Official FALL 2012 Cornell Transfers

<p>Arts and Sciences- intent to major in Linguistics. I’ve heard it’s one of the more competitive colleges and I’m freaking out!</p>

<p>… I can’t submit my Mid-Term report till next week… Sigh…My history and philosophy exams haven’t been graded yet:(</p>

<p>@esthersuri Can’t believe you didn’t get 800 in your SAT math since you are from China. I think you have a good chance for NYU and Emory.</p>

<p>@something12345 there is no other reason you can be rejected if your why-cornell essay is not a mess.</p>

<p>@Alyssa ah me too! It’s supposed to be pretty tough but it looks like you’ll have a solid chance, good luck!!</p>

<p>@jeremystory that’s really annoying about the midterm report but it shouldnt hurt you. I think you can fax it in when you have it, that’d be faster than mailing it. And thanks I hope so!! I put a lot of time into my essays, I hope they’re good enough!</p>

<p>Thanks, @something12345, likewise!! </p>

<p>You know, initially you think doing all the application stuff is the most stressful part… but then you play the waiting game. For weeks. Good God.</p>

<p>Hey I submitted my supplement and payment yesterday and it still hasn’t shown up on the Cornell ID?</p>

<p>Both of those take time to process (they say 5-7 business days for payment, took mine like 2), don’t worry about it!</p>

<p>Thanks mate, you’re a legend.</p>

<p>Not submitting SATs.</p>

<p>i don’t know enough about the hotel school to give you educated feedback, but from what you’ve written, you seem like you have great chances! very diverse for sure.
doesn’t the hotel school require interviews? how’d that go?</p>

<p>Please,does anybody here have an idea the difference that midterm reports can make?I’m a freshman and had 4.0 last semester but on my midterm report this semester, I have a B and 5As(21 credits)… I have also applied to Cornell CHE. Is it going to affect my application in anyway?</p>

<p>@shadglore I don’t think one B out of 21 credits and a 4.0 GPA last semester will make that big of a difference, or one at all. You still have a high GPA. However, how close is your B to an A? If you could possibly bring it up to an A, you could send a new midterm report sometime within the next month. That would also show initiative and high interest. But overall, I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>

<p>@Maconn…thanks. And my B is very close to an A. I will do just as you have suggested.Merci!</p>

<p>I won’t have a single grade in any of my classes for another 2-3 weeks. My midterm report is going to be pretty late :/</p>

<p>All my life I’ve been waiting for,
I’ve been praying for,
For the people to say,
That we don’t want to fight no more,
There’ll be no more wars,
And the children with Play,
One day.</p>

<p>Mine will be awfully late as well… for some reason my university started the semester very late, so midterms are equally as delayed. ugh. they probably recognize that we all have varying schedules though.</p>

<p>@Jeremystory.My mediocre math score is probably because I am not a math person and I came to US for high school when I was 15:D </p>

<p>Thanks for replying and best luck!</p>

<p>@AnotherShot11</p>

<p>I have the same problem.
Do midterm reports count as a very large part of your application? :/</p>
