<p>dr. mom, have you heard yet?</p>
<p>Like so many others, my Sās still waiting for official word, grantortueāthanks for asking! ;)</p>
<p>jeeze! I hope they come out soon! this is getting a little ridiculous</p>
<p>does anyone know how many applications get a GT for a certain cornell school, for instance CALS?</p>
<p>Hey guys, I have another questionā¦ do GT students have to send in their final HS transcripts to Cornell as well?</p>
<p>^ yes you do</p>
<p>Thanks Eeveeryone!!
Especially You Dr Mom</p>
<p>I Got In
Im Soo Happy
Thanks Everybody For The Help And Support
I Thought I Wasnt Gonna Make It :d</p>
<p>I GOT IN!!! CAS biological sciences! I got my letter yesterday and I couldnāt stop squealing!! lol</p>
<p>I also got in to Duke since I applied for just-in-case purposes, but Iām sticking with wonderful Cornell! GO BIG RED!!! :-D</p>
<p>i havenāt heard yetā¦i hate this! and i hate keep calling the officeā¦</p>
<p>i know what you mean i called ILR again today, and the secretary transferred me to ian who told me that he could not announce the decision over the phone since it was not official yet, and that he would be calling me tomorrow or the day afterā¦its absolute torture!! so now itās just a matter of waitingā¦has anyone every heard of a gt student who didnāt meet the requirements getting rejected in a phone call? my dad has me excited saying they would just send a letter of rejection, but i doubt itās that easyā¦</p>
<p>congrats everyone! hang in there retroglamour!</p>
<p>does anybody know how ILR will see the final grades for those who have been accepted as GT? iām having a major grade issue in one of my classes (outside the ilr requirement) and honestly, iām scared i might get rescinded.</p>
<p>Yesā¦you need to send in your final transcript so they can award you the appropriate credit.</p>
<p>If Im missing one class of a requirement does that put me on jeopardy? and on the site it says that my application has been sent for reviewā¦Ive never called to make sure :(</p>
<p>If youāre a GTā¦yes, I would imagine thatās a big problem.</p>
<p>If youāre a regular transferā¦it might a problem as well b/c there are plenty of applicants who have all the required courses or are completing them this semester.</p>
<p>At this point it might be too late to change anythingā¦but it never hurts to check in.</p>
<p>are GTs offered only to NY residents?</p>
<p>No, although a good number of them are.</p>
<p>Hello, Allā</p>
<p>I want to thank each and every person whoās ever posted to this board over the last year (and diehldun for starting the thread a year ago!). Weāve just received word that my son was ACCEPTED to Cornell through the Guaranteed Transfer program. He will enter Cornell now as a sophomore in the fall. Needless to say, after all this time, we are ecstatic for him!</p>
<p>I think it actually hasnāt sunk in to my S yet. He knows he still has to get through final exams and meet the last requirements in terms of final grades for the spring semester for the GT process to be done, done, forever done. Still, itās very nice to go to the online Application Self-Service System and see the link, āCheck Your Decision,ā and then see the big, bold word, āCongratulations!ā when you click on it. Weāre waiting for the hard-copy letter by postal mail to arrive any day now. Each phase of the acceptance notification will make it feel more and more real to my S, I think. Iām hoping the packet arrives in time for me to take it and share it with him at his current college when we visit him on Motherās Day.</p>
<p>Iāll be checking back to see how everyone else makes out. Iām keeping my fingers crossed for all the 2011 GTs and now, too, for the new 2012 GTs who are just beginning this process. It has been such a help to us to have these boards to come to over the last year. I remember how clueless we were about the GT when it was first offered to our S last March. I plan to hang around to offer any help to other parents or students who may come here looking for support.</p>
<p>Thank you so much, again, Everybody, and best of all possible luck to those of you currently awaiting your decisions!</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS!!! Iām so excited that you got in! Thank you for the shout-out to me, too. Iām glad if I helped in any way. Youāre very welcome.</p>
<p>lavendergracesāCongrats to you, as well!</p>
<p>Congrats Dr_Mom, good to hear that your sonās wait is over.</p>
<p>I thought that when I was accepted, mine was tooā¦ But now I need to wait for my financial aid award letter. My parents say if I donāt get any aid, I canāt go. And with this yearās EFC at $65,000, my future at Cornell is bleak at best.</p>
<p>Iām going to be so upset to open my letter and see that big goose egg confirm my fate. And Iāll have to stay at hellish SUNY Buffalo for 2 more years.</p>
