>If we all decide to attend we should all meet up at Cornell!
is there already a transfer orientation? or is that freshmen as well </p>
<p>Does anybody’s financial aid to do list say verify with the IRS? I’m not really sure that’s about since I imported the info using the irs data retrieval tool or whatever it’s called on the fafsa </p>
<p>Also, do you guys have any idea what the difference between a transfer student and a first-year student is? I was checking out the housing policies, and it says that transfer students who qualify as first-year students will be placed in first-year housing. Aren’t all transfer students technically “first-year students,” as it is the first year we will be attending? I was looking forward to getting to live on West Campus; I don’t wanna have to room with freshmen. </p>
<p>@shockastrika83, If you are currently in college and is attending in the fall, then your a transfer. Your a first year if you are currently in high school. I think most transfer students are put into west campus housing, which I think is the better on campus living choice. </p>
<p>@concerto95 That’s what I figured, I just wonder how a “transfer” can also qualify as a “first-year.” </p>
<p>Still no fin aid…I am getting scared… </p>
<p>@shockastrika83 I think it depends on the number of credits you have. If you’re currently a freshman in college but all of your credits do not transfer then it is possible you are considered a first-year student (freshman) and not an upperclassman. That being said I do not think Cornell usually accepts students if they do no have the appropriate credits for their major to transfer. As long as you have enough credits, you are fine.</p>
<p>New AEM admit checkin in here!</p>
<p>I also totally think we should all meet up at Cornell, that would e awesome!! Let’s do it!</p>
<p>Accepted into AEM!!</p>
<p>s/o to my fellow AEMers</p>
<p>I think we should meet together and probably start a Cornell chapter for Tau Sigma fraternity. It exists specifically for transfer students who make a 3.5 (or above) GPA in the first semester at their new transfer institution (in our case, Cornell).</p>
