Cornell Fall 2017 Transfer

Hello all! I am new to cc and applying to a few schools. I figure I might as well post my stats and would love some honest feedback, no matter how harsh. I do not want to have any regrets when applying to schools. So, I am applying to schools that I know are a big reach. I am applying to ILR, and have completed all pre-reqs except calc, but I was told that is not really a pre-req, but more of a recommended course if you want to study high level econ.

Objective

HS GPA 3.0 – poor, I know:( I explain why in personal statement

MI Community College – 3.84 ( not including Mid-Term report, which is a 4.0)

Large upward trend

Fall 2015 – 3.668 (A- in Introductory french 1, but A in Intermediate 1 and A in IM 2 on MD report)

Winter 2016 – 3.82 (A- in introductory french 2, but A later in Intermediate 1 and A in IM 2 on MD report)

Summer 2016 – 4.0

Fall 2016 – 4.0

Winter 2016 – 4.0 on mid-term report

I have All A’s except for 3 A- and a B- in Fall 2015 in honors comp-1

I received an A in english comp-2.

My course load is very rigorous. It is as hard as it gets for a CC. Several honors courses

A’s in honors micro, honors gov, intermediate french 1, statistics, macro, and several more. I will graduate with an Associate of Arts this semester from the honors program.

Personal Statement

I poured my heart into it. In hs, both my parents lost their jobs, my home was foreclosed, we relied on others for housing, my family went on food stamps, and I worked at McDonald’s to support my family. I explained how this resulted in my fascination for all things related to government and as a result, wanting to study all things government and socioeconomic related with the intention of becoming a lawyer. I also explained how a higher education will allow me to support my mom. I think it explains my life, motives, and why I am doing what I am doing. TBH very proud of it. Overall 9.5/10 IMO

Supplement essay

I believe it shows why I am the perfect fit for ILR. Spoke about my tenure with McDonald’s. 10/10 IMO

LOR-- I have three. One from French, Econ, and head of honors program and experiential learning. I believe they are all excellent.

EC’s – I will only list college.

Work at McDonald’s for several hours a week

Elected president of leadership club.

VP of an academic club

Volunteer work with Dementia Patients

Very involved in my chabad. I’m very active in the Jewish Community

Leader of Jewish youth group

Research this summer at U of M–Ann Arbor

Again, I realize this is not a chance me thread, but would love to interact with all of you about the transfer process

MISC

Accepted to Umich in early February and Brandeis (need-aware) for Spring 2017, but chose to stay at my cc. Also, I am tri-lingual.

I sent my college report with my college transcript. The transcript was checked off as received but but my college report was not (which is weird to me).

However, the only way I can send my college report is to send it as an attachment with my transcript in order to get my university’s official seal. I am unintentionally going to be sending my transcript again…they wouldn’t find that bothersome right?

I’m curious, how did you guys send your college reports? Did you send it online or in the mail?

@Mastodon97 i sent my college report/mid term report in the mail via UPS…tracked it and it was delivered on 3/7. still not updated on the portal

@Mastodon97 I had my university usps my college report like 2 weeks ago. That’s been marked online as received. I sent in my midterm report on the 8th, and it hasn’t been updated. I also had to send an update to my midterm report on the 20th though.

Also, has anyone’s application been forwarded for review yet?

@Mastodon97 My college allowed me to upload a file to be attached with the transcript for mailing. So I just made my Dean sign the College Report, I scanned it, and uploaded it. It was checked off at Cornell roughly a month later. I sent the midterm report earlier this week by mail; shortly after I realised I could’ve just uploaded it online… but since they don’t want duplicates, I’ll just wait I guess.

Thanks for the info guys, I didn’t really know how to send it and I want it to be sent asap. Guess I’m mailing it because I’ve already sent my transcripts.

Keep the list updated. Helps for future students.

It seems like the trend is if you get your letter in April…your rejected…and may your accepted.
But then, the trend for previous years was april accepted, late april rejected, early may rejected, late may accepted.
May God do his magic!

How are everyone’s checklists coming along?

Also, does anyone know if things appear checked off only if all of it is in (3 school’s transcripts for example) or just after they receive the first one?

Updated by adding majors, and fixing some that were incorrect. If I didn’t get yours, please add it!

Will my application be considered incomplete if I originally marked on my application that I was planning to apply for financial aid, and ended up not submitting the FA materials? Anyone know?

I sent my college and high school transcript back in mid January, but they all shows not receive. what about you?

I sent my college and high school transcript back in mid January, but they all shows not receive. I emailed them and they just say due to the large amount mail they received it could take up to 2-3 weeks to process but it has been three weeks already, is it possible that my transcripts got lost? For those who’s transcript shows received in the portal could you post the date you sent? Thanks a lot!

Has anyone’s portal been updated recently (last two weeks)? I know they told us to expect delays, and I’m just waiting on one green check!

Wondering if we should make a separate thread for ILR applicants. anyone interested?
