<p>How do you know that the first transfer admission letter was received on April 13?</p>
<p>on the fall’09 forum the person who got in on that date wrote the date the letter was written</p>
<p>These essays are hard… any tips, anyone?</p>
<p>What do you do if they have 1 out 2 teacher Recc. Letters? Teacher 1 waited until after midterms and it has worked to my advantage. Teacher 2 has already sent my letter in so they have checked off that portion of the application as complete.</p>
<p>I don’t want admissions to look at my application without the letter from Teacher 1 so I am currently holding the College Official’s Report (sealed of course) in order for my application status to remain incomplete.</p>
<p>Is this bad?</p>
<p>blech, this week sucks. cramming for midterms, finishing essays, prepping for interviews, writing for contests,trying to remember the other billion things i need to do…i kind of feel like giving up b/c there’s so much to do (but i won’t). so CALS won’t consider your SATs/SATIIs at all, even if theyre near perfect? Boo. </p>
<p>Also, am I at a disadvantage if my transcripts/SSRs reach cornell after march 15th? i found out today that my school takes a month to send in anything and my HS counselor say that my hs transcript will be mailed out in 3 weeks (boo!).</p>
<p>^ No kidding. This application is like having an additional 4-credit class.</p>
<p>And I believe admission officers won’t read your application until all of your materials are in. So as long as everything is postmarked by the 15th, I wouldn’t be worried about any form of a ‘disadvantage.’</p>
<p>Wait. So do I not need to send in my ACT scores at all (like melonbread’s question)? I know that the FAQs say that they are not needed, but are they optional?</p>
<p>lol at the 4 credit course. I did not send ANY Sat or act to CALS.</p>
<p>I know 1 person who got rejected from Cornell and she thinks it was because of her SAT score. So unless your score is stella, submitting SAT score is not a smart thing to do.</p>
<p>stelllllllaaaaaaaaaa</p>
<p>do you know how much LOR’s really mean in the eyes of an admissions officer?</p>
<p>Advice for people who have already sent their stuff in: I just read my essays, and there is so much I want to change. Ugh. Once your essays are in, don’t even look at them. It will ruin your day.</p>
<p>EDIT: how “tough” is Bio considered at Cornell? It’s a difficult major, sure, but is it in the “don’t bother if you got a B+” club someone mentioned a page back?</p>
<p>Reply from the admission staff says that they will be sending transfer applicants for review shortly, at the moment freshmen applicants are being reviewed.</p>
<p>thank you for the update, hiroseAki!</p>
<p>@somedudehere: Hehe ya I did that, never again.</p>
<p>@Hiroseaki: So transfers are based on rolling? I haven’t completed everything yet.</p>
<p>DON’t send your scores in. I thought we needed to and my scores aren’t stellar as ntmikey said. I hope they keep their word that it won’t affect my review but what can I do? They’ll look at it anyway…</p>
<p>Other than that, I’m a sophomore so I have enough courses to back me up. I greatly regret sending them in.</p>
<p>I am not sure, but I think they will start reviewing transfer applicants when they are done with freshmen.</p>
<p>Oh my god. I sent in my ACT scores. They’re not bad by any standard, but now I feel like I shouldn’t have sent them in. I hope they don’t affect my application review.</p>
<p>gawd the Cornell application self service system is sooooooooo slow. why can’t an ivy league uni use a faster server?!</p>
<p>lol guys don’t worry if they do look at them,they won’t put much weight on them anyways. Like I emailed CALS and they said they don’t even look at them if you send them.</p>
<p>It’s all good girls and guys 
Chin up :D</p>
<p>So I got my midterm reports signed by my bio and got an A, chem lab will be an A, Cal A, hopefully,and then writing A, but in chem I have a B lol. Should I explain it?</p>
<p>I have had no midterms except for chem.</p>
<p>^How would you give them your explanation? Send along a letter with the report?</p>
<p>And in the explanation, you would have to say that the reason why Chem is a B is because you had a midterm in that class, but have yet to have one in all of the others.</p>
