Cornell Concern -- Rolling Admissions Inq.

<p>schneider09: I also got into the CAS at UVA..I'm a sophomore transfer..arer you a junior transfer?</p>

<p>Aquamarine
- Yes, I am a junior transfer. I go to Sweet Briar - a tiny all women's college - and I have outgrown it.</p>

<p>Are you from VA ? Where are you currently?</p>

<p>To everyone - they might update CAS online results tonight after 5. I would check just to see. I am guessing that they would if they are making decisions as we speak.</p>

<p>schneider09: I am an international student who libe outside of the US:)..I know UVA is also a great school. However, I really want to go private school..:(lol)</p>

<p>schneider09: did you alreadt speak with one of the representatives at Cornell. I just called and she said it takes for 3 days to update the decision.
she said to me you can check your online decision maybe on Monday.</p>

<p>Aqua: While I agree that going to Cornell would be great - as a person who goes to UVA on a frequent basis - the school is great. Its absolutely gorgeous. I bet you would like it. but I do know the "wanting to get into Cornell" feeling.</p>

<p>I just talked to CAS. My app is still being reviewed. They did say however, I should see a decision next week. </p>

<p>However, the CAS lady stated some numbers. CAS only accpeted about 55 apps last year out of over 1,500. My chances do not look good. Oh well.</p>

<p>According to their website, it was more like 81 out of 1045 -- <a href="http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000156.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000156.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>so it's not quite so bad as that 55 / 1500, it seems. Was the CAS lady correct? ;/ if so, it's rather discouraging :P</p>

<p>The CAS lady was pretty discouraging. She congratulated me on my acceptance to UVA then basically said "take their offer". She then stated the statistics of me getting in. </p>

<p>I have no clue though. I felt I was a somewhat decent candidate. However, I saw they are rejecting 4.0's and while I have near one, I don't have the greatest SAT scores. </p>

<p>But best of luck to everyone.</p>

<p>Schneider09: I agree with you. When I talked with her, her voice seemed pretty discouraging...she said the letter sent yesterday. However, I cannot tell you the decision over the phone..something like that...My GPA is 4.0. However, I also don't have the greatest SAT scores except math.</p>

<p>Rejected from CAS (online).</p>

<p>Congratulations to those who got in and good luck to those who are still waiting!</p>

<p>As much as Cornell stressed the lax of high school performance for 2nd year transfer applicants, in the end it did not hold to be true. It would have been impossible for me to have done any better in college than what I had, as I have a near perfect GPA. So just a warning to those of you that are like me, having an average high school GPA and an outstanding college GPA, Cornell will bury you in your high school performance and SAT scores. Sad, but true, still I wish the best of luck and if anybody's experience is otherwise, please do share. Best wishes :)</p>

<p>I got rejected from CAS. Oh well.</p>

<p>my decision still hasn't yet appeared ;o nervewracking</p>

<p>schneider and aquamarine, i also was just accepted at UVA :P. this wait is killing me.... good luck!</p>

<p>I just got rejected...I checked my decision online...</p>

<p>i am still waiting for hotel school. i am so scared right now, since a lot of ppl with better stats are getting rejected!</p>

<p>Dumb question... Is there a separate page on the site to check decisions? or is it the same as the "Check Application Status" page?</p>

<p>from what I know there will be a "Check your decision" link above the "Check Application Status " link</p>

<p>STILL WaITING FOR CORNELL CAS!!!!! what the hell is UVA?</p>
