<p>Accepted! Congrats everyone!</p>
<p>Admitted Human ecology School!</p>
<p>@yalesoon–I believe that is a Guaranteed Transfer. I would guess that you applied to Ag, Hum Ec or ILR, as the GTs are more common in those schools. Are you a NYS resident?</p>
<p>Oops—post was stuck in the ether while CC went down.</p>
<p>I don’t think Cornell offers GTs only to keep their admit #s down. To be honest, Cornell does very little marketing, at least compared to the volume I saw from other schools, so if decreasing their admit rate were a goal, they could achieve it with some effort.</p>
<p>They house all of the freshmen on North Campus and do not have space for more than the class they currently admit. </p>
<p>Congrats on all acceptances and GTs!</p>
<p>In at Columbia and rejected at Cornell… Huh? 
though I know admissions are incredibly unpredictable. I am excited about Columbia but getting rejected from the place you imagined yourself at for months is tough no matter what great schools you have to fall back on. </p>
<p>Awwww darn it all, WAITLISTED! The most UNdesirable decision, because now who knows WHAT to plan for.
Can someone please tell me this: Are the waitlisted applicants those who also just missed the Guaranteed Transfer status, or is it the other way around??
@ Doberlady: I think I recall your D was also from MA, applying to CALS in Animal Science. So she’s waitlisted too, eh? What’s her reaction?</p>
<p>@yalesoon: it’s no longer called guaranteed transfer option, it’s called conditional transfer option. It’s my understanding if you meet the class and grade requirements you are in. My D has met them so I hope it is true and she gets in. </p>
<p>@mummyofcollegian We are NY (westchester) she was happy to not get a rejection but to be honest this being in limbo stinks!! Yes to Animal Science- I looked at the Cornell wait list info within the link they sent and it does not seem hopefull at all. 5 year average and the most they have admitted was 167 out of the 1800 placed on the wait list, some years they offered ZERO
spots</p>
<p>We deposited at Purdue</p>
<p>how can you check financial aid? </p>
<p>if you are applying for financial aid, review your financial aid application status online
(<a href=“Check Application Status | Financial Aid”>http://www.finaid.cornell.edu/check-application-status</a>) using your applicantID and password. Only
outstanding items are listed. If you have any outstanding items, please submit them immediately. </p>
<p>@CT1417 Unless only freshmen dorm, I don’t see why it would matter. The GTs will definitely be coming the following year and it’s not like they don’t accept a freshman class every other year, so they will theoretically still have the same volume of students incoming each year, just some as sophomores. Is there that much of a droppoff between the freshman class and sophomore class that this works out? And anyway, it seems like it would be less of a headache to just put the extra admits into a different dorm than worry about having freshman only dorms and then delay acceptances. </p>
<p>@CT1417 I applied CALS and and in Florida. I’m sure they have their reasons, I’m mostly just complaining because I want to be there so badly haha. </p>
<p>@bulldogs3 thank you, that’s good to hear, I hope it’s true too. Good luck to your daughter!</p>
<p>Did ANYONE else get this?</p>
<p>In your official letter of admission, you will note that your acceptance is conditional based on certain requirements that you will need to fulfill before you matriculate. If you have any questions once you have reviewed your letter, please contact us at 607.255.5241.</p>
<p>If so, what does it mean? </p>
<p>Does anyone know the answer to that question of whether the Waitlisted woebegones just missed the Guaranteed Transfer status (or the “conditional transfer option,” if it’s called that now) – or is it the other way around? The reason I ask: what I’d really like to do is call the CALS admissions office and say, “plse take off waitlist and put on the GT list” – but I don’t know if that’s asking something unwarranted, given the selection criteria. Please someone help me out!</p>
<p>@Doberlady: You know, being among 1800 “also-rans” selected out of 37,000 applicants, just behind the “accepted” tier, is nothing to sneeze at. Yes, I agree the math dictates that few if any of those waitlisted are going to end up getting in, but I’m still trying to consider the Waitlisted badge something of an honor, if only a less shiny one. But Purdue is a great choice! The choice here would be between UMass Amherst and Penn State. Unfortunately they’re both very very slow seconds.</p>
<p>Penn State was one of our schools too (we loved it there) but Purdue offered Presidential Scholarship and Dean’s Scholar’s Program Penn State offered nada I totally feel a wait list is still a badge 
She was also postponed at UWisc Maddison and will hear tomorrow but we are pretty set at Purdue- would be perfect if not for the 13 hour ride </p>
<p>Congratulations to all who were accepted. My older daughter was waitlisted at Cornell and Duke. She got off the WL at both of those schools. You could search my posts on how to get off WL. Extra work is required, but it really depends on Cornell’s yield? They took a lot of kids off their WL my D’s year, but not so many in the recent years. The trick is to make sure you are on the top of pile when they start taking students off the WL.</p>
