<p>Son wait listed so it is U of Michigan for Chemical Engineering. Very proud of him!</p>
<p>Rejection but guaranteed transfer wool</p>
<p>Rejected from Cornell. But accepted to Berkeley…so it’s all good :D</p>
<p>Accepted CAS, waitlisted Columbia, rejected Yale. So DD will have to decide between Cornell with excellent financial aid and only 45 min away, and Kentucky with a full ride but 10 hr away. Feeling so, so blessed.</p>
<p>Accepted into Cornell!!!</p>
<p>@mdcmom how do you know the amount financial aid? it wasnt on the acceptance letter</p>
<p>While y’all have been stressing out all month, I’ve known since the 6th that I was accepted. ILR ROCKS</p>
<p>Restatement of earlier question – Help, pulleeze, anyone who might know: Does a “Waitlisted” to CALS put us in roughly the same league as the “Rejected But with Guaranteed/Conditional Transfer Option” folks?? Or in a league below? Need to know! Hoping it may be possible to negotiate a change of category with the CALS admissions office.<br>
The guaranteed-transfer option would be a perfectly acceptable decision here, especially because there’s an acceptable freshman year alternative available. Whereas the Waitlist stinks!</p>
<p>Waitlist for the WIN!! Guessing it was because I didn’t show enough interest. Oh well, I won’t be taking the spot because I’m set on Lehigh on a full tuition scholarship! Kind of bummed it blemished my record, but in a way I’m glad because now my decision is really easy:)</p>
<p>I am not aware you are able to change the status. GT is not offered at all schools - not for CAS or CoE. WL does stink.</p>
<p>Rejected CALS - AEM … SAT: 2100 IB: 41/42 </p>
<p>@oldfort GT is offered at CALS. But I’m still wondering about the selectivity category: does a waitlisted applicant fall below a GT in the hierarchy of CALS incoming freshman applicants? Or above? Or about the same? Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Accepted AAP (URS) and CAS (general physics)! Can’t believe it, one of the best moments of my life. Financial aid office willing, I’ll be seeing you lot in the fall.</p>
<p>waitlisted…</p>
<p>Rejected Chemical Engineering/ 43 IB/ 33 ACT/ International</p>
<p>I’m really conflicted about the GT. On one hand, it is my only chance at an Ivy since it’s the only one I applied to, but on the other hand, something about it just feels bad, especially when I was also accepted to a pretty good public honors college. I’ve just sort of assumed I’d be rejected or in at Cornell that the thought of this half and half situation never really crossed my mind as a possibility, so I really don’t know how to evaluate 3 years at Cornell vs 4 years at this honors college, which may not be an ivy, but is pretty nice. </p>
<p>Darthelmet,</p>
<p>Go to college, which you like, complete the requirements as per Cornell, then transfer back. As long as you meet the requirements, then you are guaranteed the seat. My daughter is doing the same. </p>
<p>Ugh. Waitlisted. 99 GPA/2220 SAT/34 ACT
Does anyone know if the waitlist is better or worse than a guaranteed transfer?</p>
<p>Accepted! Got a likely letter a few weeks ago, but the actual acceptance letter feels sooo good. 
Rejected at Brown and Columbia, but I was expecting it - I’m perfectly happy with Cornell Congrats to all those accepted!</p>
<p>Hawk96: I’ve been asking close to the same thing, because in our case a GT would work well, whereas the Waitlist is for the birds. However, it just dawned on me that perhaps GT offers are extended only to NYS residents. Is this true?
Goodluck13 – Are you and your daughter NYS residents?
Darthelmet – what about you? in-state?
It would make sense, then, that the land grant colleges – ILR, CHE, and CALS – extend the GT offer, while CAS and CoE do not. Perhaps it’s done to satisfy some NYS charter requirement to graduate a certain # of state residents in each class – yes?<br>
Does anyone know whether this is the case?<br>
Is there a non-NYS resident out there who has received a GT offer??</p>
