<p>My son is still waiting for something … although he is pretty set on his second choice for Fall 2010. (Hotel)</p>
<p>@tanban: Well yeah, me too. I was just wondering if they’re gonna send it by mail to internationals also, because that takes several weeks to get here :/</p>
<p>@Redyrts, mmm i think so. that’s what i’ve heard. but then again i’m not too sure. i’m sorry.</p>
<p>So…no e-mail, no call, and no snail mail yet…please tell me this is going to end by next week?</p>
<p>^ Same here :/</p>
<p>i hope so!</p>
<p>Finally got the letter here in India… it said i should try for transfer next year…
im really happy though, im going to my dream school!</p>
<p>^ Hey, you got the letter? By post? When? And which college in Cornell had you applied to?
[I’m from India too]</p>
<p>@Redyrts, I think it came in yesterday or the day before… i applied to the Hotel School.</p>
<p>Oh okay. Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>i just called admissions, they said that all letters have been sent out. they would not say if anyone was picked up off the waitlist.</p>
<p>I just emailed them and they said no one will be taken off. It’s been a good run, guys. Here was the email:</p>
<p>We regret to inform you that we are officially not going to be accepting students off of the waitlist, as we have completely filled our freshman class. We thank you for your incredible amount of patience through this process, as we recognize that being on the waitlist is a very difficult situation. A letter should be arriving shortly with this final notification.</p>
<p>Best of luck in your future endeavors.</p>
<p>^^ thank you for posting that. good luck to everyone in college/the future!</p>
<p>Tell ur kids: I almost went to Cornell. :p</p>
<p>^ Hahaha =P</p>
<p>@marie: Btw did you email the admissions office or a specific college?</p>
<p>I emailed Engineering admissions. I also got the letter via snail mail that said basically the same thing on July 2nd</p>
<p>Applied for COE and received this yesterday

If, after a year or two elsewhere, you still think Cornell may be the right school for you, we hope you will consider applying to transfer here.

<p>Does this mean a regular transfer application needs to be submitted or they keep the existing file? Anyone else received this?</p>
<p>Yeah, I got the same thing! I think it means we have to do the transfer process and resubmit an application. I got an email today that said this:</p>
<p>"Greetings from Cornell Engineering! By now you should have received notice that we have released our waitlist and will not be taking any students from it for the upcoming fall. I know you had expressed strong interest to us in being taken off the waitlist, and that you are probably very disappointed about not being able to join us at Cornell next fall, but it might still be possible for you to become a part of the Cornell family. I write today to encourage you to consider transferring to Cornell Engineering in one or two years, and to explain how to plan for it.</p>
<p>During the transfer application process, students must choose one of our 12 majors and apply directly to that major. Each major sets its own curricular requirements which are listed on the Cornell Engineering transfer website. The two most important criteria for transfer admission to Cornell Engineering are:</p>
<p>The content and rigor of the college-level courses you have taken. This is absolutely critical so you can transition seamlessly into our program at the sophomore or junior level.
How well you have performed in these courses. If your academic record in college continues to look like it did in high school, you would indeed be competitive in our transfer pool-one of the reasons why we are writing this letter of encouragement.
If you are interested in possibly considering transfer in the next few years, feel free to contact me via email at <a href=“mailto:mlg48@cornell.edu”>mlg48@cornell.edu</a> with any questions at any time. If you would like to send me your name, address, and name of school you plan to attend next year, we will place you on our mailing list to receive updated information for prospective transfer students. If you are not interested in transferring to Cornell, then you do not need to do anything further at this time.</p>
<p>Enjoy the rest of your summer, and best of luck as you start your college journey!</p>
<p>^ I received the same email today.</p>
<p>It says in the beginning “By now you should have received notice that we have released our waitlist and will not be taking any students from it for the upcoming fall.” I suppose they’re referring to the letter sent by snail mail? I still haven’t received that. I hope it didn’t get lost in the mail.</p>
