Transfer Students
61

<p>Applying to ILR as a junior from a SUNY school in Buffalo. I have my interview tomorrow morning!</p>

<p>I think my chances are pretty good. Well, maybe.</p>

62

<p>Are you doing a phone interview or are you going to campus?</p>

63

<p>Phone interview. They said it would be fine since I live 3 and a half hours away. I've seen the campus before, and I plan to make a visit after this semester is over.</p>

NYU's really expensive molly. If you aren't on scholarship, you should consider a 2 or 4 year SUNY (Cornell does really well with in-state public transfers.) One of the best decisions of my life.

<p>I know nyu is expensive and that cornell does well with in state public transfers, but I'm not even completely sure I will transfer at all. So I'm not going to pick a school for the sole purposes of making it easy to transfer.
I don't have GT and transfer acceptance rates are really low. let's say I went to binghamton, and then tried to transfer out to cornell after a year and didn't get in - I would be stuck at a school I don't even like.
So I'd rather just go to a school I love (nyu) and enjoy it there. after a year, I might not even want to transfer at all, if I'm doing well academically/socially. plus I'm commuting so it's not expensive for me.</p>

<p>anything changed on your Cornell application status page?</p>

66

<p>Nothing changed for mine.. :(</p>

67

<p>This blows, I don't even know if they received my application. For all I know, it could've gotten lost in the mail 3 weeks ago.</p>

68

<p>It's Friday!! Has anyone checked the page yet?</p>

69

<p>Yep. Still nothing.</p>

70

<p>Ugh.. hopefully, it'll be up by the end of the day :)</p>

71

<p>Nothing yet.</p>

<p>Wow, I applied under Arts & Sciences... so much for that. I feel like how I did when I found out Chicago reduced their transfer rates so dramatically.</p>

73

<p>On Thursday I spoke with someone in admissions and was told that my application had arrived in full and is on file! Yipeee! </p>

<p>Regardless, I still do not have this username and password that you all seem to be referring to for checking a status page. Could you please post a link to this page?</p>

74

<p>Their ApplicantID page is not intuitive and the self service link is well-hidden, so it's understandable that you haven't found it.</p>

<p><a href="https://selfservice.admissions.cornell.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://selfservice.admissions.cornell.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>
