<p>CONGRATS HARVARDHOP

<p>Thank you everyone! </p>

<p>I’m going to stay with all of you on this thread and hope that everyone gets in. I want to thank you guys who have kept me in your prayers, i appreciate it. I guess, I am going to have to make a decision soon, I am in between two great schools. I’ll let you guys know what I decide. Thanks again.</p>

<p>-Harvardhop!=)</p>

<p>do you guys have fb group yet?</p>

<p>Just got my rejection letter from CAS, which surprised me because I’ve earned straight A+'s in college for three semesters. What more could Cornell want?</p>

<p>Has anyone else received any decisions?</p>

<p>I got GT for Fall 2011. I have to take US Gov and Intro to Bio and complete them with 3.3. I am very hapyyyyyy! I applied to HumEc/PAM. Also we got the first snow in Seattle!</p>

<p>I’m also from WA and I’m looking to possibly transfer for Fall 2011. I want to apply to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences as a Nutritional Sciences major. I currently am in my second year at a local community college, have a ~3.55 GPA that I intend to continue raising. I’ve been a part of college committees, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, have a part-time job in addition to being a full time college student, and am involved in community service through working with a homeless shelter. </p>

<p>Do I seem to have any chance whatsoever? I know I’ll have to write fantastic essays, but I’m unsure as to how ‘easy’ it would be to transfer in. I’m sure financial aid eligibility matters quite a bit as well…</p>

<p>@transfers2010: I have just received my rejection letter as well and I have a 4.0 GPA also. And to my surprise, the admission process is on a rolling basis, being rejected that fast means they eliminated us right on the first round. I guess Cornell just hates 4.0 people. Lol. Kidding. I think we were too ‘generic’ or something :frowning: I personally did everything I could already, I give up on the Ivies.</p>

<p>@harvardhop: u still there, bro? Oh man, I finally got rejected. I am glad that, atleast, it comes early and I can still plan for Paris. :))</p>

<p>@jrpuff: I am rejected but I will encourage you to apply. CALS seems a lot more reasonable than A&S. And Cornell’s admission is need-blind which means that financial aid does not matter at all during the selection process. Also they will meet your full need if you are admitted. No money, no problem :D</p>

<p>just got my letter from Cornell, rejected, SHA</p>

<p>I just talked to the CAS admissions office. They accepted 6-7 out of about 130 external transfer applicants.</p>

<p>who do I call to find out about my app for SHA?</p>

<p>@mixter, thanks so much for the reply. If you don’t mind me asking, what were your stats/what did you apply for?</p>

<p>I had around 40 credits with 4.0GPA and am enrolled at a community college. Applied for Science & Technology Studies at CAS. I posted my stats previously before on this thread.</p>

<p>Hi, I just found this website. </p>

<p>Does anyone know when the spring transfer ILR decisions will be coming out?</p>

<p>I was accepted. Cornell Spring 11 ILR. I got a phone call from the ILR undergrad admissions secretary because there was a conflict to which address they were to send my acceptance letter to.</p>

<p>^ So you got into ILR with a 3.4, and Mixter and I were both rejected from CAS with 4.0s? </p>

<p>I had no idea Cornell’s schools were so different in terms of transfer admissions difficulty.</p>

<p>Congrats, Ithacakid! PM me, I’d love to get to know another ILR transfer! See you in January!</p>

<p>Easy, transfers2010. ILR admission is based so much on fit; I got in with a 3.33 (midterm report 3.80), but I’m also a National Merit Scholar. I also applied from a top-30 four year school. To wit: college GPA alone does not an application make to any college at Cornell; that said, CAS is brutal even for those with 4.0’s, and it often seems they’re just looking for compelling stories to differentiate among very well qualified candidates (I think we both agree that you’re in that category).</p>

<p>^ I had thought that ILR’s admissions statistics were misleading because of all of the guaranteed transfers and NY community college students. </p>

<p>The bright side of my rejection from CAS is that I know which Cornell school I won’t apply to for Fall 2011 admissions :P</p>
