Cornell Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

@youcandoooit You don’t know if it is for sure a reject. Even it is, that’s not the end of the world, I heard the founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma, was rejected by Harvard for 9 times. His bachelor degree was from a community college like school, lol. I am sure you are doing better than Jack Ma so far, so cheer up.

My application was completed on Apr. 15 (they didn’t receive my materials and didn’t notify me to resend???) and thus went for review late. Any clue how the decision will be delayed?

@bvbchamps I submitted around the same time as you.


No finaid checklist, no call from Ian, and no envelope from cornell in the mail.

Calling a quits on cornell and accepting this L.

Hey, did any of you guys who had a FA waiver, see on the Applicant Portal that your Application Fee was missing around April 9th- and did you get it cleared up with the Admissions Office? I did, and though it has been waived, I wonder if this will delay decisions for several of us since the application went from complete to incomplete overnight for a few of us. Mine was literally complete for 2 months up until that time.

I applied to CAS and got my application in about two and a half weeks early. I’ve tried the pin trick and it looks like I’m not getting a decision tomorrow. Does anyone know if this is a good sign, or if my application just hasn’t been reviewed yet?

holding a candlelit vigil tn for my app you’re all invited ?

When I try the PIN trick, and it sends me a reset password email and all, it says error when I login. Is that because I previously applied as a freshman applicant back in high school?

Was in the same exact situation @PBMAX1! Application was complete for months but around April 10 I saw that the fee was still missing from the checklist. Submitted the required doc immediately and it was waived the next day. Pretty sure that is what has caused this delay.

Hey, guys! I tried the pin trick and I saw this window popping out saying “we were unable to locate your PIN. Please try again, or contact Technical Support. blahblah…” Does that mean the pin trick didn’t work for me? Or should I actually contact technical support? Best luck to everyone!

Ok so let me get this straight. Out of the pool of people that applied to ILR u mean to tell me only two of us getting decisions tm?

Wack

Esp. because that first wave mauled everyone w rejections.

@Tomatobaby451 it just mean your decision won’t be out this week. No need to contact customer support.

@parkcentral omg i’m dead “wack” i feel that so hard

Hey! Does anyone want to make a GroupMe for accepted 2019 Fall transfers?

@Optimistic_22 Well let’s hope they didn’t put us in the back of the line! ?I think we are both Dyson non-TO’s…and I am still on ‘initiated’- are you too? And I didn’t do the pin trick, so not sure if I will find out tomorrow- have you tried it?

I have kept trying the pin trick. No pin found.

Yeah, I know it’s dumb to keep trying it, but I wanted to make sure it didn’t magically work.

@parkcentral history seems to be against us with the first two waves being mostly rejections traditionally, but the fact that last week was such a big non-TO ILR rejection wave gives me some hope that we have a chance

@bvbchamps when you say last week was a “huge rejection wave”, what percent of the applicants would you estimate got rejected? Just gut feeling

@grundeis, not sure how representative the people that are on here are of the wider applicant pool, but I saw a large chunk of non-TO ILR rejections last week compared to other acceptance/rejections. Looked to me like a lot of TO acceptances, a few Dyson non-TO acceptances, and mostly ILR non-TO rejections.
