Cornell Fall 2018 Transfer Thread

@msport Cornell stressed us out with these missing documents. Everyone was trying to find out why his/her files haven’t cleared out yet. Looks like we are done with that now.

Hello Guys, wish you the best that you get into your respective schools.

Does anyone mind looking at my stats to see if looks good. I’m applying for the school of Engineering. My application just got under review like 2 days ago.

College GPA: 3.638
High School: 3.75
Mid-Term Report: 4.0
I think I have A+ writing for both my essays, about weight loss and passion for electrical engineering
SATs poorly, did not submit my scores. Were like 1460 out of 2400.
I did school activities like played sports, college government, piano tutoring, and math or science tutoring.

Does my chances look decent?

Anyone know what it means when the financial aid transfer transcript changes from “initiated” to “ordered”?

@idekidc try the pin trick I think you might have been accepted

@futur3clssof2o2o the pin trick didn’t work for me :confused:

@idekidc weird. maybe its because you’re a GT?

@futur3clssof2o2o maybe? Idk what it means tho lol

@idekidc I looked at some previous threads and there was someone who also had their financial aid go from initiated to ordered and were accepted a few days later

@idekidc more specifically, it changed for them on a friday and they were accepted on the upcoming tuesday

@futur3clssof2o2o i’ll try the pin trick on monday and let this thread know. But idk if I would get an online decision, since humec (the college i applied to) typically lets TO’s know via a letter. Thanks for letting me know tho! Goodluck!!!

Did you guys complete the CSS Profile or was FAFSA enough for the deadline?

@ChadisWack from my understanding its a requirement for the financial aid application if you want to be considered for university grants. FAFSA is only for federal aid consideration. I would complete it ASAP.

@ChadisWack do both! I think FAFSA is only the federal aid which gives way less than the university grants

Also, my materials have all been checked off and sent for review! yayyyy. It seems like they are speeding up now.

@Boroboro when did you submit the last of your materials? I’m curious because it looked like they were going through February and my transcripts were received in March they’re just not updated on the portal.

@socal77 mine was sent out in late Feb. I am not sure when it was received but it was just checked off this morning. I think yours will be checked off soon. Try not to worry :slight_smile: Good luck!!

Thank you for answering my question, was not aware what was a CSS. Will do so today or tomorrow.

How do you know if your financial aid went from initiated to ordered?

@CollegeIsHardxx go to the financial aid to do list. Look for the transfer transcript. What does yours say?

@idekidc it still says intitaited. Maybe I was rejected? I wonder what other people’s say.
