<p>To GTs: </p>
<p>Where will you be going and what school at Cornell will you be going to in 2013?</p>
<p>Wait so this is guaranteed admission so long as I fill in the requirements that they set up for me?</p>
<p>If I do that and send in the application, I am guaranteed admission?</p>
<p>This is great! I now have a chance to attend my school and see if I like it before going to Cornell.</p>
<p>BTW, I was rejected by all of my schools I applied to except WUSTL and Emory University. Still waiting on University of Toronto’s decision.</p>
<p>Leaning towards Emory, though.</p>
<p>ILR TO here, and I’m heading to the Honors Program at University of Delaware. Do you guys know if we have to take any maths courses? It says nothing of it in the packet… I’m inclined not to take it at all… Or should I just take the basic entry college level math UD has?</p>
<p>I got a GT to CALS. I’m deciding between Mount Holyoke, Northeastern, UMass Amherst honors and UVM honors.</p>
<p>I’ve always wanted to go to Cornell. I wanted to apply to the ILR school because I liked its mixture of economics, politics and business. My guidance counselor recommended I apply to CAS because I seem to have more econ EC’s. I got rejected. All my friends who applied to ILR got guaranteed transfers to ILR. I had better stats, essays, ec’s ect. Is there something that I could do to get this offer extended to me?</p>
<p>Why are there so many of these?.. Has anyone called to see if this is really guaranteed? Like if you do the bare minimum and get that 3.3 and nothing lower than a B are you for sure getting in? Just getting a bit worried I suppose.</p>
<p>Hey guys! I was a GT to ILR and I’m heading to Cornell this fall. If you have any questions let me know</p>
<p>My daughter received a TO for ILR. The crazy thing is a fair amount of your AP coarses will be applicable to the requirements. She is deciding between the Univ of Minn Honors program at that the Carlson school of Management or Univ of Pitts honors business program. This is a true blessing. It could have been worse or rejected flat out or waitlisted!</p>
<p>My daughter’s friend from her summer program got a TO from CAS.</p>
<p>Whoa! So double-checking, this was definitely a guaranteed transfer? I thought the letter seemed to imply that it was a more-likely-but-not-necessarily-guaranteed transfer.</p>
<p>I found out today that two kids in our area did this. One was at the university of Mich and the other at Vermont. They both loved their first schools.</p>
<p>OrigamiCrane: I think you said it best…We’re being (Strongly?) encouraged to reapply next year, but the rules (3.3, nothing below a B, class requirements) prove that its no guarantee.</p>
<p>As a sidenote, i think the requirements are flawed. This is an extreme case, but a student with a 3.5 at a community college gets in, but a 3.0 at a more challenging university is not?</p>
<p>Im confused between Indiana and UC Davis.Where are you going? and to what school have u<br>
gotten the guaranteed transfer?</p>
<p>“It could have been worse or rejected flat out or waitlisted!”</p>
<p>Actually, for ILR, being given a position on the waitlist comes with a guaranteed transfer if you don’t get in that year. </p>
<p>“wait, what is a guaranteed transfer? and how are you offered it? are you offered after you apply for undergrad for first year?”</p>
<p>When you apply as a senior in high school for acceptance as an undergrad (regular decision), you basically have 4 possible outcomes: accepted, waitlisted, denied, or guaranteed transfer. A GT just means that they like you and want you to attend, but they don’t have anymore spaces. So it’s kind of like a rejection for your first year but an acceptance for your sophomore year provided you meet the requirements in your freshman year at whichever college you decide to go for for that first year. So think of it like a postponed acceptance; you’re basically reserved a space in the university either way and are ‘guaranteed’ a diploma from the university provided you don’t goof off at any point with your grades and such.</p>
<p>“This is an extreme case, but a student with a 3.5 at a community college gets in, but a 3.0 at a more challenging university is not?”</p>
<p>Unless I’m wrong, I read that to get the GT, you need to go to a 4-year university your first year. If you go to CC, you need to apply as a regular transfer student. At least that’s what they told me when I emailed them.</p>
<p>^ You are mistaken. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>what happens if you don’t meet the requirements? they say they revise you, but does that mean they just throw away your application?</p>
<p>I have the same concerns. I have less than a 3.3 but from a college with notorious grade deflation. what can be done?</p>
<p>I think that means they put you in the regular pool. My daughter also has a transfer option and is very happy where she is. Her first semester she has a 3.9 in the honors business program. Her problem is deciding is it worth being stressed out at Cornell and getting less than a 3.5 or staying where she is. Good luck</p>
<p>I have some friends who got this TO. A lot of these students decide to stay where they already are after the first year because they are settled. Some take the offer but many don’t because they are comfortable. Some don’t want the hassle of starting all over again. It varies. Either choice is fine.</p>
