<p>Nope...certain gpa, certain amount of classes per semester, and you have to take CERTAIN CLASSES</p>
<p>joise, so sorry to hear about their decision. :( All the best at dickinson though!!</p>
<p>Figgy, that's funny-- they didn't mention specific classes that I had to take. In fact, what I'm doing right now has very little to do with what I'm applying for in Cornell. Psychology--> Hotel. But I wrote to the director and he said it was alright? Argh. I'm still freaking out.</p>
<p>shouldnt it be okay? i mean, as a freshman, ure just taking introductory courses.</p>
<p>Well I'm a GT for ILR so I'm sure it's different than other colleges. I don't have the letter handy right now but there are a few courses I HAVE to take if I want to transfer. I know one is econ...</p>
<p>for an ILR GT: macro and micro economics, 2 writing/english courses, a course in science, a course in something on non-western civilizations, a course on western civilizations...and i believe thats all...im just now finishing up all that and hope to hear back soon shortly.</p>
<p>Good Luck! Did you qualify with gpa and everything? Post when you hear back and hopefully it'll be good news!</p>
<p>i have a 3.23 instead of the 3.3 required..soo im nervous.</p>
<p>i know hotel school is like a writing seminar, accounting, etc. i'm not sure where i'm going freshman year, so i cant send in my letter of intent, which i assume explains in further detail what classes i need to take.</p>
<p>So as someone whos been through what I'm going to go through...how was it roots? What school did you go to and why don't you have a 3.3? Thanks for the insight, it will help a lot!</p>
<p>I'm not too good at math and I decided to take a math course and I did poorly on it... I will be taking some not for credit math courses over the summer (at a CC) to improve my math skills and be ready to take on some calculus courses in my first year at Cornell (if i am admitted). First and foremost make sure you complete your economics courses both macro and micro...Besides the other requirements, ILR loves it when GTs take math-- just dont mess it up like I did, be sure you are prepared for the level of math you will be taking. I would also throw in a political science course. ALWAYS email ILR before registering for each quarter/semester to double check if what you are thinking of taking, works with what they want you to take--basically to see if the credit will transfer. ALSO call in at the end of each quarter/semester to make sure they have received your transcripts.</p>
<p>Is it possible to be a GT if you apply to transfer after freshman year, and then you would come junior year or is it only offered when you apply as a senior?</p>
<p>ILR doesnt have a math requirement (besides a very basic math-based exam, about Sequential III level)...why did you take a math course? I never plan on taking math besides some labor statistics courses...if that even counts as math</p>
<p>the college I am at currently requires math, so I took it...An ILR counselor also told me they like GTs and applicants that have taken math courses...Looking back on my decision I should have waited to take math sophomore year instead of Frosh...Since you are a GT i wouldn't really bother with math unless you enjoy it/are good at it...Statistics would be good.</p>
<p>i just tried to accomplish exactly what they asked</p>
<p>Fall semester i took 4 classes
macro, 1 western phil course (for WIT credit), 1 eastern phil course (for CP credit), and Astronomy (for S&T)</p>
<p>Spring Semester i'm taking 5:
micro, 3 cinema classes (for kicks), english</p>
<p>plus my AP's got me a bunch of stuff...its different for everyone</p>
<p>i didnt realize you a GT now.. for '06</p>
<p>CAS just told me to take "general liberal arts courses"</p>
<p>Just about stats...they said that you have to take a stats course at Cornell so...</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your story and help, its very much appreciated!</p>
<p>ilr students need to take a stats class ... but they want you to take their stats class so they'll probably be rather stingy about transfer credits.</p>
<p>for transferring into bio and society in cals, i had to take a full year writing seminar, a full year of intro bio, an ethics class, a calc class, and a stats class. i had to take 16 the first semester and 19 this semester</p>
<p>Has anyone else from CALS heard yet?? Have they been rejecting anymore GTs??</p>
