Transfer applications: apply online?

Transfer Students

<p>Hi. For those of you who are applying for transfer, are you sending in the forms through mail, or applying online through <a href="https://apply.embark.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://apply.embark.com&lt;/a>? I am trying to apply to Cornell using the online service, but when I answer the question,</p>

<p>"Have you applied for undergraduate admission to Cornell before?
If so, for what term and year?"</p>

<p>with Fall of 2004, the application inspector is giving me an error, stating:</p>

<p>"The Fall 2004 term has not passed yet. Please check your answers." </p>

<pre><code>What is up with that?!? The fall 2004 term HAS passed, and I did apply for admission two years ago. Obviously, the website has some major mistakes which make me apprehensive to apply online. I have emailed the embark people and am expecting a response either today or Monday. Any suggestions?

<p>Don't use that site to apply (for freshman or transfer admissions); I think Cornell stopped using their online application with embark a while ago. Use paper application instead.</p>

<p>Thanks your response, EEguy. Are you sure about this? The link given at the cornell website is alive, and there is no indication that they do not use this online application anymore. In fact, they even say "New Online Application for Transfer Students! Students can now submit Part 1 and Part 2 of the Transfer Application online." The embark page also says "Cornell University Transfer Part 1 2006...Welcome to the official online application for Cornell University Transfer Part 1 2006." This would be a grave mistake on Cornell's part if they no longer use embark. However, judging by their mistake about Fall 2004, I believe I will use the paper application instead, like you suggested.</p>

<p>It's true. I'm very surprised. They announed that you can fill the transfer app online. <a href="http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/transfer/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/transfer/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>"New Online Application for Transfer Students!
Students can now submit Part 1 and Part 2 of the Transfer Application online.
"</p>

<p>Cornell just changed their website; so I guess this is an OK. Sorry about the that, I just found out about it too</p>

6

<p>Too bad the PDF application forms seem to remain uneditable.</p>

7

<p>I wonder if those who already submitted part I can switch to the online application for part II</p>

<p>Are you doing the academic interest topic that has two sections as one essay or two?</p>

9

<p>yes you can EEguy its really easy. <a href="https://apply.embark.com/ugrad/cornell/transfer/Part2/84/%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://apply.embark.com/ugrad/cornell/transfer/Part2/84/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Yes I noticed that you can go into part II and start working on it; but what I meant is will they be able to rejoin the two parts to form your complete file.</p>

11

<p>thats something we'll have to ask admission. The problem is that they are mad busy right now so I'll give them a call with all my question in the beginning of February.</p>

<p>I askes before:
Are you doing the academic interest topic that has two sections as one essay or two?</p>

12

<p>I'm not entirely sure of it yet. Only at the stage to start crafting ideas for the essay. Either format should be fine as long as you can articulate your response to both questions.</p>

13

<p>So I take it you guys will apply online? This Fall 2004 problem is bugging the hell out of me..</p>

14

<p>If I were you I'll wait till the end of january and call admission to sort this thing out.</p>

<p>Thanks NJCCstudent. To answer your question myself, I did the academic essays in two, but in the second one I relate to the first one. I don't believe they will dissect this matter too deeply.</p>

<p>Thx ten20, its relieving to know I'm not the only one who did that. I wrote two essays and for a second there I thought I might need to rewrite it to one.</p>
