<p>Rejected! 2250 / 800 M2 / 770 Chem, top 11% :(</p>
<p>@yankee - that sounds like you get to go to your second choice college (if you applied for two colleges, you got accepted to your secondary choice).</p>
<p>rejected (but expected after ED referral)</p>
<p>@yankee4life - how did you get a transfer option??</p>
<p>@yankee4life - Yes, that’s what mine said too. I applied to ILR with no second-choice.</p>
<p>well it’s definitely syracuse for me next year then ;)</p>
<p>Accepted!!!</p>
<p>Waitlisted! Having trouble with the waitlist reply link, says link doesn’t exist?</p>
<p>i only applied to one school: HumEc…so what exactly does this “transfer” thingy mean? would i be guaranteed admission as a junior?</p>
<p>I’m waitlisted as well and the link doesn’t work >.></p>
<p>accepted! woot</p>
<p>@yankee4life - I guess we’ll find out soon enough! I’m hoping I can transfer as a sophomore…I would have had to have asked for a GT anyway since I’m running for a position as a National Officer for a particular student organization.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. UF here I come.</p>
<p>I think the guaranteed transfer option means you can transfer after one year at another school Not sure if you could take a year off and then enter Cornell.</p>
<p>I just got through to the waitlist reply, what does I plan to enroll at: mean? Another college?</p>
<p>Waitlisted again. Ahh well. Georgia Tech, I guess I am headed your way!</p>
<p>rejected… 
but i got into UPenn though</p>
<p>^^Yeah, on the Waitlist reply from do you put where you plan to enroll if you don’t get in off of the waitlist?</p>
<p>Another waitlist for my son along with MIT and Harvey Mudd. Sometimes I think a reject is easier to take. Just waiting along with many others on U Michigan, but it is time to evaluate the other options…I am so done with this process.</p>
<p>@yankee4life, a Guaranteed Transfer is (I believe) a unique Cornell program. You go off to another college (or community college), maintain a specified GPA, and then, if you want, you are automatically accepted at Cornell as a transfer. I believe the specifics vary–could be after 1 semester or after 1 year at the other college. You will get more details.</p>
