Oh wow! Best of luck to you! I visited Belmont too when I visited Vandy and it seemed super nice! Hopefully we’ll both hear good news soon

could you share why you want to leave Cornell? So many want to go.
Yeah of course! It’s no doubt an incredible school with amazing academic and professional resources, but for me it just personally is not a good fit. I’m a humanities student, and there’s definitely an emphasis here on STEM and business, so sometimes it’s hard to find a community in my major. It’s also very isolated and rural - but some people like that! Ithaca itself is not a super diverse or bustling place, it’s definitely a small college city and winter lasts for probably 75% of the year. I’m also very much into music, particularly songwriting, so the location is very limiting for the creative opportunities I’m looking for. But Cornell can be really great for a lot of people, and it’s still bittersweet to leave for me! Hope this helped! Are you trying to transfer to Cornell?

I also was emailing with admissions and they told me people will start getting off the waitlist from early May (so basically now) through July
I wonder if they’re waiting on people who were admitted the first wave to accept their offer or not then they’re going to look at the waitlist
D you think they would look at waitlists from the first wave before the next acceptances/waitlists in the second wave?
I have no idea. I was waitlisted the first wave and I really hope they don’t wait forever. I have a 3.94 gpa and am taking classes at Yale over the summer and really want to know where I’m going in the fall lol. I saw in a CC thread that people in the past have heard from Vanderbilt in May about getting off the transfer waitlist so I think it definitely happens
