Hey, was this email sent by finaid@cornell.edu??
It was sent by cornell-notify@support.mail.cornell.edu
I think its a good sign tho, if you havent recieved your official acceptance letter yet!
what would my financial aid status switch to on Friday or Monday?
I applied March 15th for Dyson, but I havenât received any communication from Cornell besides the initial email that they got my application. Should I be worried?
I would not bet on financial aid stuff being an indicator. Admissions and financial do not directly communicate from what I know. Admissions does not know if you are applying for financial aid, since they are need blind. I think they prep things for everyone, but I could be wrong about that. I would wait for your actual decision

Yea, Iâm on there and found a (hopeful) roommate there, but it is still relatively dead I think. Now just looking to meet even more people to chill and hang out with before semester starts.
also made a small lil discord Discord for my fellow transfers. if any1 is interested in joining, feel free to. not many people there yet but hopefully itâll growâŠ

I agree with this! I hate to be that person but I went through the same thing and ended up getting rejected last week. Your case could be different so who knows! But I would keep my hopes a bit low just incase :)) good luck!!
How long did it take people to get which classes transfer?

So here is what I learned in my convo with Finaid. If you have an extenuating circumstance like job loss, and you wrote about it in the CSS profile, donât expect any special plan. You have to take the step of filing an appeal and attaching your current tax return showing you didnât get a W2. Then maybe theyâll consider it. And they are quoting 120 days to review appeals, so youâll likely have to pay what they initially charged you in the initial award in August. Not sure what happens then for semester 2. 
I cant afford to even pay even if i know i will get a refund. This is so sadâŠ
Maybe each situation is different. I canât believe an appeal would take 120 days.
Thatâs weird tbh! I got mine within like a week or two
anyone else still havenât received a decision letter yetâŠ?

I applied for Dyson on 3/15 as well and although Iâve spoken to someone once or twice, I havenât heard anything since late march or early-mid April. Still havenât received a decision yet
