Hello everyone, I know it may be a bit early to start a thread for spring transfer, but it is always good to start early isnt it 
Okay I will share my stats later when more people are here. But I already got a question: is ILR a Other academic interest option if using the Cornell apply system? Got any ILR transfer here?
updated: Wait I figured it out
ILR hopeful here!
Also applying!
I am currently a sophomore at the University of Oregon looking to transfer to Cornell’s ILR school this coming spring. I Let me know if you think I have a decent shot.

I have a lot of extra curricular activities, mostly centered around government/politics and also finance/economics, which is why I think that the ILR school would be a good fit for me, because it encompasses all of those things. I am paying my own way through college with no help, and have worked/interned anywhere from 20-120 hrs/wk for the last two years.
I have taken Micro and macro econ, psychology, foreign languages, business & accounting classes, I am finishing up my writing, and I have a class that should fill the Western Intelligence requirement, so I think I have covered all of the bases on pre-rec classes for applying to this major.
(Also, the ILR school does not require SAT/ACT, so I did not include my score).
@RedBear2016 I think you have a great shot, you definitively have the grades and EC’s, just make sure your essays properly outline your story and is quality material :).
Personally, I’m looking into SHA and I’m a bit undecided if I want to transfer during Spring or Fall. Does anyone know if you can apply to Fall after applying to Spring without repercussions? And if it’s possible to defer a possible admission during Spring to apply during the Fall again?
(If you would like to chance me, you can check out my stats here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cornell-university/1801464-do-i-have-a-fair-chance-sha-spring-transfer.html#latest).

I’m pretty sure I have all the prereqs covered as well Super interested in ILR, would really love to get accepted (the major is why I’m applying). I think you have a great chance!! My middle class family won’t get financial aid, so I’m pushing off applying until March for Fall 2016. Best of luck to you, perhaps we can chat a bit about our experiences!

@Hotelieeeeee I attended hotel school in Vegas for a year. Absolutely hated it, and now I’m at a CC taking classes and re-applying to schools.
Hello everyone! I’ve applied to the ILR School for the Spring 2016 entry. All my materials have been received and processed, and my application has been sent for review!
@ronniec95 Did you attend University of Las Vegas at Nevada? I heard the hotel program there is also highly ranked. What is the aspects makes it unpleasant?
Anybody heard anything yet?
