Successful Non GT Transfers

Yeah, transferring can be tough (unless you’re at a CC like me and pretty much just want out…). My friend has a GT to ILR for next Fall and he’s currently at Siena. He likes it there to a certain extent, even though in the beginning he really wanted to go to Cornell and kind of just “settled” for Siena.

Now he’s met a bunch of new people, and I think his biggest fear is “starting over” with new friends and worrying he might not fit in with the “type” of people that go to Cornell (could I use anymore quotes in one response? :P)

If you knew this kid you’d know there’s no way he’d have any trouble fitting in or making new friends. Not to mention, it’s CORNELL! It’s extremely diverse and there’s people/places/clubs/classes and everything for anyone.

Plus, if you’re a transfer to any of the seven schools, there are at least four dorm halls (correct me if I’m wrong) that are ONLY transfer kids. So everyone living with you and meeting you is going through the same new phase/process. I definitely plan on trying to get into one of those dorms if I go.
