<p>^^My instructor evaluation got lost but I already faxed them not one but two LOR. I checked today and my application was sent for review :S</p>
<p>East- She was all frantic. My brother too. hahahaha. Its nice to see they’re empathy towards this whole process lol</p>
<p>for the midterm report, all we have to do is get signatures, and then mail it?</p>
<p>the top of the midterm report says “please fill in the lines below or, if you are not currently enrolled in college, note that fact on the form. Return it to:” and it has a box for where you can put your address and the transfer admissions PO box address right below it. am i suppose to fill that out if i am in college? (is this confusing? lol) sorry if this seems dumb, i’m confused …</p>
<p>also, i want to drop a course (intermediate micro analysis) because it’s not necessary for me to take it (i’m an accounting major andi guess hotel admin for cornell) and i want to utilize the time to take on an internship instead. so i didn’t include it in the midterm report. should i call cornell and explain it to them?</p>
<p>For the last time, I’ll be at the November 5th ILR transfer day.</p>
<p>Not to be a downer–I will be anyway–but after reading through this thread and infiltrating your group, many of you are seemingly confident that you will get accepted to Cornell. I would recommend, as this is my third time applying to Cornell, taking a more level-headed approach to the admissions process. Do not misinterpret that statement negatively. I’ve observed a lot of over-confidence in this group, and although many of you may very well be accepted, some of you will certainly be rejected. I think the wise man/woman should seriously consider that rejection is just as possible (if not more so) than acceptance, and to meditate with such a mantra. Just putting my two cents in.</p>
<p>^^^1. Don’t infiltrate, just assimilate. We’re nice people for the most part.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I honestly don’t think any of us are over-confident; we just know what we’re capable of and we know that we put all of our effort into our applications. We’re trying to think positive, but as you can see from the previous pages, people such as myself and Ironic are seriously worried about our chances. In fact, I believe everyone who has had their application forwarded to a review committee has posted about how much they’re freaking out. It’s inevitable that not all of us are going to be accepted, but having faith certainly can’t hurt and we all know that we could be rejected very easily. Also, if you now attend Cal Poly, I’m assuming that you’re applying to Cornell for the school of engineering, which is Cornell’s most selective college. That may have played a role in your rejections (no offense.)</p></li>
<li><p>Who told these noobs that it was okay to apply to Cornell? They’re hurting our chances, lol.</p></li>

<p>Riley- I was missing my college transcript and my official’s report. It was reasonable that the official’s report wasn’t checked off until today since that was sent in overnight a few days after the deadline due to extensive red tape which was employed by my school when I attempted to get it filled out (that’s a long story for another time. If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll explain). Also, I apparently sent it to the wrong address since the admissions rep. who I spoke to on the phone told me that overnight materials should be sent to the street address which is listed on the site, not the P.O. Box which transfers are supposed to send their materials to (yea, I’m still not sure why it’s like that.) The fact that the college transcript still never arrived is much more confusing, though. I sent it in over a month ago and it was the first portion of my application which was submitted. I’m just going to pick up another copy on Monday and ship it through express mail.</p>
<p>calpoly, i’m aware of the very real possibilty that i’ll be rejected, as this is my second time around. this time, however, i feel that i put a lot more of myself and lot more work into my application, so compared to last time, i’m definitely more confident in my work and my essays. i think my application is a lot stronger this time around; that’s where my confidence is. i don’t know if i’ll be accepted, but that’s obviously what i’m hoping for and i hope that my effort, energy, and time are appreciated and rewarded, that’s all. </p>
<p>brandnew, we’re leaving for cornell on nov 5 early in the morning, so technically you could go to the nov 5 transfer day (which is when viola is going), but i don’t know if we’ll be there on time although we should be if there’s not much traffic (and if we leave at like 4:30 am haha). i was planning on attending the nov 6 program, as there’s only 1 day for humec. another option is we leave nov 4, but i don’t get out of class until 7 and then it’ll take me an hour to get home, so we won’t even be on the road until 8 and won’t get there until midnight/1 am and i don’t know how our hosts will feel about us showing up in the middle of the night.</p>
<p>Haha Im down for whatever!</p>
<p>^^^Did you ever fix that PM situation :(</p>
<p>I hate to say it, but calpoly24 is right. Just gotta stay cool about this thing. I don’t thing we’re over-confident, but the waiting drives everybody crazy.</p>
<p>BTW, my application has been forwarded for review, while my midterm is still not in, which MEANS that that message being up doesn’t mean much. It’s a long month till decisions still.</p>
<p>When I visited Cornell, I stayed at the Hampton Inn in Ithaca. The price was $95/nite (w/my AAA card.) They have an indoor pool, gym, complimentary breakfast, refrigerator & microwave. “I sound like a Hampton Inn spokesperson!!”
If you get your own room, you don’t have to worry about inconveniencing anyone (or their roomates) & you have your privacy.<br>
It was less than 2 miles from the campus.
I’ll miss everyone, but, on that Friday, I have my first Chem test.<br>
Please call me, Ironically & Brandnew, & let me hear about the trip!!
xo :)</p>
<p>I was gonna respond with what east said last night, but I got lazy. XD And yeah, nothing to do now but keep our heads up. Good luck guys ;)</p>
<p>^^^Glad I wasn’t just speaking for myself.</p>
<p>molly, we will definitely call you and let you know what went on. wish you were coming!!! if you want, you can be my driving buddy when i go up to pick up the boy for thanksgiving, as i’ll be there on either the monday or tuesday of that week and then we’ll come home wednesday night. i’ll get in touch with you as it gets closer to then and maybe you can come up then 
i would love for time to pass by more quickly. i obsessively check my self-service page even though i know nothings going to happen for another month or so ha.
i literally cant think of anything else except cornell 
i have never wanted anything so badly in my life! argh</p>
<p>I know this is a spring thread, but do you guys think I have a shot for fall 2010?</p>
<p>Stats:
4.0 gpa 30 credits by the time of application, 48 credits overall by the time I transfer.</p>
<p>2.8 hs gpa

Amazing turnaround</p>
<p>Applying to CALS-communication</p>
<p>no posts in almost 24 hours?! ridiculous.</p>
<p>Yea, I missed you guys :(</p>
<p>I guess there’s not much to talk about now besides some FAQs and about how much people are freaking out. Of course, we could try to have normal conversations, but I don’t think CC is that type of place since the community isn’t really that active.</p>
<p>true. for the fall, viola made some chatroom thing that everyone could go to and people could talk. i’m not tech-savvy at all, but if anyone else knows how to do such a thing, do it and i’ll definitely be there hehe.</p>
<p>I’d definitely use the chat room to kill time at work or while I’m interning (god, I hate that place.)</p>
<p>Was the chat room on here or another site?</p>
<p>another site. you could probably find the exact chat link in the fall thread, but i don’t know how to search for it and it would take hours to look through the entire thing </p>
<p>i guess maybe google free chat room? i have no idea how the world works lol</p>
<p>Who wants to get accepted so much that you can already feel the chill of Ithaca?</p>
