Fall 2016 Transfer Thread - Cornell University

@Atuin Damn. My final grades won’t be available for another 2.5 weeks. Who did you talk to that told you that? I’ll probably call tomorrow.

Waitlisted but I’m not sure about how Cornell process works. Apparently final decisions could take until July to be made.

Ok I really want to transfer to a university that has more opportunities for me to grow as a person and contribute to research/programs… Really get myself out there and make a difference.

My stats

Finished 3rd in my HS graduating class: 4.4 GPA

In college I just finished my second year… Im pre-bio right now. I have a 3.2 overall GPA… Turns out I’m not as good in science classes

(Continued from above)
I don’t think I’d get into Cornell because my science academic performance is weak (idk if it’s me or the poor faculty performance)… Should I pick a different major and transfer with that but take the necessary prerequisites for med school at Cornell?

Also!!!.. I’m really horrible at standardized tests… So my SAT scores were not so great

@Vvvgzz Bro if you cant do well (in sciences) at ur current school, youre not gonna stand a chance at Cornell. Also, they need to know that youre pre med, so you can’t hide ur science grades

I was accepted into CAS on June 1st as an economics major.

I will be attending JHU, so hopefully that frees up a spot on the waitlist.

STATS:
HS GPA: 3.6 uw/ 4.3 w
SAT: 2290
SAT II (History/Chinese/Math IIC): 790/800/790
ACT: 35

College when I applied: 3.9
Current Institution: Northeast T-40 Liberal Arts College in NY
Ethnicity: Asian (Applied for Financial Aid)

I was rather surprised that I was accepted. I got into some serious trouble in high school but I guess transferring in as a junior helped me a bit.

Just got off the phone with College of engineering admissions. They said all decisions have been made and will be released tomorrow.

good luck tomorrow, everyone!

@ECEhopeful253 Still nothing for me. Did they specify when they would notify us of the decisions?

They sent me an email at 10am. Unfortunately, I was not accepted.

Welp, rejected from engineering. Oh well.

Hey guys i was “waitlisted” and still haven’t heard back. What are the chances at this point? anyone else in similar situation? I applied to CALS btw

Is there a thread for Fall 2017 transfer applicants applying to Cornell?

Major: Business Administration
Current College/University: CCC
GPA: 4.00
College ECs: Internship with school’s accounting dept. Honors Program. Trilingual. Limited ECs unfortunately.
Highschool ECs: Band Chess Club President etcetc (I have more)
I will completed 64 semesters by this spring in three semesters+summer school. I took 19-20 units every semester so I didnt have time for ECs and wouldnt know what to do actually.
SAT Scores: 1900.

I know I have very poor SAT scores. Would it be too late to retake it? :frowning:

Chance me maybe? :o
