<p>Hi, I was just wandering if anybody else that was a member of Phi Theta Kappa received a letter from Cornell in Oct. 2008 telling you about their transfer process. Prior to receiving the letter from Cornell, I never thought about applying their because I never saw myself as an Ivy League student or even as an elite school student. Do you think that since the contacted me that this gives me a better shot at being accepted as a fall 2009 transfer student or do they just send thousands of these letters out a year?</p>
<p>I don’t know what their process is, but i’d say don’t sell yourself short on trying for a good school. I transfered from community college this year and was a PTK member/chapter officer. Take advantage of the things your college offers and try reaching out. Before joining PTK I was choosing between state schools, which was just a year and a half ago.</p>
<p>Just for future reference for other CC users, I received about 3 or 4 letters from Cornell asking me to consider them as I think about my transfer process. Well, I applied and was accepted! So, if you ever get these same letters from them, then you probably have a good shot at getting in.</p>
<p>i was initially turned onto the school by my counselor at my cc, but as i joined PTK, i eventually got a bunch of letters and stuff from Cornell telling me to apply.</p>
<p>i did, and i got accepted yesterday :]<br>
haha</p>
<p>grommets right, dont sell yourself shortt</p>
<p>Well, thats great BrandNew70x7! I’m glad you got in too! I look forward to seeing you in the Fall!</p>
<p>i actually wontt be there till the spring :] but keep an eye open for me then! hah</p>
<p>sorry to bring up an old thread, but what the douce is Phi Theta Kappa? I’m fairly certain my community college does not have this.</p>
<p>Phi Theta Kappa is the honor society specific to two-year colleges.</p>
<p>Phi Beta Kappa was the first fraternity ever formed, and has morphed into an international premier honor society for four-year colleges and universities.</p>
<p>Well that totally stinks, I just looked it up and my community college does not have a chapter. That sounds like a nice way to get some attention while trying to transfer.</p>
