Cornell (SUNY Ithaca) (2022-2023)

[drowsy glen]

10 not 16 sorry

[old agate]

That’s crazy wtf

I wonder why they extended by so much

[plain chasm]

it’s their supplemental materials deadline

[vernal raven]

they probably wont start reviewing applications until then

theyll focus on filling stuff for a while i think

[viral crest]

did they email you asking for it?

[limpid ocean]

nope

i saw a form tho

[tiny cobalt]

Yea u have to do it

There would be a form and also the cornell portal is very slow

https://engage.admissions.cornell.edu/register/english_language_proficiency

[quiet current]

so is that what i'll see after i submit my regular app before the 16th? then i'll see that deadline for the writing supplements?

[plain chasm]

yup

[pearl siren]

so there's some time for cornell's deadline but I've already applied and I applied with a waived application fee and the college has downloaded the supplements and the main form. If I want to go back and pay the application fees, will it reflect in the forms they downloaded?

[thick abyss]

Why do you want to go back and pay?

[pearl siren]

A complicated situation lol

[thick abyss]

I don’t believe it would impact the forms no, and idk if you can go back and pay

You definitely should email your local rep/AO’s imo

[pearl siren]

I can still pay, but it wouldn't make sense if it doesnt reflect on the forms since schools usually assume that using a fee waiver would mean applying for fin aid which isnt the case here so I wanted to reverse that

[pearl siren]

ahh

[thick abyss]

Yeah no you can’t reverse that “perception”

They’ll just look at financial statements and see that you don’t need aid

And they’ll see the reason why you had the waiver

[pearl siren]

Ahh I see

[round venture]

I just sent my LOCI

To my boy Felton

[tough pebble]

nice 😎

[round venture]

Do they usually respond back?

[tough pebble]

in the form of a decision yeah

but you aren’t gonna get like a response letter to your LOCI

[hexed snow]

wait not all people who got deferred send loci?

[tough pebble]

not everyone is legitimately still interested after being deferred

albeit a small amount of ppl hahah

[hexed snow]

ohh i thought everyone sends it just in case 😂😂 lmao

[round venture]

He send me a respond back

he's pretty chill

Better give me my acceptance later on

[thick abyss]

To the loci?

[round venture]

yes

[thick abyss]

Lmao what did they say

[hexed snow]

woah didnt expect that

[round venture]

I'm from Ithaca, maybe there's a slight preference?

[thick abyss]

You’re from ITHACA???

Brooo

[round venture]

yea

[thick abyss]

I thought like no one lived there

[round venture]

lol

I mention about going to Cornell to study while being a high schooler

[thick abyss]

Dude def gonna help you

They love local kids

[round venture]

Trust lol, every kids in my class who apply got in

But they have parents

[thick abyss]

no fair 😭

[round venture]

daddys

my bio classmate's dad is like the director of biology in CALS

[thick abyss]

Is ur school like a feeder kinda?

[round venture]

no

its public school

[thick abyss]

We r like that for northwestern a bit

Public school here to

[hexed snow]

could u tell m which school u applied to?

i applied to humec

[round venture]

CALS

[thick abyss]

But we r right by northwestern and have 30 kids go a year

[round venture]

We have like 45+ go to cornell per year

[thick abyss]

45????

Holy shit

[round venture]

out of 120 applicants.

[thick abyss]

WHATTTT

ours is 30/1000 nvm

That’s 33%

Dude that is 100% a public feeder lmao

[round venture]

dude

its not public feeder lol

they have parents who works there

[thick abyss]

I use the term unofficially

[leaden scaffold]

mine had zero

[thick abyss]

33% is INSANE

45 kids all have connections?

[round venture]

Almost everyone have connections

except me 🙂

One most crazy shit I heard is that my friend's dad used to be undergrad director of cornell lol

[leaden scaffold]

get connections lin cmon

[thick abyss]

I feel like you do

[drowsy glen]

networking my guy omg

[round venture]

I did. I was invited to the Bio lab

[thick abyss]

Lemme explain

Not in a “legacy way”

[round venture]

I'm first gen

[thick abyss]

But being that close to school and knowing sm people at school HAS to help

And ur first gen which could help

U have a rly solid shot

[round venture]

deferred

[tawny prism]

who else still writing their supp

[thick abyss]

Deffered isn’t horrible

[tawny prism]

mine needs heavy editing bro im so sick of this!!! cornell just accept me now 😒

[thick abyss]

What major 👁️

If not business I can edit later

[tawny prism]

psych ofc… sexiest major

[thick abyss]

😌

[tawny prism]

omg fr fr? 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

[thick abyss]

Fr fr

[round venture]

There's NPCs who gets into cornell in my school

[tawny prism]

yayyyy tysm!! i’ll send in a few :))

[round venture]

that tells you the power of legacy

[thick abyss]

NPC’s?

legacy only matters if they’re active donors which they could very well be

[round venture]

Well they have both Legacy + Parents working there

Real Professors

[thick abyss]

Ah

R u loving any places besides connectionland cornell

[round venture]

Cornell def have a good dining hall

18$ entry fee

All you can eat

[thick abyss]

☠️ I meant any schools

[round venture]

oh

[thick abyss]

I hate buffets tbh

[round venture]

NYU

They have really good buffets

[leaden scaffold]

Yale has good dining options

[leaden scaffold]

so just go to Yale worst case scenario yknow

[round venture]

I've studied here for my psychology exam lol

Not that special

I was on the left, this girl's seat

[thick abyss]

The fact that you can say you’ve visited campus and just studied at it for an exam omg

[round venture]

I can go right now lol

they have good parking space

[thick abyss]

So jealous

Live it up for us when we get in man

[round venture]

lol

sure man

let me show you some interesting pictures i've gotten

taken*

This is at Cornell CALS

outside of dairy bar

There's a big deer and a baby deer

This is inside of olin library

[thick abyss]

God it’s beautiful

Have you been inside the business school

[round venture]

Yes

I've been to everywhere I think, except for industrial

[thick abyss]

Plz Nolan/hospitality pics

[round venture]

Oh I've been in there

Uh, I don't have any pics on me rn

[thick abyss]

Booo

Dw

[round venture]

Cornell is honestly a pretty chill place to be at

I really hope I can get in

oh there's also a Starbucks shop INSIDE of olin library lol

That black coffee did help me pushed to 12 am

[hexed snow]

did the ao who respond u back say anything special bout it?

[limber harbor]

https://tenor.com/view/og-gif-21212693

this is literally a safety school

wait thats columbia

same shit diff color

[wind nimbus]

wut site is that

[limber harbor]

naviance

[topaz aurora]

when does it become "too late" to send an loci

i have it done but im waiting on my counsellor to read it over bc she told me to send it to her when i finished

tomorrow should be ok right?

[thick abyss]

When it’s almost positive that they’ve made a decision

So probably march or April

[tame belfry]

The cornell RD extension is until the 16th right?

why does my commomapp show "feb 10th"

🤔

[drowsy glen]

thats for the supplement

the application itself is jan 16

the supplemental essays are feb 10

[coral vessel]

get ur common app in by the 16th

oh nvm its been answered

[limber granite]

wait cornell supps are due on feb 10th?

[coral vessel]

Yes

[plain chasm]

i would still submit by jan 16

everything everything

because that’s when they likely start review

[vernal raven]

I doubt it

If theyre accepting supp essays and letters and stuff until feb 16th theres no way they review for a whole month without that stuff

[limber harbor]

people past jan 16 are low priority

there isn't enough time to review all

so they'll 100% read the ones b4 jan 16 more fully

[toxic stream]

mfw i link the CBC to subak irrigation

[plain chasm]

I would think the same, how are they going to read all of the materials past feb 10

that gives them like 2-3 weeks to finalize the pool

[vernal raven]

I doubt that many ppl haven’t submitted yet

[plain chasm]

most people have submitted at least the application

they filter by academics first so they can at least do a run of first reviews

[leaden scaffold]

yea it’s very unlikely they are going to wait until mid february before they start even looking at apps

[limpid ocean]

Ye big point

[topaz aurora]

where do i upload my loci

is it under “optional supplemental materials”

not “waitlist correspondence” right

[leaden scaffold]

Yeah optional supp

[hexed snow]

wait there is a button called "waitlist correspondence"?? i don't see one in my portal (i also got deferred and planning to send a loci soon)

i only see a space where i can submit "optional supp materials"\

[topaz aurora]

in the supp upload place theres a drop down and "waitlist correspondence" is an option

i uploaded it under optional supp tho since its not really a waitlist its a defer

[hallow sierra]

probably after mid feb

i think they said to send by mid feb

[hexed snow]

ohh gotcha thx

[toxic stream]

CORNELLIANSSSS

i have several questions

do i put this for IGCSE spanish (exam was taken at end of 10th but i never took the class cause it wasn't a thing at my school)

Y/N?

[wind nimbus]

if u ask me might as well

but im not an ao

[toxic stream]

will do then

[thick abyss]

Fav school

Accept me

Plz

[toxic stream]

💃

[limpid ocean]

lol just put it

cuz u did it lol

[limpid ocean]

same

for now

unless some slightly lower ranked schools give me a good scholarship 🥲

[thick abyss]

Legit same

[toxic stream]

I did

[wicked saddle]

my caaan interviewer's email was in spam bruh

i just saw it

after like a week

smh

[thick abyss]

Oh no

[glass raft]

just to confirm, if i applied for engineering i can't request an interview right?

[tame belfry]

To be safe the supplemental essay should also be submitted by 16th?

[wraith reef]

Then interviews aren’t evaluative so it doesn’t matter tooooo much

[wraith reef]

Hasnt the deadline already passed?

[tame belfry]

They extended it

On thé portal it shows Feb 10th

[wraith reef]

Oh ok

[tame belfry]

I submitted my app on 3rd

And got my portal already, haven’t submitted the supp

🥲

[glass raft]

yeah i figured that, but like i just wanted to make sure i'm not missing something or didn't see something

like i was wondering if any engineering applicants were able to request the interview

[thick abyss]

Submit it asap tbh

[tame belfry]

🫡

[limber granite]

time to start my supps 💪

[sweet gale]

real

[thick abyss]

You request one on common app

I don’t reckon you can on the portal

[drowsy glen]

its not an option for engineering iirc

this

[wicked saddle]

for caaan, do they ask u questions or is it a meeting for u to just ask them questions?

[hollow perch]

i see a request form on my portal

nvm i’m blind it’s cause i applied human ecology

although they don’t offer interviews so idk

[tame belfry]

For Cornell college of arts and sciences would it be pointless for me to upload a pdf or linked art portfolio?

On their website it says that they typically don’t view portfolios and stuff …

[wraith reef]

Typically I’d say if a college you are applying to tells you not to do something, don’t do it

But up to you ig

[tame belfry]

Yeah won’t submit if the explicitly says they don’t review

Won’t help

[inner cliff]

had my CAAAN 'interview' a couple days ago and dude was actually so cool

we talked for like two hours about Cornell, his experience there, and just random stuff lol

[thick abyss]

Two hours????

[inner cliff]

he graduated in the 70s so i was a little scared, but he was really fun to talk to

[inner cliff]

yeah💀

[wind nimbus]

had an hour 15 LOL

[quiet current]

i need to get an extension rip

[quiet current]

do we know if the supp deadline is a hard jan 16th deadline

cause my app is turned in and paid for except for my supplementals

[thick abyss]

It seems decently strong

They already extended it two weeks

[tame belfry]

idk

on commonapp it says 10th of February

[thick abyss]

Yeah true

But an entire month seems dramatic

[tame belfry]

idk why it says that

yeah

did anyone email cornell office?

[thick abyss]

They also never confirmed it which is so odd

I don’t think anyone here did

[tame belfry]

i wonder what they say

..

🤔

[quiet current]

well

my supps aren’t done

should i try and get them done tonight

[thick abyss]

Don’t get them done tonight if they’ll be trash

Maybe email?

But they said on blog to get it in by end of 16th

[tame belfry]

tahts the applicatoon?

not the supp?

iirc

[quiet current]

so if I request a formal extension I might be okay?

idk

[thick abyss]

Yeah you can

[quiet current]

I emailed them at 7 pm requesting an extension

no response yet

I’ll just try to get them done tomorrow and hope for the best

Unless I get a formal extension that goes further than that

[thick abyss]

Holiday weekend

[quiet current]

true

hope it’ll be okay

anyone know if receiving an extension makes your application look worse?

[tame belfry]

Lmak i haven’t submitted the supp yet

I have a concrete idea and I think I can get it on before tomorrows deadline

Today* now

No pain no gain lol

[wind nimbus]

sheesh

[tame belfry]

Lmao I have applied to too many schools (36) and is now numb to suffering 💀

[quiet current]

Isn't it due by January 16th? As in by 11:59 pm January 15th

I'm in the same boat as you though mine aren't submitted yet

[tame belfry]

11:59 on thé 16th i would aussi e

That’s how they do the deadlines

[quiet current]

"before and by January 16"

in the screenshot above

@tame belfry

If an application arrives to us before and by January 16, students do not need to contact us, and they will not need to request a formal extension.

[tame belfry]

Emm

Idk

Before means 15th 11:59

By means 11:59 on 16th

🤡

[quiet current]

hmm

i'll just take the full day tomorrow to finish it

if they don't want my application rip my $80

i have a good start on both essays now I just need to refine them and get them under word limit

[tame belfry]

Both?

Oo

[velvet gull]

engineering

[tame belfry]

I’m applying arts and science so I only have one

Icic

Yeah

Get in tomorrow

Bro

I thought I’ll be free after the 5th

Apparently not

[quiet current]

I was gonna get it done by 11:59 but you see my girlfriends parents weren't home

my priorities are mixed up

[tame belfry]

LMAOOO 😂😂😂

LOL I was gonna use my gfs lor for Dartmouth but decided not to last sec and just submitted it yesterday 💀

[quiet current]

who wants to go to college anyways

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tame belfry]

Lmao

I’m still on the streets 😇

[limpid ocean]

but that school needs to be at least kinda good

idk top 30 ish lol

[drowsy glen]

Application extension is jan 16
Supplement extension is feb 10

Someone needs to pin that lol

[lilac island]

i got rejected from purdue engineering but previously i was deferred by cornell coe wtf

[thick abyss]

Is it tho?

I still haven’t seen anyone confirm the 10th

[drowsy glen]

Bro on your common app

[thick abyss]

Yeah ik

But they had an entire blogpost abt the 16th

Idk a 1.5 month extension is crazy

[drowsy glen]

The 16th is for the APPLICATION

Not the essays

Thats the supplement

If you havent written them but you have submitted the app thats ahere you see feb 10 on commonapp

[thick abyss]

Ik but how could they possibly have one month turnaround time with people submitting supps that late

[drowsy glen]

Probably some screenshots here too but its been said a bunch

[thick abyss]

Could be true just crazy to me

[drowsy glen]

Idk bro like

Imo its dumb

[lilac island]

uhhh thats ridiculous

[drowsy glen]

But im not the one deciding lol

[thick abyss]

Yeah people have talked abt it

[plain coral]

They said they start reading early dev

Feb

[thick abyss]

That’s insane

[drowsy glen]

Yeah it worries me tbh

[thick abyss]

Why make kids submit a month early lmao

[plain coral]

I mean early Feb is normal

[thick abyss]

My presumption is that they’re going to do a lot more automatic screening

Unless this is usual

[plain coral]

Schools with ed2 usually wait until feb to start on rd

[drowsy glen]

Bc if they start reading in feb but you can submit within feb how much extra work will they get as they start

[thick abyss]

Cornell doesn’t have ed2

[plain coral]

Lots of people have likely submitted alrdy

[lilac island]

doesnt affect me as much since i was deferred right

[plain coral]

Ik but

Im saying

Its normal to start in feb and turnaround on time

In late march

[drowsy glen]

Yeah but there are also the peoppe who are like "oooooh what college deadline hasnt passed im gonna apply"

[thick abyss]

True

[lilac island]

i met a kid whose last name was cornell at munum lol

[drowsy glen]

At which point id guess theyre just gonna try for higher stat cutoffs or something but idk

[thick abyss]

That’s my guess

3.9, 1500 maybe

[drowsy glen]

Their acceptance rate is abt to go crazy

[plain coral]

I feel like theyre also gonna prioritize earlier submissions

[thick abyss]

This too

[lilac island]

uh, hopefully

[drowsy glen]

Hopefully yeah

[thick abyss]

That’s why I don’t think people should submit right around the 10th

[plain coral]

I submitted before the actual deadline cuz im sane

And now im like

I couldve worked on them

[drowsy glen]

Bro i submitted right before the extension

[plain coral]

For a whole other mothh

[thick abyss]

It’s so stupid

[drowsy glen]

Like the amt of sleep deprivation i had working on those essays

[thick abyss]

There has to be some priority for us

[drowsy glen]

Just to be told "theres an extension"

[wicked saddle]

personally, i just hope we get priority

[drowsy glen]

Ngl i was a tad bit tilted lol

[plain coral]

Ik intl has been havjng issues but they literally rewarded American procrastinators

[thick abyss]

My mom was v tilted

[thick abyss]

THANK YOU

[plain coral]

Some schools only extended for intl

Which makes so much more send

Sense*

[lilac island]

mit didnt

[thick abyss]

And cornell already extended until today

2 weeks was more than enough

[drowsy glen]

No like intl i get like give them a chance

[lilac island]

i mean, if they hav less chances i have more lol

[plain coral]

Bro the mit one made me mad

[drowsy glen]

But the sheer amount of "im just gonna apply to x" ive heard from the most ass students isnlike

Bro

Fuck you

[plain coral]

Fr

[wicked saddle]

idk

i feel like half those students have terrible stats

[thick abyss]

But the other half doesn’t

[wicked saddle]

i mean, why else would they wait so long

[thick abyss]

It’s a large enough group to make An impact

[drowsy glen]

I mean yeah but its not just stats

[thick abyss]

Even a small impact isn’t fair

[wicked saddle]

yeah true

[drowsy glen]

Incoming "...our admissions committee had to make a lot of difficult decisions..." "...we wanted to be fair in who we accepted but we had too few seats and too many qualified students..."

[thick abyss]

Acceptance rate going to be lower than Harvard

[wicked saddle]

From 6% to 0.5% 🎇 ✨ 💖

[drowsy glen]

Bro their YIELD

This is all to go up on usnews

"Thatll make people forget about the nets!" - some intern in the marketing department

[thick abyss]

Yup

[thick abyss]

But now they’ll be remembered for this thing

Only slightly better

[plain chasm]

i’m ngl i don’t mind the extension 💀

my app has been in since before the deadline but i don’t feel like writing essays

did i procrastinate it to tonight? yes

[tiny cobalt]

cornell literally extended their ed deadline by 2 weeks and the number of applicants didnt increase

so now they are banking hard on rd ig, since they now have 5 new dorms so they are admitting more ppl so they need more applicants to keep their AR down

[thick abyss]

Woah that’s why?

Where did u see the stuff abt the dorms

[tiny cobalt]

north campus expansion

2000+ beds

[thick abyss]

Danggg

Would that make acceptances go up?

Not percentage but how many students they accept

[tiny cobalt]

yea it will

[plain chasm]

oh fr

sheesh

so technically higher chance rd?

💀

[tiny cobalt]

assuming the same number of ppl apply in like ED

[limpid ocean]

fr?????

[tiny cobalt]

yea

[limpid ocean]

lesgo :))

hehe thank u for the great info comrade

u gave me my last dopamine of the day 🙂

[tame belfry]

So it would still be safe to submit supp in the next week?

Can someone send the link saying that they start looking at apps start of Feb?

Feeling sus

[drowsy glen]

Wait okok that actually makes sense

https://blogs.cornell.edu/admissions/2022/12/23/rd-2023/

Has this

Cant find a mention of the supplement deadline aside from the ca screenshots so idk

Would be better to submit early anyways tbf

[tame belfry]

This is for the application part rught

I already got the portal lmao

[tame belfry]

I remember someone mentioned that they begin reviewing stuff start of Feb

[drowsy glen]

Here yeah

[tired void]

just a heads-up, my portal says applicants will get their application checklists in early feb. i guess that's pretty much indicative of the time they'll actually start looking through our application materials

[tiny cobalt]

yea cornell checklist takes forever to even start appearing

[plain chasm]

early feb

so they don’t review until early feb?

[tame belfry]

Wow

Ok

I’ll still have to get the essay done today and polish it over the next week

And submit 🕯️

[tame belfry]

The MIT one also takes a long time lmao

[wicked saddle]

I’m not sure I would wait any longer to submit ngl

[tidal grove]

Should I have my address, phone number, and email on my resume?

[tame belfry]

I did that

[tidal grove]

obviously no pictures

[wicked saddle]

They might “start looking” in early feb but there’s certainly a cut off date

[tame belfry]

I mean if they don’t start viewing until early Feb

[tidal grove]

but I am kinda lost cause I cant find any guidance

[tame belfry]

Should be ok if I submit Wednesday or something 🤲

[tame belfry]

Emm

[wicked saddle]

I mean if you want to take that risk go for it

[tame belfry]

🤔

[thick abyss]

For resumes?

Cornell has a bunch of resources on their website

[wicked saddle]

I think I just had email and phone

[drowsy glen]

I had email, phone, and address

[drowsy glen]

But tbf i didnt know they had resume resources

[thick abyss]

https://scl.cornell.edu/get-involved/career-services/resumes-and-interview-prep/resumes

https://sha.cornell.edu/current-students/career-management/undergraduate/preparing-jobsearch/resumes/

[drowsy glen]

I just used a base one and modified it to be like "i want to study xyz, i have some notable classes, and here are more details on clubs"

But ngl w/frc id need to update again lol

[thick abyss]

Resumes should be focused on education (basic stats and relevant coursework), relevant extracurriculars/volunteer work, work experience and skills

That’s basically the gist

[drowsy glen]

I just realized some of the wording on my resume is dogshit

[thick abyss]

Lmaoooo

[plain coral]

My resume

Is

Idek how t9 describe it

I made it aesthetic

[thick abyss]

I wouldn’t say that the resume will break you

[plain coral]

I didnt submit to colleges

[thick abyss]

But it can definitely make your application stand out

[drowsy glen]

Ya thats where im like

Idk if its exactly standout worthy

[thick abyss]

For business it kinda has to be imo

[drowsy glen]

But it at least elaborates on some classes

[thick abyss]

Even if it’s just showing that you know how to properly present yourself

[thick abyss]

Did u quantify what you’ve done+showcase anything new

[drowsy glen]

But the elaboration sounds horrible like for one we're making a machine to basically compress and iron your clothing but more compact than an ironing board and iron so its convenient and i straight up neglected to say we were making an ALTERNATIVE thats meant to be better

[thick abyss]

Eh that doesn’t sound like a thing they’d catch onto

[drowsy glen]

Not really?? Idk it was more just elaborating on commonapp stuff bc of limit

I can censor it rq hold on

[thick abyss]

Yeah that’s kinda where standout resumes come in

You can’t just restate what you’ve said before

[drowsy glen]

I goofed then LOL

Hopefully it at least doesnt hurt

[thick abyss]

I don’t believe that they would expect kids to know the in-and-outs of resume building

It could probably only help you

[drowsy glen]

basically this

[thick abyss]

It’s 3 pages??????

[drowsy glen]

the most important part imo is the elaboration on the classes bc my schools descriptions are lowkey ass

third page is just bc elaborating on robotics

[thick abyss]

Still

Usually keep them to a page

[drowsy glen]

idk if thats bad??

fuck

ok

https://tenor.com/view/noooo-gif-23973681

[thick abyss]

The education and vex robotics are a bit lengthy

Rest is fine

[drowsy glen]

idk if i can update it tbh

but alas

[thick abyss]

Nah you’re fine

What major r u going for

[drowsy glen]

cs

• math minor

[thick abyss]

Yeah you should be good then

Business is where that would be more of a red flag

[drowsy glen]

thank god im not doing that then LMAO

why do you think itd be an issue for business though?

like outside of "oh it doesnt fit xyz rules/unwritten rules" ??

[thick abyss]

It shows that you don’t rly know how to make a resume (rly important for business)/didn’t research it

But again I’m not an expert an either

[drowsy glen]

okok

i mean fair

ty!

[thick abyss]

Lmao ofc

You’ve got this

[tiny cobalt]

lol mine was 3 pages

[thick abyss]

Dang rly? What major

Again, not claiming to be an expert here

[tiny cobalt]

cs tho so might be different

since dyson strongly recommend resume i think

[thick abyss]

my dad who reviews resumes for a living and my other friends who do business at Cornell kept it to one page so I was basing it off of that

[tiny cobalt]

so might be more important than cas

[thick abyss]

Yeah Dyson requires it

Cs at Cornell

Dayum

[tiny cobalt]

half of the ppl on the 2027 server is cs tho

[tiny cobalt]

yea i think for professional resume it should be short, but for admission purposes idk

since for hiring it is just one narrow field of interest u are showcasing vs admission which is like all of ur experiences

not an expert tho, just what i think

[thick abyss]

Lmao I still don’t get how

[thick abyss]

True but they have already seen most of ur experiences

[tiny cobalt]

i mean it is just sample bias tho

[thick abyss]

Cs feels so fake to me

Idk how so many people@are into it

[drowsy glen]

Computer solve problem interesting

[tiny cobalt]

idk cs is pretty easy to do if u dont know what u are doing ngl

compared to other stem majors

[thick abyss]

Rly?

Seems hard to me

I’ve always just viewed it as coding networks

[tiny cobalt]

there is alot of fields in cs tho

[drowsy glen]

Videos like this https://youtu.be/p8u_k2LIZyo imo would be a cool way to see how a seemingly time consuming task can be simplified for example

[thick abyss]

disgusting

Math and computers

[tiny cobalt]

yea but this kind of pointer magic is crazy

[drowsy glen]

Itsbso interesting though

Idk like

[tiny cobalt]

im not a system guy so dont know much about low level stuff, mostly i do algorithms

[drowsy glen]

The first time i saw it i was like "ok the bit manipulation makes sense" but then the dude said mantissa and i was like "huh"

[tiny cobalt]

but i mean the math is stil pretty fun

[drowsy glen]

But i few watches laters its just like

Woah someone really thought of that

[thick abyss]

Few watches??? This is already a 20 min video

[drowsy glen]

But like

Its engaging

Idk i didnt really notice how long it was lol

[tiny cobalt]

i mean u get obsess with problem solving so it is rewarding

for me i solve algo problem as a hobby so this kind of stuff is still fun to learn

[tame belfry]

Yeah it has to be a page

[tough pebble]

yea typically keep it to one page

[thick abyss]

👍🏻

[steep cliff]

Do you have proof besides CA, cause that would be a lifesaver

[drowsy glen]

havent found any

their blog mentions the 16th for fin aid but otherwise its just ca to my knowledge

[tame belfry]

🤲

[steep cliff]

I’m gonna email rn

Shit todays a national holiday they won’t respond

[tired void]

uhm am i doomed if i didn't submit a resume?

[tame belfry]

Dartmouth responded to me today lol

[tame belfry]

Idts

No resume is better than a trash resume

[tired void]

has anyone ever gotten in without a resume?

[tame belfry]

Or below average e

[tired void]

that's exactly what i thought lol

[tame belfry]

Cuz a lot of peoples resume are not good

According to some Stanford retired ao

…

[tired void]

hmmm well i thought i didn't really have anything that i hadn't already covered on my commonapp

[drowsy glen]

almost certainly bc its not even required

[tired void]

not anything substantial for a one page resume at least

[drowsy glen]

like i really doubt theyd be like "oh this application is stellar but no resume? L reject"

[tired void]

haha i hope so

[steep cliff]

Technically can’t you submit to Cornell on Feb 10 and say that CA allowed it?

[drowsy glen]

Yeah

But cant find an official "yes submit sup but feb 10"

[steep cliff]

I have a portfolio tho too

[drowsy glen]

Uh

[steep cliff]

For aap

[drowsy glen]

Search for that deadline bc its separate probably

[steep cliff]

Idk I’m lost tbh

[drowsy glen]

https://aap.cornell.edu/admissions/undergraduate/art

should be the page you need?

uh

[steep cliff]

Ik but is a supplemental so it technically falls on to Jan 16 deadline

[drowsy glen]

i mean

idk bc on the commonapp supplement just refers to the writing supplement

[solemn sleet]

I’m not sure if anyone else had to fill this form out, but do we need to upload it on IDOC after completing it or will completing it online and signing it be enough?

[drowsy glen]

but its a weird situation anyways so ??

[steep cliff]

Ikr the portfolio submission is up till march 15

[drowsy glen]

what site is this?

[solemn sleet]

Document Manager by Collegeboard (IDOC)

Institution 2098 is Cornell

[drowsy glen]

idk then D:

i havent dealt with that at all ngl

dk if i need to so? but hopefully someone else has

[solemn sleet]

Some colleges that I applied to wanted more information and wanted me to upload our tax return forms through this website

I received this email a few days ago asking me to fill out the form in the image I sent above

[open glen]

Are Cornell supps actually due 2/10

I submitted CA to Cornell yesterday

[tame belfry]

according to CA yes but no confirmation or signs from the admissions office...

[sweet gale]

https://admissions.cornell.edu/news/regular-decision-supplemental-materials-deadline

lol

[thick abyss]

Wtf

[wicked saddle]

L.O.L

[solemn sleet]

Supplemental materials deadline is now February 15 according to the link above

What a joke of a university this is

CornL

[drowsy glen]

Damn okok

Did they just release that or something lmao

[solemn sleet]

I’m not sure

[thick abyss]

My guess now is that they’re desperate for applicants

[quiet current]

"Supplemental materials" doesn't necessarily mean writing supplement

[thick abyss]

Which is crazy

[quiet current]

Let me open up my application

cause that was the impression I got

[thick abyss]

Yeah I’m getting that to mean like midterm reports

[drowsy glen]

Theyre prob admitting a higher number bc of this

[thick abyss]

But people will 100% misinterpret it

[quiet current]

Supplemental materials are not required application materials

required application materials as in writing supplements

so

[thick abyss]

So supplemental essay is due today

Sm people r not gonna get that

[quiet current]

technically last night at 11:59 pm

[drowsy glen]

No thats the feb deadline ??

[quiet current]

mine is not done yet though

[drowsy glen]

Man idek dont procrastinate and do your essays

[quiet current]

I got every other one done on time

[drowsy glen]

🌽 🇱

[thick abyss]

Scroll up a little

[quiet current]

I wasn't applying to cornell until the deadline was extended lol

[thick abyss]

Dis

Feb deadline is for stuff like midyear reports

Or loci

[drowsy glen]

Yeah but i thought that referred to stuff like midyear but not essays

Like

The essays had the feb thing hence the ca screenshots

But idk and i dont care that much tbh

[wicked saddle]

so does cornell have room for 2000 more freshmen or am i seeing it incorrectly

[thick abyss]

Well some has to go to transfer students

[drowsy glen]

Theyre adding 2k more beds so maybe not that many more freshmen but some increase i guess?

[quiet current]

pog

[wicked saddle]

ohhhh ok

[drowsy glen]

If its not bc of an anticipated number of increased acceptances then maybe theyre having housing issues but idk

[quiet current]

cornell got me applying with that 8% acceptance rate

i don't really wanna be in NY tho

[drowsy glen]

Fair

[thick abyss]

That’s high to you?

Cornell NY ain’t rly ny tho

[quiet current]

4% is pretty common

among these schools it's on the higher end

[drowsy glen]

Bro

Wait what major

[quiet current]

cs

[drowsy glen]

BRO

[thick abyss]

Uiuc, mich, Washington, case western, nyu all have higher

And the rest r just ivies lmao

[quiet current]

wrong, right, wrong, right, right

CS major

[drowsy glen]

You gotta have some safties but like

[quiet current]

super selective at uiuc and washington

[thick abyss]

No way Washington is that low

[quiet current]

UW is 2.5%

[drowsy glen]

Uw for cs is LOW

Same for uiuc w/ 6.7

[thick abyss]

Rly?

[quiet current]

yup

[thick abyss]

Dang I didn’t think either school was that good

[drowsy glen]

Major L if youre a cs major and didnt know that me

Like overall theyre fine in terms of ranking but theyre very good for cs

[thick abyss]

Fair fair

[quiet current]

would love to go to one of those because the atmosphere is normal college

[thick abyss]

NY is way better than Illinois or Washington tho

[drowsy glen]

If you just look at overall and think itll be like that for cs then you get a2c when purdue decisions were released

[quiet current]

i don't really wanna go to NYU i'm not entirely sure why i applied

[drowsy glen]

Did you not know what kind of campus you wanted initially?

Bc one of my irls said a similar thing after visiting like 1 school LOL

[wicked saddle]

Cornell's actually in a more forested area iirc

[thick abyss]

Me with Michigan

HATED campus

[wicked saddle]

surrounded by like 100 waterfalls

[thick abyss]

Still applied

[quiet current]

99/3887 admits for out of state

UW ^

[drowsy glen]

Wait damn i knew ithaca was rural but that much??

[quiet current]

2.55% lol

[thick abyss]

Very very rural

Lemme send pics

[drowsy glen]

Gonna be happy if im rejected fuck that

[thick abyss]

https://cornellbotanicgardens.org/explore/on-campus-natural-areas/

it’s beautiful

[drowsy glen]

I just thought it was like more spare suburbs LMAO

[thick abyss]

Right by Niagara Falls I believe

[wicked saddle]

yeah lol, i only remember that because i did research on the environment for the 650 worder before I realized: "This is not what I'm being asked about"

[drowsy glen]

Thats so nice omg

[quiet current]

bro where u seeing 650 words for cornell

[thick abyss]

Stuff like this

[drowsy glen]

Yeah

[quiet current]

unless you got different essays than i did

[wicked saddle]

the 650 word why cornell major essay

[thick abyss]

650 for business

[drowsy glen]

I applied coe

[wicked saddle]

I applied LAC

[quiet current]

ohh

[drowsy glen]

But i dont remember what i wrote ngl

[quiet current]

i have two 250 word essays lmfao

[drowsy glen]

Was a while ago LOL

[plucky sentinel]

yeah thats engineering i think

[quiet current]

yessir

[drowsy glen]

Eng was like

[wicked saddle]

lol i hated typing it ngl, my optimal range is like 400-500

[thick abyss]

I’m the opposite

[wicked saddle]

but i got it done and clean

[quiet current]

i loved harvard's no limit essay

[drowsy glen]

1 on problem solving or diversity you pick and 1 that maybe was a why cornell but i have no clue

[thick abyss]

My fav is 500-700

[tawny prism]

okay so im applying for psych in CAS but a lot of the research and profs i’m interested in are from the human development major (basically psych sister major) in the college of human ecology

do y’all think it’s bad if i mention a lot of that in my CAS supp

[thick abyss]

I think it’s bad only if it has a disproportionate impact

Like 1 is fine maybe two

But 3+ is too much

[drowsy glen]

Probably not? Like if you focus on the psychology side of that i think itd be fine if theres enough overlap

[drowsy glen]

OH YEAH

Shit i was so depressed when i was writing that LMAO

[quiet current]

i'm just trying to get my second one into 250 words

then rewrite the first one a bit

[drowsy glen]

But if they dont vibe with my diversity essay then Oh Well

[quiet current]

i mentioned like 8 classes that's probably a bit much

[solemn sleet]

ngl, the only reason I applied to cas instead of engineering school is because the cas application was shorter for me

[thick abyss]

What other stuff did u mention

Eight classes is a LOT

[drowsy glen]

Talk more abt why you like those 8 classes??

[solemn sleet]

8 is overkill

[quiet current]

i wrote a lot about a specific professor i want to work with

[solemn sleet]

do like 2-3

[drowsy glen]

Like if theyre all math then discuss the math instead of "i love algebra 2 :D"

[thick abyss]

8 classes also seems like you’re just stringing together their course catalog

[drowsy glen]

Wqit

[quiet current]

i didn't describe each one, but I wrote things like "I also look forwards to pursuing interests that aren't entirely related to the my intended career, such as CS _, _, and _"

[drowsy glen]

Are these courses at your school youre writing abt or cornell

[quiet current]

not exactly how i wrote it but

[thick abyss]

That’s fine sure

[drowsy glen]

I mean thats fair

[thick abyss]

Did u talk abt stuff besides just courses?

If so, you’re fine

[quiet current]

yuh

i mean it's not submitted yet

but yuh

I talked about how a specific professors research and courses relate to my interests and intended career

and how I hope to work with him in the field and all that

it's a WIP

[thick abyss]

What besides professors and classes

[quiet current]

lol

[thick abyss]

that’s where u can progress imo

You can probably take most of Cornell’s cs classes anywhere

[quiet current]

I began with my motivations for my interest in computer science, previous education, my frustration with a lack of a decent education in computer science, then talked about the professor and some of those classes

[thick abyss]

And meet similar professors

You need UNIQUE programs they offer

[tawny prism]

how do i know if a course is for grad or undergrad bruh

[quiet current]

then I ended with how my intended minor will play into this

[thick abyss]

Which course I gotchu

[quiet current]

pretty sure <4999 is undergrad

[thick abyss]

What abt some cs student groups

/teams

[quiet current]

mmmmmm true

[tawny prism]

“neural circuits for social behavior” it’s psych 4320

[thick abyss]

Or CSURP

[quiet current]

undergrad I'm p sure

[quiet current]

I mentioned CSURP

well I guess I didn't specifically namedrop it

but I discussed pursuing research with CS 4999 ( which is CSURP)

well no it isn't

it's more of an alternative

fuck me

[thick abyss]

It’s undergrad

[tawny prism]

ooo okay tysm

[thick abyss]

I’d do more of the program if you want for diversity in your essay

or mention both

Talk abt how this unique program aligns with ur unique goals and crap

[quiet current]

hmm ok

I'm at 252 words and I haven't gone in depth on CSURP

but I've referenced and expressed interest in both CS 4999 independent research as well as the program

[rare kettle]

Okay like

Did Cornell just not get enough applications?

This is a real cruel way to get their AR low--they're punishing all the people who submitted on time.

[mossy obsidian]

they might just auto reject ppl who submit late, who knows

for the application fees

too

[rare kettle]

That's brutal.

[tame belfry]

Ok so the supplemental essay is due today

🥵

[tawny prism]

is this confirmed

also did yalls 650 word supps have like a common theme throughout them.. cause mine is kinda just why cornell word vomit

[tame belfry]

Since the person above argued that the writing supplemental is not a supplemental material

It’s a required material

🥵

[tawny prism]

oh

[tame belfry]

Grind it out tonight then lmao

🤲

[wicked saddle]

kind of

i talk about what lead to my interests then why cornell fills that mold

[crimson vortex]

I used a story from my personal life to kinda string along all of my “why cornell” points

idk it was SUPER different than the rest of my essays

[rare kettle]

Mine was a lot of what I plan to do with math

[tawny prism]

hmmm interesting okay

[leaden scaffold]

me who just spat out why cornell 💀

[tawny prism]

idk this supp is gonna be kinda fucking poop ❤️

i kinda wont cornell tho…. oh well!

[thick abyss]

Cornell is being poop rn

[leaden scaffold]

relate it to your major, activities, and interests and i think that will be good

and genuine

[rare kettle]

So that was the overarching theme and I covered collaboration, extracurricular research, interdepartmental research, my goals as an undergraduate, and my peers.

[leaden scaffold]

PLEASE 💀

[rare kettle]

And something about how "it is said that calculus is the end of the beginning—the last bit of basic grammar needed to be considered literate in the language of math."

Because the whole time I was talking about standing at the cusp of computational and theoretical mathematics

[leaden scaffold]

mmm so you're clearly an english major

[rare kettle]

Yup that's me

Wuthering Heights is my favorite book

[leaden scaffold]

nerd

[rare kettle]

I really loved reading the description of the bitch pointer

Which is (obviously) a type of dog.

[thick abyss]

@rare kettle

What r ur thoughts on golden

Holden caulfield

[rare kettle]

Never heard of him

[thick abyss]

From catcher in the rye

[rare kettle]

Never heard of that either

💀

[thick abyss]

WHATTT

[wicked saddle]

cornell really acting a lot like SUNY Ithaca lately

[thick abyss]

it’s a classic English novel

[rare kettle]

Oh I don't read classical literature

I've read a few of the very typical classic romances, but that's it

I'm weird

[thick abyss]

Not even in school?

Holden is a bitch

That’s why I brought him up

[rare kettle]

The Great Gatsby is my favorite book so you'd think I get more exposure

[rare kettle]

Oh 😆

[rare kettle]

I mean... what do you consider classic literature?

We've read Anthem and To Kill a Mockingbird

[thick abyss]

Well like books English courses usually read

[rare kettle]

And All Quiet on the Western Front

[thick abyss]

Hamlet/Macbeth, catcher in the rye, the awakening, etc

Stuff like that

[rare kettle]

Never read any of those

I have Hamlet on my shelf but I'm yet to touch it thanks to my being consumed by math books

I liked Romeo and Juliet, ik that's basic though

1984 bored me greatly

My English teachers adamantly virtue signal by vowing to "read books not written by dead white men."

[thick abyss]

The odyssey, pride and prejudice, scarlet letter, tale of two cities, Frankenstein, black boy, grapes of wrath, house of mango street, and kite runner r some others

[thick abyss]

LUCKY

Only my lit teacher did that

[rare kettle]

Idk if it's so nice

I would love to read the classics

I want to read Pride and Prejudice

Just so I can snootily reference it

[tawny prism]

who wants to read this cornell CAS draft after i’m done

[rare kettle]

Sure

Not claiming to be a great writer though 🗿

[rare kettle]

I should also note that I'm applying as a mathematics major. I have (presumably) more interest in English than most math majors, and it's still minuscule at that.

[tawny prism]

have you already sent supp in smthn smthn plagiarism safety

[rare kettle]

Yeah I sent it in before the ACTUAL deadline

I can show you confirmation if you'd like

[tawny prism]

non procrastinator flex… okay i’ll send it over when i’m done tysm!!

[rare kettle]

No problem

[wind nimbus]

sure

[wind nimbus]

(if u want 2 opinions)

[rare kettle]

The latter of which will be better 😆

[wind nimbus]

shi only qualifications i hv is i did 24 sschools

only essay i couldnt write was uchicago

[rare kettle]

oh yeah i remember you

I HATED THAT ESSAY

[wind nimbus]

LMAO

[wind nimbus]

ye i gave up

[rare kettle]

oh you didn't do it? 😦

no like

i spent 3 weeks on that essay

when i only had a month left for college apps

not my smartest decision

all to get rejected

fun experience though

[quiet current]

"fun"

[wind nimbus]

they sent me on jan 4th

after the deadline

i hv until tomorrow

i hv no idea what to write

[rare kettle]

Do it! Do it!

wanna brainstorm?

what prompt

[wind nimbus]

im thinking of just like dumping sumn

[wind nimbus]

i think nobel prize

[rare kettle]

well i got closer with my english teacher thanks to it

[wind nimbus]

probs

[rare kettle]

what new category?

[wind nimbus]

damn

[wind nimbus]

um

great question

[rare kettle]

<1% acceptance rate

[wind nimbus]

id probs say maybe a continental award

[quiet current]

i'm already very close with my ap lang teacher from last year

coach for 4 years of cross country and track

[wind nimbus]

thats y idk if i want to

highly doubt im getting in

[quiet current]

and i'm varsity and captain

[wind nimbus]

my sat score is <25%

[rare kettle]

but won't you regret not trying!

[wind nimbus]

and i hv 1500

[wind nimbus]

ye thats tru

[rare kettle]

that's still good

[wind nimbus]

uchicago is pre elitist in my mind at least

[quiet current]

i wish colleges had unlimited seats

so it wasn't a game of who has won more awards or done more ECs

[wind nimbus]

then what wouldd make a college good

[quiet current]

unlimited seats for qualified students

[wind nimbus]

oh

i get that

[rare kettle]

for-profit online universities do?! hello? why not go there?

[quiet current]

like anyone in the high 30s or 1500s is capable of succeeding at any ivy or any t20 school

[wind nimbus]

not feasible but felt

[quiet current]

but it just doesn't work like that

the tragedy of modern education

[rare kettle]

at some point it's a game of chance

i honestly have stopped caring

[wind nimbus]

thats y i did 20+ schools

just need one from my t10

[quiet current]

once i have cornell app turned in i'll be relaxed

[wind nimbus]

hopefully cornell/brown

[rare kettle]

in the math department at my local state school (where i'm in the running for some pretty prestigious full-ride), a bunch of the graduates have been to T10 graduate schools

[thick abyss]

I’m praying ea stuff turns out well for me

[wind nimbus]

i submitted before the deadline lowkey pissed i couldve done more

[quiet current]

i have umich decision coming up soon. if i get in there i won't care as much about all these RD ivy decisions

[rare kettle]

tell me about it 😆

[wind nimbus]

wut state

[rare kettle]

no like

cornell would be so nice
