<p>Have you guys sent in your responses to Cornell yet? They were supposedly due 6/1 for a guarenteed spot in the university, but are we allowed to send them in after that date?</p>
<p>Has anyone else not even heard yet?? S hasn't (Engineering), although I think he's choosing a different school anyway. Kind of annoying not to hear yet, though, with other schools' reply deadlines passing like flies. His app was in plenty early, too.</p>
<p>what school is he choosing over cornell? just curious</p>
<p>I haven't heard yet too (also engineering). They said its delaying because I was rejected from my first choice major and they forwarded it to my second chioice department for review. Their disregard for deadlines is so annoying, I am tempted to click "Withdraw my application" button each time I see my decision haven't made yet.</p>
<p>ten20j, were you accepted also?
I was told that you can send in the deposite 2 weeks after you have received the financial aid information, so don't worry too much.</p>
<p>CNCL, yes I was accepted (fortunately). However I am facing a ridiculous amount of credit-loss if I go. They are saying that I would be starting at the first semester sophomore level. Apparently they are hesitant on giving me credit for freshmen-level math courses. I don't understand why they are so stingy about these things, especially since I am coming from a (supposedly) peer institution. I am awaiting a tentative credit award before I decide if I should go.</p>
<p>jmmom and NJCCstudent,</p>
<p>yes, Cornell Engineering is notifying their applicants ridiculously late. I only heard very recently. It is very annoying.</p>

<p>Is that what it says in the acceptance letter? Are you a sophomore at your previous school? If so I think there may be an error somewhere because my impression from them was, as long as it's somewhat equivalent to a class they have at Cornell, it will get transferred. Did you remember to submit a course description along with the application? Maybe they didn't get it thus had no clue what the class was about? I asked for a credit evaluation too but was told it's not possible until around first/second week of June. </p>

College of Engineering may have a more rigid requirement, especially with math classes.</p>

<p>When did you hear? I thought they are quite on time this year especially with their new admissions staff in place because I heard around the 23rd or so of May.</p>
<p>CNCL: </p>
<p>I just completed sophomore year at my current school, and would prefer not to repeat it at Cornell. With my application I included a list of all the courses I have taken and attached their respective course descriptions which list the topics covered and the number of hours met per week. I am fairly certain that they've recieved this, and are just not giving enough respect to my courseload. But I don't understand why they would even accept me if I have apparently failed so horribly to meet their criteria as a rising junior. </p>
<p>I got my acceptance sometime last week, which may have been rather timely for Cornell Engineering, but it is still quite late for transfers in general.</p>
<p>I would read over the course descriptions of those required math classes at Cornell, i.e., 191/192/293/294 and see if there is much difference in the topics covered; I am sure you will have a case to argue if they aren't all that different. Did you ask them about this? This may very well be a mistake. Also try write to Meredith and see if that will help.</p>
<p>I have read over the course descriptions, and I believe I've satisfied all the topics with the exception of partial differential equations, one of the topics in Math 293. I would not mind if I get credit for all but one course. However, I recieved an email from the ECE student services office and they were not even certain I would be awarded Math 191 from a class I took that met for 5 hours a week and covered all the material in 191 (and more). If this first-level math course is so uncertain, it would be scary to think what they will do for my higher-level ECE courses. Perhaps I will try to query Meredith. Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>No problem though I'm not sure if I helped. Did it say in your acceptance letter that you would start as a sophomore? I am somewhat worried now that I heard this, I will probably email them again asking for a credit evaluation before I make a decision.</p>
<p>In the acceptance letter it did not mention anything about my credit standing. However, I received an email and a second letter from Mark Spencer stating: "Your major department has determined that you would begin your engineering program at the first semester sophomore level." I would imagine that if you got the same email, stating that you would begin at the first semester junior level, you would in all likelihood be set.</p>
<p>I'm really interested in CALS. I plan on applying for next fall and would appreciate it if yall could give me an idea of your GPAs, SATs, etc...stuff that you think got you in. I either need a rude awakening or some encouragement and I think those that have just been admitted could help me out alot. Thanks.</p>
<p>Ok sorry for the stupid question which has probably been answered countless times, but what does CALS mean?</p>
<p>College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, I believe...lol...I guess I should know but I don't feel like going to look it up for sure.</p>
<p>haha that's ok...better than I could have done</p>
