Guaranteed Transfers Class of 2019

Hi guys! I am a GT for CALS. I thought I’d make a thread for us GT’s, since the “Decision Thread” is for people who were waitlisted, accepted, or denied. I’m curious to hear where other GT’s will be going for freshman year! I thought this could also be helpful for future applicants if we post our stats. I, personally, was shocked to not be rejected. :slight_smile: 27 ACT, 3.49 WEIGHTED GPA, only 2 AP’s. =)) I will likely go to UConn for freshman year.
So, that’s me, let’s hear about YOU!

P.S. I cannot wait to tell my guidance counselor. In the fall, she told me that I should not bother applying because I would be “devastated” when I received my rejection letter. =; ^:)^

Did you (or anyone) receive a follow up email yet?

I assume I’m getting a gt spot, because of the decision letter I got. @jamesjunkers‌ I haven’t gotten a follow up email yet, but I assume they’re coming out soon. Personally I think I’ll be going to va tech or w&m and then deciding if I should transfer.

Hey fellow GT! I’m going in for ILR.

Haha I’m glad you proved your GC wrong. Mine was kinda the opposite way; she thought I would get in ED but I didn’t. Kinda sad that ILR doesn’t offer spring semester transfers, though. Oh wells, life moves on :slight_smile: I haven’t gotten a follow email yet as well.

Btw does anyone want to set up a Facebook group?

Haha thanks @airspirit! And I have not received anything either. It said “the next few days”, so we’ll probably be notified tomorrow or Friday. :slight_smile: That’s a great idea ^ want me to make the group?

@artisticnative lol if you want, seems like there’s not a lot of GTs on here yet. Or maybe they just accidentally skipped over the transfer option paragraph in their decision page hah :slight_smile:

Probably the latter lol

I got a transfer option as well. I applied for bioengineering in CALS. I’m waiting for them to contact me with more details.

Hey everybody, I got the email this morning at around 8am

Human ecology here…probably won’t take the option but its a great thing to have. If I do will just go to a party school for a year haha

I got a GT for Human Ecology!!! Sooo pumped because Cornell was my number one choice. I think it’s awesome and I’ll definitely take it. Honestly I thought I got rejected and I’m still anxious that I actually was. But my letter mentioned the transfer option and my CC told me that it’s definitely a GT! I’m going to Colgate for a year and taking the transfer. I really wish they had worded the letter differently, and that we had gotten the info right away. I’m really excited for them to contact me though!

I am a gt for CALS for biology and society. I’m thinking about going to suny stony brook. It would save me some money.

Have you guys connected to them yet through chatter (facebook)? What info do they provide you with?

I did, I had to log into my facebook and provide them my appID

I don’t really want to login through Facebook, lol, when you go on chatter, does it show any of your info

Besides your first and last name, it only shows the email address hooked up to your facebook account

Is it okay if that email is not the same as my application email? And can everyone else see that info?

@bizswann3

Yeah it’s fine, mine wasn’t the same, but you can also change it later if you want. People only see your email and name, but you can post your phone number and address, but I found that kind of weird.
