<p>Now I am having doubts over whether IRL is really for me.</p>
<p>Is there a possibility I can transfer to anothr college within Cornell?</p>
<p>no. (10 charachters)</p>
<p>gomestar, a bit pretentious?</p>
<p>@Cornell_2010, maybe this will help:

<p>not pretentious, just straight-on, dirrect, "no crap."</p>
<p>that link is if you're already a student at Cornell. </p>
<p>If ilr isn't your thing, you'd have to apply as a transfer to a different college. The GT thing will not hold though.</p>
<p>no transfers?</p>
<p>so what if i do not like it?</p>
<p>what if i stay in ILR for a year and then transfer?</p>
<p>first off, congrats for GT for ILR! (my school, such pride, lol) you can transfer once you're at cornell to another school, but i do not think you can transfer before you're here (you must spend a semester at least in the school you applied to, then you can ITD your second semester).
besides, you have time before your arrival, so use the year to take relevant classes and see if it works for you. you can always opt to NOT GT to cornell and stay where you are.</p>
<p>gomestar, it's all good--but a little more relevant content in your post would be nice (the 10 character minimum is probably there for a reason). Also, it's a little more welcoming to people that might be new, might be dealing with college acceptance issues, worries, etc... know what i mean?</p>
<p>Also, from what I have read, it is completely feasible to assume that this will not be as "no crap" as you suggest. If I were Cornell<em>2010, I would contact ITD immediately, state my case, and see what they have to say. I bet they will leave Cornell</em>2010 with a better feeling than doom.</p>
<p>If Cornell_2010 is a freshman, I am pretty sure he can go in as ILR, take very general distribution-requirement classes (that apply to both ILR and wherever he is looking to transfer), and make his case to actually transfer. Probably, next year, after he kicks ass with his 4.0, he will be able to transfer.</p>
<p>If Cornell_2010 is a freshman, he will be in the perfect position to try out ILR (maybe it WILL work for him?), and get a good feeling for the other schools, and then make his ultimate decision.</p>
<p>my 2¢.
no crap.</p>
<p>*change he/him to she/her if applicable :D</p>
<p>thanks for all the input guys,</p>
<p>I'm thinking about staying in ILR for 1 year.. then transferring.</p>
<p>This is the plan:
1st year = some college
2nd year = go to ILR as GT
3rd year = transfer!</p>
<p>This seems reasonable, right?</p>
<p>kind of a waste of 2 years of college, though. Half of college would be gone before you can study what you want.</p>
<p>My advise is to pick "Plan B", a college you think you can be happy at. Go there thinking this isn't a temporary place & do well, both academically & socially. Forget about Cornell for a while. You may surprise yourself and want to stay at "Plan B". If not, transfering to Cornell is an option. You'll have a much better year that way.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
