I am not a transfer, but I have seen how transfers integrate into Cornell. I recently pledged a sorority, and several of my new sisters are transfers. They are as integrated into Cornell as I am, I am just saddened that they will be leaving a year before I do! They went to other schools, and worked hard (and also made sure to meet the requirements for transfer - check with your individual school) and are now as happy at Cornell as if they had started there.

As dontno said, go to a state school and make the best of it. Have a positive attitude, save money, and look for opportunities to get involved in something you enjoy. Best of luck to you. By the way…I was deferred in the ED process and when I finally got my acceptance, it was a huge relief that caused me to appreciate Cornell even more. It almost seemed like I needed that shock. I am so happy to be here now and I put my best foot forward every day. I often wonder if I would have that same sense of appreciation and gratitude if I had been accepted ED.
