<p>i was in the same boat as Viola and a lot of others here on CC. i was accepted into ILR for the spring 10 (they deferred a lot of fall applicants to guaranteed for the spring)</p>
<p>and of course Viola, you’ve still got my email right?</p>
<p>Yeah, I think I do. If anything, I’ll PM you on here. Have you gotten your housing/schedule yet? Did most of your credits transfer?</p>
<p>Viola, don’t worry about transferring credits. Im a junior transfer and they gave me the maximum number of credits possible, which is 60.</p>
<p>Do you know how credit transfers work? I’m actually hoping they make me a sophomore transfer and not a junior transfer, because otherwise I’m missing 8 credits worth of prereq courses for junior transfers…=(
Most of my credits from college are art classes, though. (2D, Drawing, 3D) So maybe those won’t translate.</p>
<p>Hey, I’m not sure if those would transfer. All of my classes were academic classes so I’m not sure how your situation will work. But if you have other academic classes along with your art classes, those will definately transfer. I would call Ian to make sure.</p>
<p>I’m applying to CALS for animal sciences (prevet). I do have an insane amount of AP credits, and a minute amount of academic credits from RISD (which I’m not sure count…). Ian is the ILR transfer guy, right? I guess I’ll call CALS tomorrow =)</p>
<p>viola, macgruber would know more about the housing than me, but ive talked to a bunch of kids who say theyve gotten their schedules (made for them) already and that housing has been assigned.</p>
<p>as far as the deferred kids, i got a letter saying “if you chose to take more classes in the fall, we’ll hit you up for a Mid Grade Report sometime in november.”</p>
<p>so since im taking micro and stats in the fall at another college, theyre gonna see how im doing then. unfortunately, they can take away my admissions if i dont get a 3.3 or atleast a B in both classes… :[ lameeez. but yeah haha i guess like after that they’ll be like “woot! good job! you’ve been accepted!” because Ian said we didn’t ahve to apply again, thank god haha</p>
<p>So what will be the intake like for this spring? Brandnew I you said they gave a lot of deferrals from the fall. Do you have any idea how many? This is definitely bad news for us prospectives as spots are already being filled.</p>
<p>not sure man… no one really has any idea about the spring spots… :/</p>
<p>i was going to call to make another appointment with my transfer counselor and ask about that spot situation. when i get the courage and find out when i have time to go (i’ll be there during orientation, so i don’t know if they’ll let me talk to anyone then), i’ll report back.</p>
<p>I may be applying.</p>
<p>I had HS abroad, therefore no SATs, APs, or any HS records.</p>
<p>Now I am going to have 2nd semester. Will apply for 3rd for Cornell.</p>
<p>1st Semester gpa 4.0(13 credits)</p>
<p>Have Done volunteer(food bank, Project Cure) 120 + Hours.</p>
<p>Going to join bunch of clubs for fall. (PLANS)</p>
<p>Ambassador, SGA, Orientation, Gardening, HPO, Environment.Am Med Student Assn.</p>
<p>Will Do Research most probably In Chemistry.</p>
<p>Job as a Math Tutor.</p>
<p>I emailed Ian about the Spring spots. Ironicallyunsure, you should check too =)</p>
<p>I’ll let you know when I find out.</p>
<p>Is Cornell basing their initial decision on your midterm grades? Or will they go ahead and give you conditional acceptance before they see your midterm grades. Also, are they interested in class rank? If so, are they looking for your rank for the specific program you are in or for the whole school?</p>
<p>i would assume they base it on midterm grades since they ask for them, to make sure that you’re keeping up the good work that you have (presumably) already completed. the commonapp official’s form does have a place for school seal and rank, so they are. they will most likely see your rank for your year.</p>
<p>I emailed Ian a couple weeks ago about the spring spots. He said there should be just as many as usual… They may defer some for next fall</p>
<p>Thanks Bj8nes for verifying. I hope they do offer deferrals for the students that did not get in.</p>
<p>Okay thanks ironic. I do see the spot on the officials report. I don’t think my school ranks but I will double check. By the way is class rank based on all your grades to date?</p>
<p>i’m not sure about that. and i also don’t know if they go by credit, because credit-wise i’m a junior at my school so i hope i don’t get thrown in with the class of '11s. hmm. it’s probably best to ask your schools admin office.</p>
<p>and thanks bj8nes, that’s good to know.</p>
<p>Ian finally got back to me on the Spring spot situation.</p>
<p>"At this time, there is no way to predict what the competitiveness of the
Spring pool will be like, as it will depend on the final number of
available spots, the number and quality of regular transfers applicants,
and the number of GT students who decide to pursue the transfer and meet
the requirements. "</p>
<p>Hey everyone! hey Violaghost!! Its so nice to see you all again and to get back on your feet and not give up on your dream school! I hope you all do well and wish you the best of luck!if you have any questions on the process I can answer some :).</p>
