Calling Spring Applicants Who Got a GT!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>So, I just got my letter today informing me that I was "rejected" from the Spring Semester for 2008 but I was offered a spot as a Guaranteed Transfer in the Fall of 2008.<br>
Just because I believe some people would be interested...
I applied for the Policy Analysis and Management Major
I am currently a University of Delaware Student
I had a 3.8 my last Spring semester by my Cumulative I have a 3.5
I row for my school (if that helps at all in admission)
SATs and SAT IIs were pretty much a stereotypical Korean scores... High math average english
High school sucked... haha
Essays were very well researched, and showed that I knew a lot about their program, and why it was right for me...I did my homework</p>

<p>So I dont know whether to be happy or not...
I was accepted to Lehigh, William and Mary, and Boston College but I really wanted to go to Cornell...
I have two options...go to one of the above schools and see how I do next semester and in the case things dont work out I still have the opportunity of a solid education from these schools
My next option is go to my state school for the cheap tuition (NJ) Rutgers and just hold my breath for a semester and get out of there ASAP with a 3.3 or higher. </p>

<p>I do not know much about the GT process so can anyone give me advice on what I should do?<br>
Are GT's usually successfully? Do I have to go through the SAME application process again or are their GT applications? </p>

<p>I would appreciate any feedback... thanks!</p>

<p>Not to be rude, but search for "Guaranteed Transfer Option" thread here on the Cornell boards... it's the largest by far and should answer most of your questions! </p>

<p>(To be short, there are a few basic academic requirements you have to maintain in order to guarantee your GT status.)</p>

<p>Did you apply normal spring transfer?</p>

<p>There is a special GT transfer sheet.</p>

<p>Also did you meet all the requirements?</p>

<p>I applied as a normal spring transfer, and when I spoke to one of the admissions committe people that reviewed my application, he informed me that I just needed to take one more lab science class and PAM oriented courses. I will call him again on Monday to get his advice on how I should go about my next semester.</p>

<p>Tun 님, 감사함니다. 곳 Cornell 갈 수 있단 생각하면 기뻐요.</p>

<p>Yeah there is a special GT application they send via email. In addition, some GT's have to wait one year. Reread your GT proposal letter and I'm sure you'll find something that you did not satisfy.</p>
