Cornell (SUNY Ithaca) (2022-2023)

[whole panther]

rejected here 💀

[toxic stream]

CONGRATULATIONS JAE!!!

[austere pendant]

glad it's done though, nice getting to know all of you lot

[untold marsh]

rejected here i cant remember if i updated

[feral hull]

OMG

Did anyone get into brooks too?

[untold marsh]

thankful bc i didnt want to go & i half assed it, it's a rightful rejection

[wicked saddle]

Got in!!!

[deft hedge]

Congrats

[solemn sleet]

Hey guys, where do I see my fin aid package?

[blissful mantle]

Did anyone get in

[modest orbit]

what exactly does this mean

[toxic stream]

one year of study outside cornell (freshman year) and years 2-4 at cornell

honestly so OP

[tawny prism]

rejected lol

[untold marsh]

NOOOOO

[modest orbit]

is it guaranteed?

looking here and it says no but some people say it is?

given that i meet the requirements ofc

[twilit coral]

"we like you but we wanna keep our admit rate low/dont have enough space so we'll let you transfer in after freshman year"

[hallow sierra]

i think they cant say it is but most people who got TOs and applied got in/

[wicked saddle]

YO MY FELLOW CORNELLIANS CO27 MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR FREE TSHIRTS

[hallow sierra]

that's what ive been seeing online, i also got a TO

[wicked saddle]

its guaranteed

[plain coral]

yes

not binding

but guaranteed

[marsh musk]

Waitlisted

[wicked saddle]

the big thing about to is you can't switch colleges once you're in cornell

so if you do hotel for example just to switch into engineering you can't do that if you get a to because you can't switch colleges after your first year

[royal crown]

Wait are financial aid packages available yet?

[wicked saddle]

nah

wait idk personally for me it took me 3 months to get it but I was ed

[royal crown]

I hope we get it soon

[daring siren]

👋

[modest orbit]

so if i do the TO i will be going under the major thats listed on the letter rn

[long oak]

[wicked saddle]

https://admit.cornell.edu/free-gear-0

[vernal raven]

Dont say rhis i just got into upenn with 0 efc

[jovial field]

[thick abyss]

“While completing requirements does not guarantee selection for admission, the most successful applicants will have completed all of the above listed requirements”
“Transfer decisions are released on a rolling basis”
“Complete all course requirements for your major with a "B" or better in each course”
@hallow sierra

[hallow sierra]

o ok ty <3

[wicked saddle]

yes

assuming u not international 💀

[tiny cobalt]

Intl is also free

like the shipping fee was five times the price of the tshirt but they also covered it

[brave pier]

i still havent even opened xD

[wicked saddle]

hella based of cornell

like usual

[empty raptor]

Accepted cas 🥹

[marsh musk]

How many accepted on the waitlist

no chance ?

[empty raptor]

4%

[tawdry pecan]

which is pretty good considering that isnt that much lower than the acceptance rate and all of the people who got accepted are already out of the pool

[shy viper]

Slightly happy I don't need to even remotely consider another school

It's officially my only acceptance from a school with acceptance rate under 60%

[tired void]

rejected

[rare kettle]

@thick abyss How’d you do?

I got waitlisted and rejected everywhere else.

[thick abyss]

Waitlisted 😭

[rare kettle]

Man that’s humbling

😦

[rare kettle]

We wait for Duke

[fringe granite]

waitlisted 3.9 uw 1570

[thick abyss]

Dude I have no shot at duke

[fringe granite]

anyone know how much teh waitlist moves?

[feral wren]

Rejected with a transfer option. Last four colleges have been rough but glad to be done with this

[rare kettle]

Me neither 🥺, I really need to do some soul searching

[fringe granite]

im genuinely really fucking bummed... i was this close to getting into an ivy and now im going to community college with a half-assed usc transfer plan

[thick abyss]

Usc 27?

[fringe granite]

once agian... usc tranfser plan

[rare kettle]

Well UNC here I come

[broken harbor]

So many WL Cornell wtf

[thick abyss]

Ohhh gotcha not accepted yet?

[fringe granite]

yeah

[rare kettle]

Man these are my first rejections and they low key hurt

[grand oar]

My bff and I are opening her cornell in a half hour I’m so nervous

[late flare]

youll take my spot hopefully

🙏

[thick abyss]

Nolan?

[tulip barn]

Cornell rejection hurt especially badly

Goodnight to this thread 💖

[late flare]

what

[daring yoke]

cornell W but gonna commit USC

fight on

[thick abyss]

Did u apply to Nolan lmao

[late flare]

oh

no

engineering

[pallid mica]

freeing me a space

USC a good school fr though

[crimson vortex]

is there any hope for waitlist people 😭😭

[warm solstice]

jai mata di

[pallid mica]

just keep praying 🙏

[daring yoke]

yessir i gotchu

[vague trail]

rejected

[junior marsh]

accepted!!

[sweet gale]

how many bitches got waitlisted

[inner flower]

Should I even try for a LOCI

Idk how selective the waitlist is

[nova fulcrum]

hows cornell cs vs GT cs?

[crimson zodiac]

go cornell

unless gt is lot cheaper

[junior marsh]

they're very comparable actually. but if you care about the ivy league tag, go cornell

[nova fulcrum]

which has better job prospects for tech companies/FAANG?

[junior marsh]

at this point it depends on what you do with your degree, rather than the name of the college

go to whichever school suits you best

[fringe granite]

pretty equal ngl

the only reason i would choose cornell in your choice is if you care about the brand name, cornell is much cheaper, or you think youll fit in at cornell better

[nova briar]

cornell vs caltech?

[fringe granite]

caltech all teh way

although caltech is brutally hard... p much the hardest undergrad in america

[nova briar]

objectively?

lk im leaning to cornell >:

for cs

[fringe granite]

cornell also has hella grade deflation but caltech is on another level of difficulty

[nova fulcrum]

yes caltech the best but hardest

[nova briar]

cornell 5 cs caltech 9 and mainly i like the bigger school and east coast ig

[nova fulcrum]

gt is also 5

[crimson zodiac]

ooh

those 2 are a lil different

[nova briar]

ikr cornells 16x larger

[daring siren]

Bro Cornell

I'm not even at the school yet, and the fact that it's private means I'm literally already getting alumni trying to help me into faang as a pre frosh

[nova fulcrum]

why's that any different btw private vs public?

[daring siren]

Public school wouldn't do that type of stuff

[nova fulcrum]

Berkeley is a public but is #1 in CS

[daring siren]

Nah I turned down Berkeley

[jovial field]

private > public more opportunity ?

[nova fulcrum]

not necessary.. northeastern is a private.. is it better than public berkeley or GT?

[crimson zodiac]

berkeley cs rn is not as good as it seems

[daring siren]

I mean look bottom line you can't really go wrong

[crimson zodiac]

with the overcrowding and whatnot

[daring siren]

Berkely literally op for graduate tho like Berkely Lawrence is crazy

[jovial field]

if close rank id prefer private > public

[crimson zodiac]

yeah well grad is a diff story

[daring siren]

Yeah but Cornell isn't ranked lower in everything

[daring siren]

I mean don't get me wrong I do love Berkeley like even for undergrad I just wouldn't take it over Cornell

[crimson zodiac]

same for me

[daring siren]

But it's also preference both are extremely great

[nova fulcrum]

when tech companies go recruiting, they think MIT, stanford, berkeley, GT.. i never heard tech companies going to Ivy's

[crimson zodiac]

(if cornell accepts me)

[wicked saddle]

W

[crimson zodiac]

i personally think the private public alone is enough for me to pick cornell

[daring siren]

They don't think gt as the same as the others (like berk and stabford) also it's fine cause private alumni netoekrs are great, Cornell cs t5, your like still guaranteed an interview

[plain chasm]

is it worthwhile to accept a spot on the waitlist?

[late flare]

when does cornell financial aid come out 😭 thought they said it came out when decision comes out

[daring siren]

Also like for quant were a feeder too with New York presence all all theory Cs classes in ocaml

[jovial field]

👀

[daring siren]

I've alr been connected to multiple students with js, scale ai, other quant firms, apple etc internships

And I don't even know that many people

[late flare]

tf

[daring siren]

😎

And for research, it's extremely accessible (why were like one of the biggest PhD feeders in the country)

[broken sierra]

holyyy congrats on columbia, so deserved

[plain chasm]

THANK YOU!!

[thick abyss]

COLUMBIA BRO

[plain chasm]

YES RILEY I GOT COLUMBIAAAAA

[thick abyss]

IM SO SO PROUD OF YOU

Time for me to churn off a cornell waitlist>accept

[plain chasm]

i got cornell waitlist too 😭

[plain chasm]

i have faith in you!! (and won’t be taking your spot. one less applicant on the waitlist)

[shy viper]

how much is the enrollment deposit??

[plain chasm]

im so so glad columbia doesn’t have an enrollment deposit either like 😭

i just click commit

[thick abyss]

Dude I have a master plan; basically begging every minute connection I have and somehow making a fire loci

[shy viper]

cornell’s gotta wipe us clean before we pay that 80k

[brave root]

Congrats!!

I'm so happy for you!! completely deserved 💪

also what's up with the 10 sec cooldown lmao

[marsh musk]

congratulations

[plain chasm]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[plain chasm]

i just know i’m committing to columbia. im trying to get columbia to match a bit more of my UofA scholarship (maybe? since it’s p prestigious and my mom just lost her job)

THANK YOUUU

[tiny cobalt]

Prolly quant is only the place where maybe name matters, faang doesnt really care about where u go

but really if for cs network, vibe and fit matters more since the education is standardized

[plain coral]

Get in

Please

I need a bestie

[plain coral]

Bros gonna be with guest 😭

[plain chasm]

dw dw i’ll stay 10+ ft away

[plain coral]

Good plan

[solemn sleet]

Bring pepper spray

[tropic scaffold]

cornell or princeton for CS?

just curious

bc I got WLed for princeton

and into cornell

[real skiff]

rejected

[tropic scaffold]

aw man sorry to hear that D:

[real skiff]

now we grind loci's and move on to transfer apps 💀

[tropic scaffold]

remember

these are

massive institutions

who do not care about the people they admit / reject

you are a whole person

you're way more than some random college

[real skiff]

ty ty

[wind nimbus]

id say cornell tbh

[wind nimbus]

tbh im debating transferring

i think id only try for cornell

maybe couple others idk

anyways gg yall

[real skiff]

ggs

[wind nimbus]

ill catch yall lata

✌️

[tropic scaffold]

kk

[nova fulcrum]

what does quant really mean?

[tiny cobalt]

Mostly prop trading/hft firms like js, hrt, citadel

[nova fulcrum]

transfer apps? where'd you wanna transfer after freshman year?

[nova fulcrum]

Do trading/hft firms pay better than FAANG?

[tiny cobalt]

Much better

At least prob double

[nova fulcrum]

really?

whats the freshman offer from hft firms? like 250k?

[tiny cobalt]

Yea new grad at quant firm usually range round 300-400k range

I mean there are some crazy offer around like 150k for js interns so 😭

But like these firms are the most elite in terms of recruiting so dont bet on getting any

[nova fulcrum]

ah interesting

what skills do these quant firms require?

[plain coral]

Hello

[tiny cobalt]

Math (probability, game theory) and algo usually

[nova fulcrum]

hmm so probably should major in Math+CS then?

[tiny cobalt]

Yea fr

[wicked saddle]

ngl the more I think about it the more i lowkey regret not getting guaranteed to

i save 50k by going to asu or smth for my first year

and i dont give a shit about transferring so

[daring siren]

😎

[daring siren]

yeah also private netowrks are much better imo, like for berkely literally everyone in the bay is at berkely and from waht iev seen alumni dont really help each other out compared to a private like @ corenll or stanford or mit or cmu etc

[daring siren]

its mostly probability from waht ive seen

[daring siren]

yeah thats a good pick

[daring siren]

bro summer is like 90k alr or like 120 an hour

for an internship 😭

entry is like yeah about 3-400k

[daring siren]

huh?

[wicked saddle]

to be fair ill probably make back the 50k in internships

school + summer

so...

[daring siren]

wdum not getting guarenteed to

wait also r u coming on 22nd

[wicked saddle]

guaranteed to allows me to attend like a full scholarship school like asu or utd and maintain bavsically a 4.0 then transfer to cornell

[wicked saddle]

hopefully

[daring siren]

yooo

[wicked saddle]

wait also where did you get the 90k mark for quant interns

i know someone who intered at hrt over the summer and he was making 45k

[nova fulcrum]

is it easy to transfer from any other university to cornell after freshman year

[wicked saddle]

no without a to

cornell's transfer rate is hugely inflated because of to's

[nova fulcrum]

whats to?

[wicked saddle]

guaranteed transfer option

basically enroll in any other college and you're guaranteed to get a transfer to cornell after a year

cornell does it to students it really likes but doesn't want to outright accept because it wants to drive its acceptance rate down

[tiny cobalt]

Yea it varies

but there is a difference between quant dev and quant trading also

Also it is very performance heavy so if u arent pulling in money u might get fired

[winged lotus]

I take it I’m not the only one to have received that ‘inquiry denied’ bit on the finaid page?

[nova fulcrum]

do they give this option to some students along with the "unable to offer" letter?

[solemn sleet]

that’s right @winged lotus

[vernal raven]

They know ur not committing so they arent giving u the shirt

[native rover]

CARNELLL

[thick abyss]

Babe can I talk to ur dad

Seriously I gotta talk to professors

[vernal raven]

Jae u got in?!?!???

[spare forge]

did anyone get cornell financial aid?

my aid portal is not working lmao

[winged lotus]

You’re not alone, seems to be a common theme.

[plain chasm]

ofc she got in she’s amazing

[wicked saddle]

LETS GO!

CALS Community

[royal crown]

I haven’t gotten my financial aid yet do you think I will get it later today or like next week?

[solemn sleet]

I don’t think any RD admits have gotten it yet, cornL is so slow

[jovial field]

I got it this morning

[solemn sleet]

oh fr?

Mine still says invalid

[jovial field]

They know u don’t want them

[royal crown]

I’ll probably wait until Monday and if I don’t have an offer I will call the financial aid office

[solemn sleet]

[nova fulcrum]

whats the admit rate for CALS?

[wicked saddle]

THANK YOU !!

[daring siren]

https://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/university-factbook/undergraduate-admissions

[tropic scaffold]

CONGRATS

wait

where do you see if you got smth like this

btw

[nova fulcrum]

nice, CALS has much better acceptance rate than other colleges.. is it possible to transfer from CALS to CS?

[jovial field]

Email!

[tropic scaffold]

🫡 ty!

[solemn sleet]

CALS is part of Cornell’s NYS funded school, while CS is in CoE, the private "Ivy League" part of Cornell. I’m not sure if they even allow transfers between NYS funded schools and private endowment funded schools, and I would assume it’s hard to do so because otherwise everyone would just do this.

(CoE = Cornell College of Engineering)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/789719274566057984/1091229639676006450/image0.jpg

Ignore the highlighting on this

[tiny cobalt]

u can transfer into cas np just have to wait 1 yr just need a decent gpa like 2.7 or smth

for coe u prob need to do the req courses but shouldnt be exactly too hard

[turbid kettle]

Is there a Cornell 2027 Discord?

[junior marsh]

DM'ed!

[royal crown]

Can you dm me too?

[junior marsh]

done

[late flare]

is work study and employment thing completely separate?

where did they pull these numbers from and how does that work. kinda confused

[solemn sleet]

bro said decent and then said 2.7 💀

[plain chasm]

cornell average grade deflated gpa

[wicked saddle]

Where do we see Cornell aid

[wicked saddle]

Where did you see this

[late flare]

financial aid status

wait

i think that should work

[empty raptor]

Can I also get a dm?

[wicked saddle]

Why does it say I'm missing stuff I already sent on idoc

And ik idoc got it because northwestern gave me my package already and they use idoc

[royal crown]

I still haven’t gotten my financial aid package 😭

[late flare]

https://finaid.cornell.edu/view-financial-aid-decision-0

sent the wrong link earlier

[atomic fractal]

could u dm me as well. thx!

[tropic scaffold]

apparently cornell is reversing deflation pretty hard bc of mental health stuff

[wicked saddle]

I swear

How does deflation work

[tropic scaffold]

they just

curve the classes lower

basically

also congrats on princeton 🤯

that's crazy

[wicked saddle]

Ohhh ok

Also tysm !

[open glen]

Guess what Princeton and Cornell have in common?

Grade deflation

🤣

[tropic scaffold]

lmao true

princeton's prob worse than cornell though ngl

but princeton also has better undergrad teaching

[plain chasm]

that must suck

[plain coral]

cornell barely does deflation

[winged glacier]

how hard is it to get off of cornell waitlist

[crimson vortex]

odds don’t look great

but i’m hopeful!

[plain chasm]

should i withdraw my waitlist or hope to get in in the event columbia gives me better aid bc of it?

i’m 99.9% committing to columbi a

[rare kettle]

just commit homie

[plain chasm]

😞

april 30

i’m jk, i just want to see arizona scholarship

[jovial field]

hows cornells acceptance package for school of engineering?

[late flare]

got full tuition + room and board

so basically only have to pay for meal plan

[naive grove]

Aight

I'm probably going Cornell considering I got bent over by the rest of the ivies and Stanford

[vernal raven]

Fuck stanford 🗣️

[royal crown]

Did they email you to alert you on your financial aid

[late flare]

yeah

[royal crown]

Ok I can stop obsessively checking and just wait for an email now

[late flare]

👍

[jovial field]

Are the only tours available the 75 min ones? Are there any admitted student days? Or ones specifically for engineering

Looks like there aren’t any more in person ones open 🫠

[junior marsh]

does everyone get an admitted student package, including intls?

[winged lotus]

Was this in a separate email at a later date?

Wrote specifically about this scholarship in my application! Would be awesome to receive an offer as well.

[daring siren]

Yeah on the 22nd and 29th. You should come on the 22nd 😍

[daring siren]

Should I think

[junior marsh]

how long does it typically take?

[daring siren]

Haven't gotten mine yet 🥶

[wicked saddle]

So um

Our conjecture mightve been somewhat false

Even with 1200 new freshman beds, the admitted number went down lol

https://cornellsun.com/2023/03/31/nearly-5000-students-admitted-into-cornell-for-class-of-2027/

[rare kettle]

Does Cornell want LOCIs?

[lofty meadow]

i'm writing one lol

[jovial field]

Yea got it yesterday

[winged glacier]

What else do they want?

In progress spring grades?

[round venture]

LOCI helps!!!

[rare kettle]

I feel like my waitlist chances aren’t good

[round venture]

Not writing one, is definitely not good

[solemn sleet]

that would be correct

[vernal raven]

.4% acceptance rate lol

[winged glacier]

each years waitlist varies, just because last year the waitlist was low doesn’t mean this year it’ll be the same

[solemn sleet]

It’s not gonna magically jump to over 5% in a single year

your chances are still slim

2020: 190/4791 admitted from WL -> 3.96%
2019: 147/3362 admitted from WL -> 4.30%
2018: 164/4546 admitted from WL -> 3.59%

[foggy chasm]

what about specifically for CALs

[solemn sleet]

No official data for CALs on the CDS or anywhere on Cornell site as far as I can see

[tropic scaffold]

good luck WL people!!!

[jovial field]

has registration for this (https://schedule.cornelldays.cornell.edu/) even opened up yet? Also whats the schedule for it look like?

[plain chasm]

i’m still kinda caught up on this

should i join cornell’s waitlist in hopes they give me a better finaid offer that i can have columbia match?

[rare kettle]

How much better can the fin aid get? I would say if it's not that much, then don't cause yourself the extra anxiety.

[plain chasm]

yeah i’m ngl i probably wouldn’t get much more than if i spent that time applying to scholarships

i alr got a large amount of aid from columbia and if i wanted to i could just appeal for more

[rare kettle]

Then I'd say just gallop into the sunset with Columbia

[winged glacier]

nah save the waitlist for me 💀

[lilac island]

Still haven't recovered from the trauma of getting rejected from every single school other than Michigan

[lofty meadow]

there are tens of thousands of people who wish they were in your position at mich

so don't feel traumatized

[wicked saddle]

what trauma

is going on

bruh if you're going to cornell you have no right to say you are traumatized from college apps

its fucking cornell we're talking about here

[plain chasm]

yeah nvm i recalculated columbia aid and it’s insane

i’d be paying $15k/y more for cornell 💀

have fun with your frozen farm

[wary slate]

frozen farm 😭😭

[wicked saddle]

plants grow better when its freezing anyways

[rare kettle]

have fun with your frozen city

[plain chasm]

connecting with the farm animals fr 💀 /lh

[clever nexus]

did anyone get a transfer option from dyson yesterday?

[broken harbor]

Yesterday or Thursday?

[clever nexus]

yesterday

they sent me it in an email and not with my rejection letter

[broken harbor]

Were you waitlisted Thursday?

That’s so weird lol

[clever nexus]

no

[broken harbor]

Well congrats anyways

[clever nexus]

rejected lol. lemme show u

[broken harbor]

TO from dyson is my dream outcome rn (got waitlisted)

Did you email them or anything or did it just come out of the blue?

[late flare]

does cornell fly ppl out? i wanna visit 😭

[clever nexus]

it was in my spam(the to option email)

but for ppl who applied to other schools i’ve seen the TO option in the rejection letter

so this was different

really grateful tho🙏🏽💕

i’m gonna commit to UVA and see how i like it

[broken harbor]

Congrats

[winged glacier]

Is a transfer option better than a waitlist?

Like why do they offer a TO over a WL

[broken harbor]

Way better

[clever nexus]

i might not transfer but then again maybe i won’t

[winged glacier]

Hmm I see

[clever nexus]

yea it’s better

it’s basically guaranteed

[broken harbor]

TO just means they want to accept you just don’t want to increase their AR so you come to Cornell next year

[clever nexus]

as long as u do the grade requirements

[broken harbor]

^

[clever nexus]

no they emailed me

it was just sitting in my spam until i check it last night lol

[broken harbor]

Weird it wasn’t in your letter

[clever nexus]

ikrrr

other schools had it in theirs so idk, i was sure that cornell was the easiest ivy for me to get into so this affirmed it ig

[plain coral]

No sadly

[late flare]

😭😭

i’m prob going to UT anyways

[wicked saddle]

if you mean connecting them you mean abusing hem beaing them then killing them for their meat I'm all for it

this is real

i love abusing cows

[wicked saddle]

out of 7 cornell admits 4 are turning cornell down for ut c s b or turing c s 😭 i need to convince them to go to cornell w/ me

[late flare]

i didn’t even apply for honors 🤣

austin just a better vibe

i’m just trying to make them lower the cost

if they don’t, cornell might be a possibility who knows

[wicked saddle]

is ut oos

if its oos ut does NOT give scholarships lol

in state you could apply for forty acres

[wicked saddle]

apparently to's are mainly given to ny students

[plain chasm]

🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

[cedar crescent]

id bet its cause they dont want their acceptance rate to go up, on my waitlist letter it said that there were over 68000 applicants, and if you do the 4994 accepted divided by those 68000, then you get the same 7.3% acceptance rate, so it might be kinda cynical to say, but I bet they simply did not want their acceptance rate to go up and look bad on their stats, so they accepted less students than they did last year because they got fewer applications

[plain chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/4k-caught-gif-20353888

[wicked saddle]

because cornell contract colleges have to admit a certain amount of new york students but they always fail every year

so to's are their way of ensuring they meet the quota

[wicked saddle]

no its because yield went up

[plain chasm]

so like

tos mainly in state waitlist oos?

[clever nexus]

i am from ny!!!

[wicked saddle]

the "specialty schools" (arch/cals/hotel/ilr) always had insanely high yield, but now even dyson/a&s/eng have increasing yield

so they don't need to accept as many students

[cedar crescent]

they can't tell yield for this year till people actually accept though, yield has been steadily increasing over the years, but the accepted number of students hasn't matched the expected increase in yield as you are arguing for this year, so respectfully I disagree

[wicked saddle]

two decades ago cornell eng had like a 20% yield lmao

[cedar crescent]

yeah and i said its been going up

[wicked saddle]

to put that in perspective cornell agriculture (cals) had an 70% yield and hotel had close to 90%

[cedar crescent]

20 years ago?

wow

didnt know that

[wicked saddle]

the specialty schools always had insane yield because they were always the best in the world in their respective specialty

that's why they're specialty schools

if you really want to do hotel management theres only three schools in the US that offers it

so no wonder cornell hotel has 90% yield

[broken harbor]

Rip

[late flare]

in state, they cover my tuition so i only have to pay for housing

roughly $13.5k

cornell covers tuition + room and board so i only have to pay meal plan , $7k

[wicked saddle]

damn go cornell bruh

they are never gonna make your rent lower

unless you qualify for full housing assistance or 40 acres

[open glen]

Arch isn’t just part of CAS?

I thought it was in CAS not it’s own school

@wicked saddle are you IS

[wicked saddle]

in state to what

cornell?

no

[long oak]

does cornell offer TOs to ppl who dont get in through waitlist

[uneven leaf]

Does anyone know if Cornell ships out acceptance packages?

[solemn sleet]

Why is cornL taking so long with aid

[wicked saddle]

why would they voluntarily give something away for free

this is cornell we're talking about here

you pay for everything

[plain chasm]

subtle flex but

my finaid and columbia acceptance package came the day after i got admitted

[solemn sleet]

My yale and harvard ones were ready the day of acceptance

CornL is just slow I guess

😒

[plain chasm]

they gotta ship it off the farm

[solemn sleet]

Facts

[plain chasm]

they pick it from the garden

wash it off

and then horse and buggy it to the mail office

[solemn sleet]

watch it still be garbage compared to the others lol

💀

[plain chasm]

farm fresh 💯

i’m waiting on my alumni package from columbia

[solemn sleet]

They better genetically modify it to make it thicc

[plain chasm]

the shirt + keychain and stuff

[solemn sleet]

😳

Columbia campus is hot

at least the pics you sent today were

This solos though 😄 (ok, the campus doesn’t but i need to pretend it does)

[solemn sleet]

oh my

🥹🥹

There’s no way that’s real

IT HAS TO BE A PAINTING

[plain chasm]

it is real

come visit me

and then we can have pokeworks at harvard!

man i love harvard pokeworks

or like mother juice or smth

[solemn sleet]

I’ll try

that campus so hot

sheesh

I should’ve applied

[solemn sleet]

Pokeworks?

[plain chasm]

yes they have a poke bowl place

[solemn sleet]

Oh, it’s food

[plain chasm]

yeah

[solemn sleet]

I thought you were talking about Pokémon’s or something I was like what

[plain chasm]

also when ur on campus you have to say hi to my aunt pls she’ll be at orientation 😭

[solemn sleet]

FR?

[plain chasm]

i think she’s a speaker

yeah she’s a dean

[solemn sleet]

😳😳😳😳

WHAT

lol

I gotchu

[open glen]

Bruh had the faculty connection and couldn’t get in

[plain chasm]

💀

1. i get no legacy from my “aunt” (she’s not my aunt, just a gen above me in my family), and doesn’t work in admissions.. knowing a faculty doesn’t give you any boost.
2. i honestly think i’m going to be way happier at columbia, which isn’t making my family pay $40k/y

[open glen]

Columbia isn’t the best school ever

[plain chasm]

😔 so untrue! we are kind and clever and have a ups store 3 minutes away

[open glen]

I literally visited campus

The UPS store was 5 min away

They lied

[solemn sleet]

Columbia kids walk faster than you cause they’re better

[open glen]

And they weren’t kind

[open glen]

😢lies

[vernal raven]

Columbia sends a shirt??

[plain chasm]

yes!

[daring siren]

More singles for me 😍

[vernal raven]

Every ivy expect penn has a cool acceptance package

We get mini flags

[daring siren]

I'm kidna disappointed in Cornell admususons giving like 0 fks about enticing students though tiny shit

[vernal raven]

We dont get our merch until admitted student days and orientation

[daring siren]

Oh well

[plain chasm]

we get a pennant

[daring siren]

Prolly just dont need it

School stands on its own 😍

[plain chasm]

this is the admitted package for columbia

u order ur shirt

and the rest of the stuff comes later

[daring siren]

Dang

[vernal raven]

Thats what i meant

[vernal raven]

U guys get free shirts???

[daring siren]

oh yeah thats nice

bu tlike after ed

these guys

gave 0 fks

[plain coral]

cornell better have equally cute stickers.

it probably doesnt

but its ok

i love him anyways

[open glen]

@plain coral you got COE?

[plain coral]

yeah

[open glen]

W

So you going to Cornell?

[vernal raven]

Bme?

[plain coral]

mhm

[plain coral]

thats what i applied under

but i can declare anything

[vernal raven]

What do u plan on declaring

[plain coral]

end of firstyear ish/start of sophomore

im leaning towards biological engineering tho

[vernal raven]

Idk if this is a dumb question but how is that diff from bme

[plain coral]

uhh tbh i dont even know

but it allows me to take electives

and covers more premed stuff

[vernal raven]

U wanna medschool?

[plain coral]

mhm

[vernal raven]

Whaaa

Why eng then i feel like that would be so much harder than just bio or premed

[solemn sleet]

She likes hard things

[vernal raven]

…

You have such a way with words ✨

[nova fulcrum]

yes, they made $5 million revenue from application fees (66k applications, $80 each), that can cover their marketing costs and student trips to campus

[jovial field]

ut turing from ur hs?

[solar anvil]

got into berk eecs and gtech cs but cornell rejected my ass

[vernal raven]

Less than that bc of fee waivers

[short vortex]

do i have to commit first to get an accepted student package? cuz im still waiting for financial aid to come out

[plain chasm]

you don’t

i’d call them abt finaid unless you submitted impossibly late

i submitted columbia finaid late and got mine the day after

[short vortex]

i submitted in jan, ill wait till the end of the week but ill def call after that. tysm!

[clever nexus]

yea it’s selective and yea😕

TRUEEE

i may or may not transfer but at least i get to go out of NY for a year

😭

[solemn sleet]

Lucy impostor

[wicked saddle]

they probably give it to less than 2% of students

keep in mind only half of the colleges use guaranteed transfer

and those colleges give around 5% of applicants guaranteed transfer

[wicked saddle]

yes

[jovial field]

Sheesh

[wicked saddle]

we had 6 turing, 4 csb, and probably 20+ canfield bhp. I got in plan 2 and idk how many others did it but if I had to guess quite a lot

[solemn sleet]

same

not sure why they’re so slow

bad school perhaps

[plain chasm]

frozen farm

[daring siren]

Rip

[nova fulcrum]

why'd they consider ut cs (or ut cs turing) better option than cornell cs?

[nova fulcrum]

hmm still a lot of $$ - somewhere btw 4-5million

[solemn sleet]

This is the only logical explanation left

[late flare]

seems more fun
similar ranking
close to home
weather is nicer/ not cold

[rare kettle]

For LOCI do I just submit to the portal? I can't find an AO name.

Also could someone here read my LOCI? There's a lot riding on this man...

[daring siren]

That's not true

2000 Cornell eng was40%

Not tis like 68%

In 2022 so prolly 70%

Now

[wary slate]

I just sent to both the portal, and then emailed the primary admissions officer for the school I applied to in case it was easier for them to add it to the file there

[nova fulcrum]

are you in-state texas?

[marsh musk]

What date should LOCI be submitted

[devout leaf]

yea but out of state people can get in-state tuition after a year

there are some weird rules with texas residency

[marsh musk]

I have an international competition coming up late April

u think April 26 is too late to submit to

it

[nova fulcrum]

really? i didn't know.. how does that work?

[wicked saddle]

Tbf turing does not give better job outcomes

The rest I agree with

They're around the same

[devout leaf]

median salary + placements at quants is better at turing afaik

[wicked saddle]

That's not true, it's just turing ppl tend to be more cracked

And they have a lot of research experience due to mandatory research paper, etc

Most quants are becoming more and more school agnostic so name recognition of college matters a lot less now than it did 10 years ago

I did manage to convince 2 students to commit to Cornell over ut cs

[rare kettle]

can someone read my LOCI?

[late flare]

would you go if cornell was $4000 cheaper 🤣

i don’t know where to go 😭😭😭

internships seem better in austin, but jobs are better at cornell it seems like

[late flare]

yeah

[devout leaf]

if you can, tour both places to see which one u vibe w more

[late flare]

i would definitely like the atmosphere at UT more, but cornell in the long run just seems better

i’m torn 😭

[devout leaf]

also depends what jobs u are aiming for, i think austin has a better startup culture compared to cornell, but u can get faang from either

research is better at cornell given that its smaller and has more individualized resources

[late flare]

submitted a financial aid appeal and if UT knocks it down a little, i’ll probably go

currently, cornell is $4000 cheaper

[devout leaf]

i would recommend going cornell if its cheaper, but gl on the appeal

[solemn sleet]

Did y’all get your finaid package yet or does it still say inquiry access denied?

I submitted my fin aid stuff in like January so not sure if this is normal or not

[late flare]

thanks 🙏

[late flare]

are you using the correct link

oh wait you probably are

idk that’s weird

i would call them

[empty raptor]

Anyone know when we can get our netIDs and apply for housing?

[candid notch]

guys i got waitlisted for cornell, but does anyone know if there's a discord server

[lofty meadow]

My friend, I think this is the place. But please, let me know if you do find something else lol

[empty raptor]

I got an invite to one, I can DM it to u if u want

Do we have to enroll before we can get our netIDs?

[short vortex]

same

[silent kraken]

does cornell rescind transfer options?

[wicked saddle]

girl go to cornell

UT? one letter away from UTI

[jovial field]

👀

[plain coral]

Abt a week

[plain coral]

Yes

[plain coral]

I ahve an invite to one

Oh its the same one

[idle nexus]

Did Cornell send out acceptance packages yet

Might’ve thrown out the acceptance letter if they did

[solemn sleet]

Not sure if they even have any acceptance packages

but I didn’t get one and I live in NY so I’m assuming no

[idle nexus]

ic

[turbid kettle]

I think someone said in the Discord that A&S has a decent package with a flag, stickers, bag, other stuff

[silent kraken]

still no financial aid status from cornell?

[solemn sleet]

same

says inquiry access denied

[silent kraken]

😔

[vernal raven]

its a sign

commit penn rn

[wicked saddle]

what college

some colleges give none

[uneven leaf]

they better

did any EDs get packages

[turbid kettle]

I believe they send out all of them after RD acceptances

[uneven leaf]

ah ok

[long oak]

how long before too late to submit loci

[vernal raven]

Submit literally asap

There is no exact date

[solemn sleet]

I doubt they read them before May 1st

They need a little break + need to see how many people enrolled

but send whenever you can

[vernal raven]

Dont listen to him he doesnt know what hes talking about

[solemn sleet]

[crimson vortex]

submitted my loci :))

everyone manifest for me

[late flare]

yesm

[wicked saddle]

depends on school tbh, if you're doing architecture or ag or hotel then don't bother they don't really accept waitlists (their yield is above 80%) but arts (yield=60%?) and ESPECIALLY engineering (yield=40%) accepts a lot

[naive grove]

Cornell eng yield is 40?

No offense but source?

Didn't even apply eng but that just seems crazy low to me

It's easily the strongest ivy for engineering

Also, I'm planning to do CS at arts and sciences, is that worse than engineering in any way? I've just been under the assumption it doesn't matter much from an employment perspective etc, but yeah.

[vernal raven]

Prolly just easier

And the difference is like a BA vs BS, basically no difference

[daring siren]

Bro again

Where r u gettibg the numbers

[daring siren]

There's a page

https://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/university-factbook/undergraduate-admissions

@plain coral can u pin this

[daring siren]

Ur numbers are like completely off

Eng is 66%

[daring siren]

Just think about it

Entering populwtiok of 800/3.5k

If you assume like average of 69% which is what it was last year

Like no school has above 85% yield

40 wouldn't make sense

Chi squared moment??

[naive grove]

Yeah it sounded like cap

[daring siren]

Lol

[daring siren]

When's that question maek gonna go away 😉

Join the 66% 💪🏼💪🏼

[naive grove]

Unfortunately I can't cus im CAS admit

And idk I'm kinda considering between northwestern and Cornell rn

[daring siren]

😕

[daring siren]

Double check with a student

But I'm pretty sure you can switch around pretty easily

Even tho it's technically separated it's still an ivy

https://internaltransfer.cornell.edu/

[wicked saddle]

Cornell website

[wicked saddle]

Maybe I'm wrong but those were the numbers I found

Tbh I am probably wrong

[plain coral]

Internal transfer to coe is hard but not impossible
Same with dyson
Cas to anything else (other than above) is easy

[crimson zodiac]

for uh which major

[daring siren]

I pinned the static’s numbers

[junior marsh]

you can order a free tee afaik

[junior marsh]

cornell ez if you're doing cs and cost isn't an issue

[solemn sleet]

Got my t-shirt today

but still no financial aid decision

[vernal raven]

Its a sign

Commit to penn

[idle nexus]

Where

[plain coral]

https://admissions.store.cornell.edu/default

[junior marsh]

it's kinda mid but hey it's free

[plain coral]

fr

[idle nexus]

Does Columbia have something like this too

And wb pton and cornell

Oh this is Cornell

I mean brown

[naive grove]

I know its better for CS

but Im wondering if northwestern is good enough that it gets interviewers from big tech companies and stuff anyways

cus I prefer the whole vibe and location of northwestern

[junior marsh]

you can't neglect factors like campus and location afterall, so if you feel like you'd be a better fit there you should definitely choose nw

you surely cant go wrong with either tbh

[naive grove]

my #1 concern is what companies are interested in each school

and I know that they are all interested in cornell

if they are in northwestern too then Id go there

idk

[junior marsh]

you'll have all top companies recruiting from both places

imo it's a close call so you shouldn't base your decision on that

[crimson zodiac]

if you wanna do slightly business related northwestern is not bad

tech related cornell is probably better

[plain coral]

Imo cornell ur aiming not only for better companies but the godly alumni network

Im probs biased cuz ive never researched nwu but cornell seems to have a rlly strong career development initiative

In both undergrad and after graduating you can reach out and be connected with any cornell alum

And if theyre hiring theyll welcome u with open arms (most likely)

[naive grove]

Hm thanks for letting me know

I should do a bit more research on them instead of just mulling around

[jovial field]

how good is cornell alumni network? my parents say alumni networking is overrated

[plain coral]

Apparently very good
Im only saying what my interviewer lady told me (i swear she wasnt biased but she couldve been)
She needed a job and the employer was a cornell grad and basically hired her cuz she was one too
She also has reached out to cornell career development (postgrad) and they set her up with a job/fasttracked her job application with an alum
Her friend needed surgery but the place usually was slow cuz its a hospital but once they realized that she was a cornell grad, they treated her like royalty.
She also said that the whole operating room when she was hospitalized was fully cornell grads
Also she only donates like $5 per year but they reached out to her thanking her and asking if there was anything she needed or smth

[jovial field]

are alumni networks helpful for like smaller companies and startups? would bigger employers like faang even care

[plain coral]

I mean the whole concept is it gets u a reference and/or a contact/connection within the company

And that currently employed person would vouch for u

[jovial field]

idk how much just references even matter past getting an interview

[plain coral]

Well if u bomb the interview thats on u

theyre not gonna hire underqualified just cuz ur an alum

Lol

Thatd be dumb

[hollow tiger]

is the portal supposed to show if you've uploaded a file?

because i uploaded my loci but its not displaying it

[crimson vortex]

this is what mine displays as

[hollow tiger]

alr i'll try to resubmit it ig

thanks

it worked, ig something just didn't work right the first time

[wicked saddle]

i got a intern offer at a fortune 500 company simply because i was cornell (not gonna disclose position) but I'm agriculture and cornell agriculture network is insane

[jovial field]

arent you class of 27

[wicked saddle]

This was by far the worst acceptance package I received

A paper inside an envelope with a sticker and the smallest flag known to mankind

at least we got a shirt (it’s ugly though)

[solemn sleet]

Cornell College of Arts and Scienes

[uneven leaf]
