Official FALL 2012 Cornell Transfers

<p>@something12345, Yeah, I can continue and start filling out the forms. I hope this is good news! It would just be kind of strange if all of the sudden I can log in and others cannot. If everyone could log in today, it would be a different story.</p>

<p>I still can’t log in either. I’ll probably stop checking since decisions come out soon, lol. Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Seems like the people who can log in are in. Congrats guys! I’m sure you’ll do great at Cornell!</p>

<p>So are any of the guys logging in engineering transfer applicants?</p>

<p>Hi, congratulations to those who can now log in!!! :)</p>

<p>I (applying for CALS) still can’t, but I’ll keep checking. Hope everyone hears good news soon :)</p>

<p>@Chris1992 Don’t get discouraged yet! I am also CAS, had my app sent to review around mid to late march and sent my midterms last week and cannot log onto housing. Granted, I submitted everything pretty much late as possible without missing deadlines haha, but it seems as though CAS is last with decisions and most of the applicants can’t log into housing now. As @something12345 said, they won’t even start sending anything out until the 23rd. </p>

<p>Let’s all just enjoy the beautiful weekend and do well on finals regardless.</p>

<p>@alyssa thanks :)</p>

<p>My fingers are crossed for everyone on this thread! A quick update for those of you who are able to log in to housing. I just received an e-mail from Cornell housing stating that I have a pending roommate request - even though I still did not get an admissions letter! Very strange, I applied to AEM. I have a strange feeling those of us who were able to log in will eventually find out we are admitted! Cornell2012Fall’s posted surprised me which seemed to validate those who could log in, were admitted. Would anyone else happen to know if this is a fact? Admissions told me to wait for the letter to come.</p>

<p>CAS:
Anyone except @something can log in?</p>

<p>Don’t start buggin out if you can’t log in. If there is one thing FOR FACT that last year’s thread shows us, it is that not logging in does not mean rejection.</p>

<p>I am an CAS math applicant and cannot log in at this point…</p>

<p>my stats:</p>

<p>Current University: Vanderbilt University

High school model student</p>

<p>Reasons: my major is math and I am very interested in applied math and statistics. But Vandy does not offer a statistics major nor an applied math major. Moreover, for my secondary major Econ, Vandy does not have a good connection of econ and math. And since I want to start my own enterprise after graduation, Nashville, a small city in the south, cannot provide me with enough international environment and internship/job opportunities. </p>

<p>Financial Aid Needed?:
No</p>

<p>To those of you who can log in to housing and have not gotten an official acceptance, have you guys filled/started to fill out the housing application? I am very tempted to (just to see what’s on there), but also I’m kind of hesitant to mess with anything on there at this point.</p>

<p>@Maconn…me too! But i’m not filling it out until I get my decision letter.Good luck to all of us!</p>

<p>@shadglore, thanks for the response. I was just making sure I wasn’t the only one waiting for a decision before I started filling it out. Good luck!</p>

<p>Psiovana, the president of Cornell (my father) called me today and told me that being unable to log in is a SURE sign that you are not admitted…</p>

<p>Just kidding. An admissions representative informed me that being able to log into housing is rather arbitrary and that it holds no weight in terms of an admissions decision; i.e. some of those who’ve been able to access housing have been rejected, waitlisted, etc., just as some who were never able to login before a decision have been admitted. This whole housing deal is pretty trivial and not worth discussing.</p>

<p>@shermani. According to last years thread everyone who could log into housing eventually got in, and some of the other people who couldn’t log in right away got in as well. As far as rejections, I haven’t seen one person who was able to log into housing and then get rejected, or even waitlisted. I’d hope most of the people who can’t log in now will eventually, but from your post it sounds like the admissions representatives are just being general with their information and are probably getting many phone calls regarding housing. At least I’d like to think! :)</p>

<p>hahaha…this is funny! so who do we believe? shermani or Cornellfall2012?? Ah well, I believe my decision letter…lol :)</p>

<p>Well of the 95% of Cornell applicants NOT on CC who applied, some might have been able to log into housing and still got rejected. So, we just don’t know. I think generalization is pointless.</p>

<p>Unless things are different this year, BUT based on last year’s thread,if u can log into housing,u are IN!!..I will def check the Spring 2012 thread tonight too!</p>

<p>Sorry, perhaps I should have grounded my claim in a more concrete example. Another fellow Tulanian, who applied for transfer last year, was able to log in to the housing portal in mid-March was eventually rejected flat out. Believe what you would like, but I think a counterexample is warranted.</p>
