<p>So are there any other AEM applicants that would care to share stats/chances?</p>
<p>I posted mine earlier but here they are again:</p>
<p>GPA - 4.0 from oos CC, applying for junior status (all prereqs complete but 1 which is in progress)
Tests - 30 act 2050 sat
ECs - 2 honors societies including PTK, a business club, tutoring, part time job
recs and essays - both should be good
HS stats - not good, explained in essay (extenuating circumstances)</p>
<p>Rejected for spring 2010 and I really hope I get in this time around; Cornell is right up there among my top choices.</p>
<p>oh a lot of biological people on here. Science rules! </p>
<p>hahah I wouldn’t know if CALS would get annoyed, I suggest calling CALS itself. Personally, I think more couldn’t hurt. I totally understand the researcher thing! i just started at the anthro lab here and don’t want to seem like I am using them.</p>
<p>hahaha you will get out of there! im sure you will. lol about the hs. </p>
<p>just curious, are you guys submitting your sats? Im still on the fence.</p>
<p>i wouldn’t send more than 2 LORs actually. it doesn’t matter who they’re from as long as they tell the adcoms about different sides of you that your app doesn’t.</p>
<p>a little, but Ironically unsure knows a lot more. </p>
<p>I know its a land grant school so if ur a NY resident it helps in admissions (supposedly).
it can breed people in a variety of fields including psychology, law, and even medicine.</p>

<p>actually athletics, you might be better off asking brandnew from the spring’10 thread, as bn got a GT for the first transfer attempt into ILR <em>not a stalker</em> and then got in for the spring. speaking of GTs, i heard CALS and ILR give out TONS of them; checking old transfer rates, i saw numbers as high as 66% of admitted applicants being GTs for CALs alone. If that’s true, it might be even harder to get into cals than into cas/engineering!</p>
<p>yeah, ILR’s numbers are somewhere in the 30s, but that’s grossly inflated by GTs and internal transfers. all the contract colleges (CALS, ILR, CHE) and even CAS (though this one’s much rarer) give out GTs to both freshmen applicants and transfers, so it makes it seem like they’re accepting tons of people the following semester. of the 12 people who came in to CHE with me for the spring, 6 were internals and 4 were GTs, leaving me and one other person who were actually accepted as regular applicants, so that should give you an idea of how it is. crazy, right?</p>
<p>ugh curse the GT for inflatiing admissions rates (unless cornell gives me one haha). So if CALS decides to take 30+% of all applicants, and a little over 2/3 of applicants admitted are GTs…then the acceptance rate of traditional transfers is a 10-13%…<em>dies</em></p>
<p>This is like marching into war, we know we might not make it but are going to try our best anyways. I hope to see you guys at Cornell as well as get there myself. I would settle for a GT if i was offered one for spring 11 instead of fall 10 :D</p>
<p>so integrating another forum, why are you guys or girls transferring?</p>
<p>Im doing it because cornell has the major I want, the social scene, opportunities, programs at cornell, and various other things.</p>
<p>Castiel- I’m transferring for basically the same reasons. I am also transferring because of their location and my current college is waaaay too much of a party scene hah. I plan to hopefully row or play sprint football at cornell also.</p>
<p>Ironicallyunsure- If I am interested in both ILR and government would you suggest applying to ILR because it is easier?</p>
<p>athletics - apply to the major you’re interested in more, because if i remember correctly, you’d be an incoming junior and they make you wait a year to switch majors. unless you wouldn’t mind staying an extra year to finish up if you decide to switch later</p>
