Only applied to one, Cornell. If it doesn’t work out, will make the best of it staying put. Would love the closure one way or another.

Do we think more CAS decisions will come out this week? Like is it school-specific during the second week or random

917

From years past it seems random.

do you guys think a lot of people will get in this year since not many applied?

919

A looooooot of ppl applied to Ivy school this year because of test optional policy
Don’t know for sure for cornell since cornell was test optional for transfers even before pandemic

920

To your point, the financial aid group and admissions were and are overwhelmed. I assume it won’t impact transfer apps much but who knows:

921

Yeah
 it had huge impact on freshman apps but we’ll see for transfers gotta hope it doesn’t impact much

922

Wow, that article was quite interesting. Hopefully transfer admissions won’t be brutally selective for us. Though, I’d honestly assume that transfer applicants are more favorable because we already displayed achievement at the college level so the significance of test scores are little to none and a school might feel more confident in that sort of applicant as compared to a highschooler.

The selectiveness of first-year admissions this year will have little to no impact on transfer admissions. While these selective universities receive more applicants, they will only accept and enroll the same amount that they usually would in any given year. The spots for students within the sophomore class may be more limited because more students will be applying for re-admission after taking a gap year, but students applying for junior-level transfer will be likely not be affected at all.

Just for comparison a non-traditional applicant posted on the Brown transfer thread that he was admitted early and his acceptance letter said Brown received over 2700 transfer applications this year (about 600+ more than historically 
~2000).

925

Wow, that’s for Brown too. Cornell is notorious for transfers so I can imagine how many more applied for this time around lol.

926

They are and they have their TO cohort to contend with too
sigh

Transfers don’t get waitlisted. Either Accepted or Denied I think.

And OMG, I got a dream last night too. It’s a bit funny. The decision was out but I couldn’t log into the portal after several times trying. Woke up after that haha.

928

Actually, transfers do get waitlists at Cornell and I legit have that dream all the time.

929

Depends on colleges? SHA doesn’t offer waitlist for transfers. :frowning:

How did you know not a lot applied haha? I’ve seen some people who just appeared in this group recently LOL.
