How likely is a NY CC transfer to be admitted if they meet all of the requirements? I haven’t been able to find any solid answers on this. Any of these agreements that were signed in 2009 specifically mention ‘guarantee’. Here’s an example.

Here is a link to the most recent agreement, from 2012. You’ll notice that the ‘guarantee’ is no longer mentioned, and that a new section mentions that ‘decisions regarding acceptance rest solely with the admissions committee’.

I’m thinking that because of the guarantee, they were being forced to admit students who weren’t up to Cornell standards, so they nixed the ‘guarantee’, but they still will accept most transfers who meet the requirements? Anyone have any specific knowledge on exactly how the most recent articulation agreements relate to chances of acceptance? If anyone is a current Cornell student who has transferred from a NY state CC, please share your experience/stats if you wish. Thanks.
@justTryIt I did some heavy research about this last semester before applying. I talked to the officials who signed the agreement with Cornell at my institution (2014) and called Cornell numerous times about it. This is what I was able to conclude.
It’s misleading.
1). It’s an articulation agreement for credits.
2). You are put into the regular applicant pool with no special designation.
3). It’s only with CALS (at least at my institution).
But, there are some pluses from what I could tell.
1). It seems as though they are required to take X amount of CC students from NY in the (partially) state funded colleges (thus you kind of have leg up in a way). I have no real hard evidence to support this one but the data sure seems to suggest it.
2). You’re credits will most likely be accepted if admitted.

spring semester. Not all Cornell colleges/schools enroll transfer students for the spring semester.
