<p>@cheeky: I hoped for that, and my dean sent a letter saying that it would cause financial hardship (Cornell said it would accept that as a fee waiver), but that was in February. :(</p>
<p>I mean if it wasn’t updated by now, then looks like I have to send a fee, which really would cause financial hardship lol.</p>
<p>@melonbread91: if your CA transfer essay was 777 words, then how is that barely meeting the minimum (250 words)? lol</p>
<p>weirdon - yeah, spring break is next week. a lot of people are leaving starting tomorrow. i actually think i may not be here for dragon day, which is making me really upset</p>
<p>do you guys think that this thread can go above 1000 posts?</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>I’m wondering if the 7.9 percent acceptance rate is due to the fact that not many apply to CALS and directly to the other schools itself or if the acceptance rate isn’t that high.</p>
<p>Mm</p>
<p>castiel, i meant the supplementary essay for CORNELL, not the CA haha. my CA essay was 777 words, my cornell supp. essay was a little over 500 lols</p>
<p>ahh lol that makes more sense, naw mine wasn’t 1500 it was shorter. my supplementary was like 700</p>
<p>@boysdontcryy: 7.9% is the overall percentage of Cornell as a whole, not only CALS. If you want to know the exact number, it’s 45 intl students who got accepted as transfers :)</p>
<p>you and me will be part of that statistic next year mikey 
wishful thinking, i daresay!</p>
<p>i hope so too.
i put a lot of effort in applying to Cornell: developed good relationships with 2 professors in bio and ochem, with my counselor too. all of them have known me for almost 2 years. i just cant waste their rec letters!</p>
<p>hahaha. I know what you mean. every time i see my chem prof she says something like “so, once you’re at cornell…”. hehe.
so many people,besides me of course, would be dissapointed if i didnt get in to cornell. fingers crossed! 45 international transfers is not a bad number!! :)</p>
<p>i just got my appid. this is exciting! lol.</p>
<p>Well. 45 is nt a bad number if not too many intl students applied. If it’s 45 out of like say, 400. That’s BAD!!!</p>
<p>Anyone knows how big is the intl applicant pool?</p>
<p>Did any of you check your cornell account today? Mine doesn’t show me the checklist anymore. Just says that cornell has received a lot of apps and they’re busy sending files for review.
either my application is complete or they’re inundated with applications and dont want people to call!</p>
<p>@chris</p>
<p>i checked today, and all it says is that they’re busy. mine isn’t complete though. i still need to send in my midterm.</p>
<p>Woohoo, also got my AppID! I don’t know why this makes me feel like I’m in, when you first login it says something like…“once’ you’re admitted”…</p>
<p>Do we receive decisions through the internet then?? Whatever happened to the traditional letter!</p>
<p>I believe that the typical case is that decisions are not released via the online system, and that we will be receiving physical letters in the mail.</p>
<p>YEAH, last year they released via email. They didn’t bother updating the online system.</p>
<p>My apologies, I meant to say that decisions were sent through the mail, not e-mail. Is this not the more typical case? I know that this is how it was done for Spring 2010 admission, at least.</p>
