@idekidc I think it is college-specific to CALS. I found out through Chatter.
Does anyone know if we were supposed to send our end of the year high school transcripts?
Yea, were supposed to send in our high school transcripts but not right now. When we submit the TO application.
umm cornell emailed me asking for my transcript
@quitenervous Cornell asked for my transcripts as well a few weeks ago. I was a bit confused since I thought we submit them after the TO application.
@Pugslife yeah same. That’s why I was confused. so I sent it over a while ago

For human ecology applicants, what classes did you take for the labs requirements?
Does anyone happen to know which schools offer the guaranteed transfer offer? Specifically, does engineering offer it?
@3musketeers, unfortunately, I have not seen any engineers with a “GT.”
@Pugslife I think Im the “Guaranteed” TO application, since I have a shortened application process. However, human ecology applicants need to respond to this:
