<p>Since you don't meet the requirement's I'd think you are no longer garunteed a transfer since you broke the rules, so you'd have to go through a regular transfer, in which a 3.1 dosent look that amazing.</p>
<p>well, you posted as i was writing the responce, so technically i wasnt answering your question. i was responding to bball's post. </p>
<p>you will have to call admissions at HumEc and ask them. I know in the past they have been rather strict about the 3.3 gpa policy since there's usually dozens of non GT's with gpa's way above 3.3 that are also fighting for admission. Either way, get a 4.0 this semester as it'll make you look better for admissions.</p>
<p>do you guys know of any guaranteed transfers who did not originally apply early decision?</p>
<p>Yeah stonecold23-- I'm an international who applied RD instead of ED and I currently have a GT to the hotel school. Same conditions, 3.0 GPa etc... </p>
<p>hope that helps with your original question.</p>
<p>I'm a GT for Fall 2008, am from Miami, and applied R.D.</p>
<p>Any student can get the GT option.</p>
<p>I am an INTERNATIONAL STUDENT from China, and I got GT! I go to high school in the US though.</p>
<p>^Then how are you an international student?</p>
<p>Does anyone know how “guaranteed” a guaranteed transfer is? I was offered this transfer option and now understand that I can receive no lower than a Bplus in a required course in order to transfer after, at earliest, one year and, at latest, two years. I am terrified to go to a school of poor standards and get rejected after a year, when I could go right now to University of Michigan, or other better schools. In many ways, I feel slapped in the face by CU and am not quite sure I am willing to risk everything and put everything on hold if I will get denied in a year for receiving one B, not Bminus or Cplus, but a solid B. Any thoughts? They would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!</p>
<p>I am from NJ and I got a gt. I also know of other people from NJ who did too.</p>
<p>I applied RD, I am from Arizona, and I received a GT.</p>
<p>I don’t think that GTs are at all reserved for just NY students; it’s just that the majority of students who apply to CU in the first place are from NY, so the proportional amount of students who receive GTs reflect that.</p>
<p>Onescaredkid-- I went to a state school with a pretty poor reputation my first year since I had a full ride there. Honestly, if Cornell believes you are intelligent enough to attend, you should have no problem fulfilling the requirements at another school.</p>
<p>I transferred, and it was hands-down the best decision I could have ever made. I am so happy here, and could not imagine myself anywhere else. On top of it, I got all my requirements out of the way for free!</p>
<p>I applied RD to ILR and I’m also from Arizona. Still haven’t received a decision, but I’m kinda hoping for a GT. I could go to ASU for free, accept a job offer as a Marketing Specialist for Arizona DECA and hopefully serve as an International DECA Officer if I win the election in May.</p>
<p>does anyone know how many guaranteed transfer students go to HumEc each year?
I am not a GT. The admissions rate is around 35%, but that might be significantly lower if several GT students are included.</p>
<p>I was given a guaranteed transfer. I applied RD, not ED. I am not from a rural area - i’m from the DC area. I applied to ILR. My letter says that I need to maintain a 3.3, not 3.0.</p>
<p>What are you guys doing during your freshman year? I’m afraid of going to another “real” college because I don’t want to get attached, settle in, make friends, and have to do that all over again. I’m thinking about going to community college for first semester, getting most of the specific requirements out of the way, hopefully landing a sweet Capitol Hill internship, and then studying abroad second semester. </p>
<p>The FAQ letter says that we’re allowed to study abroad during our freshman year, and I think it would be a good idea because my time at Cornell is already limited to three years; studying abroad junior year would limit my time even more, and I think I’d like to spend more than 2.5 years in college. However, I’d have to find a study abroad program where I’d be a full-time student. My mom’s afraid that it’d be harder to maintain the GPA requirement and not get any C’s at a foreign university. </p>
<p>Any thoughts? Does anyone know of any study abroad programs that are good for this situation?</p>
<p>Hello,
I am also from Arizona and my letter stated that I was being offered a “transfer option” at ILR. I am assuming this is the same thing as a guaranteed transfer provided that I meet all their requirements… is that true? I’m probably going to go to the Barrett Honors College at ASU for my first year and hopefully be able to transfer my sophomore year. Could you tell me how easily credits transfer, if freshman GPA transfers, and how well classes prepare you for the demands of the ILR? Any response would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>@ksmith40, Congrats on your GT!! The transfer process is great at Cornell because ILR always runs this GT program, you will be talking to Ian (who I think is the transfer dean at ILR). You email him your classes before every semester. When you get your letter, you will see some classes you have to take before getting to Cornell. You need at least a 3.3 GPA with no final grades below a B. Thus, the credit transfer is easy because they always check your classes before you sign up and they can tell you how they transfer. </p>
<p>ILR stands for I Love Reading, but you will be prepared, don’t worry too much about that. Your GPA doesn’t transfer though…</p>
<p>Does anyone know if ILR is going to its wait list this year? Are current ILR Wait List candidates going to get a “guaranteed transfer” GT option or the “transfer option” TO? I don’t understand the difference and am hoping that staying on the list this long perhaps keeps the door open to GT or OT. Can anyone advise?</p>
