You have to download the Mid Term Report and the Registrar’s Report from either the Common App or Cornell’s web site and ask each of your professor’s to complete it by hand
and bring the Registrar’s Report to the Registrar
I’m not sure if anyone has talked about this yet, but do you guys have a section on your checklist for submitted official SAT scores? On collegeboard, it says Cornell received mine but it seems odd they don’t have checklist option for this. If anyone has any info let me know
@ParZival12 The midterm report gives a grade update on your courses. If you aren’t taking any classes this semester then you can fill it out and make a note of that and submit it. If you are, your teachers have to mark what your grade would be right now if this was the end of the semester.
The college report is kind of an assessment. You can bring it to the registrar, but unless they know you personally, they will not be able to fill out anything about what kind of student you are. That is where I started. Ultimately, I had mine filled out my the head of my school’s Honors Program because he knows me personally and also has access to both my academic and disciplinary record. It is better, whenever possible, to try to have it filled out by someone who knows you.
@transferszn It is not required, so it doesn’t appear on the checklist. If it did, it would hold up applications that do not have scores.
@JellyPeeps Thanks, forgot Cornell wasn’t a school who required it
Anyone who has applied for CS?
@123vgabc I applied to cs! in the college of engineering
Are there any students on with a transfer option for CAS? I keep seeing a lot for CALS and ILR but not many for Arts and Sciences. Do all the schools begin releasing decisions on the same day? Daughter emailed to check on her file and they said it was complete. Hoping she is in the first wave of decisions so she can make plans.
@victoriaaaaaa transfer options are most common in the contract schools (CALS, HumanEc, Dyson, and ILR). With the endowed schools, it’s not commonly provided, however I have heard of transfer options given in CAS. And decisions are released on a rolling basis starting from Wednesday, April 24 and then every Wednesday after that. Regardless of the Cornell colleges, they’re all released in the wave of decisions every Wednesdays.
@Enviscimath11 thank you for the response. 4/24 is pretty late. Wish they heard sooner. I have seen very few CAS transfer option posters and would love to hear what their experiences have been. Hopefully the transition will be easy for my daughter, assuming all goes well with her application.
@victoriaaaaaa yeah I totally agree with you, they usually released decisions the third week of April.
As I’m a CALS TO, I’m not too sure about the nature of being a CAS TO. However, I would say it’s likely that the concept of TO is the same across the colleges in Cornell that provide it to certain students. A lot of people have raised concerns and skepticism about the program because they thought that it’s not an absolute guarantee. However, after visiting Cornell during the summer of 2018 for a CALS TO open house, the head of TO admissions for CALS said that one will be ensured admissions as long as academic and disciplinary requirements are met. I’m not sure if that provides proper grounds to make the assumption that it also applies to CAS, but I think it’s logical since HumanEc and ILR goes about the TO process in the same manner as CALS does.
@victoriaaaaaa I have applied to transfer to CAS. I am actually pretty excited about a 4/24 decision date since both Stanford and Princeton release decisions on 5/15.
I applied to College of Arts and Sciences.
@IndirectProofs I feel like you have shared this information before, but what is your intended major/career plan (if you have one)?
@SKYDMZ are you an international transfer?
@JellyPeeps my major is mathematics. It’s more than a major though, it’s my life. My goal is to finish my undergrad and then get a Ph.D.
I thought that was what is was, but I couldn’t find the information.
transfer transcript in fin aid checklist went from initiated to ordered!
@123vgabc yep I’m an international student going to a college in virginia
Sorry, this question maybe stupid. I logged in the financial aid website and the only thing on my page is “to do list.” Nothing else… So the method of looking at whether “initiated” changes to “ordered” only works for those who applied financial aid??
