<p>I’m from India, but I’m an NRI.</p>

<p>Ooh, that kinda sucks. The visa thing really depends on your luck, though, so if you do get accepted to Cornell and apply for a US visa, it’ll reach you within a few days if you’re lucky. If you’re not, well… </p>

<p>But you’re probably right; applying for a Canadian visa right now is probably the best way forward for you. Good luck!</p>

<p>Has anyone heard anything else recently? Either acceptance or denial. I was accepted off the waitlist at Columbia and Harvard just denied me after originally being waitlisted. I am going forward with Columbia and I think I will stay put, but I just want to get some closure on the whole process. I’m waitlisted at CALS, specifically AEM.</p>

23

<p>Judging by the response in various threads, only the engineering waitlist has been tapped into. Perhaps we might be contacted later on, but I wouldn’t count on it.</p>

<p>I have a question. As an Indian student, I wrote a couple of entrance exams in India (you get accepted into college based on your rank in the exam. The rank depends on marks obtained). Suppose I get a fairly good rank in the exams, should I write to Cornell about it as an update? Or would it be like saying, “I’ve gotten accepted in such and such other universities”, which you should definitely not write?</p>

24

<p>It should be just about average if I am correct!</p>

25

<p>^What?</p>

<p>By the way, do you guys know if we’ll get rejection letters if we don’t get through? I know Brown sent them out in mid-May… is Cornell going to send them as well?</p>

26

<p>just rejected by AEM after being on the waitlist</p>

27

<p>@FoEverhard, how did they notify you? Email? Phone Call?</p>

28

<p>I doubt they would have called, but I’m interested to know how they let you know, too.</p>

29

<p>I got a letter in the mail telling me the CALS class was full.</p>

30

<p>Oh, well, that’s a bummer. Can’t say I wasn’t expecting it, but I was hoping at least for an email that would tell me of my rejection…</p>

31

<p>If anybody is still wondering, I called CALS admissions today and was told that they weren’t entering the waitlist this year. They said even international students would be notified of this by mail. I know IntellectualUser said the same, but I had to confirm for myself.</p>

<p>UIUC, here I come!</p>

32

<p>I got offered a transfer option for CALS today. Did anyone get off?</p>

33

<p>I also received a transfer option for CALS today by email. I’ve never heard of Cornell doing this; does anyone have any more info?</p>

34

<p>I got the transfer option too! I’m wondering if everyone gets this? And, I wonder what the likelihood of acceptance is, assuming one meets the requirements.</p>

35

<p>I have created thread for transfer option students. See below and update your stats in that link. We should here in June again from Cornell about the procedure.</p>

36

<p>They just told me that I had the option of transferring if I was still interested. It wasn’t a guaranteed transfer or anything.</p>

<p>What did all of your emails say? I’m beginning to suspect it was simply a standard email for everybody.</p>

37

<p>Anyone from Arts and Sciences get anything yet?</p>

38

<p>I just got off the waitlist for the class of 2017 fall term for CAS. so dont give up guys</p>

39

<p>any news on human ecology?</p>

<p>Engineering applicant accepted off the waitlist June 6th (enrolled tonight). Maybe this will help someone next year!</p>
