Pending Ivy Transfers

<p>anyone who has questions about Cornell or admissions to Human Ecology can e-mail me at <a href="mailto:newyorkcity2012@hotmail.com">newyorkcity2012@hotmail.com</a></p>

<p>did most cornell transfer applicants get their decisions already?</p>

<p>I applied to Arts and Sciences. When I read the rejection letter, I was called a punk, several expletives, and even a racial slur or two. Then, I was chastized for wasting the admissions comittee's time. All in all, I'm glad I didn't get into Cornell.</p>

<p>I think there are going to be a lot of rejections from Cornell, especially considering the increase in applications they are receiving this year due to the prior year's acceptance rate; even those who do not want to go to Cornell are applying there as a safety, which, in my opinion, is pitiful.</p>

<p>Still haven't heard back from Cornell or Penn. Applied to Econ for Cornell and Penn Wharton. I check Cornell's page every day during the week now, since I could hear from them any time. I don't expect to here from Wharton until May because I dont' have all the pre-reqs for a business major. I don't really expect to get into Wharton, but better to try than not know. I was hesitant about Cornell at first because I go to IC and wanted to get out of Ithaca in general... but Ithaca has grown on me recently, and Cornell is such a wonderful place. I mean as an IC student obviously I've been there before. I hope I get in.</p>

<p>nspeds: actually, that should not be the case. Yes there is an application surge this year, a 17% application rose. But remeber, the transfers are not competing with the class of 2009 freshman applicant pool, the majority of us assuming our credits transfer, are going for a spot either in the class of 2008 or 2007. So actually the increase in application should NOT have a significant enough affect on us, but rather on those who will apply for transfer for the class of 2009 in the next two years.</p>

<p>CNCL,</p>

<p>My reference was implicitly in regard to their transfer admit rate. Ever since posters became aware that "Cornell is the easiest Ivy to transfer into," students have been applying to it as if it were a safety!</p>

<p>are there anyone here who got accepted to cals as a cornell transfer yet?</p>

<p>3.45 1st semester
3.71 2nd semester
1450 SAT
4s on my APs
Currently a premed, on competitive schedule (my schedule also fulfill MOST of the REQUIRED PREP. COURSE WORK)</p>

<p>3.75 HS GPA.
Really good recs.<br>
Essays are good too. (<-- regarding the essay, I was able to show that I was a good match and showed that I was truly interested in their program)</p>

<p>I feel my essay really helped me. My stats are not spectacular, but I guess thats about it.</p>

<p>Clig, where else did you apply? And did you apply to HE or CALS or CAS?</p>

<p>Anyone transferring to Engineering received a decision yet?</p>

<p>I think most of the people who already got their decisions are either from HE or CAS because they are rolling schools and HE has a pretty small applicant pool. Does anyone know if engineering is rolling?
Anyway I would expect a tiny number of people getting their acceptances from engineering in the next week.</p>

<p>kkl230, do you mean you have fulfilled most of your major courses or the premed courses? What classes have you taken? I'm just curious what kind of load would be considered pretty tough as I'm very unsure whether I fall into that category.</p>

<p>hi, I applied to Penn CAS, I was wondering how you get to their online status page. I didn't even know about it. I thought it was weird because Columbia had one. Thanks for the help</p>

<p>yeah.. i'm confused about that too.</p>

<p>are you still a freshmen? if so how can to be alomost done with your premed reqs?</p>

<p>did you get ap credit for bio and gen chem? if so you usually have to take higher level courses to fulfill most med school's req's.</p>

<p>have you taken gen physics, gen chem, gen bio, and orgo?</p>

<p>I meant the major courses.</p>

<p>Mostly completed them via AP credits. However the higher level major courses will be done at cornell.</p>

<p>As for Premed, i'm takin bio and chem as my main science freshman year.</p>

<p>And usually for those science AP credits, most premeds usually forfeit them unless they are sure that they want to take more advance courses.</p>

<p>okay i understand what you mean now.</p>

<p>but yeah that's nice though. i wished i could fulfill my major within 2 years :)</p>

<p>sounds like you got it all planned out.</p>

<p>i was also wondering... did you sent you the finaid along with your acceptance?</p>

<p>nope, they didn't include any financial aid package info with the admissions packet.</p>

<p>You are a guy right? Just wondering since HE is known to have a very small pool of male applicants so I would assume decisions for them come out faster?</p>

<p>Bump... (this is to lengthen my post)</p>

<p>That could be a reason CNCL. Each college is responsible for sending out their own acceptance packets. With HE applicant pool so small, they could have gotten it out much quicker.</p>
