Engineering transfers to Cornell for Fall '09

<p>pacific, no email from CoE regarding final grades, tho i did send over my mid-term grades…“initial review”? i wonder what that supposed to mean…anyway, just do what you were asked. good luck!</p>

<p>fofo, yeah…it’s gonna suck so bad if we won’t find out the decisions till after mid-May…but Good luck in Purdue!</p>

<p>Thanks noobie, good luck to you, too wherever you are next fall.</p>

<p>Yea I received an email like that, the one requesting final grades before making a decision.</p>

<p>Pacific_Ocean, what major is it u are applying to??</p>

<p>hey fofo. I see why now, indecision can be frustrating. Purdue is definitely a good choice and up there with the best engineering schools. Unfortunately for me i applied to only 3 schools and decisions dont come out till 15 so for now am still stuck. good decision though. wish i had applied to more schools</p>

<p>Like chris said, I’m shocked some of those guys got rejected. It’s taking them a long time and they’re harsh too. Ophelia and pacific, if everyone needs to send in final grades before they make a final decision, that’s a good sign that you still have a chance! If they ask me for mine, looks like I’m not going to get in. I would think I have a chance without my final grades. I hope they don’t ask EVERYONE for final grades before a decision…</p>

<p>Ophelia, I’ve applied as a Computer Science major. What about you?</p>

<p>zirtico, I really hope they admit you without asking for final grades. I’m guessing I’m one of the ‘‘may be’s’’ and they are unsure of my potential, so that’s why they requested to see final grades. That may not be the case with you, Zirtsie, so hang in there buddy!</p>

<p>Haha thanks pacific. I hope they don’t ask me for the final grades and say instead, “WOW! Zirtico is a phenomenal student! We’re taking him and giving him lots of aid!” well, maybe not quite that. I hope I’m a yes for sure, otherwise, I think I’m a no. Fingers crossed. I wonder if they ask everyone engineer transfer applicant for their final grades before making decisions…</p>

<p>pacific_ocean, my major is computer science too!!! What are ur courses for second term??? Cuz for mine, I took the data structures course, and I got an A- so I am so scared cuz this course is like a huge requirement for CS. I think engineering might just be asking final grades from CS applicants only cuz the requirements for CS are so much that some courses in CS may be crucial to determining whether an applicant has the prerequisites. Omg, if this is the case i regret so so so so much about screwing up my cs final, I was so close to getting an A+, but decided that second term grades dun matter and didn’t bother studying for the final. Arghhhhhhh…now i am definitely ****ed…</p>

<p>Haha Ophelia, not as much as me. I have a chance without sending in my final grades but if they ask me to do that, I think it’s over.</p>

<p>but what major are u applying to??? Cuz like if you are applying for like operations research and u completed pretty much all ur essential major-specific requirements in the Fall, then I doubt they’ll ask for ur final grades. I think they only ask final grades from those who have courses in the current term that are essential pre-requisites. That’s my guess. But if they haven’t asked for ur final grades yet, I think u are safe. Cuz me and Pacific_Ocean got that email thing on the same day, and since engineering only has like 200 applicants? I think if they want final grades sent, they’ll send that email to all applicants at the same time. Although one may also argue that they do it major-wise…haha, but this is getting way too detailed, i guess i’ll stop here</p>

<p>Haha analysis like an engineer ophelia! Maybe they DO do it major-wise. But at the same time, they might have done it all at the same time. I applied to chemical eng. Hmm…</p>

<p>haha yup! engineer heart and soul, lol. Well, not sure if I would still be that if cornell rejects me front right and centre just b/c I got an A-…Maybe I should write a letter to the admissions office saying how I’ve been getting an A+ all along but that I messed up my final exam cuz I broke up with my bf the day before and I cried all tonight and had no sleep…</p>

<p>But yea, Zirtico, I am sure u are fine. It’s like May and I think if they want final grades they would’ve already asked for it. So yea, be optimistic and let’s hope that everything works out nicely!</p>

<p>I’m sorry Ophelia! I hope you feel better now…you’ll find another Hamlet :wink: and yeah, I’ll try and be optimistic and hope things work out okay. And write them a letter for sure!</p>

<p>oh i was just joking about the bf thing, lol, haha, although I am curious whether the admissions officers will actually believe these things…I mean u can always make things like, like u caught the swine flu or sth…</p>

<p>o wait, nvm, lol XD</p>

<p>Hahahaha hmm, I wonder if they would… heheheh</p>

<p>wow…i just called and the lady told me we will find out the decision around mid-June the LATEST!!!
seriously??? this is not cool…</p>

<p>This is ■■■■■■■■. We’ve had 2 “initial reviews” so far on CC and no decisions. I really honestly they’re a lazy bunch. There are only like 250 applicants and no decisions yet. The final decisions need to start coming out this week…</p>
