<p>[Cornell</a> Guaranteed Transfer 2013 | Facebook](<a href=“Facebook”>Facebook)</p>
<p>IN_DC- your welcome, and nice work with the group! i still can’t believe we’re passing the torch already</p>
<p>^^Just wait until you’ve graduated and you’re providing advice to people younger than your youngest sibling. You’ll really feel old ;)</p>
<p>GT 2013 to ILR! Really really excited. Got defered ED so I am really happy. Going to Macaulay for a year then off to Cornell!</p>
<p>got this in my letter:</p>
<p>“Within the next few days you will receive notification from the undergraduate college to which you’ve applied that you are being offered a transfer option.”</p>
<p>is that GT?</p>
<p>Yes. 10char</p>
<p>I think I’m being offered GT to ILR, then. I’m excited, but financial aid is still a huge obstacle. I think just the thought of being accepted in a year will motivate me to make the most out of wherever I end up in the fall (I should do that anyway, though).</p>
<p>Kleibo–AFAIK, Engineering does not do GTs.</p>
<p>NSKK- Thats what my letter said last year, and it was a GT. Congrats!</p>
<p>Whoops sorry repeat post</p>
<p>rl41090 - Thanks man,</p>
<p>it’s pretty exciting!</p>
<p>Congratulations guys, especially those of you who were deferred!</p>
<p>You are some awesome people :)</p>
<p>Usually how many GT are offer to students for each colleges? I seem can’t find this information. It would be nice to know so we can get a real idea of what Cornell’s real transfer acceptance rate it. Btw CONGRATS TO ALL WHO GOT GT!!</p>
<p>What exactly was in the letter for GT?
I was rejected ILR, but after the first paragraph it was really weird. It said basically that we wish to inform you that it is possible to transfer to ILR and then went on to list the requirements needed for transfer including GPA (over a 3.3 or B+). It then went on to say we can’t tell you when you are elgible but it is usually after the second or third semester (which was underlined). I’m not sure if this is the standard rejection letter for Cornell or if it is something else…
I haven’t seen a rejection letter like this one. Columbia and Georgetown just said no and good luck. So can anyone help me?</p>
<p>How do you find out what the required courses are for your intended major? I have a GT for Apparel Design…</p>
<p>They’ll send you a letter with all of the GT details.</p>

I can tell you HumEc offers ~150 GTs per year.
I can’t tell you how many are offered by ILR or CALS, nor how many execute their option.</p>
<p>I just received the letter today and it mentions the 6 credits of bio/chem: 3 credits math; 6 credits English and then other relevant social science work. It then mentions a list of courses by major…but when I go to the website with the list it seems like far too many courses to be able to complete in one year. Do most GTs take two years to get through all their requirements?</p>
<p>The HumEc letter said it could be done in one, but I’m wondering if I can use AP credits to place out of some of the major-specific requirements (The FAQ only said it couldn’t be used to transfer after 1 semester). I guess I’ll send in the form and see what follow-up information they give, but I’m leaning towards not pursuing this. Hopefully I get into Northwestern off the waitlist and that makes the decision a little easier.</p>

</p>
<p>you cant transfer by using AP credit at the school you will be attending…</p>
<p>you can however use those AP credits once you get to cornell…</p>
<p>Hey guys - </p>
<p>I was wondering if there was any advantage to giving up your GT spot? Cornell was not one of my first choices, and while I think it’s really awesome that I kinda-sorta got into an ivy league school, I am really, really excited about my other college choices and I don’t really want to go to college with the intent of transferring. I know that accepting a GT means I will have to take certain classes, which is limiting. But other than that, is there any point of giving it up? Should I save it just in case I end up hating my school (which I won’t) - I would definitely give it up if I knew it meant that someone on the waitlist of something could get my spot.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>p.s. I have a GT into ILR</p>
