Cornell Class of 2026 Transfer Option

In a YouTube video , I heard that IF the TO works out, the student’s freshman year credits gets transferred to Cornell but not the GPA and that they start afresh / with a blank slate at Cornell as far as GPA is considered. Does this put them at a disadvantage for internships etc?

That would be a good question for the advisor assigned to the TO’s.

Cornell has been doing the TO program for many years so presumably the transition has been successfully implemented - internships etc. included.

Does not work for me - what is the discord invite link? Thx

Hey guys! I’m a Cornell TO ‘26 to ILR and I was wondering if someone can send the link to the discord/any social media forums and chats related to 2026 TOs :). Thanks!

Hi - Is anyone here considering going with the Cornell transfer option or planning stay put with the colleges where they are in?

My DD22 received the transfer option but I think she is going to stay put at her current school Cal Poly Slo. My DD19 is waiting to hear if she gets into Cornell’s Veterinary school. If that happens, I could see my younger daughter thinking about it again.

HI, can anyone post the discord chat server for the 2026 Cornell TO? Really appreciate it!

Hi, Christine,
Can you post the discord group chat again, the old one is expired. Thanks!

HI 2026 TOs. It has been awhile!
Anyone decide to pass up their TO?
How are you all feeling?
Very little communication from HumEc all year, pulled teeth to get responses on questions about course requirements.
Anecdotally, hearing anything about likelihood of acceptance if grades/courses met? Expecting anything different this year?

My D26 is passing on her transfer option for the fall. She is loving Cal Poly slo and is deciding to stay! :blush:

That’s so great she’s so happy! (And a relief not to have to go through the whole process.)
To which program did she have the TO?

She had the transfer option for CALS for entomology. She was happy to have the option for sure but is loving her major this year and Cal Poly!
