Cornell (SUNY Ithaca) (2022-2023)

[wooden atlas]

only him

think they gave him till like the 9th or something

[lapis barn]

ohh okay

[wooden atlas]

stanford's credentials department is super nice in general

like they're v understanding of ppl's circumstances

[mystic lintel]

no more college applications

[open glen]

just completed

im done

now its just fin aid

my essays are mid af lmao

[plain chasm]

test done!!

didn’t go as bad as i thought

🥰

only 20 questions and i slayed

[ocean iris]

Bruh its fun watching yall suffer as an ED admit

[vernal raven]

When i get into cornell and i see u on campus im jumping u

[ocean iris]

😳

[wind nimbus]

ill join

[wicked saddle]

are any of you guys doing the IB?

[wind nimbus]

some r

[plain chasm]

i am

[pearl siren]

How do you submit an update form to Cornell?

After RD

[nova crow]

just mail them bro mention ur reference no.

[lapis barn]

i kept dreaming about cornell 😭

[wicked saddle]

Lol I basically have my Cornell info session today

I shall ask all my questions

[plain chasm]

good luck!

[broken sierra]

i have mine in 2 days and have no idea what to ask

[plain chasm]

it’s pretty much just informational

just ask abt what you’re interested in there

i prepared NOTHING for princeton lmao in terms of questions and still asked about his expedience with research at princeton (since we talked a lot about that) then he mentioned eating clubs, life on campus, and the honor code, and then i asked about an academic area i was looking into as a certificate and his experience with certificates and if they’re better than minors

you just gotta find something and run with it

[austere pendant]

i hated mine

the guy did nothing with his time at cornell

the most like vague answers possible

[thick abyss]

Rly?

[wicked saddle]

lol i liked mine

we ended up talking about their wine classes and stuff

[thick abyss]

I’m just rly worried that I didn’t get one

I’m in Illinois

[wicked saddle]

meh

they don't even send a report to admissions

literally just a 1-on-1 info session

[plain chasm]

ye ur good

and they know you requested one

[thick abyss]

Ok 😭

[plain chasm]

they just say you had the interview

that’s all they’re allowed to submit

[short garnet]

you could have waited until now to do the supplements?

[open glen]

Well they were due yesterday

But yeah

[wind nimbus]

smh

[thick abyss]

Not a good strat tho

[wind nimbus]

id imagine itd have some impact on ur chances

[plain chasm]

they just started reading

i don’t think it matters too much as long as your actual app was in

they don’t see time stamps

and they don’t know they haven’t seen ur app yet because it wasn’t sent to them yet, all you get is an automated thing from processing

[thick abyss]

I’m p sure they do

But it’s what it is anyways

[wind nimbus]

shi idk

jus dont make sense in my mind at least

[plain chasm]

true tbh who knows atp

[austere pendant]

he graduated with a masters in computer engineering

and now he works in the food industry

working in nothing related to his degree within the industry

and you know that's all good but i asked him why

his response was "i don't know"

[thick abyss]

I mean he can change career paths lmao

He probs used cornell as clout

Tons of people don’t use their official degree

[austere pendant]

yeah of course

but this was after 15 mins of vague answers about cornell

"cornell is great"

that is all i remember from his conversation

[humble meteor]

basically fucked up big time and missed my rescheduled cornell interview and now my interviewer said she had no more times available so now i am like fucked

how bad will that look on my app

or does CAAAN just have no impact

[wind nimbus]

ok idk bout missing an interview twice but ion think it shld

idk thats a unique situation

[humble meteor]

first time i actually had conflict but second time I just got the time wrong and slept in 💀

welp not getting into cornell anyways

[thick abyss]

I wonder why he does these

[austere pendant]

no impact

he reiterated this many-a-time

[austere pendant]

me too - considering he also came 40 minutes late to our scheduled time

[open glen]

Anyone wanna read my supp

And make me feel better or worse about myself

[thick abyss]

Sure

[tough pebble]

sure :)

[wicked saddle]

what is bro savoring bro like over tens of '000s of people submitted that 1 month ago 💀

[lapis barn]

lmao

[plain chasm]

it’s all good

• idrc about cornell, just shooting my shot

i submitted my app on time 🤷‍♀️ just the writing sup was late, everything was in on the day i submitted my app otherwise so

[solemn sleet]

cornhell

cornL

[wicked saddle]

how u gonna join thread with the worst take luck

[plain chasm]

bros just mad i submitted my writing sup BEFORE THE END OF THE DEADLINE and will still “take his seat”

[solemn sleet]

She’s right

😡

[solemn sleet]

because cornL

[plain coral]

does anyone know how easy it is to internal transfer majors

from coe to cas

id be going from like

biomed eng to

somethign in cas

LOL

[vernal raven]

Extremely hard

Like very, very difficult, and might not even be possible for some majors

[plain coral]

Oh

💀😭

[vernal raven]

Why what u wanna change to

[plain coral]

Im trying to likecornellmore, its one of my top choicesbutits right nextto like duke and brown w open curriculum

I applied bme bc i do love bme but if its too rigorous id want to safely be able to drop down into like cog sci or psych or sci and tech studies

[vernal raven]

Sad to say but it is very rigorous

Cornell has grade deflation 😭

But going from bme to one of those is probably possible

Since i dont think those are as comp as eng

[plain coral]

I can take rigor but yeah i need a padded gpa for med apps

Ty for answering

[wind nimbus]

Ye a prestigious undergrad for med (or other grad heavy majors) kinda a gamble

[broken sierra]

i mean, i think an internal transfer is definitely possible especially for related majors

if i'd gotten in, i was considering transferring from cas physics --> coe engphysics which are practically the same course, minus the core requirements and a few classes

i asked a coe student and they said it's definitely doable, just might be tedious

for switches that are rly obscure they'd probably not allow it though

[wind nimbus]

I heard it’s pretty much like applying to Cornell all over again just to a different school

[plain coral]

Valid

Imagine like comp eng to like history

😭

[tiny cobalt]

switching to cas is easy tho, u just need to wait until the end of freshman yr and with a decent gpa (above 3.3) and are taking cas classes to do it

[plain coral]

Oo ty

I’ll lookmore into it if accepted

Youve given me hole

Hi ppe

Hope

[indigo moat]

what does urm stand for ?

also could someone explain what senioritis is, like I know I have it for sure but what is it lol ?

[vernal raven]

Underrepresented minority

[plain chasm]

senioritis is basically you’re really burnt out from doing 4y of classes and this is your last year before the end of hs, so sometimes people start to be less productive and their grades slip a bit

or they’re doing too many things and their grades slip a bit

[indigo moat]

ahh perfect honestly tho yh I have been more burnt out and less productive but somehow grades improved in mid year so yayy ig

[wicked saddle]

Yeah

Some people, it might be more gradual

Others, like me, it'll literally hit like a truck after the end of 1st semester

[plain chasm]

it was the opposite for me

i got hit like a truck first quarter

it’s been gradual improvement from there

i’m at an A avg in all of my classes but 1 now but I was below that first quarter

[open glen]

I gave up lmao

😭

[plain chasm]

i kinda threw on my midyear

but i didn’t throw hard enough to be disqualifying

[tulip barn]

Ya idk either I got all As and Bs for mid year

But it was like half and half

I hope that’s ok

[thick abyss]

I somehow got all A’s for mid years

[wicked saddle]

I'm still trying hard to push but it's really difficult
I don't feel like my classes require much effort from me anymore, even the ones I thought were difficult

[tulip barn]

Pls lucky I legit gave up

[thick abyss]

I’ve given up now

[tulip barn]

I would’ve had all As in stats but I didn’t do any of my hw and did rly good on all my tests so I kept a B

[thick abyss]

But also I can’t disappoint my teachers

[wind nimbus]

same only rly sketch for like duke and my hella competitive schools

altho uva might tell me to fuck off now

[brave root]

same

[plain chasm]

um i hope harvard didn’t defer only to see my grades

[brave root]

i had senioritis in sophomore spring lmao

[wind nimbus]

real 😭

[plain chasm]

i hope they defered because they were going to reject me anyway

[brave root]

because it was hybrid learning and i just did math comps in class

[tulip barn]

I heard it’s fine if u don’t get Cs for competitive schools? Or does it matter too if it’s Bs

[wicked saddle]

I had junioritis

I wasn't being challenged academically so

[plain chasm]

slightly matters but not as much

[tulip barn]

For mid year

[brave root]

but i picked up gpa in junior and senior year so upward trend ig

[wicked saddle]

I stopped trying as much

[wind nimbus]

my lowest score is a B rest r B+ and As

idk how bad it is tho

[plain chasm]

they’re not going to reject you if you got mainly B+/As

[plain chasm]

isn’t that bad

[tulip barn]

My school doesn’t do that we just do As and Bs no pluses or minuses

[plain chasm]

as long as you’re improving

[wind nimbus]

id say i stayed the same tbh

[brave root]

my school does number grades

[plain chasm]

i threw first quarter but got mainly As 2nd

no Cs

[wind nimbus]

cuz like slightly lower grades but much harder classes imo

[plain chasm]

yup

[open glen]

Same

[plain chasm]

eh if you want to submit extenuating circumstances you can but it isn’t really necessary

[wind nimbus]

cuz was getting more As doing hon anat but like calc bc kicking my ass

[open glen]

@brave root do you get college credit

For data structures

[plain chasm]

what i did was i just sent an update letter with a bunch of extracurricular shit i’ve been doing and awards i’ve been winning since

[brave root]

idk probably not?

but maybe i can try testing out?

[tulip barn]

I think we will be fine if we don’t have anything lower than a B for mid year

[wind nimbus]

that only rly counts for pre jr year in my case as for now ig i moved and had some mental stuff but like nothing that ig justifies anth yk

[plain chasm]

yup

[brave root]

Ik we get college credit for lin alg and multivar though

[plain chasm]

i think ur fine anyway

[tulip barn]

I sent an update to a couple schools

[plain chasm]

they realize it’s hard to manage college apps and harder classes

[tulip barn]

I sent one to Cornell and Columbia even tho I applied RD

Bc those are my top choices

[open glen]

I hope I can test out of chem

My friend tested out

[plain chasm]

i sent an update to all of my schools

[wind nimbus]

i got 2 jobs too tbh 😭

[open glen]

I already know ap chem content

[wind nimbus]

money tight

well i quit one now

[open glen]

But never took the course

[plain chasm]

yeah def they’ll see that too

[tulip barn]

I applied to 20 idk if it’s worth sending an update to them all 😭

Also idk if it’s too late to send an update to the rest of the ivies

[plain chasm]

i sent an update to 10? i think

[wind nimbus]

colombia broke my heart

[plain chasm]

not too late

[tulip barn]

Aww I am sorry

Penn broke my heart

[plain chasm]

they’ve just likely already made a decision

[open glen]

Columbia>Cornell

[brave root]

wat no other way around

[plain chasm]

but it’s not finalized

[wind nimbus]

for engineering no

[open glen]

Even though Cornell is number 1

[tulip barn]

Ya I’ll consider doing that today

[wind nimbus]

i just liked the core curriculum

lol

[open glen]

In NY

[plain chasm]

i’m submitting CSS today

and filling out princeton’s thing

[open glen]

Who the hell wanna go to Ithaca NY lmao

[wind nimbus]

is ur efc low?'

[plain coral]

I rlly want cornell

[plain chasm]

me

[plain coral]

Cuz my odds are decent

[open glen]

I would rather stay here in NYC lmao

[wind nimbus]

id go

[plain coral]

And its a good school

😭

[plain chasm]

low enough that i’d get substantial finaid

[tulip barn]

I would heavily consider going to Cornell bc I applied to dyson

[wind nimbus]

real

[open glen]

Me too

[tulip barn]

The only school id choose over Cornell would be Columbia though

[wind nimbus]

got <10k but hvnt gotten any offers so fuck knows what imma get

[open glen]

I’m hoping i get into cooper Union tbh

[wind nimbus]

brown for me

[open glen]

Or CMU

[tulip barn]

Ooo I have friends who go to brown they love I

It

[open glen]

I should have applied to brown

[wind nimbus]

yep

[open glen]

I’m brown

[tulip barn]

LOL

[wind nimbus]

i shldve ed brown

[open glen]

Would have been an auto admit fr

[wind nimbus]

im black

af

[open glen]

[tulip barn]

I applied to brown but submitted my video portfolio like 18 hours late and they still took it 💀

[plain chasm]

harvard = mit = caltech = princeton > yale = jhu = columbia = cornell > dartmouth > uofa

[open glen]

I told my friend to not to apply to Colgate

[wind nimbus]

u can still submit it to this day

lol

[open glen]

Unless he was an avid Colgate user

But

He’s a crest user

I told him

Auto rejection bro

[wind nimbus]

real

[tulip barn]

oh rly technically it was due in jan tho

[open glen]

You’re wasting your tome

[wind nimbus]

ion like dartmouth for some reason

[plain chasm]

i’m petty

[wind nimbus]

it was but u can still submit it just a chance they might not see it

i submitted a day before the deadline tho

script good vid mid cuz i cant talk to a camera

[plain chasm]

i’m perturbed by dartmouth & princeton because i don’t want to see anyone from my class ever again

[tulip barn]

I never rly looked into dartmouth but I applied and my interview went well so who knows

[open glen]

MIT=Caltech=Princeton=Columbia=Cornell>Yale>JHU>Dartmouth

[tulip barn]

If dartmouth was the only ivy I got into I’d def go

[plain chasm]

and my interviewer never fucking got back to me for dartmouth

[wind nimbus]

💀

[wind nimbus]

damn

[plain chasm]

i’m being real

the girl who got into princeton is the stereotypical mean girl

and dartmouth the mf valedictorian i always argue with

[wind nimbus]

for cs a lot of schools better for it in comparison to the difficulty so no point in my case

[open glen]

The guy who got into Princeton in my school is still applying to other places

[wind nimbus]

so u jus wanna prove sumn 😭

[open glen]

Even though he’s gonna commit to pton anyways

[plain chasm]

i guess 💀

[wind nimbus]

me wen no one from my school has gotten into an ivy

[open glen]

Taking away other people’s spots

[wind nimbus]

we got 1 uva tho

[plain chasm]

i really want to have to buy that fursuit (i said i’d do this if i got into MIT)

[open glen]

After my state school

[wind nimbus]

so far

[wind nimbus]

lmfao

[open glen]

This was the most common school for people to commit to

From last year

[plain chasm]

maybe they’ll see my personal character 🐱

[open glen]

(My state school is stony brook which is SUNY flagship)

[wind nimbus]

um what imma do

[plain chasm]

stony brook is phenomenal

y’all are lucky to have nice state schools

some mf just accidentally made a bomb at mine

[wind nimbus]

i mean ye va acc pretty solid

just hella fuckin competitive

deferred from flagship

[tulip barn]

i applied business to places that offered but dartmouth didn’t so I applied government and public policy which is my 2nd fav major that I would def do as a minor or double major w business but if I got into nyu stern I would go there over darty

[wind nimbus]

valid

[plain chasm]

yes! i did astro + public policy at dartmouth

[open glen]

@wind nimbus

Are you also NY?

[wind nimbus]

ye

no

va

[open glen]

Ah

[open glen]

Oof on the UVA deferral

Isn’t it like 4% AR from defer

[wind nimbus]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[topaz aurora]

💀

is it that low

[wind nimbus]

tbh ik y i got deferred so idk

moved from intl so probs want to see sr year grades

[topaz aurora]

i wrote a banger loci 😔

[wind nimbus]

ye

[wind nimbus]

for cornell?

[topaz aurora]

yeah

[open glen]

So you’re OOS for UVA?

(Idk residency rules work in every state)

[topaz aurora]

i’ve got a banger loci template tho 💪

[open glen]

(Only know Cali and NY)

@plain chasm are you planning on academia?

[wind nimbus]

nah im in state

mom lived here for like 10 years

and i was filed as a dependent

but was lving with my dad in africa till jr year in

[open glen]

Ah

[open glen]

Lmao

I find that funny

[wind nimbus]

its a weird situation like financially

[open glen]

I’m gonna go now

Gotta pray

[wind nimbus]

aiit hv fun

[plain chasm]

eventually

well i’m not sure anymore

I’m planning on doing space policy

and maybe like IAU diplomacy

i’ve got a few things i want to do atm

academia will be after i achieved them all

[night fern]

Cornell still hasn’t replied to my email and it’s been a week 😭😭

[limpid ocean]

what did u send to them?

[lilac island]

im still writing my loci

[night fern]

I asked them a question about my application.

[limpid ocean]

ah

ima write all of the colleges an update in mb mid feb

or mb late feb

[night fern]

I’m wondering if I should call instead.

[limpid ocean]

hmmm

ye

i mean

it's only been a week

if it's not urgent then no need

but if u really really like really need their help

then call

i often seek calling as the last resort

[lilac island]

my counselor says early feb then early march

idk tbh

[limpid ocean]

i mean 2 might be too much for me lol

1 is prob enough

[lilac island]

na, you can do more in the first one

[limpid ocean]

2 if u sent one and then u got sth super cool then do 2

[limpid ocean]

ye u can

but it seems too excessive for me

[lilac island]

sec one would just be "hey u wanna take me?"

XD

i told chatgpt to write one for me, and its like stupidly perfectly average

so normal that really does nothing imo

[limpid ocean]

lol

i mean

[lilac island]

even worse than my own writing

[limpid ocean]

chatgpt

it can generate a lot of things

but they're often just simply shit

ngl

[lilac island]

but its good at making my ideas sound

[limpid ocean]

i asked them to write my essays and they don't even have a proper point 🥲

[lilac island]

like the wording sounds more precise

[limpid ocean]

the explanation was just ....

[limpid ocean]

ye

[lilac island]

exactly

[limpid ocean]

if u give it enough data

surely its fine

[lilac island]

i gave it my essay and it kinda embellished it so well

but omitted some pts i was making lmao

[limpid ocean]

ahh

wait if u're in america

u can use chatgpt free?

or its free but if u want a better version u gotta pay for the chatgpt plus or sth

[limpid ocean]

lol

[lilac island]

its free and good for me so far

[limpid ocean]

ah

ic

damn elon :')_

[lilac island]

i told it to do my rhetorical analysis hw

just to see if it matches my ideas

and it does, so im happy

[limpid ocean]

lol

but we wont be able to use it in the future 🥲

elon counter it with the gpt detector 🥲

sad

[lilac island]

idrc, ill write my own if i hav that knowledge

(my own hwgpt)

(not my hw)

[limpid ocean]

lol

[vernal raven]

My friend got his essay deadline extended to the 22nd 💀

[thick abyss]

Bruh

[plain chasm]

it’s gonna be extended til march 30

“submit by march 30 to be considered”

flat rejection

[vernal raven]

Apparently it says feb 22nd is the very last extension

[open glen]

youre fucking joking theres no way

😭

[lapis barn]

yeah anyone submitting that late would most likely get rejected

unless their essays are really good

[open glen]

me when i submitted it on thursday

😭

tbf

i dont give a shit about cornell

[lapis barn]

i submitting on the 10th

but cornell is my dream lol after stanford

[plain chasm]

i submitted on the 10th

ain’t no way

they’re taking til feb 22

[open glen]

if im gonna go to a school in ny

i would rather go to columbia or cooper union

[lapis barn]

whats with all the extensions

prob want to drop acceptance rate

[open glen]

well common app was due last month

so like

you cant just add it onto your common app

[vernal raven]

Yes u can

Lol

[wicked saddle]

you dawgs submitting on feb 22 are crazy

around like 1/2 the admissions files been reviewed by that time

i bet

[vernal raven]

bro is inside the admissions office

[wicked saddle]

i read ur file

fire essay btw

[grim crown]

did you like mine

[wicked saddle]

its ait, got pretty spicy at the end

[grim crown]

thank you i do think the end is the best part

[naive grove]

well

some likelies have come out I think

so at least probably a substantial portion

[tulip barn]

Just got my interview request today

[vernal raven]

U didnt have to indicate anything on the portal right?

It was just the common app interest thingy

[tulip barn]

Yup just common app

[brave pier]

boys

[thick abyss]

Girls

[brave pier]

what did yall submit for optional supplemental materials to cornell

[thick abyss]

I did employer lor

[brave pier]

u submitted it?

or did they email it to cornell

[plain chasm]

update + certification

i used my 3rd rec for my employer lor

[brave pier]

certification?

[plain chasm]

for a program

[thick abyss]

They did

[brave pier]

ahh i see

[plain chasm]

it documents my hours + explains it so

[brave pier]

which email did u send it to

[thick abyss]

I did it on the common app lmao

[brave pier]

oh

[thick abyss]

Like a month ago so idk how I would now

[brave pier]

welp

[thick abyss]

Send it to admissions tho probs

[brave pier]

[email protected]

[plain chasm]

upload in portal

[brave pier]

yea my principal sent it to that one

[plain chasm]

there’s a place to upload in portal

they’re more likely to read it

[brave pier]

yea but if u upload it then

there

that means they know u read it

[plain chasm]

cornell never responds via email

best bet is portal

are you trying to submit a lor

[brave pier]

yes

[plain chasm]

idk then

[brave pier]

well its already been submitted

im just tryna make sure

its under my app

[plain chasm]

if it’s already been submitted then it’s there

and being considered

[brave pier]

alright bet

thank you

[radiant dragon]

wait cornell offers interviews? i thought on the CALS website it said they don't conduct 😭

[daring dragon]

depends on the college i think

[plain chasm]

CAAN

[vernal raven]

not evaluative ones

[tulip barn]

they’re optional alum interviews my understanding is that they barely matter

I also thought dyson didn’t do interviews but I guess I’m wrong

[wide yacht]

Got my Cornell interview as well right now! Should I do it tho? It’s not going to help me.

[plain chasm]

yes

if you decline they can see you declined

[vernal raven]

yea what calypso said

if u reject it looks bad for demonstrated interest

[open glen]

does cornell need CSS?

[vernal raven]

yes

[open glen]

ty

i forgot i havent done yet it for CMU

[vernal raven]

do it asap

if deadline hasnt passed yet its abt to pass

[open glen]

its tmrw

i got a fucking postcard about it today in the mail

@vernal raven

does this mean from the portal?

[vernal raven]

probably

but its not needed

[open glen]

is it ok if i dont put in then

[rare kettle]

does Cornell even have deadlines at this point? 😂

[wind nimbus]

cornell haas rolling admissions confirmed

[vernal raven]

yea

[rare kettle]

i was about to say that…

[vernal raven]

they just want that $75 lol

[wind nimbus]

be faster

[plain chasm]

no

they’re doing what wooster does

just without the emails to people who havent submitted apps

[rare kettle]

😂

[tulip barn]

even tho Cornell is giving absurd extensions it’s already a red flag if someone is using them without any extenuating circumstances

[thick abyss]

I bet they have piles based on submission date

Idk it’s weird

[tulip barn]

yeah probably

no way they haven’t read like half the apps by now

prob a pile for on time and then a pile for after deadline

[pearl siren]

Cornell doesn't want to be one of the easy ivy leagues and is working on changing that by doing absurd stuff lmao

[wicked saddle]

bredda the mandem already sift through like half the admissions files 😂

aint taking risks

[thick abyss]

Fr

They aren’t gonna accept kids doing it at LAST LAST min if they are on same level as kids who did it on time

[deep schooner]

anyone got stats for nolan? couldn’t find online

[thick abyss]

Gl man we r in this together

I believe 20-30% acceptance

Like 200/1000

[deep schooner]

yo if u get accepted send stats 🙏

[thick abyss]

I was gonna say same to you but realized you’re a sophomore

Dude if I get in, I’d so help in anyway I can

[wicked saddle]

lowkey a mental game cornell be playin

[dreamy ridge]

did u guys hear about the north campus expansion

they could accept more people because theres now a 2k+ student capacity increase

[tulip barn]

Omg dyson plz accept me

[plain chasm]

yeah

hence why

they’re extending their deadlines like mad

[indigo moat]

yoooo

[tulip barn]

oh yeah that makes sense bcs they need more applicants to reject

to keep their acceptance rate low

but they still need a bigger proportion overall to accept more but also reject more

[thick abyss]

Ahh you’re so right

So they want an extra 20k applicants

[tulip barn]

yeah so they’re extending to get ubwualificated applicants

who apply on a whim

to keep acceptance rates low

so they can accept more qualified people

for the extra room

[thick abyss]

That’s honestly so shady

I love cornell but y’all

[topaz aurora]

unis playing the rank game instead of being rational sometimes

[wind nimbus]

ay man long as i get in

a win is a win

[wooden atlas]

it'

isn't shady

hershey is more than likely just speculating

lol

[pearl siren]

I've given up on cornell

[daring dragon]

y

[pearl siren]

Due to the number of applications they're accepting lol

[pearl siren]

RD

[daring dragon]

how are people getting in then wtf

we find out like the day before april 1st

[tiny cobalt]

How do u know how many apps they have accepted, just saying that since it there wasnt a significant jump ed

[plain coral]

No just like how many ppl are applying

Cuz the deadline extended over a month

[tulip barn]

yeah I’m just speculating ofc but if they do have room for more apps my guess would make sense but ya ofc no way to confirm

[pine granite]

it makes a lot of sense tho

[tawny prism]

https://tenor.com/view/fighting-punch-fight-gif-13599924

me fighting off my inner cornell simp cause i don’t wanna be crushed by a rejection

[hallow sierra]

real 😭

[crimson zodiac]

felt this fr

would simp so hard but then i'd get slapped even harder

😭

[knotty geyser]

Everyone flunks out

[lapis barn]

fr

[limpid ocean]

thats me with duke 🥲

combined with the timezone difference (vietnam vs north carolina)

my ed was released at 4am

and guess who stayed up till 4 just to get rejected :>

[torn citrus]

vịt gang

[thick abyss]

Me with cornell and duke as top two

[limpid ocean]

fr

we be waking up at 3 or 4 to get our rejection :>

sometimes its an acceptance tho

[torn citrus]

"sometimes"

[limpid ocean]

ye

[plain coral]

Praying Cornell isn’t sick of my hs yet and takes me

[thick abyss]

Y’all have rep with Cornell?

Can’t relate 😭

[plain coral]

9 of 95 kids last yr went to cornell

[thick abyss]

DAMNN

We had 2/1000

[plain coral]

😭 praying rn

I need that highschool name boost

[limpid ocean]

lol

[tulip barn]

My interview is today

[limpid ocean]

just praying cornell likes viet kids

[limpid ocean]

gl

[tulip barn]

And I still sound like I’m dying bc I’m still semi sick so hopefully this goes well lol

I sound like a chain smoker 😭

[tulip barn]

Thank youu

I didn’t know they gave out interviews to dyson kids

[limpid ocean]

rip

[limpid ocean]

wait wat?

u got it????

[tulip barn]

Yeah I applied dyson

[limpid ocean]

damn 🥲

how

[plain coral]

I mean dont they not consider interview

Isnt it informational

[limpid ocean]

they said on the website "no interview is offered"

[plain coral]

For everywher but architecture

[limpid ocean]

ye but still it adds sth

[tulip barn]

I have no idea

[limpid ocean]

to ur like values and stuff

[tulip barn]

Well on common app I said that even if I wasn’t admitted to dyson I still wanted consideration for the hotel school I think

[limpid ocean]

weird 🥲

[tulip barn]

Or idk there was just some box I could check saying that I wanted consideration for the school in general regardless of dyson

And I checked it

[limpid ocean]

wait wat

i didnt get that

smh

[tulip barn]

it was on common app

u prob checked it and forgot

i have no clue

i wouldn’t worry

my friend got an interview as well for arts and sciences

[thick abyss]

Ny

[limpid ocean]

ye ig so

[thick abyss]

I DIDNT get one for sha

Fml

[tulip barn]

i heard Cornell values the interview the least out of all the ivies anyways

my interviewers daughter is also a senior she’s going to umich

so hopefully he’s nice lol

all my friends know his daughter

[thick abyss]

Oo nice!!

[broken sierra]

yeah the interview legit doesn’t matter, the interviewer doesn’t even send a report back

[thick abyss]

USC BROOO

[broken sierra]

just marks whether the interview happened or not

[tulip barn]

wait what really

that doesn’t seem practical though

then what’s the point of having an interview

[thick abyss]

cornell is purely informational

It’s to get kids to keep liking the school

And keep alumnis active I think

[broken sierra]

it really is purely informational. it also helps keep alumni in the loop and maintain a network

yes

i had mine a few days back too and my interviewer asked me literally nothing about myself. it was more me interviewing him tbh

[limpid ocean]

wait wat?

wdym?

[limpid ocean]

lol

social manipulation

[broken sierra]

tbh they know it themselves. like i asked my interviewer why he chose to do interviews and he said pretty much the same thing

it was fun

[thick abyss]

They got in lmao

[limpid ocean]

lol ik

[limpid ocean]

they send reports back?

usc?

sadly i did marshall so also no interview offered 🥲

[broken sierra]

he was a chill dude tho

[open glen]

You’re gonna be fine

Last year my school like 25 people got in ED Cornell
Around 20 people this year got in ED

[vernal raven]

We had a harvard acceptance in 2020 and a cornell one in like 2007

[indigo moat]

My school has had 0 ivy acceptances and i think only 5 people that even applied to ivies so far

[open glen]

[mystic lintel]

[vernal raven]

[indigo moat]

Not many scholarships for Intl undergraduates tho

[pearl summit]

laughs in my school hasnt sent a kid to cornell in the last ten years

[hexed snow]

anyone saw someone who got accepted to cornell after getting deferred?

getting more and more nervous now

[hollow nova]

why would they defer you if they weren’t considering accepting you?

lmao

[sleek cloud]

anyone gotten a likely letter from cornell yet??

have they sent out likelys?

[plain chasm]

pretend they dont exist

practically nobody gets them

• they come out in march

mid march

[sleek cloud]

yeah ik but i wanna know if anyone has yet haha cause yale people said

they got them already

[plain chasm]

they dont release the same day

there isnt a unanimous likely day

yale likelies already came out so did harvard and stanford

cornell comes out in march

but like nobody gets any of these

so its better off just pretending they dont exist

[naive grove]

I mean

I think likelies are at least somehwat rolling lol

[plain chasm]

yeah that’s true

i’m just saying they’re so uncommon

you shouldn’t get hung up

[desert current]

real

[tulip barn]

So a big part of my application is my tiktok account bc I have over a mil followers and work with brands

And my interviewer asked if I was concerned ab the Chinese government spying on me

💀💀

“What would u do if they banned tiktok bc of the spies”

[topaz aurora]

💀

[regal hill]

bruhhhhhh lololololol

[vernal raven]

Nah thats valid

Arent republicans trying to ban it again

[tulip barn]

Yeah I played the part

I was like I’m def trying to be safe and weary! I care so much!

[rare kettle]

from government officials’ phones, right?

[vernal raven]

I thought they were just trying to ban it in the US in general

[mossy obsidian]

democrats too

[vernal raven]

I hope they do

Then my addiction can end

[mossy obsidian]

LOL

[rare kettle]

Oh, maybe that was last year then

[spring adder]

hello

did anyone get interviews from cornell

[lapis barn]

bro what do u go to a feeder school??

[nova crow]

Cornell doesn’t take interviews

Only for architecture

They do

[spring adder]

yeah but don't they offer interviews that are blind to the admissions office

just to ask questions and stuff

[nova crow]

Yes

I had one

For that u have the tick the box while filling ur common app that ur interested in it

Did u do that’s

Anyway that interview doesn’t hamper w ur chances of getting in or out

[spring adder]

I don't think it was in commonapp, it was on my admissions checklist website

[cedar bison]

I did

[spring adder]

tbh the likelihood im getting into cornell is less than 1%

it's better to just forget i applied here

[cedar bison]

but didn't receive any email

[nova crow]

Bro I applied to college of human ecology and I didn’t take up the sciences in senior and junior year💀 but I am applying for the fashion business management major so I didn’t find the need to study those subjects

I have core business subjects and fashion in high school

[thick abyss]

Are those sciences required for admissions or recommendations

[nova crow]

I mean specifically for college of human ecology they mentioned that 4 years of pure sciences but lets see

[nova crow]

R u international

[spring adder]

yeah

[cedar bison]

SAT optional?

[spring adder]

yeah

[cedar bison]

I m international too

[nova crow]

Isn’t Cornell test blind for most schools

[spring adder]

not engineering

[cedar bison]

but I applied with sat

[spring adder]

what score did u get

[cedar bison]

1350

[spring adder]

ngl bro you should've gone optional

[nova crow]

Oh hahaha

[cedar bison]

my chances are 0.00001%

[thick abyss]

For which school?

[cedar bison]

I don't think I can change it now

[spring adder]

yeah I applied for aid too

[thick abyss]

@nova crow

[cedar bison]

cornell

[spring adder]

lmaoo

[thick abyss]

“Complete advanced level (Advanced Placement; International Baccalaureate; etc.) Calculus and core science work (Biology, Chemistry, and/or Physics) if they are available, regardless of your intended major. Elective science courses in lieu of core sciences are not compelling.”

If you have this you’re good

[thick abyss]

Yeah which school in cornell

[cedar bison]

engineering

I applied with sat because I had 710 in math and won math olympiads haha but I just wanted to try

[nova crow]

Exactly I didn’t take science or maths in senior and junior year but rather the subjects that directly coincide w my major

[thick abyss]

Like psych and business stuff?

[nova crow]

Business subjects like economics accounting and also fashion studies

[thick abyss]

Nice!!

[nova crow]

Since I wanna go in fashion business management line

[thick abyss]

Yeah all depends on how strict they are

[nova crow]

HM. wby

[thick abyss]

they only require 2 science classes in college so doesn’t seem that harsh

[nova crow]

hmm let’s see fuck ivy day it’s so far

[thick abyss]
