<p>Received an email saying they are going to waitlist.</p>
<p>@zhd9307 i received one saying they couldnt go to the waitlist for any engineering major </p>
<p>Oh yes, sorry mistake</p>
<p>Hello, I know this is slightly off topic, but I was hoping you guys could give me some advice regarding the transfer process into Cornell. I was originally offered admission to be a freshman at Cornell this fall, but I had to turn it down. I am now enrolled at Tufts. The situation has changed, however, and I would be able to attend Cornell. </p>
<p>I guess what I’m asking is do you think I have a good chance as a transfer applicant for Fall 2015 if I was previously offered admission?</p>
Did you end up being accepted?
