<p>The letter in bold type says i'm required to participate in a Pre-Freshman Summer Program. Does anyone know what this means? Has anyone had any experience with it? I was planning on working but its six weeks...</p>
<p>Anyways...any help would be great,
Will</p>
<p>The six week program is for students whom Cornell wants but feels like they would benefit from a six-week program to help them adjust to Cornell life. You basically get used to the school, participate in some activities, and take some classes. I'm not sure if the classes are factored into your transcript or not. No one has fully explained the program to me but I got a call from the Director of Admissions this week telling me about it. I haven't recieved a final decision on my application as of yet, however. Feel free to PM me your stats. I think we may have similar stats...everything is excellent except the SAT scores.</p>
<p>Could you provide your scores/stats? I haven't heard from ALS yet and just wanted to compare. Thanx.</p>
<p>It's basically an early intervention program to help ensure that selected candidates are prepared for Cornell.<br>

<p>Did anyone from ED get this?</p>
<p>Wow, I never heard of this...interesting...</p>
<p>I figured they'd just not accept people who they didn't think could do the work...hmmm...</p>
<p>This is kind of alarming...</p>
<p>Are they assuming i'm going to fail even before i show up?
I guess i would rather this, than get rejected...</p>
<p>Anyways...thanks for the replies every one</p>
<p>what r ur stats so we can know why u got the pre-frosh program. this programs gives uthe opportunity to earn credits</p>
<p>Did you apply eop? if you don't mind, what are your stats</p>
<p>Cosmonaut: On the contrary, they wouldn't have accepted you if they didn't believe that you were a good candidate for Cornell. I can't tell much about you from your posts, but perhaps you had a strong application but week verbal scores, and they felt you needed a little help in that area... or math, etc. It's a terrific opportunity and you will probably be extremely prepared by Orientation. Many universities have these types of programs.</p>
