Transfer option to ILR! I could not be happier-- Cornell has been my dream school since I was in elementary school. I may have to wait another year, but knowing I’ll get to graduate from there is magic
My D took the transfer option several years ago to ILR and feels it was one of the best decisions she ever made!!
@Daisy0114 that’s so great to hear! Do you mind telling me where she went her freshman year?
Anyone get transfer option to CAS?
@yikescolle9e , she went to suny Geneseo, but you can go anywhere, even a community college,
Seems like a lot of us got transfer. I don’t understand the difference between transfer students vs waitlisted
Does Cornell actually want us to transfer? If they wanted us to attend why not accept for this year? This isn’t a bitter thing I’m genuinely curious
I got the transfer option can someone explain
I have the same question as @Kd6410. How do they decide who gets waitlisted and who gets the transfer option?
@Daisy0114 do they accept everyone who received the transfer option who meet the gpa and course requirements?
My biggest hesitation with “accepting” the offer (even though it’s not binding) is that Cornell would basically be deciding my first year schedule for me which I’m not excited about - a school that rejected me (at least for fall 2018) shouldn’t have that much power over me
@hanna2000, yes
If you complete the required courses and meet the grade and gpa requirements , you are in. When my D did it, you needed at least a b in a course , I do not remember what the gpa requirement was then. She took the economic classes ( micro and macro) at a community college because she thought it would be easier to get the b grades there, rather than geneseo.
@Winky1 happy to meet you here again! My D got rejected here but WL at Columbia 
@Kd6410 , Once you complete the ILR core requirements you are free to take whatever interests you. My D took many courses in AEM and PAM, she ended up with the equivalent of an Econ degree in addition to an ILR degree. At Cornell you can take courses in any school at Cornell that you want. That’s really the great thing about Cornell. Her friend did an ILR degree and also a very strong concentration in CS
A transfer option is far better than getting waitlisted, because as long as you meet the transfer requirements you are in
Transfer option seems weird to me. I wonder how many sign up for it but don’t end up doing it. Like, leaving all your freshman year friends at whatever college you start at. Then trying to make news ones at a new campus as a sophomore might be tough? Idk, I guess if I went to a Cornell feeder prep school and knew I had a decent amount of friends there it would be OK.
Rejected… I thought I had a chance since my essays + interview were great… but congrats to those who got it!
