<p>Congratulations, good luck at Cornell in the coming years. I have yet to hear from 3 of the 4 schools I applied to, but I think I'll be attending Dartmouth next fall. I have to respond by next Monday (I expect all three decisions this week), good luck to all who have not heard, and congrats to those who have chosen to attend.</p>

<p>I have received a letter from CALS today regarding to my acceptance of transfer. However, when I checked the cornell admissions page, it keeps on saying "Cornell has not yet made a decision on your application. Please continue to check this site for decision information. Thank you!"
I feel weired and I guess like previous years, Cornell is sending acceptance letters to students by mistake.
Does anybody have similar situation?</p>
<p>nairda, congradulations! That means you are in pretty much for certain! With transfers, there tends to be a delay in updating your online stats page, so I wouldn't worry about that. Again congrats, good job!</p>
<p>Accepted to CALS for Bio. I still have two schools to hear from, but I'm considering attending. I'm going for a visit this week.</p>
<p>where do you send ur final transcript?</p>
<p>To the admissions office of the school that you applied. Really! =)</p>
<p>i thought that you sent them your final transcript when you actually went over there to start school.</p>
<p>do you have to send it in before hand?</p>
<p>hnbui, thanks for sharing your finaid info. I hope that mine will be similar.</p>
<p>I called the finaid office today and they did not have my info yet =(</p>
<p>Uhm, I would think that they would want it asap to make sure that you finished your semester well. Anyhow I sent mine in when I was sending it to another school. I am still undecided about Cornell.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone!</p>
<p>Anyone know if Transfer have summer reading like freshmen? They said in another thread that it was "Things Fall Apart"...any idea?</p>
<p>Ha? What? Summer reading? I would imagine that in college you do your own summer reading =)</p>
<p>Its something you read so that you can do group discussions during orientation.</p>
<p>During orientation? I could think of a million other things that I would be interested in talking about at that time. Ok I am sorry I am getting a laugh out of this right now. I really did not see anything regarding summer readings in any official Cornell papers that I have been receiving (mail is not summer reading). Than again, I guess it could depend on each school. What are they going to do if you don't read, give you an F for orientation?</p>
<p>Hmm, you're a transfer student are you not?</p>
<p>I mean, that's what I did at my during my freshman orientation...most schools, if not all, do things like this.</p>
<p>Where are you transferring from?</p>
<p>I've been accepted into CALS Animal Sciences program! Any idea when we get information related to housing, etc? :)</p>
<p>Send in your deposit and you'll be getting "Cornell Bound" which has everything you need.</p>
<p>kkl230, I'm transferring from Hofstra U. They didn't have summer reading, but I know a lot of schools do. Thanks for offering a real response.</p>
<p>As kkl said, summer reading is for orientation. I didn't know if transfers had to do it or not, so excuse me for asking. If we do have to read it and you don't feel like it, go right ahead. I just thought some of us might like to be prepared.</p>
<p>No problem with your asking that. I just think that it is funny if we have to do it =)</p>
