<p>I know this has been brought up a million times. I would appreciate if any Cornellians who have transfered within Cornell can speak up and talk about their experienes, grades, difficulty, transition of the transfer. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>.......anyone</p>
<p>plzzz, anyone...</p>
<p>I am interested in this too</p>
<p>Having just gone through it, ITD is rather a bureaucratic pain in the ass. I wanted to transfer to Arts last fall, and was in line to Direct Transfer, meaning I'd immediately switch colleges. The paperwork for that involved a few forms, a short essay, and attending an info session, fairly painless. But then I wound up with an incomplete in one class, and since they won't make decisions unless all your grades are in, I ended up in ITD for spring semester, which is kind of this nebulous no man's land in which you aren't affiliated with any of the 7 colleges. Gripes include not being able to take more than 18 credits that semester, having the ITD woman as my "advisor," having to turn in a midterm grade report, etc. Anyway, next fall I am finally officially in A&S, although I've been taking all arts classes for a year now.</p>
<p>From what I've seen, you can direct transfer between colleges w/o too much difficulty. Just try not to get stuck in the internal transfer division itself.</p>
<p>I wish I'd known before coming here what a large impact the college you're in has on you - I wouldn't have been saying sr year that I'd just switch majors until I found one that fit. A lot of people end up switching to diff majors w/n their schools because it's easier.</p>
<p>thnks for the info, mind asking what ur previous and current major are?? and more importantly, what college u were in before a&s?</p>
<p>i transferred from CAS to Humec, my friend transferred from Eng to Hot. she was worried that she'd have to go thru ITD because her grades weren't so hot and her work experiences weren't enough, but both of us got accepted to our respective colleges directly last winter break, although it was much easier for me. I also know someone who transferred from CAS to Eng (why she would, i don't know) but i don't know if she did it directly or through ITD, but as you can see, anything is possible, and as long as your interview/advising time or whatever shows you have good reasons to transfer then you are a shoo in as long as you maintained a 2.8 gpa the semester you are applying.</p>
<p>Who do you contact to initiate the transfer process? Also do you have to be in Cornell for a semester or a year before you transfer? I am currently not at Cornell and will transfer in as a third year, but I am thinking about transfering.</p>
<p>you just call the college you want to transfer to and ask to talk to a counselor about transferring, then you go to your appointment and learn about how to/what it takes/when you can transfer. as a junior external tranfer already, it might be a lot trickier since you would have to transfer asap so you can graduate on time. and it might be a lot harder because it seems very sketchy to have just transferred in, and to transfer again, that you just picked the college you were accepted to because it was easier, etc. however, if you want to transfer to another similar program in a different college (like bio in CAS to bio in CALS because of financial reasons) it might be easier. i've only heard of junior year transfer being done internally by a student who's been at cornell the previous 5 semester. all other "transfers" done in junior yr were just across programs in the same college (from one major to another).</p>
<p>first thing to do is just to talk to a counselor in the college you want to transfer to and see what's up.</p>
