<p>So....a big congratulations to students who have been accepted for Spring '09 transfer to Cornell!</p>

<p>I realize there is a short turnaround time between acceptance and joining your fellow Cornellians on the Hill and you might have tons of questions. I'm here to help!</p>

<p>I transferred to CALS in Fall 2005 but I will do my best to answer your questions or direct you to someone who would know. Feel free to PM me as well...but I might be a little slow in responding.</p>

<p>Again...congrats and welcome to the Big Red family!!!</p>

<p>Thanks for making this thread!</p>

<p>Will it be difficult for us to register for courses since students have already registered? Will many classes be closed out?</p>

<p>If we want to bring a car, will we be able to get a permit? How far away from central campus will it probably be?</p>

<p>These are just off the top of my head, I'm sure there will be more.</p>

<p>You won't have much trouble registering for classes. Many current students will be changing their schedules during the add/drop period and so classes will open and such. If you find yourself shut out of a class....just speak with the prof...more often than not they'll let you in the class.</p>

<p>You should be able to get a parking permit but you'll most likely have to park on North Campus...kind of a pain. There are some spots near West....but those are permit only during the weel.</p>

<p>After not getting accepted for the fall 2008 semester, the hotel school said they would give me a "preferred transfer acceptance" for the spring semester. As a result, I sent in another set of transfer forms (much more simple than the normal application) along with records from the college I attended for my fall semester. </p>

<p>Cornell was supposed to have posted my official admissions decision by today. However, I wasn't sent an email telling me how to view my admissions decisions. If I wasn't given a pin #/password to view my admissions decisions and they haven't posted anything on my application self-service system, how am I supposed to know if I got in? Do I just have to wait for the paper notification??</p>

<p>^I would call them</p>

<p>I have a question, even though I haven't applied yet. </p>

<p>Do/Did transfers get an email with their acceptance? If so, do they also get mail? Is it the same for fall admission?</p>

<p>Transfers will be notified of their decision online and a letter will follow shortly thereafter.</p>

<p>Dewdrop87, I can't think of any questions right now to ask you.. except that I am wondering if there was anything that you didn't think of when transferring to Cornell that you wish you had asked/known beforehand? Things to bring, things not to bring, any random tips..</p>
