Who's applying for Spring transfer 09'-Cornell

<p>Look at the bright side ..at least the 5th would be a good date to hear our decisions</p>

<p>The 19th??! That's a week after my school finishes, that would be extremely annoying..I'm going to call in the middle of next week (if I haven't received a decision yet) to see if they can give me the decision over the phone, because otherwise I don't know whether to bring all of my stuff here in Michigan back to Virginia for the break.</p>

<p>sorry I was talking about his/her dream being on the 5th.. 19th would be awful.</p>

<p>As Cornell admission selection committees approach the end of early decision application review, we want to share information with you regarding Cornell’s online admission decision notification process.</p>

<p>Early decision applicants will be able to view their admission decisions online on Thursday, December 11, beginning at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time). A few days prior to the decision release date, we will contact all early decision applicants by email with instructions for viewing your decision online. Please note that decisions will not be posted on your Cornell online application status account, so please follow the instructions that will be outlined in our email to you.</p>

<p>You do not need to do anything further at this time. We will post a new message on our web site once we have sent the email instructions for viewing your decision online.</p>

<p>Spring transfer applicants: Please note that spring transfer admission decisions will be posted on the Cornell online application status system.</p>

<p>I'm just guessing the 19th based on what the HumEc people told me. They said late December and possibly into January (although I think they said this just to cover themselves).</p>

<p>Good point about bringing your stuff home or not. If I don't hear before the end of the semester then I'll have to come back and bring stuff home. My school closes for winter break and they have a pretty strict policy about letting people into their rooms, but I think they can understand my situation. Either that or I'm just going to have to break in.</p>

<p>This talk about the 19th is killing me... I applied to CAS, but regardless, I'm getting nervous. I don't really know what to do. I just got off the phone with my mom, who essentially just said, "sit tight." She doesn't really understand the commitments and intent to return for next semester that are putting me in a bind. Not to mention that on the 20th, I'm supposed to have moved out of the dorms (with my stuff if I'm not staying or leaving it because I'm coming back).</p>

<p>I meet with my staff of Resident Assistants every week and we'll only have one more meeting this semester. Next Tuesday is last day to notify my staff and decide upon the school, but I won't have even had time to visit the school and I probably won't have a decision in my hands. The bind just keeps getting tighter and tighter. I can't tell hardly anyone on staff, because I might lose my spot for being an RA next semester. So meanwhile, I'm just holding my hand over my mouth, hoping that this decision comes NOW. But I know it is more than just UNLIKELY that I will know anything by the 11th, seeing as the 11th is when ED applicants are notified. </p>

<p>I called Monday about my decision, briefly mentioning the fact that I might have trouble if the decision comes to late, but hardly stressing that as utmost importance. By next Tuesday, I need to have something... Any advice? What should I do?</p>

<p>Wow you guys are incredible. You're wasting your time posting on these forums letting the world know how nervous you feel. The adcom don't feel your tensions. Results are going to be the same. So sit back and study, so that you don't screw up your academics. Then again, I'm posting here too, but that's from being so irritated. Pathetic.</p>

<p>Jset, I appreciate that you're so irritated. I won't post about these issues anymore, but you should know that everyone handles this pressure differently and everyone has commitments/involvements on their current campus. It's blatantly insulting for you to essentially call me pathetic, for what is this forum? </p>

<p>It's a community.</p>

<p>Jset, shut up. If you're so irritated then stop reading this thread.</p>

<p>HopingFor: Wait a little bit and if we still haven't heard anything then definitely call. The adcoms know what type of time pressures transfers face, especially spring transfers because the turnaround time is so short. I'm sure they'll try their best to help you out.</p>

<p>What really is pathetic is the gaul some people have to think that they've been appropriated the power by a keyboard to type and judge so rudely (and unnecessarily) of the actions of other people. Ok, guys, stop posting on the forums. This fine, upstanding citizen thinks you're all pathetic for caring about your educations. Please stop, this should be the last post. We don't want this person to be any more irritated.</p>

<p>I (and probably everyone else in this thread) don't have any expectation that my statements here will in any way affect the outcome of the admissions decision. Even still, it helps to wait out the process with other people who are in a similar situation. </p>

<p>Hopingfor, we're in exactly the same situation, so if I end up calling next week, I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.</p>

<p>When you guys have called, have you guys been calling the admissions office or your individual colleges?</p>

<p>Well when I called, I initially called the undergraduate admissions office, but I was eventually transferred to the specific college, and then from the specific college to the transfer coordinator/director/something related to transfer?</p>

<p>gaah, I think I'm gonna call again. Lol, nothing better to do on the way back from work :p</p>

<p>I don't know how good of an idea it is to repeatedly call admissions.</p>

<p>Jset:</p>

<p>The spring transfer class is usually small and I guarantee you that some of the people who post in this thread will be accepted-->You might run into these people in the near future(Hint: Come orientation, you don't want to have the "asshat" reputation).</p>

<p>good point because my real name is jset1989</p>

<p>It's ok jest, I'll be friends with you. =]</p>

<p>Your anonymosity over the internet has its limits; especially if the people you interact with are potential peers...trust me on this one, I speak from experience ;)</p>

<p>1 week (hopefully)!</p>
