I’ll just second what has already been said. GT/January Admit has been a fairly established program at Cornell so from an administrative standpoint theres no issue. Obviously, as there is with any transfer, your son would have to adjust between where they went to school and Cornell once they get here but thats usually not a problem because there are tons of opportunities around campus to get to know people/make friends/etc. Its not hard to join stuff like Greek Life or sports as sophmores. If Cornell is what your son really wants, I have no doubt he will make it work and enjoy his 3 years here.

And about housing, Cornell does a good job with sophomore on-campus housing for those that don’t go off-campus or go into Greek Life as a freshmen. West Campus is probably one of the best college “house system” in the country and its meant for sophomores so I believe your son would also be eligible for that.
