Cornell Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

@sbu2022 I mean, 59 credits. Not too much. Came in with 28, got 31 while I was here.
@ParZival12 Math/Physics double major, education minor. Thinking I’ll drop physics. Got kind of boring. Also, I’d love to see you on campus!!! But I’m currently on the waitlist somewhere else and if I get in there I’ll probably go there.

It goes without saying that Cornell epitomizes the meaning of holistic admissions within the Ivy community. The essays. They’re taken seriously.

Would someone mind explaining what TO is? Thanks

@california203 TO - Transfer Option. An all but guaranteed transfer for applicants who complete certain requirements

hey guys, wasn’t gonna post but got rejected, humec TO. i took the right courses, got the required gpa, got the grades they asked for… saw that others didn’t get in so i’d thought i would join in

@jjk624 this is terrible, so far, you are the 5th person rejected despite being TO hum eco and meet all requirements, while some accepted without all requirements or low GPA, we must find out what is going on

@jjk624 when was your decision released?

@aple got mine on tuesday morning, the usual

um hey human ecology fam that got rejected even tho we fulfilled requirements, do you people want to start a groupme? i think there’s power in numbers so they’ll have to tell us what is going on if we all ask together?

@BobSagets , definitely, please, if you are TO hum eco and fulfilled all requirements and still got rejected or given another TO, please speak up

@jjk624 were you given another TO?

@aple no bc im a second year trying to transfer starting my third year

@aple probably going to try calling them

@jjk624 this seems to have happened for A LOT of people, which is why we were thinking of emailing/calling and telling them we’re in contact with each other, because otherwise they’d never actually tell us what’s going on or if there were mistakes made on their end. PM me

@jjk624 and others, when I called them, twice, they said I can’t speak with anyone til June, which totally doesn’t make sense. Since you are not applying again next year, you really should fight this

@BobSagets idk how to PM you!
@aple yeah i really wanted to get in, i’ve prepared to transfer specifically to cornell and i hate my life at the school i’m at rn

@BelleD So you got the email not on Tue but on Thursday? That seems surprising as usually the decisions are revealed on Tuesday…
Anyway Congrats!!

any Dyson AEM TO not hear back yet or get rejected?

@jjk624 same! Let’s create groupme together!

Yes! Let’s create a groupme
