<p>hey,
thru Cornell's website i found out that they dont require international transfer student to submit Standardized test scores!!!
can anyone shed more light on it!!??? </p>
<p>furthermore, whom do u contact for transfer ..i mailed to <a href="mailto:transfer@cornell.edu">transfer@cornell.edu</a> but they havnt replied yet.</p>
<p>Are you applying to ILR? In that case, contact Ian Schachner</p>
<p>I've deferred enrollment to next fall, so I guess I'll be part of your transfer class.</p>
<p>Hope all of you make it in. Good luck!</p>

<p>i know cornell only accepts about 14% of transfers to CAS, but what is the applicant pool like? would my stats get me in?
oh, and in high school i also got two leadership awards (one was a state conference).</p>
<p>honestly, you look really good but know that econ is probably the most competitive of cas (though major technically doesnt matter)</p>
<p>one question, while selecting for admissions for CALS who much will the decision be based on which major ur taking?? is it hard for anymajor and easy for other??or all are treated the same??</p>
<p>Transfer admission in CALS is based on major....some majors have more competition than others.</p>
<p>so does the major also matter for just the regular arts and sciences college? because if it does, i probably won't get in.</p>
