My high school transcript has been checked off!!! Which I sent late Feb btw. Now just waiting for my SAT scores to be checked off
Does Cornell accept a lot of letters transfer applicants?
@lexluther96 Depends on your definition of “a lot”
@lexluther96
Well for public colleges such as ILR, yes
CAS transfer is very hard
@Mastodon97 @SunZhaoyu Yes, I meant CAS. I thought so. Do you know what the average CAS transfer’s stats look like?
@lexluther96 Cornell doesn’t have any recent stats like that, but looking at this pdf from 2011, I’d say around 10% https://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000156.pdf
@Mastodon97 Thanks!! Are you applying to CAS?
@lexluther96 Nope, ILR
@Mastodon97 Judging from previous year’s threads, there is no way ILR’s acceptance rate is close to 30%. Many people were rejected in previous threads.
@ILRmaybe yeah, ILR sends a lot of guranteed transfer, so the real acceptance rate is probably close to 20%.
@ILRmaybe However, I don’t think ILR is too competitive academically. They look more for fits, rather than Stats.
@ILR2020 According to the 2015 fall transfer profile, 79.7% attended 4-year college of university, only 20.3% attended 2-year community college. If you count all of 20.3% as transfer guaranteed students, you still have 0.797 multiply 40% (acceptance rate of ILR) equals to 32%. Also, it is impossible that all of 20.3% are transfer guaranteed students.
My college report and college transcript have not yet been checked off. I sent them around March 3rd. Should I be concerned about this? Or are they still processing stuff?
Also does anyone know the transfer acceptance rate for CALS and HUMEC without factoring in guaranteed transfers?
@littlecloud123 I sent my college and high school transcripts by the end of Feb, but they have not been checked off. For CALS, according to the data of 2011, 679 applied, 318 accepted rate46.8%. For Human ecology, 112 applied, 61 accepted rate54.5%. Among the 20.3% (total number is 102)who last attended 2-year community college, 60 of them attended New York State community college. So I guess around 10% of incoming transfer students are guaranteed transfers. Therefore, you can multiply 46.8% and 54.5% with 0.9 and you will get 42.12% and 49.1%. However, this is based on the data of 2011.
@ILRmaybe It’s incredibly inaccurate to judge from a single transfer thread. Go look at the 2015 Cornell Transfer Thread and you’ll see what I mean. Almost everyone got in for ILR from that thread, as well as applicants from previous threads. People on these threads represent a small percentage of the total ILR transfer applicants, considering over 100 gets in every year, but theres only like 10-15 ILR applicants on each year’s thread.
@Mastodon97 I agree, since most people do not post
Can ILR applicants please post their stats?
Is the cornell portal down for anyone else?
@Mastodon97 Nope, mine is up and working. HS Transcript still missing tho
