Least to say March 31st has not been a good day.



By the time I got rejected from Cornell senior year, I was so numb to the process. I actually didn’t get accepted to even one college I applied (all top schools, didn’t have a safety). I got one waitlist.



And perhaps you can be a bit more specific on the transfer advice? I don’t know I just feel lost right now. I’ve planned it out



I know it’s probably a real bummer, but not too often do you get a second chance at a dream. Cornell has one of the largest transfer programs in the country and easily the largest (and least competitive) of any top school.

I really can’t be any more specific. It’s honestly not that hard to transfer. Get a 4.0 at the state school and you’ll probably be accepted as a transfer. Maybe get a leadership position in a club or do some research w/ a prof in your field (great for a recommendation too!). Write an essay about your maturation process. I imagine the transferring admissions isn’t so random and stupid as the regular one.
