With so many posts in this thread, it’s difficult to keep track of the people who got accepted and to which division. Has anyone been accepted to Dyson yet?
Which division?
This breaks the trend then of everyone so far finding out on a Tuesday about their decision.
@Yankeefan20 did you apply to AEM at Dyson? I think one TO got in and 1 or 2 non TOS got rejected. its really tough to get in to Dyson NON TO
No I did not submit one to Dyson but I think Dyson is somewhat confusing because the Cornell’s website also talks about Dyson being part of CALS. I believe it used to be part of CALS prior to the creation of the Johnson School of Business. I wasn’t sure if Dyson applicants have their choice between the Johnson and CALS Divisions.
I misread the post. The acceptance was a Tuesday although it was checked on Thursday.
If anyone knows current Cornell students or alums of the school, does CALS specifically have a reputation of being a lot more transfer friendly than the other divisions? According to the statistics from prior years, it accepts a lot more transfers.
Dyson acceptances will only come out once they get a number of how many freshmen will enroll
Traditionally Architecture and Engineering seem to be the two most difficult divisions to transfer. In addition to CALS, are any others considered easier?
What is tricky with the statistics from prior years is that we don’t know how many transfers were internal transfers and how many had the transfer option that you all speak about.
Are internal transfers included in the statistics of transfers?
It wouldnt really be easier @yankeefan20, it is just that they get the most applicants and have the most majors
I applied for CS within CAS.
Answering # 1366 :
“If anyone knows current Cornell students or alums of the school, …”
I’m an alum
"…does CALS specifically have a reputation of being a lot more transfer friendly than the other divisions?
Yes.
I would say the contract colleges generally had this reputation, but CALS is the biggest contract college so possibly sports the most visible transfer #s for this reason alone.
Among the endowed division colleges, hotel generally had a decent number of transfers, proportionally. But still small in absolute numbers. During the period that I looked at these, the admit rates for the other endowed division colleges were about the same as their freshman admit rates, though architecture might have been yet more difficult.
@Yankeefan20 you definitely need to speak with an admissions officer or something. You posted at least 12 comments of questions that we simply cannot answer. We are just speculating. If you want real answers, contact admissions
What about CAS/A&S? Does anyone know if it is particularly hard to transfer into Cornell’s CAS History or Economics?

How are other divisions such as CALS able to release decisions prior to the freshmen enrollment date?
I am still waiting for my decision and hoping to receive in the next round on coming Tuesday. I applied to CAS as a government major. Submitted my application and required documents in the beginning of March.
@yankeefan20 for CALS it is probably that there are a set number of spaces for transfer applicants and once more open spots are confirmed, more transfer students can be accepted
it has to do with the selectivity of the program…
I think speculating doesn’t do any good. It only makes you overthink everything and every little detail
We’ve already submitted everything and finished our apps. There is literally nothing more we can do.
Everyone gets their decisions on different times. People get accepted and rejected every week, we will all have our decisions soon, we just have to be patient.
Each school has a different system as to how their admissions work, don’t be concerned if you haven’t gotten your decision but people have.
Unrelated: Just thought i’d say Nice considering what page this is on.
