Cornell - 2007 Transfer Thread

<p>i was accepted to cas...religious studies major with international relations concentration</p>

<p>that's awesome. congrats.</p>

<p>My decision is still not available, should I be worried?</p>

<p>how did you find out about the CAS decision?</p>

<p>Seiken - I wouldn't be worried. CAS decisions are rolling and are still coming out. I know mine isn't out yet - however, should be later this week.</p>

<p>Has anyone heard from the CoE?</p>

<p>Also, does anyone have any stats or idea what it takes to actually get into the CoE?</p>

<p>I called CoE yesterday and they said that they reviewed quarter of the applications and it may take two to three weeks for them to release my decision</p>

<p>Blasphemy...or something... The wait is entirely too long. It's going to be even longer for me since one of my letters of recommendation were late >.<</p>

<p>biggyboy, I applied AEM, my decision letter is on the way..</p>

<p>still waiting 4 CAS. It's taken too long!</p>

<p>so we're quite similar eh? one think i dont understand-- you say its better for creative writing. BU has one of the best creative writing programs in the country?</p>

<p>No, there's no lack of resource for academic courses in creative writing -- place, though, is important to the very act of writing itself. It's the "feeling" -- it's difficult to explain and so I didn't make much mention of it in my application (they'd probably think I was some nut, anyway) :P</p>

<p>So yes -- hope we both get out of here!</p>
