<p>I got rejected this morning from CAS, Computer Science BA
Solid EC’s,Solid Essay, and 3 Recommendation including one professor that currently teaches in Cornell and the other one is Cornell graduate.</p>
<p>As far as I know only students who applied to CHE, SHA or ILR got in from my college in the last 5 years.</p>
<p>Rejected as well guys. I was on my way home from school and checked my email on the train. I was sad for about 5 minutes, but I pulled myself together and thought optimistically. I guess it just wasn’t in the cards and I truly believe that where I end up going will be where I was destined to go. Hopefully everyone who got rejected will be positive as well. To the people who got accepted, congratulations! At least I won’t have to worry about this any more and can move on with my life. Probably will not be back on this thread, but maybe someday all of us will end up running into each other.</p>
<p>Hey guys, quick update. I was notified that I had been deferred to Fall 2014 admission consideration as I am ineligible for a Spring 2014 transfer (I’m a freshman). But after seeing the qualifications of other CAS applicants, I am not expecting an acceptance. I wish you all the very best; you have put a lot in your careers as students and should be very proud.</p>
<p>This thread, compared to any other thread on college confidential, highlights the strongest amount of unity and compassion I’ve ever come across on a forum. This is just a testament to the outstanding personalities and characteristics of those here. This may sound odd, but I will miss you guys! Good luck nostalgia, Maggie, and everyone else!</p>
<p>You guys, to be honest with you my heart broke to see all of you qualified and talented applicants rejected. I feel like, in a way, I was the cheerleader rooting for all of you. I’m very upset with Cornell’s decisions for all of you, but please believe that no matter where you end up, ALL OF YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL! Please keep faith in yourselves as you deal with this difficult outcome. For everyone that is still considering Cornell, go ahead and pursue it for Fall 2014. It will only show the admission officers your increased interest and commitment to being a Cornellian. I wish all of you the best in all of your future endeavors.</p>
<p>Ahmadmalik18: My status still shows that my midterm report and academic evaluation are missing. However, tomorrow I’m meeting with my evaluator to call Cornell and find out why the evaluation hasn’t been received yet. Thank you for your interest!</p>
<p>Popap15: You might not have achieved Cornell when you may have wanted, but you’re still in the running. Obviously, they like you enough to defer you, so congratulations and stay optimistic!</p>
<p>Popap15, would it be alright if you stated your academic credentials? Thanks!</p>
<p>I really appreciate your words emalo, JPAPAS and all of you. They are very touching. You all are excellent students with amazing personalities and it was such a great experience that we helped each other through the way. Best of luck with everything guys!!</p>
<p>Thanks Emalo and Chris! Your words mean a lot.
Popap, don’t worry about, like Chris said they deferred you and that means they do definitely like you.
I just wanted to say that if anyone wants to keep in contact for the possibility of cornell fall transfer, or simply just to keep in touch after this thread is over PM me and I will link my fb through message.</p>
<p>I was always trying to be positive but still its so sad that I figure it will take a while for me to pull myself together. :(</p>
<p>It’s alright, MaggieV! Only time will heal. Eventually, you’ll realize how much you DON’T need Cornell to be successful and you will be able to move on. However, please do not give up on your hopes, dreams, plans, and aspirations for yourself and future. If you truly must have Cornell, then apply again to prove to them your undying interest and why you belong there. I wish nothing but the best for you and everyone else on this thread. NEVER DOUBT YOUR ABILITIES, SUCCESS, AND FAILURE BECAUSE IT ALL COMPLIMENTS THE MAKINGS OF YOU AS A PERSON.</p>
<p>Couldn’t agree more with Chris and emalo’s words! For sure hang in there guys and I really cherish the time with you all on this thread :)</p>
<p>Thank you Chris! I appreciate it. Good luck for your application!!</p>
<p>Here are the transfer statistics for Fall 2011:</p>
<p><a href=“http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000156.pdf[/url]”>http://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000156.pdf</a></p>
<p>1,314 AS applicants, 99 accepted.</p>
<p>Thank you guys for your incredible support. I have been completely beside myself with the notice of deferral and the string of unbelievable rejections on this thread.</p>
<p>@Chris I’ll definitely post my academic credentials after I get the decision. I’d rather not have my hope for admission swayed in either direction and cause additional stress. I do believe I am competitive though.</p>
<p>Thank you and you’re welcome, MaggieV! I hope you’ve truly taken heed to what I have posted because it is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH, at least for you and everyone on this thread.</p>
<p>Popap15, I understand. I wish you the best of luck for the Fall 2014 cycle, or anywhere else you have decided to apply!</p>
<p>Thanks, ccuser66! Good luck!</p>
<p>Got rejected too guys. I am of the hope that we were rejected not because we were not good enough for Cornell, but because space was not enough at Cornell. Judging from the stream of condolences, inspiration,care and togetherness I saw and experienced on this thread, I do believe we lack in nothing a place like Cornell is looking for. Whether we end up being at Cornell at some point in our lives or not, remember it is not Cornell that will make us, Cornell was made by people like us! I therefore truly believe that wherever we end up, success will follow our footsteps. Today for most of us was unexpectedly sad, but we must be optimistic about tomorrow, because it was that mindset that guided us through life even long before we heard of Cornell, it should be that same mindset that we should employ to steer us into the future; a future with a promise of brightness for all of us. Let’s keep up with this attitude, and anywhere we find ourselves, we will rather make that place a great place, because I already see greatness in us! All the best guys.</p>
<p>Anyway I guess I have nothing to compare and decide with my Columbia acceptance after all. I thought I will be the one who will have to chose where to go, but it appears destiny already did the choosing for me. Will be going to Columbia in the spring. I definitely trust that I will be able to utilize the opportunity, just like I believe anyone of you is equally capable of making the best out of where he is right now or will find her/himself in the future. I Wish you guys all the best there is in this life and remember perseverance is the price one pays for success. Let us not give up!</p>
<p>Well said LeDonNYC. I wish you the best at Columbia!</p>
<p>Thanks Nostalgia14. Same to you.</p>
<p>LedonNYC, can I ask your stats?</p>
<p>Thank you Nostalgia for the PM;It truly made my night! I am thankful that i am starting on my essays so early, as it seems like those are highly regarded.</p>
