Both of those screenshots are from the Cornell financial aid portal. We have the same exact ones. We submitted everything to CSS back in November and completed the FAFSA in January (followed up with stupid corrections for signatures that everyone seemed to get).

This is for all CALS waitlist applicants. I spoke to the admissions office today, and they said that there has been no waitlist movement so far this week. I recall someone mentioning there being movement either Monday or Thursday previously, so look out for anything tomorrow. However, the AO told me that they donât know if there will be more waves yet since they still need to see who accepts previous offers off the waitlist, basically the same thing that I was told last time. Donât lose hope tho cuz there can still be more offers, but at this point, I suggest that we all look out for potential TO offers and make the most of those since they are essentially a free pass into Cornell for your second year, (provided that you are willing to complete the requirements and maintain a good GPA (At least a 3.0).
Does anyone know the process for how CALS actually selects applicants off the waitlist? Is it essentially a first-come, first-served basis? Or do they take the time to re-evaluate applicants and look at how their major fits their academic background, interests, and activities?

Basically, they donât know âyetâ if there will be more waves, there could be more. They are prolly gonna continue going taking ppl of the waitlist into the beginning of June tbh cuz thatâs how it usually goes. Im lowkey just banking on that sweet sweet TO offer since that means I can still go to Cornell in my second year.

Do you think I could still transfer to Cornell from a UK university?

What are the chances of getting TO for the waitlist in CALS?
Canât say. All we know is not everyone whoâs waitlisted gets one, though there have been quite a few people in the past who have received TOâs. Only time will tell.

a majority of people in CALS will receive a TO I believe, HOWEVER, this does not mean âeveryoneâ. I think it also depends on your major. I know iâm bringing this up again, but for the biometry and statistics major in particular, it seems like a lot of waitlisted applicants tend to receive a waitlist. However, does anyone know if AP credits can be used to fulfill the requirements of a TO applicant.

Do we need really good grades at the end of senior year to be accepted when applying with the transfer option?
I donât know bro. Anything that deviates from your consistent academic performance over three years of HS is bound to be questioned, though a single B or something like that wonât realistically do anything to hurt your chances
Afaik hs grades donât matter with a TO
Ok, because I definitely think I will get more Bs than As this semester.
