Cornell University (2024-2025)

[cinder ice]

rejection xD

[modest vector]

If fin aid is significantly better

[tame sandal]

Oh they didnt tell yg yet???

Goddamn theyre procrastinating so hard.

[modest vector]

the big nasty bill just passed and I’m super stressed abt loans rn

[tame sandal]

Wl without ur aid offer is lowk annoting asf

[modest vector]

Yea I don’t think they give us fin aid offers unless we’re off the waitlist

I think CMU does that

[tame sandal]

heinous

Ya its usually good but that bill mightve cooked it

[modest vector]

Fr

I’m just gonna hope the 🍊 dies this year and democrats retake congress by the time I’m heading off to health school

[last plume]

i got extended

[modest vector]

Same

[last plume]

i want transfer option rather then to get in tbh

i wanna try out my commited school

[modest vector]

Lowkey same

I’m so committed to ucla rn

[bronze egret]

Stay committed

I can’t rly speak for AO’s but they’re only taking kids off if visas don’t work out

Assume they won’t take kids and it’ll be pleasant surprise if they do

(I would guess that if they don’t take u off, good chance at TO, but idk they’re weird)

[tame sandal]

Also keep in mind like theres SO MUCH to catch up on

Like ud struggle to book flights, hotels for move in

[bronze egret]

Like it’s gonna be a HARD switch

[modest vector]

Which I hope doesn’t happen bc they deserve Cornell so much

[modest vector]

I’d take TO ngl

[prisma isle]

what does TO look like?

[tame sandal]

You have to last minute plan your schedule, struggle to sort out housing/swaps if u want to

Send ur vaccine and health forms + aps + official score sends + id photo

[tame sandal]

I think ur given a list of guidelines or equivalencies and u follow track for ur major and then reapply if u want it

Not every college works for TO

college as in like uni u transfer from

The ones ive seen are tufts, any suny, cmu

Def many more but off the top of my head

Uiuc

[modest vector]

Is there a reason why?

[tame sandal]

Course equivalency

[bronze egret]

Gotta take the right classes

[tame sandal]

Cornell is picky with credit

Has to have the right content/syllabus

[bronze egret]

GT and PSU are popular too

A bunch work tho

[tame sandal]

Yeah theres like

Def more than we’re saying

So like ur college is more likely than not to be taken

[modest vector]

I see

[bronze egret]

You also have to keep up grades

[tame sandal]

But know some arent

[bronze egret]

Not high benchmark

But like 3.0/3.5

[tame sandal]

Lol transfers no longer exempt from pe and swim test

😇

Fairness

[bronze egret]

Finally

[tame sandal]

Bro when i ask ppl if theyve taken pe yet and theyre like no i dont have to

😠😠😠

Also dw abt finding a place or blending in if you accept and comr as TO

no one knows

[modest vector]

I saw someone transfer from Davis and they said converting the credit from quarter to semester was a nightmare

[tame sandal]

No one cares

It may take a bit more being out there to find ur ppl but like

No one knows ur to

And no one judges for it

[tame sandal]

Makes sense

Many many ppl just go suny bing

Id argue its one of the most common TO colleges

[bronze egret]

Cheap and transfers well

[bronze egret]

Yeah that sounds horrific

Quarter system is dumb

[modest vector]

Idk I think I’ll like it

[tame sandal]

Does ucla have it too?

[modest vector]

Yeah every uc except cal

[tame sandal]

oh

[valid dagger]

until you’re in a dorm with no AC during june

[surreal scarab]

a little late to the convo but for Cornell TO they recommended def reaching out to some cornell admin people to ask if the courses fit what they want for thr TO

like dont be afraid to email everyone and their mama to find out what you need because the worst case is you take a bunch of classes you dont even need tbh

[tame sandal]

^^ so true

Especially for the offers that admit you directly to your major

Bc if u want to change its monumentally harder if youre alrdy behind

[surreal scarab]

one of the reasons i didnt pick the cornell TO because i knew i wanted to change my major later on and i knew i would already be behind

[tame sandal]

Ur not truly behind until jr yr unless u wanted to switch colleges too

But yeah the stress or unsureness of being in the wrong program is frustrating

[surreal scarab]

yeah i would have wanted to switch colleges D:

[errant mantle]

omg SLAYYY 😍

[uncut sundial]

Yeah that was surprising

I got two calls while I was doing important training at work today- did not expect it be for tornados

[lone jasper]

Is this a good thing

I thought they sent that to everyone 😭

I was like dpmo how u gonna call the email “waitlist update” and then the update is that there is none…

[tame sandal]

Yea

Probably

Its probably the ppl they were modt likely to TO and/or accept and theyre holding out a bit longer for intl visa info

[lone jasper]

Should i send another loci i already sent 2 like…

[tame sandal]

Didnt they ask for more supplemental info

[lone jasper]

Well they said

Greetings from Cornell University! As you know, this is an unusual year in higher education, and as such, our waitlist will remain open throughout the summer. You may continue to submit updated materials for consideration through your Applicant Portal. If you would like to leave the waitlist at this time, log in to your Applicant Portal and withdraw your application.

[tame sandal]

Throughout the summer

Bro @ everyone who still waitlisted ong dont stay on after july 21

Like ur so cooked for fall

[tame sandal]

Would u pick cornell over where ur currently committed? Or would u prefer stay/TO

If u have things to update, do a loci

Send ur final transcript

[lone jasper]

Idek im committed to usc

TO might be better atp

[lone jasper]

Well i didnt rlly the other 2 times i sent loci’s either i just bullshitted

[lone jasper]

Oh yeah thats a thing

I got a 81 and 85 tho 💔

[urban ivy]

goodbye cornell 😕

[modest vector]

No some people got rejected outright

So it must mean something?

[tame sandal]

cuz july 21 is course enrollment

everything will be full and ull be left with the bad sections or times or courses

[modest vector]

I’m sure they’ll release prior to that

I hope

[tame sandal]

i assumed that until i read "throughout summer"

like that feels like theyre gonna string yall on until they know for sure in like august which intls cant come

[modest vector]

They’re gonna make us sleep on floor mattresses

[tame sandal]

i think theyd just 1:1 replace u into their room

oh also room swap closes on july 21

so u cant swap or anything

j trapped

😂

[modest vector]

HELP

They better decide quick

It has to be criminal to string us along this long

[last plume]

yeah I havent sent in my final transcript either bc I had all As and then got like same as this my final semester so im scared to send it 😭

idk if I should

[tame sandal]

If u dont they might assume its worse

And theyre gonna see it anyways when u commit.

[modest vector]

I can’t even send my final transcript bc my school email was deactivated

[tame sandal]

Ur advisor/counselor is supposed to send it

U just contact ur school

[tropic vector]

Didn't Cornell used to have quintuples?

[tame sandal]

?

It was study lounge conversion and they were super temporary

This yr they converted those same lounges to hextuples

And didnt say irs temporary

[tropic vector]

Hextuples is crazyy 😭

[severe timber]

Ok I feel like it’s not that bad cuz I completely missed preneroll freshmen fall and I still got all the classes I wanted at the perfect time slots during add drop

[plain bloom]

I don't think I'm getting off but I Would rather have a TO at this point.

[mortal sable]

It wasn’t hot

Coming from someone who lives in sf

[tame sandal]

probably depends on major

like phys 1110 filled my freshman fall 😭

on july 21

within 30 min

and thats such a basic requirement

also u get so slim pickings of FWS

[dusky ice]

Yeah someone I know got into Cornell ED, but he said the cc courses we were taking wouldn’t count for credit

[tame sandal]

we dont accept dual enrollment if its on ur hs transcript or taken on a highschool campus

🤡

[crude creek]

i wouldnt expect anything atp ngl

[crude creek]

for what? transfer?

u dont need to transfer from ucla

[tame sandal]

Ppl get off wls in august, not often and idk abt cotnell but its possible to need to wait that long

[modest vector]

Yea it’s been radio silent. I think they rejected a ton of ppl 3 weeks ago

[modest vector]

Yea I’m not expecting anything either but the way they worded it made it sound like theres still spots

💀

[modest vector]

For co26. I’m not transferring bc I refuse to go thru application hell again 😫

[crude creek]

ah ic

[modest vector]

Doesn’t Cornell start in August tho? I can’t imagine scrambling to get registered for classes and housing weeks before moving in

[tame sandal]

🤷‍♀️

[molten steeple]
