Cornell Concern -- Rolling Admissions Inq.

Transfer Students
1

<p>A few on this board have received their Cornell College of Arts and Sciences decision and, from what I've seen, both (or three?) have been acceptances. They submitted their applications in early March, from what I gather.</p>

<p>My concern is that I submitted my application in mid-February, and still haven't yet heard anything. Should this be cause for concern? If the admissions are "rolling", does this mean that they've already examined my application and possibly put me in a mass-rejection pile?</p>

<p>Just looking for insight. Thanks much :P</p>

<p>i think they are rolling it</p>

3

<p>ok, what does that mean?</p>

4

<p>don't get hopeless, one of my friends got into cornell last year and he got his transfer admission in june..so wait..:)</p>

5

<p>Stay optimistic, remember that it is still very early in the process.</p>

6

<p>bump ? ;) :P</p>

7

<p>I guess maybe it isn't first come/first serve, maybe it is just whatever application they happen to grab next off the pile.</p>

<p>I'm still waiting on mine, but I sent it in right on the due date.</p>

8

<p>Yeah, it's strange. I sent my stuff in at the end of January and haven't heard anything. I'm not ultra worried, but a little jumpy.</p>

9

<p>You know, maybe (because the faculty evaluates the applications, don't they?) different departments will evaluate their applicants at different times. Larger majors (such as my beloved English) might also have more applications to process .. hmm ! I wonder how it works :P</p>

10

<p>hmm. I applied as a classics major, I can't image they have too many of those.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I'm not going even if I get in b/c I got in to a school I want to go to more so I'm not super stressed but I am still realllly curious as to whether or not I could get in.</p>

11

<p>Oh, where'd you get in? :P</p>

12

<p>I applied for Africana Studies in CAS. I really don't know how big of a department that is at Cornell, I'm guessing not huge.</p>

13

<p>I applied to CAS too.... I sent my application in the middle of Feb. </p>

<p>but I haven't heard anything, also...it makes me really nervous..:(</p>

14

<p>Hey guys, I apparentley got rejected from CAS. Good luck to everyone who has yet to hear and congrats to those that got in!</p>

15

<p>jwm, how do u know?</p>

16

<p>talked to a lady in CAS today. everyone who submitted a COMPLETE application ON TIME will recieve notification online tomorrow, may 1, at 5 PM.</p>

17

<p>I'm sorry jwm :( and heavens, causal nexus -- way to make a guy jumpy as hell about tomorrow. :P</p>

18

<p>What is the average GPA that applies to Cornell? Also, do they take all previous transferable credit or only at the current institution? If someone wished to report only the ones at their current institution can they choose to omit their previous instutional grades?</p>

<p>jwm, you don't need to share if you don't want to, but what are your stats? (read: how stupid were they to pass you up?) :P</p>

<p>ccstudent88, I would assume 3.7+</p>

<p>All schools take whatever credits you've taken, even the ones from H.S (as long as they're transferable)</p>

<p>And as for your final question: that's unlawful. I hope you don't plan on doing that... if they find out, they will kick you out/you won't be able to get a statement of good standing to transfer to a different school.</p>
