<p>I got accepted, they sent me an email.</p>
<p>Congratulations, xtarion! It’s really cool to see someone like yourself who came from lackluster high school performance, work hard in college, and then get accepted into an ivy league school. Is Cornell your first choice? What school did you apply to again?</p>
<p>@xtarion: I just got an e-mail from them too! Accepted! Whooo!</p>
<p>@xtarion and chinsepia</p>
<p>Congratulations on being accepted.</p>
<p>So just to be clear, no one got accepted into CAS yet…</p>
<p>@LoneStar20</p>
<p>No, I don’t believe so. I just got off the phone with CAS transfer admissions and they told me once again that decisions will begin rolling out on 11/14 and continue to go out until the end of the month. See told me that CAS would NOT be sending emails, only paper letters.</p>
<p>@ bellacose, I cornell was the only school I applied to. I had like 59 credits so I don’t believe having too many credits will get someone rejected.
@ chinsepia how many credits did cornell accepted from you.</p>
<p>@xtarion</p>
<p>aigiqinf said that the admissions director that let her know that he/she was rejected specifically mentioned him/her having way over 60 hours as one of the major reasons he/she was rejected. So yes, I do think its very possible for somebody to be rejected due to too many hours.</p>
<p>@xtarion: I had over 60 credits. They can only transfer 60 max. Cornell was also the only school I applied to as well, lol.</p>
<p>To clarify, I earned over 60 hours of credit while in high school–so I will have over 100 total semester hours at the end of this semester, even though my intended graduation date is Spring 2015. It gets far more complicated in part because Emory accepted credit that Cornell probably won’t have (Emory accepted 31 hours).</p>
<p>@aigiqinf</p>
<p>I would assume that your rejection has a lot to do with Cornell’s two year minimum rule (you must attend Cornell for at least two years to graduate) and the fact that they meet 100 percent of need. For a student like you, they would be dishing out fin aid for you to take classes just so that you can achieve the two year minimum.</p>
<p>@ chinsepia, u should check ur evaluation form they only accepted 45. 15 for every semester. Is this ur 3rd semester?
@ bellacose cornell accepts 60 max, if someone has 200 credits only 60 will transfer. it is 15 for every semester ur in college and 30 max if it is from high school. It is total ridiculous for someone to get denined because of the amount of credits they have.
@ aigiqinf am sorry u got denined by cornell, dont feel bad about urself, u can still apply next semester or u can graduate from ur current school since u have so much credit.</p>
<p>To everyone else remember cornell is need blind, My parents make less than 60k and i still got accepted.</p>
<p>Congrats, chinsepia and xtarion. I’m sure you will love it.</p>
<p>Has anyone from ILR heard back yet?</p>
<p>hey i applied ILR and have not heard back. im expecting/hoping to hear good or bad news within the next week</p>
<p>@xtarion</p>
<p>While you are certainly entitled to your own opinions, aigiqinf was told by the director of transfer admissions at the college she applied to that their decision on her “came down to the number of credits” she had. So, I think it is quite possible to be denied because you have over a certain number of credits. Not to mention, the transfer faq page says that students past sophomore year are discouraged from applying.</p>
<p>Also, while Cornell may only transfer a maximum of 60 credits, there is a university wide rule tat one must complete four semesters in order to graduate.</p>
<p>Alright, I wish everyone good luck.</p>
<p>I was just glancing over this thread and I just wanted to point out that if you have a bunch of credits from high school (which CALS will most likely NOT accept anyways), I don’t think they will reject you based on that. At least I wasn’t rejected…</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone! CALS should be accepting about 30-40 for this upcoming semester.</p>
<p>Congrats! @madirocks How many do CAS accept?</p>
<p>then maybe different colleges have different policies? I heard that the committees, in general, have a slightly different standard for transfer students each semester. anw, anyone heard from ILR yet?</p>
<p>@LoneStar20</p>
<p>From what I’ve seen, CAS takes about 17 percent for spring transfer. However, this includes quite a few GT’s. Without including GT’s the spring transfer acceptance rate for CAS is supposedly 7-10 percent.</p>
