Who's applying for Fall transfer 09'-Cornell?

<p>15th... 10 char</p>

<p>Anyone having trouble distinguishing between the general Common App Why Transfer essay and the supplements Cornell wants detailing why you want to study in their specific program? I know I am, and I'm having trouble writing the two essays without simply reiterating my point. Anyone have any suggestions for me?</p>

<p>Be more specific to Cornell with this essay. Research their department for the major you're interested in; why do you feel it suits you? Give specific examples connecting your interests/goals to how THEY can help.</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting into AEM?</p>

<p>Here are my stats: (Accounting Major and planning to have a double major/minor in Computer Science or Finance)
1) GPA is 3.98 (All A except 1 B+)</p>

<p>2) 5 awards from County Executive, County Sheriff and Board of Chosen Freeholders (Leadership Award and commendation of Certificates).</p>

<p>3) Executive Board of Student Government Council (Secretary)
Treasurer at International Student Association
Head of 2009 SGC Election Committee
volunteering as a financial coach at non-profit organization
Student Ambassador
Math tutor
Phi Theta Kappa member
Assistant at Admissions Office
Dean's List
Certified 'Community Emergency Response Team' (CERT) Member</p>

<p>4) enlisted in an army for 26 months(Not the U.S. Army).
Six months of experience as a 4th Squad Leader.</p>

<p>5) Very strong recommendation letters from my accounting professor and
3 more letters from the President of my school, Dean, and Advisor of Phi Theta Kappa.</p>

<p>6) Earned 65 college-credits / High School GPA is really bad 3.1/4.0? But I earned more than 60 college-credits so I don't think that admission officers will look at my high school GPA that much.</p>

<p>7) Very unique diverse cultural backgrounds.
Born in South Korea
lived in Indonesia for 10 years. 3rd~12th grade.
Trilingual (Korean, Indonesian, English)</p>

<p>Please advise me on this.</p>

<p>Sup fellas.</p>

<p>So, I still haven't completed my app. Anyone else feel terribly behind? </p>

<p>Also, if the deadline is March 15, do they mean 11:59 PM on March 14 or 11:59 PM on March 15? Not that I intend on waiting that long! Uhh, yeah, I hope not. :)</p>

<p>^-- not sure but im sending mine this monday... :D</p>

<p>Hey, where do I find the mid-year report?</p>

<p>11:59AM on March 15th...the mid-year report is on the application materials page...which you can get to through the undergraduate transfer admissions page...</p>

<p>Hi I'm a sophmore in college and I am not happy at my current school and I wish to transfer. as junior. i'd be applying. do you think I would get into CALS with a 3.5?</p>

<p>I'm so nervous about this! And it's not even close to decision time for transfers</p>

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I'm a deferred transfer from last semester, so I'll be starting with you guys in Fall09. </p>

<p>Anybody going for CAS chemistry? </p>

<p>You guys shouldn't be nervous about handing in everything early. I submitted all the essays on the last day...it was fine...take your time..</p>

<p>Wow, they defer transfers?</p>

<p>Yep, one semester, maybe two.</p>

<p>Does the Mid-Semester Report have to be in by March 15?</p>

<p>yes, post marked by march 15th.</p>

<p>Decisions are based on rolling after last week of April correct? Does anyone plan to take summer courses? I have to. But it's ok! Because I want to go to Cornell so badly!</p>

<p>dragon, yes, i think so. and no, i'm not taking summer courses; thank goodness! i'll be working like a dog to save money for a move from CA to somewhere on the East Coast (depending on acceptance letters).</p>

<p>So it takes about a month to receive our Net ID right? And What email do they send it to you? The one you put on the common app or the one you put on the supplement? just making sure.</p>

<p>Not sure what e-mail they send it to, Dragon, but I turned my common app and supplement on Feb 2nd and I've had my net i-d for about 2 and 1/2 weeks.</p>
