<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I'm transferring from University of Michigan to Cornell CALS for the Fall 2010 intake. I recently put in my mid-term form and I was wondering if universities like Cornell will grant you admission based on the work you've done so far as well as on the mid-terms or will they wait for the grades of the courses you're doing this semester before offering admission?</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>for fall they usually wait to see your final transcript. for spring, they use midterm grades but you need to send them an updated transcript at the end anyway.</p>
<p>It’s going to depend on both when C announces it’s transfer decisions (I can’t find it on their website, but many schools are early May) and when your school finishes/when you can get them either an official or unofficial transcript.</p>
<p>A couple of years ago when D1 applied for transfers, she too was attending UM which gets out very early, so she sent copies of her grade report (unofficial) to colleges. Don’t know whether or not it got there in time to make a difference, but figured that it couldn’t hurt.</p>
<p>I got accepted before final grades were out. Acceptance is obviously contingent on how those final grades turn out…</p>
<p>Thanks all who replied. Caille, you mentioned that you got accepted BEFORE final grades were out which means that they expect you to maintain your standard but initial acceptance is not based on how your final grades since you’ll only submit those scores when you’re there right?</p>
<p>There was a slight contradiction in your statement so wanted to clarify. =)</p>
<p>Yes, it’s exactly like fr admissions: the decision is made BEFORE final grades are out, but if accepted, you must submit a FINAL transcript because the school might rescind your admission if you don’t maintain your grades.</p>
<p>The exception to the rule would be at a school like UM where they finish very early; IF YOU WANT TO, you could send in an unofficial grade report and it MIGHT be considered in the decision.</p>
<p>Ah yeah I meant this:
