<p>Thank you for your application to Cornell University. We regret to let you know that we are unable to offer you admission to Cornell. Given our very large and competitive applicant pool, it is not possible to offer admission to all candidates who would benefit from a Cornell education.</p>
<p>Within the next few days you will receive notification from the undergraduate college to which youve applied that you are being offered a transfer option. Please contact the college directly if you have any questions.</p>
<p>We wish you the best as you consider your collegiate options.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Jason Locke
Director
Undergraduate Admissions Office
Cornell University</p>
<p>They don’t have room for you now. You should accept and deposit at another school, earn a 3.3 or better GPA with nothing below a B, and you will be able to transfer if you want to after a certain number of semesters.</p>
<p>This is a GOOD thing … maybe not your dream of being on East Hill in September 2010 but still good. You still have a chance of graduating from Schulkoff Stadium in May 2014 …</p>
<p>I got that too, for Biometry and Statistics at CALS. I don’t really understand why they would do that; For me, though, it sounds like I could take the required freshman courses at the local university for much less cost than a year at Cornell and end up ahead of the game if it all worked out.</p>
<p>I just got mine today! I’m so happy! I think that it has different GPA’s that you have to keep up for different schools mine says 3.0 and I got it for the hotel school. </p>
<p>How many of these do they give out does anyone know?</p>
<p>My mom called for me and they said take the core classes that are listed under the major you applied for and maintain a 3.0 and you have a 99.99% chance of getting in. You need to fill out the form on the website saying that you are pursuing this option. A very few select number of students go this I guess. Basically you were accepted for sophomore year. They told my mom that they really want the student, but there simply isn’t enough room. You can go wherever you want for the first year, even a community college to save money if you want, and they will stay in contact with you, and send you a shortened transfer app for next fall. Congrats! You’re an almost Cornellian:)</p>
<p>i’m guessing the gpa requirement varies from college to college.
and class requirements too, because i’m required to take a certain amount of credits for each subject.</p>
<p>Thank you for applying for freshman admission to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at Cornell University. The Admissions Committee has completed application review and final decisions have been made. Admission was extremely competitive due to enrollment limitations and the number of qualified applicants to CALS this year.</p>
<p>The Admissions Committee is extending to you a Transfer Option to CALS for the Fall 2011 semester in the Nutritional Sciences program as a sophomore. The Transfer Option is awarded to a select number of students who apply to CALS for Freshman Admission, and have demonstrated a sincere interest in the College’s mission.</p>
<p>Candidates who receive a Transfer Option, are provided with transfer planning and advising throughout the year and complete only a short application. The Transfer Option is a final decision and is not an acceptance. There are firm course requirements that must be met and a short application that needs to be submitted for transfer consideration.</p>
<p>Review the Transfer Option summary and requirements webpage. This information will answer your questions and assist you with your transfer planning. Bookmark this page for future reference.</p>
<p>If you wish to pursue your Transfer Option you are asked to complete and submit the reply form by June 1. If you are unsure at this time, it is advised to complete the form. Submitting the form is not binding and confirms you would like CALS Admissions Office to communicate with you throughout the year. If you reply yes, you will receive an email confirmation by the end of June and periodic CALS updates throughout the year.</p>
<p>We sincerely appreciate your interest in the College and look forward to your positive response to this option.</p>
<p>major question… IS THIS A GUARANTEED TRANSFER???</p>
<p>my daughter got the transfer option, too. she will attend berkeley for her first year. her stats are 2210 SAT, 32 ACT, 760 Biology and 750 Lit. 3.98 , 4.42 GPA. we are so happy to have an option for the next year just in case she does not get used to the public university. the main concern is to get a 3.5 GPA in biological science classes at berkeley.</p>
<p>TahTah … they call it a transfer option, but the rest of us are calling it a Guaranteed Transfer! It’s not an acceptance per se, but successfully complete the requirements and you’re in!</p>
<p>FYI Cornell takes somewhere around 600 transfers a year, GT and otherwise, so you will not be alone!</p>
<p>tahtah, I am a nutritional science transfer option as well:)
Like I said before, it is basically guaranteed and you were pretty much accepted as a sophomore, my mom called the admissions and that is what they told her. </p>
<p>Also I am pretty sure each different school and major have different GPA requirements which is why everybody’s is different.</p>
<p>You can also go to school wherever, even a CC, but I personally am attending UMass Amherst</p>
<p>As for my stats (someone asked earlier)
SAT: 1730, 1140
GPA: 3.5
EC’s: Lots of music, tutoring, black belt, volunteer work, etc
Recs: Pretty decent, got one from my principal
I attended CU summer college as a sophomore and got a 3.7, I feel attending this program really gives you a leg up. My great-grandfather also attended CU</p>
<p>My daughter (CALS applicant, Natural Resources) got this e-mail a long time ago but didn’t tell me until last week when they sent her a reminder that she hadn’t responded. Initially she was sort of negative about it - she’d put Cornell behind her - until a friend (current Cornell student, his mom is an alumni rep) told her it was a guaranteed transfer. The letter does not say that. For now she is keeping her options open. Maybe she’ll be there with some of you in the fall of 2014! She’s doing her first year, at least, at Binghamton.</p>
<p>Does anyone know once you meet the requirement and transfer successfully, do you get finaicial aid package like regular admits or you’ll have to pay in full?</p>
