Just so everyone knows, when I went to Cornell for my college visit, I was told that there are some majors for CAS that may not even have room to accept a single transfer student. I don’t think anyone should immediately rush to criticize their own intellect or accomplishments because of this fact. I applied as a non-TO for Physics, but there is a very solid chance that there simply won’t be room for another Physics student. Especially with TOs getting priority.
This post isn’t meant to worry anyone, so I apologize if it does, but it’s what I was told from a CAS counselor. So if you get rejected or have been rejected, realize that it very well could have been out of your control, so it isn’t logical to blame yourself.
does anyone know how cornell is on financial aid? I have been surviving these waves thus far (didn’t think I’d make it this far) and the worst case scenario would be getting in and not being able to afford it. Talk about a heart-breaker lol
@oceansquare me too. I am not sure how it is going to be, but I start to loose hope with what-so-called prestigious universities. I think Cornell has waves with mix decisions
@ParZival12 Was CS one of them? I was told that CS from CAS is less competitive to get in as a transfer than CS from COE. Anyway, I’m a trash anyway given that I got rejected from 6 schools.
non-TO ILR still waiting to hear. Maybe it’s a good sign we haven’t heard yet? They’re mostly mixed decisions and I submitted my app pretty early. Maybe they haven’t chose to reject us just yet lol. Might break my heart next week.
random thought… but I dread the day I’m still here waiting for a decision while the thread just keeps getting leaner and leaner with people getting accepted/rejected… plz next week cornell
Idk if any of you other non-TO CAS people are getting these feeling too, but I’m thinking that most of us will end up getting our decisions next week seeing as how many CAS people got their decisions this week.
@IndirectProofs Have you thought about schools in England? My friend who only has a GED and very good SAT scores (1550 + 3 SAT II with a score of at least 780) applied to King’s College, LSE, Cambridge, UCL, and Imperial. He only got rejected by Imperial… so he is now a freshman at Cambridge! You should look into that if you decide to not go to school for this following year. It’s very easy and cheap to apply to those schools and they give financial help to international students as well.
Here we go again, another day of mixed emotion.i just want to stop by to wish luck to all of you. Please remember that you can accomplish things much bigger than being accepted to these universities. Good luck.
