Fall 2016 Transfer Thread - Cornell University

@keurimja I called 607 255 4833.

Has anyone who’s been accepted been able to see FA online or do we have to wait until we get their welcome package?

Congrats @Sydneyshaw! Did you get an email?

@Sydneyshaw congrats!! would you mind posting your stats?

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE.
and the FA doesnt really come until wednesdays. I’m still waiting for mine lol

@anonymous55 Thanks. So I see that you called CAS directly instead of admissions, if I’m not mistaken

I was told the Office of Financial Aid doesn’t start processing your FA until the office has been notified of your acceptance, then it will take 1-2 weeks before we receive our financial aid package.

@Luluoo Hey, I was just wondering, are you a junior transfer as well?

@WhatCarlton Thanks! yes I did.

@transferboypls
3.7 high school gpa bunch of decent ECs, applied as a freshman to dyson - rejected, I think it were the SATs, where I did not do so well.
3.7 GPA freshman year with quite challenging classes, 2 great recommendations, a strong common app essay, ~ok cornell specific essay, strong ECs, same SATs

For transfer, I can tell you now with confidence - it is not the SATs that are gonna get you in, but I think what worked for me were really great recs and a strong personal essay. In the end, SATs are supposed to measure how well one will do in college - I did not do that well on SATs but did well in college lol.

Also sorry for my bit odd writing, I am still in complete shock and am barely capable of typing.

Congrats to everyone who got in!!

Among those who were admitted to CAS, is anyone a junior transfer?

@keurimja i’m a CAS junior transfer and they said they haven’t even looked at my application yet :’(

@keurimja Yeah, I called CAS directly. And I’m a rising junior.

@meowrp @anonymous55 Yeah this sucks because I have to respond to an admissions offer from another school soon… I’d hate to have to turn down cornell’s offer prematurely if I do get admitted

Accepted to CAS this morning!

ACCEPTED TO AEM!! i know everyone says it but i literally never thought this would happen :slight_smile:

Congrats everyone!

Please tell me there are other AEM applicants who havent gotten their decisions yet!

Congratulations to all those who have been accepted! :smiley:
To those who have been rejected, it isn’t the end and there is always a next time! Chin up and keep on doing what you all need to do!

Wasn’t this supposedly the last week for decisions? Still nothing for me.

damn i wish you guys luck. it’s tough that some of you guys still idn’t get your decisions yet :confused: good luck all!

Did anyone from engineering get accepted today?
