I don’t know if there is such thing as an “official thread,” I think it’s self-proclaimed. I might be wrong. I just want to get together with the rest of the transfer hopefuls and talk.

High school I didn’t do as well- 3.4 GPA(at a competitive high school, but still), 1430-ish on SATs, 32 on ACT. I was sick for a month in Sophomore year, and as a result took a huge hit to my GPA(I wrote about this).
How are my chances? I worry that Clarkson’s lack of selectiveness relative to Cornell will hurt my chances.
Did anyone check off everything? I sent my college report a month ago and it is still marked not received. Also, my high school transcript and mid term report
I also sent in my HS transcript, college report and college transcript several weeks ago and they are not checked off. I imagine they have not gotten through all the back logged materials yet and updated our portals. I’m sure now that the application deadline has passed we will start to see updates!
@SmartJarhead to clarify, these things are seen through the self-service right…? I’m a little confused because I turned in my application pretty close to the due date but I haven’t seen things like transcripts boxes where they’re not check or anything of that sort
@betterintime Hey, I turned in my application like 2 weeks before the deadline and the materials way before that and mine still aren’t on there. I called and they said not to worry, and that it takes time to match things up. I’ll probably wait one more week and call again.
hi guys!
