Dang I’m also a CAS Math and looking two rejection from Math seems to me that they just don’t have spots for the major. I guess I’ll find out later!
Anyways, congrats to everyone who got in!
Accepted to CALS (Non-TO). Major: V&E
College GPA 3.9 (High school drop-out; no SAT or ACT)
I’m a community college student (Sophomore - degree not complete) and a lifetime NYS resident.
I received my email at nearly 8pm. My Financial Aid portal does NOT show a change from “initiated”. It’s still the same as it’s always been.
It’s easy for me to say this since I was accepted but I see a lot of worrying and fretting in this thread. As other have also said, it’s not worth freaking out about. My short stated advice is simply to be prepared for rejection and allow yourself the dignity of other options that have their own unique benefits. Cornell isn’t a “perfect” institution, because no school can be. Like any university, Cornell has pros and cons. Try to make sure your other options provide for alternatives that Cornell may not be able to offer you. A good example might be people who hate winter. If you’re rejected, maybe an alternative school has nice, warmer winters or maybe their class size is smaller…maybe another school is closer to family. Cornell is great (I applied for a reason!) but it shouldn’t become an idol of worship, if you get what I mean. Your success is your determination and hard work. As happy as I am that I was accepted, Cornell can’t spoon feed me or anyone else with success, so just remember that.
Good luck to everyone else!
What are TO’s?
@Yankeefan20 TOs are students who had a transfer option after high school to Cornell. They can attend any institution they’d like for a year, and then the following year they have a transfer option to go to Cornell. I don’t think they have to go through the whole application process, but they do have to keep high grades
I just came up with a horrifying thought. Cornell only accepted 23 students to CE as a transfer last year. And considering there are about 12 majors CE offers, each major only accept about 2-3 students.

Where did you find this data? Is it on the cornell website somewhere
@blueki It is from Cornell. http://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Profile2019-Fall-Transfers.pdf
TO everyone waiting for a decision next week.
ENjoy the rest of your week and dont stress about it! Be safe and looking forward to Tuesday!
If we received an acceptance letter yesterday, how long do we have to accept the offer?
says 30 days for me
I did not hear anything yesterday from CALS, seems like not a good sign
I emailed CAS! This is what they said:
“Unfortunately, our decision-making is rather delayed because of the extension of the application deadline. We have only a few spots and thousands of applications, so we need to review most of them before making final decisions. But we are hoping to have most of them finalized in two big batches that will be released next week and the following week. Notifications are posted on Tuesdays”
Has anyone reached out to CALS?
I have not reached out to CALS but was thinking about it. If you do, please let me know what they say!
can somebody maybe reach out to dyson?? Like i said i want to commit to my new school by next week.
I emailed Dyson, so I will inform you guys what they say once they answer.
Almost seems as if CALS accepted all non-TOs yesterday. I hope I’m wrong, but just how it seems.
I applied for SHA non-to. Here’s what their admissions office said about decisions:
“Thank you for your email. Transfer admission decisions are rolling and announced throughout May and June.”
Just for fun, here’s my theory about the decision-making process!
The AOs start by evaluating as many applications as possible, mostly TO, rejecting any obviously under-qualified applicants and accepting the outstanding ones. The rest, the “eh, not bad” applicants, get thrown into the next-week pile.
Each week, they release the previously-made decisions (our weekly batch of results) and sift through the remaining applications more carefully, so that they can better gauge the strength of the applicant pool. They gradually narrow down the applicants to those who, based on their applications, are most qualified for the remaining seats in the class. These decisions are then released in the following weeks (the remaining batches).
Later on, if some accepted students decide not to enroll, they’ll accept a couple more qualified applicants (the final, small batches).
Yeah, I’m bored
