<p>I have a question. What was your gpa wavebrk088? What was the</p>
<p>acceptance rate for IRL? I have a 4.0 this term do go along with </p>
<p>my 3.5 gpa. My gpa will rise a little more from this term. I wonder if this</p>
<p>is enough? I also published a poem in a contest at my community college </p>
<p>which was 57 entries out of 400.</p>
<p>on second thought, me and a few friends who are also at cornell are applying to some of the dorms on North Campus.</p>
<p>my friends were at North campus last semester and they loved it. They told me that if I couldnt get North, then I should probably let them place me in the transfer housing at Hasboruough cause the social life is pretty good there.</p>
<p>goldcoast:</p>
<p>If you mean my college GPA, then I recieved a 3.89 first semester and a 3.54 second semester. The GT contract requires 3.3 cumulative and no classes below a 'B'.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if that's exactly enough. Does your community college have a contract with Cornell? Keep in mind, a lot of people are applying for transfer, and most of them have really high GPAs.</p>
<p>I'm not sure about the transfer acceptance rate for ILR. You can check the numbers, but don't let the high acceptance rate fool you. Guaranteed Transfers are usually counted in the transfer acceptance rate, thus making it quite large.</p>
<p>For non-transfers, the acceptance rate is roughly 250/750.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>can we take summer courses that counts as part of our requirement. for example, if i want to take biology or english at the local cc this summer will it count? or do i have to take all the classes at the college im going to next year?</p>
<p>wavebrk088, transfers can live in alice cook?
and isnt north campus (hasbrouk apts) really far from campus?
it would be hell to walk back and forth... right
especially in the freezing cold</p>
<p>My community college is in chicago illinois. There is properly not a contract</p>
<p>with cornell. Though I have a high gpa. I would be a transfer student.</p>
<p>How do I get an email?</p>
<p>Please help? :)</p>
<p>lol go on the Applicant self-service, they should have steps to set up your email.... once you have a Net-ID and password go here: uportal.cornell.edu!</p>

<p>hey everyone,</p>
<p>Im new to CC but i saw this post and had to reply lol. I also got in as a GT for ILR fall 2007. I went to a NY state school for a year not too far from Cornell. In response to Dr_Mom, I made REALLY good friends at my first school. Like, these are people i could be friends with for the rest of my life. I told them i had the option of transferring to Cornell in the beginning of our friendship so it wasnt really too much of a shock when I told them I was leaving. It was still really sad though, it was made a little easier because the 2 schools are only 30-40mins apart so Im sure i'll see them on some weekends. The requirements were not that hard to fill at all, the administration at Cornell understands that every school is different and they were pretty lenient in accepting whatever I was able to take. I also did really well on some AP tests so that helped too. I had an amazing first year at college, I learned alot about myself and I'm prepared to continue that self-realization in Cornell. </p>
<p>This is to the other GT's, I haven't received anything in the mail about housing or dining or anything, should I be worried? I talked to Ian and he said everything should be in the mail, but i thought it was coming out around this time for everyone, not just me. Just in case i have to make some hurried decisions, what are you all choosing for housing and dining and classes and stuff? From what I understand, our first semester schedule at Cornell will be pretty set, but I have no clue where to start in terms of housing and dining. I only vaguely know that I'll be living on West Campus, any suggestions?? </p>
<p>Also on a side note, if we're all going to ILR as transfers, i think we'll be seeing alot of each other haha</p>
<p>Oh hi new GT! :) you should definitely call them about your stuff, you should get a case for Cornell packet and also a Cornell bound packet once you send in your deposit! also you can sign up for housing online…but we still have time to decide things like meal plans etc… </p>
<p>We’ll be seeing each other around next year for sure! say, are you in our facebook group?</p>
<p>Alternative247--Thanks for thinking of me when you posted! My S sounds like he will be in a situation similar to yours (a NYS school not terribly far from Ithaca)--did you go to a 4-year school, or a 2-year? Congrats. on making the requirements! It's good to hear that your friends accepted your decision, and that you're still motivated to transfer, even after making such good friends at your first school. If you, or one of them has a car, I would think there will be many fun weekends when you could get together.</p>
<p>ILR sounds like such a great school for the GT. My S is in another college, and I hope he has even 1/2 the good experience that the ILR GTs here on CC talk about! Oh, and welcome to College Confidential (I'm relatively new, too)! :)</p>
<p>p.s. for others reading this--I'm going to Cornell's commencement tomorrow for another family member--there's a prediction of rain, but we'll see how it goes. They might have to resort to the "indoor plan." I went last year, sat in the stadium, and it was a beautiful day! This is something you all have to look forward to! :)</p>
<p>Hi everyone, congrats on your acceptance to CU. I was a GT last year into CALS, and I will be a RA for transfers as well as working on the orientation staff. If you guys have any questions you can IM or PM me.</p>
<p>Reading the last couple of posts, I'll try to answer and address some of the questions. As for the Cornell bound, housing and dinning packets, they always come late to transfers, I remember I got my last year and half the deadlines have already passed. But don't worry, you will have housing and you will have dinning. If things do not let you apply online anymore, just call the respective office and explain your situation they will go out of their way to help you. </p>
<p>Although I'm in CALS, most of my transfer friends are in ILR. You will know every transfer in ILR by the middle of your first semester, that's how tight the group is. Two other transfer RAs will be in ILR if you need help with anything in that school, I know nothing about organizational behavior and labor law. I have heard 60% of ILR are transfers.</p>
<p>As for the living situation, the transfer program is going to be in Hasbrouck Apartments, I'm not going to sugar coat anything...it will be far from campus, but there is a bus that goes to central campus every 10 minutes. I highly suggest living there for at least one semester, because it gets all the transfers together and the friendships will start forming and you have someone who is in the same situation. We also have some great events planned for the new transfers, anything and everything you can think of, bowling...ice cream socials. The housing on West if new and it's roomy, but no one in there is social because they have their group of friends already. If you are living on West, you'll have to walk 30 minutes to North campus anyways for Orientation. Trust me, the transfers will be like family by end of the year.</p>
<p>yg18,</p>
<p>im a little confused about housing. will we have a choice between hasbrouck and West Campus? I really liked the look and feel of West Campus and Ive never even heard of the hasbrouck apartments. What are the apartments like? Are they a social atmosphere like other undergraduate dorms or will it be alot of (boring) graduate students?</p>
<p>yes you will get a "choice" between hasbrouck and west campus, it really depends on where there is space for you. When there was a transfer center, it would always be full and have a waiting list. Hasbrouck apartments used to be the graduate housing, now it will be half and half. The apartments are REALLY NICE. The bottom floor has a full kitchen, dinning area, and a tv viewing area. Upstairs is a bathroom, a double, and a single. Undergraduate dorms on west are not social. Last year people from other west campus buildings would come to the transfer center because it is the most social place other than the freshman dorms. This year with the apartment style housing it will be different, but we are still trying to make it as social as possible, and don't worry all transfer students are very social and fun. There will be grad students around, some even with small children, but you are going to be with transfer and not really notice them.</p>
<p>so i mailed in my GT letter thing but do you know where we can find the list of the ppl who had their letters recieved?</p>
<p>lists are not public</p>
<p>hello everyone, just like alternative, i'm also new to CC. i'm a CALS GT for fall 07. just as reassurance, i also have not received any packets in the mail, but i'm not too worried about it at this point- i'm sure everything will come as we need it.</p>
<p>yg18- i've got a couple questions for you about hasbrouck (i've decided i want to live there). will there be parking for transfer students? exactly how far is the walk to central campus? finally, what/where/how far is the closest dining hall?</p>
<p>acerbic- is the facebook group limited to only ilr transfers?</p>
<p>dr_mom- my situation is somewhat similar to alternatives, i went to a 4 year NY state school not too far from ithaca (~3 hrs away) and really loved it there. The school is about 3 miles from my house so a lot of the people i went to high school with went there. making friends was really easy and they're all happy for me to go to cornell. as an added benefit whenever i go home on breaks i get to visit them :) to be quite honest, it took me a while to decide whether or not i wanted to stay or go to cornell. i made a list of the pros/cons and eventually decided cornell is the place for me- mainly because the major i am most passionate for is only located at cornell</p>
