Title: Re: In the introductory passage to this chapter, the author discusses the initial ju Post by: duddy on Nov 9, 2012 Several options include appealing to the president of the university, hiring an attorney, asking for special probationary admission, and enrolling at another university for a year and then transferring to Cornell. The chances of successfully being admitted are slim, however, because the admissions office is an impersonal machine that does not deal with personal needs as much as with university rules. It focuses on meeting the needs of the university, not the individual.
