<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Creating this thread to discuss the Cornell application process for Spring Transfer. Please chime in with stats and additional info.</p>

<p>Application Deadline: 10/01 (soon!)
Req'd Materials: Common App, Cornell Supplement, and Reports (Mid-term Report, Registrar's Report, 1+ Academic Report), Final Report (High School), HS and College Transcripts</p>

<p>My stats: </p>

<p>Applying: From NYS Community College, took a semester at NYU
To: Arts and Science, Philosophy Major as a Junior
GPA: 3.8 combined, with 58 credits at end of semester (18 credits in progress)
HS GPA: 3.8
SAT:1970 (retaking in October)
EC's: Many academic extracurriculars.
Three great letters of recommendation from college professors.
I'm hoping the supplement essay (rather lengthy) demonstrating my interest for Cornell will help me. </p>

<p>I applied last semester to Cornell and got rejected. </p>

<p>Anyone else applying to one of Cornell's colleges? Please post any additional information, your stats, advice etc.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Spring 2014 transfer applicant right here. Think my app is ok, not stellar, but we’ll see :confused: Applying to CAS.</p>

3

<p>Glad to see someone on this thread. What major?</p>

4

<p>Is the Final Report required for transfer applicants? It does not say so for the guidelines for ILR but it may be different for CAS</p>

5

<p>It seems like the application process for the basic common app + forms is the same regardless of college applying to. ILR may need other info in addition to common app. So yes it’s req’d.</p>

6

<p>@OP Government, International Relations subfield. Supplement essay is long, just under 600 words, but I’m pleased with it. Now all we can do is wait! Good luck!</p>

<p>@Ankitt I’m pretty sure the Final Report is required. Can’t say for sure, but since it’s included in my additional forms section, I’m going to assume it’s required.</p>

7

<p>How many letters of recommendation are you guys submitting?</p>

8

<p>@JPAPAS I am submitting one instructor evaluation, and one from a former ILR graduate who I worked with at my internship this summer.</p>

9

<p>Also, is there a specific form for the mid term report? I can’t seem to find it.</p>

10

<p>There is for Cornell on the 3rd page of this document:</p>

11

<p>Thank You! I should have that in by Mid-October.</p>

12

<p>Yeah I’m hoping I can get them in by then as well.</p>

13

<p>From the ILR Transfer Director:</p>

<p>Cornell doesn’t require the Final Report form. You can just have a copy of your official HS transcript sent to us and that will be fine.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if the same applies to CAS but this is what the ILR director emailed to me</p>

14

<p>Glad you clarified that.</p>

15

<p>If I submit the application by the deadline date, do you guys know if it is fine to have one of my recommendation letter from a co-worker come in a few days later? I want to give him enough time to write it, so it might be in by October 3rd.</p>

16

<p>I definitely don’t think that would be a problem.</p>

17

<p>By the way JPAPAS if you don’t mind me asking what NYS community college do you go to? I go to a SUNY school myself.</p>

18

<p>Suffolk? Where do you go?</p>

19

<p>lol Suffolk that’s where I go. Not asking</p>

<p>I go to Binghamton. I’m from Long Island too haha. Nassau County</p>
