FYI, I looked more into this and GT only applies to a few of the colleges and without knowing how many of those 5% actually come to Cornell, then it is only an invitation.

"In 2009, the most recent year for which statistics are available, about 1,500 of 34,000 freshman applicants — or less than five percent — received the option, according to Jason Locke, director of undergraduate admissions.

“Additionally, not all of Cornell’s colleges offer the conditional option. For the last several decades, the College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences and College of Art, Architecture and Planning have forgone the program because of the specialized nature of their curricula, according to Prof. Ronald Ehrenberg, industrial and labor relations. The option to accept transfers proves more beneficial to statutory colleges that have endured substantial budget cuts, and must independently raise their own tuition revenues.”
