When examining you for admission does the adcom look at what your prospective major is? For example, I am applying to CAS as a chemistry major; will I be evaluated as a prospective chemistry major or just a random CAS applicant?

<p>I may be wrong but I think that if you're applying for junior standing, your application will get evaluated by both college admissions and chemistry faculty. Cornell does consider your prospective major, although, it does less so for CAS than for other schools like CALS.</p>

22

<p>Yeah, I heard that HumEc does that as well. They have professors look at applications to determine fit because they figure that professors know the major and the curriculum better than anyone else.</p>

23

<p>Yeah I think if you're applying for junior status (which, because we are applying for spring, will only be half-true), you should have most/all of the prerequisites for your major completed prior to enrollment, so I think that which major you are applying to will definitely be taken into consideration.</p>

24

<p>So what college is everyone applying to? I'm applying to HumEc, PAM.</p>

25

<p>Would any of you be willing to join a "Cornell 2009 Spring Transfer" facebook group? Considering the very short time between transfer decisions and the start of winter semester, it would be nice to get to know eachother prior to going to Cornell.</p>

26

<p>Yeah, I was thinking about that earlier, sounds like a good idea.</p>

27

<p>I just created a group called: "Cornell Spring Transfer 2009"</p>

<p>Join :)</p>

28

<p>Okay I joined. I love the list of related groups.</p>

29

<p>lol..wooooooowww...looks like the related groups tool on facebook is complete crap. Sorry, I can't change that...</p>

30

<p>what are the related groups? it would make sense if they were cornell groups</p>

31

<p>I hope the supplement comes out tomorrow.</p>

32

<p>Called the admissions office this morning, it sounds like they haven't had a chance yet to process any of the transfer common applications.</p>

33

<p>It's up today, but when I try to select my college and major. It has all the colleges listed, but none of the majors.</p>

<p>Anyone else having this problem?</p>

34

<p>I called and they said they'd fix it in a few days, hopefully.</p>

35

<p>It's all fixed now. Happy submitting!</p>

36

<p>How important do you guys think the midterm report is? I mean I think I'll have a mix of A's and B's on my midterm report, yet I'm a straight A student. My midterm reports in the past have never had all A's on them, but I always finish strong.</p>

37

<p>I think they pretty much use it to gauge that you're doing as well this semester as you have done in the best. AKA you're not slacking off.</p>

<p>It might be more important if you're a freshmen and don't have as many semesters on your transcript.</p>

<p>Hello everyone! </p>

<p>I'm applying as a Spring transfer as well. As I was reading through the posts, I saw that someone said that they're disappointed that there aren't that many spring transfers on here (Sorry, used "that" too many times). BUT, I have to say, I'm happy!!! If this forum, is as popular and well known as I think and hope it is, then maybe there aren't that many of us applying which means a bigger chance for all of us to get in! Yey!</p>

<p>Am I the only one who's not quite done with the application? :(</p>

39

<p>i still haven't written my essays</p>

<p>woohoo! That makes me feel so much better! :)
I'm trying to do that right now and I'm stuck, pfff</p>
