Who's applying for Spring transfer 10'-Cornell?

<p>i dont know, ironic. but i dont think advisors from other dpts would look at your apps. i mean there are many applicants ( unfortunately :frowning: ) and it’s not realistic for the school to ask other dpts to look at your app. </p>

<p>i just faxed three rec letters. and… 27,000 views!!! i feel so far from getting in. i mean…i dont know…i applied for 4 schools and feel like ill get into none of them. (U of R, U of W at madison, CMU, and Cornell) i actually started thinking about applying for cornell for graduate school…i mean what do i do with my future. i wanted to be a intellectual property lawyer, but figured that this country has too many lawyers already and pretty much no position is open at the moment. maybe computer science for my major instead? but i just give up my dream like that? but i dont wanna be jobless…sigh…sorry im just babbling</p>

<p>^^^I believe IP law is a consistently expanding field.</p>

<p>No idea who reads our applications (all I know is that CALS is big and that our credit evaluations are done separately), but I do know that if you REALLY stand out and seem to fit REALLY well in a different major/different school, they might actually forward your application to there.</p>

<p>Everything’s in now, including finaid; pleaaase just let it be 2 more weeks.</p>

<p>i don’t want to be sent to a different major/school (although if that was the only way to go, then i’d be all for it); ideally i’ll just get into humec :slight_smile: i don’t know. i’ve heard that the transfer advisors look them over and have a large say, and i just really don’t think he likes me. we’ve met/talked 3 times, and each time he got better and friendlier, but even at his best he seemed a bit cold. he even said to me, “there’s always next fall!” but not exactly in an encouraging way. in a i-already-don’t-want-to-take-you way :frowning: i don’t know. obviously freaking out here. him saying that has been in the back of my mind since he said it, and i just put my heart and soul into my app this time, so if i don’t get in, i literally have NOTHING to give them that will top what i did this time around.</p>

<p>Ironically, just relax. You are a lovable person!!! Everything is in now and we’re all going to wait it out.
I just faxed my Midterm grades and feel relieved.
Best of luck to everyone!! :)</p>

<p>Lol I don’t have a fax machine so I had to use snail mail. So I went to the school mail room to give the guy my envelope + 44 cents (stamps are getting more expensive!). He glances at my envelope and his face is like “-.O TRANSFER >:O ?” And I’m like yeahhhh…And he takes my envelope away to mail it out (though sometimes they give you the stamp so you stick it on yourself). I had this very paranoid feeling that he didn’t actually mail the envelope out and threw it away so that I wouldn’t be able to transfer lol.</p>

<p>hahaha molly, you are actually one of my favorite people ever. please come up with me the week of thanksgiving. and thank youuuuu, you always make me feel better, but i’m so incredibely stressed about this whole thing! rah! if you talk to paul… tell him how much you love me hahahaha</p>

<p>and azu awww. no i’m sure he mailed it, you’ll be fine hehe. i also sent mine out via snail mail, so no worries. </p>

<p>i stayed up til 5:30 am this morning and then had to be up again at 7:30 to go to class until 8:30 pm. 2 tests and another ridic assignment that was due. blerg. i fully intend on spending the rest of the night in my bed with tiramisu and movies/tv shows and then passing out and sleeping for a good 12 hours. i’m actually really excited about this.</p>

<p>LOL. Azu, hahaha, i love the smiley usage, I can totally see someone doing that. But yeah, you’re fine. :wink: </p>

<p>And I agree with Molly, there’s not much left we can do. I’m collecting midterm grades on Mon/Tues and mailing them out on such, just in time for the deadline. My FA is confirmed to be good so there’s that.</p>

<p>I feel like I’ve done all I can do. I’m mega nervous of course-this is much different from my scenario last semester.</p>

<p>Last time, I applied to SUNY Oswego, SUNY Geneseo, Siena College and Cornell. I heard back from Siena instantly (for Biology) and they were like ‘yeah! come here!’ plus one of my best friends goes there. Then Oswego accepted me, Geneseo denied me, and as May 1st rolled around I had waited so long that I was just convinced Cornell was ready to send out a big ol’ batch of denials and I’d just have to accept it since I knew I had been a long shot.</p>

<p>What sucks was, right before I got the Cornell decision, I was fighting with my parents to let me go to Siena and just put the debt on my shoulders for when I graduate. (They actually charged us more than Cornell, a whopping $39,000. For my family since my dad makes just enough money to not get aid, but not enough money to substantially pay for me, that’s too much.) And believe me, if anyone of you have seen or been to Siena, it’s NOT worth that much money to go there.</p>

<p>Point being, it was basically either choose Oswego, a place I really didn’t want to be, and just stay there (because my parents refused to let me go through transferring <em>again</em>) or wait at my CC and apply to Cornell again…luckily I got in. Unluckily, two weeks later they gave us like, nothing in aid.</p>

<p>The problem this time around is, I don’t get to choose Siena or another school if I don’t get in, I have to be stuck at home…for six more months…and that’s only provided that I actually get <em>in</em> the next time around too. I REALLY cannot stay here anymore. It’s like, a purgatory stage between high school and the real world. I’m sick of being bombarded with “How’d your test go? What did you get? Is that failing? How much homework do you have? Did you finish the laundry? Can you go drive here, here, here, and here for me and get these things? Can you pick up your brother?” Kalskdfjiehfudanf …</p>

<p>lol. So yeah. Can’t really take much more of it. I’m putting my confidence chips on the table, though. I can’t think of a reason why they would accept me one semester and not the next, provided of course that all of you aren’t also CALS Com majors with 3.9+ GPAs and better recs than me. (I know one of you is, haha, but let’s keep it at that number!)</p>

<p>And yeah, the waiting will probably kill us, then the decisions will be like being raised from the dead.</p>

<p>[/rant] Haha. It’s good we have this support group. I hope everyone either gets in or gets into one of their other choice transfer schools. For that scenario, remember Cornell might be awesome, but so are some other places! Given the right mindset, I could definitely get to Siena and then Cornell for grad school. Keep your heads high guys, we’ve got no reason to be down about whatever happens.</p>

<p>EDIT: Holy crraaaaaaaaap, longest post of my life much?</p>

<p>I have the midnight munchies. I’m getting a donut, lol.</p>

<p>If anyone is worried about mailing…I faxed my midterms from Staples…$2.30!
Have a great day everyone!</p>

<p>All of the materials which I sent in are now reflected upon my online status. It’s game time now.</p>

<p>water, i’m the same way. i commute to my school and i feel like it’s high school but farther away and i can’t ever hang out with people at night because i drive an hour one way to get there, so by the time classes are done (9:30 am - 7 pm), i’m exhausted and i don’t want to stay around just to have to drive back another hour. and i completely understand about the parent thing. my mom is always checking up on my work and seeing if i’m being a good kid or whatever. i can’t wait to get out of here and actually be living the college life. hopefully we’ll both be able to move out in january!
it’s just the waiting game. i wish i could sleep for the next month and the wake up and have my decision hehe</p>

<p>I’m worried…I faxed rec letters to the number jemma told me two days ago. Upon that, I sent them an email saying please get back to me when you confirm these letters. And I haven’t heard back from them…maybe the lady in the library didn’t fax them properly? ugh… :(</p>

<p>^^^Just keep checking your online account. The people in the admissions office are pretty busy during this time of year, so I doubt they’ll remember to e-mail every student back about their inquiries regarding their applications. From my experience, they take about 2-3 business days to update accounts after they’ve received new material, so just chill out.</p>

<p>For all of you who asked about my interview with Ian before, I actually had the interview on Wednesday morning and I believe it went pretty damn well. If you want full details I’ll be happy to give them if you ask, but I’ll employ some brevity here and just say that I fully explained why ILR appealed to me, which included an analysis of the classes and some of the ECs involved with the school. Ian said I seemed like “a pretty good fit” (his exact words) so that sounds promising so we shall see in a few weeks.</p>

<p>valvsu, don’t worry. give it some more time so that they can update the system. and yay east, that sounds great.</p>

<p>thanks everybody. and congrats east. that sounds pretty promising</p>

<p>east89 congrats man! Those are the words you want to hear from a man that might ultimately decide your fate. I PM’d you to find out more about how the interview went.</p>

<p>Urghh I called in to ask them if they got my test reports and the lady who answered said that it doesn’t matter, because if they’re not a requirement they won’t look at them anyway. But I guess it’s okay because they’re listed on the Common App for me already (even if that might not be as legit as receiving scores from the agencies themselves). Unless, she also meant that they won’t even look at that part on the Common App either, which I reaaaally hope they do, given my situation.</p>

<p>WHATEVER, moar waiting to do.</p>

<p>Did anybody else receive a transfer package from Cornell?</p>

<p>well i havent, TFN</p>

<p>nope, still haven’t gotten the packet. do you think they’re not sending it to reapplicants?</p>
