Applying for fall of 2010 Cornell

<p>After reading this thread since it started, I have finally been able to bring myself to post with only one month until the deadline.</p>

<p>I’m currently at the University of Vermont, hoping to transfer to CALS this fall as a sophomore. I’ve been dying from the stress of this whole thing. Thankfully, it looks like everyone has been, too.</p>

<p>advice to stay as least stressed as possible: put your all into your app so you don’t think back and wish you did something differently and keep busy to keep your mind off of it. you will be waiting until may, maybe june, so don’t bug admissions either. harassing the secretaries won’t make your app magically go under review. if you have important updates, then send those, but otherwise don’t keep sending them useless things about new clubs or whatever. </p>

<p>for those of you still working on your app: the essays are REALLY, REALLY important.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Truth, especially for me, with my really weak Math score. I need to blow the admissions officers away, so I’ve been obsessing over my essays. Hopefully they were good enough!</p>

<p>Is everyone’s midyear report grades going to based off of only one exam and a few assignment grades? For each of my classes, I will have only had one exam when I ask my professors for my grades. Is anyone else in the same boat?</p>

<p>somedudehere: thanks haha, I really didn’t want to come off as the jerk on the cc thread lol. Ahh you submitted it, congrats! I am still too nervous to submit mine, probably going to wait 1-2 weeks. </p>

<p>Yeah I have to wait for my one midterm (I have two midterms and a final) and then ask my professor in early March for it. I hope that isn’t too late</p>

<p>Im not even done with my essays!! Gahhhh!!! :(</p>

<p>Also, for the other people that are stuck applying via mail like me, if you’re looking for the supplement you can find it here:</p>

<p>pages 9 and 10</p>

<p>hey all, since it’s 15th now, can we submit everything except the common app and the supplemental app? i need more time to polish my essay!</p>

<p>Wait, wait ,wait. I know that the processing window for transfer materials is Feb. 15th through March 15th, but my letters of recommendation/school report forms went in last week. That won’t be a problem, will it? Aye, my head.</p>

<p>I think that will not be a problem, but did you submit the Common App and the Supplemental one?</p>

<p>Ok, good. And, no, I haven’t submitted any of the application parts yet (as in the Common App and supplement). I’m still finishing my essays. I hope to have them in within the next 10 days though. At least, that’s my plan.</p>

<p>I have a question, I am applying Biometry and Statistics major with a statistics concentration in CALS, Currently I am a statistics and math major so I have not finished the bio 1 and 2( I am taking one bio course this quarter, but probably can not finish all of the science courses), will that hurt me a lot?</p>

<p>Emphasis is on completion but they did say it’s all right. So no worries. </p>

<p>We shld get to know each other better so, cross fingers, when we’re admitted, we’ll find it easier to adjust.</p>

<p>haha I like your style boysdontcryy. </p>

<p>and I agree, we should get to know each other better.</p>

<p>yay it’s the 15th. time to submit it all…
when is everyone submitting their mid year report? i’m planning on sending everything else now and waiting till early march to submit the midyear report.</p>

<p>@ Ntmikey: since we’re both international, what kind of transcripts do you have from high school? Mine give marks and % and hours of each class but there’s no grades or GPAs coz my school system doesnt use that.
is that gonna be a problem? what doe syoru school transcript look like?</p>

<p>Guys quick question, the mid term report has no date on it. So if we have all A’s now why can’t we just ask our professors to sign them now?</p>

<p>it sounds devious, but i wonder if we could do that?</p>

<p>Hahahaha, that’s such an unbelievable idea. Brilliant, yes, but beyond devious. </p>

<p>Regardless, I’m just going to ask for my grades once I have had only one exam for each class, which is by the end of next week. No need to wait for another round of exams for my midyear to be based on, right?</p>

<p>lol why thank you, nice to know my evil ideas aren’t too bad haha. I feel guilty contemplating it, but is there a rule against it?</p>

<p>I don’t think there is a rule, per se, but some red flags would definitely be raised if one of those "A"s were to drop to a noticeably lower grade when the semester’s transcript was submitted (upon acceptance). Far too risky in my opinion, lol.</p>

<p>And are you referring to the fact that we all ‘begin’ with high A’s in our classes (because we have yet to have exams/projects/papers)? Even so, I can’t imagine a professor being willing to sign the midyear report with a grade based on nothing other than enrollment in the class, lol.</p>
