<p>I just wanted to start of by saying thanks to everyone who took the time to read this post, it means a lot to me and I appreciate the help.</p>
<p>So I go to an Ivy League school (disclosed for the sake of anoniminity), and I am currently a freshman, recruited student athlete. I would love to transfer to Cornell next year and continue to participate in my sport. I have read the NCAA guidelines so I understand a majority of the eligibility aspects. I would have gotten into Cornell based on my credentials last year, and I have maintained decent grades first semester and my athletic ability has remained constant.</p>
<p>I just wanted to know if anyone could give advice on this process - given personal experience or some sort of insight. If anyone knows about the Cornell transfer process in general, I'd love your input.</p>
<p>Is your sport NCAA Division 1? They have pretty strict rules. Is there a major at Cornell that you will take that is NOT offered at your current school? There is a usually a requirement that you sit out one year.</p>
<p>I would check the Ivy League rules for intr- conference transfers. Have you contacted the Cornell coach? If he or she is not willing to go along, it is not worth the transfer.</p>
<p>It’s D1 at both schools, and it’s not a sport with rules that potentially hinder the transfer process (baseball, basketball, football, and hockey).</p>
<p>I’m not allowed to talk to the coach at Cornell until I formally meet with my current coach and director of athletics and let him know my interest in transferring and get his approval essentially, which is something that I don’t want to do just yet; until I am assured - more or less - that the risk of ruining my relationship with my current coach is worth it.</p>
<p>That’s why it’s frustrating. There is no way to talk to reach out to the coach without violating NCAA regulations.</p>
<p>I can’t find any inter- conference transfer guidelines online either.</p>
