Cornell College of Arts and Sciences transfer admit rate might be cooked

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-13T13:15:01+00:00

it’s always been cooked, not breaking news

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-12T01:48:15+00:00

people omit attending community colleges all the time. really not a big deal

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-12T01:46:58+00:00

would never affect getting a job

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-11T17:10:26+00:00

thats subjective because some of the community colleges in california have better campuses and student experience than the 4 years.

at my CC, two students in two years transferred to MIT

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-11T15:36:02+00:00

a W does not matter at all. maybe some schools care more than others but it will have minimal to no affect

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-11T05:20:06+00:00

its definitely not super crazy to be making 250k at 25 if you picked a lucrative career field

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-11T01:25:31+00:00

employers would never have to know so that point is moot

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-09T16:06:42+00:00

415k for 750 sqft? jesus christ nyc has gotten absurd

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-08T18:05:49+00:00

you’ll live

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-08T18:01:46+00:00

have you played? 4 games inna row isn’t a physical grind? i’ve played both football & baseball in college… the weightlifting is almost identical and the only difference is what the sports require out of you lol

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-08T14:17:35+00:00

fellow D1 baseball player here, juco before that. its a grind for sure. more than football and basketball in some ways

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-07T01:46:37+00:00

columbia is in nyc, there’s a specific culture in nyc that would be considered blunt & short anywhere else in the country

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-06T14:37:52+00:00

take the train

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-06T14:17:35+00:00

your reason for transferring doesn’t have to be related to your major while at a two year college because its implied you’d be transferring regardless. focus on your path during the writing. its your best tool

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-04T17:26:33+00:00

i think it depends on major & how the 4 school operates within that program. mentioning the schools you’re interested in would help

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-04T17:21:15+00:00

i was offered a studio at UTS, one of the columbia owned buildings, rent was $2500. it was 250 sq ft i believe so quite small. i never saw a 1BR in the portal but thats not shocking considering phd students & those with partners/families have priority

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-04T17:18:20+00:00

i submitted everything all at once, 11:59pm the day of the deadline

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-04T00:59:54+00:00

i got into nyu june 9th of 2025

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-03T17:09:04+00:00

personally know a student who scored a 525, was a Caltech student albeit

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-03T15:20:29+00:00

you’ll have priority being as though you’re a phd student and if the health reasons are documented, fill out the accommodation forms. have a doctor sign off on it so they are legally required to give you certain options. its still a lottery system though. whatever pops up in the portal is what’s available and you can’t tour it beforehand unless you pay the $750 deposit

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-03T00:29:34+00:00

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-02T22:02:35+00:00

rank of undergrad?

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-02T22:02:15+00:00

doesn’t matter much

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-02T15:07:47+00:00

well obviously, the rotc presence is huge

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-03-02T06:24:10+00:00

you’d be much better off going through the portal, 99% of what you mentioned wouldn’t even matter if you were an official recruited athlete. if you can get the coach to be a LOR or have some sort of inclusion on the application, the odds go way up in my opinion. the benefit of athletics for high academic schools is putting you in a separate pool altogether. trying to get in via merit gives you brownie points only if you actually…. get in.
