DP. Cornell gives transfer offers to the wait list applicants it would be interested in seeing as sophomores. Cornell is more transfer student friendly than other Ivies. Transfer offer policies vary by college within Cornell.

This is also relatively rare from what I can tell.

If you’re sitting from the vantage point as a random parent in the DMV, then perhaps this is rare. But if you’re a student at Cornell, it’s not rare at all. You’d know many transfer students.

As PP noted, the transfer option is offered differently depending on the school within Cornell. CALS offers over 100 right on Ivy Day while COE offers none. Others such as Dyson and Nolan offer to some waitlisted students at the end of June.

This past fall, Cornell welcomed 639 transfer students. Not all were TO students, but the overwhelming majority were. https://irp.cornell.edu/university-factbook/undergraduate-admissions/fall-transfer-admissions
