<p>i’m starting to think that no access to housing portal = rejection for cals applicants…:(</p>
<p>hey kevlar can you check if anything in you application self-service system has changed? (the website where you checked if all your materials were received?)</p>
<p>i’m dying from the wait lol i just wish there was a faster way then snail mail… :(</p>
<p>@tallfrodo
Keep your hopes up! Lets not forget that access to housing portal DOES NOT equal acceptance (vice versa). </p>
<p>We’ll only be able to know once we receive our decision letters.</p>
<p>tallFrodo</p>
<p>No it does not change</p>
<p>How hard is it to transfer to Cornell as an IRL major and switch to AEM?</p>
<p>hey guys. i trans to cornell this semester from community college. i remember the 2010 thread well lol. feel free to PM me if you have any questions</p>
<p>@Investment</p>
<p>If it’s the juicy acceptance rate that’s attracting you to ILR (not IRL), then I suggest you not bother applying-- ILR is huge about fit and, anyway, I don’t know if you could easily transfer into AEM from ILR. Also, that rate includes Guaranteed Transfers (GT’s) whose acceptance is just that: guaranteed. They make up a large majority of external transfers into ILR, skewing the rate even further than the school’s tendency to self-select for candidates well suited to the program.</p>
<p>Honestly, if AEM is your thing then your application will come across as most passionate to the CALS adcom and thus your chances will be better there. Good luck!</p>
<p>argh any other CALS applicants awaiting decisions???
i’m checking my mailbox every single day, and my email every hour or so lollll</p>
<p>and leebruce: thanks 
i should know better than to think no access to housing = rejection… but i’m so frickin anxious</p>
<p>@tallfodo…same here…but seriously…if one could log into housing, it would be such a relief!..argh</p>
<p>From everything i’ve seen right now, i think the only people accepted to CALS have been NY residents.</p>
<p>@nash…that makes a lot of sense!!!..i do not know if cals as to send out letters on Monday/ we are to get our decisions on Monday…oh well, i will keep trying to log in to housing till then. God help us!</p>
<p>@nashim</p>
<p>Yea thats what it looks like…bt it should only take a couple more days for other people…
Do they save rejections for last or smthg? It seems like all colleges do this even when they say its rolling loll</p>
<p>seems like cornell has been deciding on newyork residents’ applications first…as they have to accept a certain number of them…before others…i think</p>
<p>@cutie
ah good point!</p>
<p>@dood
thanks for checking the self-service portal :)</p>
<p>So I am posting my stats:</p>
<p>I went to my state school with a full ride. My current college gpa is 3.9
I did research at Princeton last summer. Also, i was involved in two other research projects at my school, but no publications.
I am from a small country and 90% of people i meet never heard of it.I speak 3 languages
I did not join a lot of clubs, but did bunch of volunteer work.</p>
<p>Why Cornell?My school does not offer the major that I want to pursue:biometry.</p>
<p>PS I hugged a random girl at the mailbox when i read my acceptance letter.</p>
<p>I cannot log into housing, btw.</p>
