<p>Any ideas what the general word is on transferring in to Cornell? If you were rejected there once, will you be rejected again most likely? Do they even take that many transfers?</p>
<p>they take a good number of transfers, especially in CALS I hear</p>
<p>depends on what college...both me and my best friend have successfully transferred into Cornell (me in ILR, her in CAS)...CAS, engineering, and architecture are the hardest i hear. ILR wasn't too difficult, but the essays and your college GPA weighs heavily</p>
<p>How does the whole teacher reccommendation thing work for transfers? Am I going to have to go back to my high school and ask teachers again for reccommendations? Or do I have to find college professors who know me well enough to write recs?</p>
<p>college professors</p>
<p>according to collegeboard:
Total number of transfer students who applied: 2,307
Total number of transfer students who were admitted: 766 </p>
<p>so looks like 33%, does anybody know how it breaks down by each department?</p>
<p>CAS is somewhere around 33%, which is the university-wide average, or so I hear. Someone posted the stats recently, but I don't remember where.</p>
<p>From what I know, they like community college students and any type of diversity, but obviously 4.0 kids from Harvard aren't going to be shunned.</p>
<p>community college only in new york and only for those certain depts? (ALS, Edu, public policy)</p>
<p>No, CC students from all over, and most are liberal arts majors (that's what most CC students are studying).</p>
<p>Anyone know the transfer applications vs. acceptances for the Hotel School?</p>
<p>Cornell takes in ALOT of transfers but that's because they have a large undergrad population (13,000 or so). But the transfer admissions are much tougher than regular admissions. I've heard from the admission counselor I spoke with the average transfer applicant GPA is 3.7, with 1400 SATs. But then again this is not a good indication since some student come from community colleges. When I got in, the admission counselor said that "my reason for transferring to Cornell" was the strongest part of my application.</p>
<p>kipling, do you care to share your reason for transferring so we get a better idea of what exactly they look at in essays?</p>
<p>cas transfer rate is not 33% Don't know how you came to that conclusion.</p>
<p>seriously just click on the admission stats thread and you'll get all the statistics you need. In case you're lazy, here <a href="http://dpb.cornell.edu/irp/pdf/FactBook/Admissions/Undergraduate/Transfers/transbycoll.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://dpb.cornell.edu/irp/pdf/FactBook/Admissions/Undergraduate/Transfers/transbycoll.pdf</a></p>
<p>CALS 56%
Architecture 17%
CAS 17%
engineering 33%
hotel 28%
human ecology 49%
ilr 64%</p>
<p>I got accepted into engineering. But seems like none of my stats was impressive. </p>
<p>P.S. they take a lot of transfers because too many first year student took the one-way ticket to the bottom of Fall Creek Gorge? jk</p>
