<p>@Coriander23 Thanks! Hopefully in three weeks or so. You’re a GT, right? How’s that? </p>
<p>I’m currently at the College at Brockport, and Cornell was the only school I applied to. If I don’t get in I’ll stay here and finish up for undergrad, not in a hurry to leave or anything, but Cornell’s always been my dream school so I thought I’d take a shot since I felt I had the grades, recommendations, and essays to do so.</p>
<p>Me 2. Cornell was the only school I applied to. </p>
<p>@Steffy16 Did u?</p>
<p>I applied to basically all of the U.S. News top 25 Liberal Arts Colleges and Research Universities that took spring transfers. Fingers crossed for Cornell though.</p>
<p>Jesus…How many applications is that? </p>
<p>Did anybody apply to either SHA or AAP? </p>
<p>Did anybody apply as an Information Science?</p>
<p>@Dukesilver17: Just noticed your post from September about Arts and Sciences having a ~10% acceptance rate. Do you know that for a fact, or is that just an estimate? I was hoping it’d be higher, since Tweb has their acceptance rate at 20.6%. (I’d post the link, but apparently this site blocks it out for some reason.) I realize that’s fall information from a couple of years ago, but I wouldn’t think it would have changed that much. And I realize it varies by school within Cornell, but numbers would have to be pretty high at other schools to bring the average down that much.</p>
<p>Well apparently CAS has the lowest acceptance rate but they also have the most applicants so this should be taken into account. </p>
<p>The 20.6% acceptance rate is the rate across all of the colleges at Cornell. CAS is definitely “hard” to transfer into, compared to say CALS or ILR. In 2011, a whopping 99 students were granted transfer admission into CAS (7.5%), compared to 121 into ILR (44%) and CALS (47%). Apparently, the stupid high transfer acceptance rates have to do with conditional transfers offers given to HS applicants (i.e., go spend a year somewhere else, get a GPA above x.xx, get guaranteed transfer admission sophomore year), but I would guess that, even when you exclude the conditional transfers, the transfer acceptance rates for the land-grant colleges would still be higher than the endowed ones.</p>
<p>I am posting for any individuals looking for housing for Spring 2015. It’s for a single unit in the Collegetown Area. The contract would be a six month agreement starting December 2014 ending May 2015. Please contact me via CC inbox for additional information. </p>
<p>It was just an estimate from previous threads and what I’ve seen from Cornell’s posted acceptance rates from past years. It’s difficult to gauge the acceptance rates for CALS and ILR because of GTs as @shockstrika83 said above, but I’d still wager that CAS is substantially harder to get into than the other colleges, aside from AEM. </p>
<p>statistically speaking AAP is difficult to get in as well …</p>
<p>Ah, well thanks for the information and clarification. That’s really unfortunate, 7.5% really makes my odds of getting in look even worse than I had thought. Regardless, good luck to everyone. Looking forward to seeing the posts when (hopefully) some of us receive positive responses!</p>
<p>So are y’all mostly sophomores or juniors? And where are you guys from and where do you go to school? This thread seems really dead compared to previous years…</p>
<p>@DukeSilver17 I am a sophomore currently studying at Boston College, majoring in International Studies and applied psychology. But I am applying for AAP.</p>
<p>Cool! Why do you want to leave BC? </p>
<p>I’m so relieved. I called today regarding my missing item and they said they do actually have it! it was the last thing missing before my application can be sent to committee :D</p>
<p>Anyone have any idea when they will begin releasing decisions? </p>
