<p>yo dude i was accepted ED and im from cleveland too, what city do you live in?</p>
<p>I agree with Cayuga. I also think that it is impossible to predict the acceptance rate and demographics with GTs. If your application is strong enough, and cornell thinks you will be a good fit and will prosper at Cornell, but you are not in the top of the pile, then you will be given a GT. They are not going to give out GTs to applicants that they don't believe will do well at Cornell, regardless of the number of "spots" they have open for GTs or not, instate or oos (although more instate do apply). Luckily for Cornell, they get enough competitive applicants to fill up all the open spots. When Cornell first receives your application, they either see potential and move you along in the selection process, or put you in the reject pile. With or without GTs, you either have a good chance of being admitted, or no chance at all.</p>
<p>While it is well known that CAS has GTs, it is also well known that CAS has far fewer GTs.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there is no way to see the difference between in-state and out-of-state acceptances compared to applications due to the fact that such data isn't published, and additionally, it would need to be corrected for the disparity between the pools which likely exists.</p>
<p>I wasn't aware CAS and Engineering gave GTs. Our HS college counselor never mentioned it and I thought they were pretty plugged in. I would like to mention it to them if that's the case.</p>
<p>I thought CAS stopped giving out GTs last year.</p>
<p>@oldfort</p>
<p>COE doesn't; CAS gives a few.</p>
<p>One must consider the significantly higher proportion of in-state applications - especially to the private land-grant schools with reduced tuition. That skews any reasonable assessment of what the numbers mean.</p>
<p>No one's actually answered the OP's question.</p>
<p>That's a good point; no one has answered it.</p>
<p>I don't think it can be answered. I don't think anyone has those numbers.</p>
<p>Anyone feel like calling and asking - "How many people did you offer the guaranteed transfer option last year?"</p>
<p>ha, i hope someone does</p>
<p>I am from California and was offered Gauranteed Transfer. When I called and asked what it was all about because I had never heard of it at lady said that it means I was qualified but they didn't have enough acceptance spots and since Cornell has a high frosh drop out rate they stack their sophomore class so it evens out.</p>

</p>
<p>And by high, you mean four percent.</p>
<p>isn't that the overall for the entire college population? I'm sure some of the colleges have higher drop-out rates than others. granted they still aren't high.</p>
<p>I was just saying what someone at admissions told me. I don't know numbers</p>
