<p>CNCL, do you plan on reapplying for the spring or for the following fall?</p>
<p>fall 04: Intro Chem (A), Cal II (A), Macroeconomic (A), Intro to engineering(A-)
spring 05: Cal III(A), Orgo(A), Phys II(A), Explore engineering (B)(something like that)</p>
<p>the long essay i wrote about how my relatives look down on me(typical for a chinese family) and how i want to prove them wrong. i know its a pretty bad topic... but whatever.. the short answers.. the "why this major" question... i basically said science is useless without engineers... the "why Cornell" question... i said my college has a small engineering student body and no competition... i also wrote about how i dislike students there only want to pass their courses rather than learning...</p>
<p>yeah a 3.84 freshman gpaa is great not bad.</p>
<p>God these kids now adays</p>
<p>kkl230, I plan to apply to Cornell again for fall, 2006 along with a few other schools. College of engineering doesn't accept spring transfers. Thanks for your concern.</p>
<p>ti83plus, how many credits have you completed by the time of application? Do you have any major EC hooks? And what did you write on the activity/work experience short answer question? </p>
<p>I'm still trying to figure out what may have caused the rejection. My schedule is some what similar to yours:</p>
<p>Fall: Calc II, Physics I, Intro to Electrical Engineering, Writing (15 transferable credits) 3.71 semester GPA
Spring: Calc III, Physics II, General Chem I, C programming, Writing (18 transferable credits) 3.78 semester GPA
3.75 cummulative after 1 year.
I plan to take a tougher load next semester, 22 credits of engineering curriculum while hoping to boost GPA to 3.8 or above.</p>
<p>So just from these I guess it could be because my HS record & test scores aren't as strong as yours; my GPA isn't as good and I haven't taken a very tough course load. My essay may be quite unambiguous too, thus the rejection. Is there anyway I could reach you (AIM or MSN; pm me if you feel uncomfortable posting it)? I still have some questions that I really hope to find answers to... Thanks for your help and congrats again.</p>
<p>I wish you the very best CNCL. I hope you perserverance will show Cornell that you truly deserve to be there. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks kkl230, have fun at Cornell!</p>
<p>for those who got excepted into cornell engineering.... is there a way to see the financial aid package before sending in the deposit?</p>
<p>is anyone else on a transfer waitlist and still waiting for a decision?</p>
<p>i know i should probably call my regional officer in case theyre still deciding ... but i dont know what to say other than "FOR CHRISSAKE PLEASE LET ME IN"</p>
<p>I'm still waiting for Georgetown, I wasn't waitlisted, but they did want to see my spring semester grades, and then they lost it, so I had to send it again yesterday. I actually should have received a decision a week ago. kishany, I know exactly what you mean.</p>
