Cornell University (2023-2024)

[upbeat goblet]

Most colleges don’t require you to send an official score report until you get in

[quiet rock]

i might apply here for ED whats the culture here like

why are people here acting pretentious

[subtle fox]

idk

[ionic belfry]

Wdym

[quiet rock]

the 35 act kid

[upbeat goblet]

People gonna be like that at all the top schools

[quiet rock]

well I have a good sat score but I don't just blurt it out

like commonapp is common sense right

[ionic belfry]

The culture is very work hard play hard here

[quiet rock]

thats fine

[ionic belfry]

You’ll be fine then!

If you have any specific questions always lmk

[tame robin]

Isn’t the average act at top universities like 34

[ionic belfry]

Yuh

[tame robin]

Yeah but I guess I can’t talk sht abt 35 cuz I only got a 34

But yeah aren’t these test scores and gpas kinda like prerequisites for the machine to not just reject u

[ionic belfry]

I’d say so

I had a 34 as well you’re fine

[tame robin]

Thanks 🙂

I just really sucked at English

I maxed math on every standardized test

😔

[candid atlas]

opposite problem

i got really high english stats but flunked the math portions

[ionic belfry]

What’s flunked

[candid atlas]

550 math 😭

[quiet rock]

math is so rigid just study tf

[tame robin]

hi, btw what was the CHF u mentioned?

[empty scroll]

ong bruh wtf is wrong with those ppl

[empty scroll]

where can u find the most baddies

[quiet rock]

if u got the rizz they come to you dummy

[upbeat goblet]

Eastern European colleges imo

[tame robin]

[ionic belfry]

Hedge f and

FUND

[tame robin]

Oh I see

[empty scroll]

u could still do that if ur cs right

with a shit ton of finance exp in hs

[ionic belfry]

Yeah if you get in

[empty scroll]

yk what cornell look for besides the 4 stuff they listed on their website

[ionic belfry]

Admissions or the club lmao

[empty scroll]

admissions

[ionic belfry]

Academics, essays, LORS, ability to contribute on campus

Kinda normal stuff

[quiet rock]

what do you look for at "contribute on campus"

[empty scroll]

im chilling for everything besides the first one

[quiet rock]

ability to not gain 15 pounds on the dining hall? idk

[ionic belfry]

Academics are the most important for any school

[empty scroll]

my gpa is like 0.1 below the avg

[quiet rock]

academics are a meh I got good grades good classes I assume i'll be fine

[ionic belfry]

Getting involved in clubs (from fencing to moot court)

also shows you aren’t a robot

[quiet rock]

well I do a few clubs at school

[empty scroll]

yk whats the avg gpa/sat there

[quiet rock]

uh lemme look at the cds

1520

[empty scroll]

gpa?

not on cds and other sources r kinda unreliable

[quiet rock]

yeah idk

[upbeat goblet]

Look for one of those “asking Cornell students how they got in” videos 💀

Probably the most reliable source about gpa

[crimson oxide]

GPA varries by school tbh

[rich harbor]

engineering goes crazy

[weak valve]

Actually hilarious

[chrome nova]

wild

[rich harbor]

NO WAY AHAHAHAHA

[subtle fox]

💀

[finite lava]

I hate the cocktail lounge so much

LIKE WHY ARE PEOPLE TALKING

[wind oak]

SOCIALIZE BRO

[finite lava]

oh i forgot to mention its a study area

and part of the library

[weak valve]

how loud is noise from the study rooms

like is it actually rlly loud

still

[finite lava]

i had the study room once and I can still hear some people

but i think at that time they were just really loud

im talking about the cocktail lounge itself tho

its always loud every 10 mins

[weak valve]

oh fr

😭

i never use the libraries

rarely use*

[finite lava]

i literally went 2 am yesterday

[weak valve]

that must suck tho

[finite lava]

and it was loud for no reason

[weak valve]

they were probably drunk

[finite lava]

prob

i only go to the libraries bcz cocktail lounge is 24/7

[rich harbor]

that sounds so chill

minus the loud part

[finite lava]

the only problem is that drunk friends come in to visit their friend studying

and it happens quite a bit

i think its better mid day

but i go late at night

[ionic belfry]

Law is best

[lavish marlin]

Hey guys. How could I get a feeling if I am a fit for Cornell?

I know their interdisciplinary structure can help my very curious mind and diverse interest. The life in Ithaca is just beautiful closed off nature which is something I love, although it becomes tough in the winter. That brings me to the challenge of, not only living in Ithaca (as someone who has lived in an urban city all their life), the rigor of courses at Cornell, which are challenges I look forward to facing, as I feel it will build who I am. Diversity of perspectives and the size of the school allows me to exchange ideas and experiences with people from other walks of life, which is something I am looking for having lived in a very "nondiverse" country.

Is there anything else I am missing?

[ionic belfry]

Honestly, it’s hard to tell whether you’re a fit

For me, I didn’t rly get that sense until I started comparing schools I got into

I lived in chicago for a while and was rly scared of cornell being more rural but it rly doesn’t feel like it. Besides obviously not being near a huge city (busses tho). But there’s SM to do at Cornell and you’re gonna be so busy

[weak valve]

Ok so something ive realized abt cornell

In my like 5 weeks

Its huge

Theres no way u dont find a place

Huge in population and area

[prime abyss]

do you guys think a 1490 would be like already bad news for an AO looking at my app. i feel like my gpa and ecs are pretty good

[chrome nova]

whats cornells 25th percentile

[prime abyss]

uhhh sources vary

[chrome nova]

yeah u can submit it

[prime abyss]

so idk which to trust

[prime abyss]

whered you find this

[chrome nova]

youre like 35th percentile ish

[candid atlas]

cds

[chrome nova]

cornell common data set

cornell cds to be short

[prime abyss]

oh i see

[chrome nova]

every college is required ot have this

legally

theres a lot of info of it

[prime abyss]

is this like guaranteed bad news ? its like my own bad detail i feel

[chrome nova]

doenst mean its bad, but its not gonna be the thing thats gonna make a large difference in getting u in

like ur grades can offset ecs slightly

but here ur ecs need to offset ur grades SLIGHTLY

so it doesnt matter

[prime abyss]

wdym here?

[chrome nova]

basically some people have like test scores to offset their grades to show their intellgience

[prime abyss]

i see

but for me its like the other way around

[chrome nova]

mhm

[prime abyss]

that works

thank you

[subtle fox]

wdym

[finite lava]

Test scores don’t offset gpa

[chrome nova]

it was an example thingy

gpa is held in much higher regard

[finite lava]

Yea If anything gpa offsets test score

Not the other way around

But I get the point

[chrome nova]

just needed to like explain it in the easy way ya know

[prime abyss]

yay

[finite lava]

also i think one of the colleges at cornell doesnt take scores

[prime abyss]

i cant remember which one it is but i remember this

[finite lava]

im in engineering so dont ask me 😄

engineering is test opt

tho

[prime abyss]

im in sciences so i think its opt but im going to send

[finite lava]

idk

[prime abyss]

yeah just checked

opt

[finite lava]

if u arent above 50% or at 50%

idk abt sending

up to u tho

[prime abyss]

i also dont want them thinking i went optional bc i had a 1200

and if you opt they scrutinize everything a bit more since they have less to look at

so i think its fine for me

ill debate it but i will more likely send than not send

[ionic belfry]

@weak valve I’m alive

[weak valve]

YAY

im at rppccc

[ionic belfry]

IT WAS SO FUN BRO

and there was fun stuff

How’s the food at rpcc

[cobalt cypress]

anyone know why there is no data for ACT on cornell CDS

it all just says n/a

besides composite i mean

[weak valve]

Good

[mental oasis]

I feel so stupid

I know damn well that i will be rejected from cornell but I am keep giving hope for it

[rich harbor]

I felt like I have a good chance before learning that someone from my same school is EDing Cornell Engineeirng too

[mental oasis]

I dont even know where people are eding in my school

I just hope no one eds cornell lmao

[ionic belfry]

People def will

Don’t focus on that

[outer jolt]

Dyson is Test blind

[ionic belfry]

Dyson and Nolan and brooks

[upbeat goblet]

Nooooo

[ionic belfry]

What’s up?

[upbeat goblet]

1600 sat was the only way I was gonna make up for my trash gpa

[ionic belfry]

What school?

Technically you could include on resume but it’s iffy

[upbeat goblet]

The business schools

Debating which one to apply to

[lavish marlin]

What if I am in an international American school that doesnt offer any APs or Honors, but I have shown putting in effort in harder university level courses, and have a SAT cornell would deem good for their purposes? I have a 4.0 UW, but I dont feel like it holds weight because of not having those rigorous courses...

[ionic belfry]

Oo lmk if you have any questions

[frigid anchor]

brooks????

wait seriously?

[ionic belfry]

I thought Is it not?

[frigid anchor]

i think it is test optional cals is test blind

[ionic belfry]

Oh I was thinking of AAP

[subtle fox]

isn't cas optional

[upbeat vortex]

Whats the main thing that admissioj officers look for on applicants for cornell

[upbeat goblet]

GPA & Classes

Extracurriculars

[vapid mica]

course rigor

[crimson oxide]

What if your school doesn't do rank

(I'm assuming they would estimate?)

[chrome nova]

GPA is the most important thing first

Then it’s like essays and ECs

[vapid mica]

just look at cds

[upbeat goblet]

Then it’s fine

[lavish marlin]

Does it hurt my chances if there is no AP courses or Honors offered at my school, yet I get a 4.0?

[chrome nova]

They read ur grades in the context of ur school

If they’re not offered they don’t care

[lavish marlin]

Great to hear!

[languid cairn]

Dyson admission is different from hotel adminstration right

[ionic belfry]

Yuh

[upbeat goblet]

Very

[eager acorn]

what is admission to brooks like

[ionic belfry]

Oo which program in brooks

[eager acorn]

i think i'll apply healthcare policy 😊

or public policy but i'm leaning towards healthcare

[ionic belfry]

Iconic

[eager acorn]

thank youuu

what do you study?

[ionic belfry]

I’m a hotelie

[eager acorn]

oh SERIOUSLY

thats so cool

legend

i love hotel admin

[ionic belfry]

AHH thx

[eager acorn]

yesss

hows hotel admin? are you taking super fun classes?

what do you want to do in terms of careers when you graduate?

[ionic belfry]

Honestly pretty hard

I’m pre law

Thinking corporate rn but also love labor/constitutional

[eager acorn]

oh cool!

[weak valve]

helloo

[weak valve]

whatd u do for fall break btw

[merry widget]

hey how's the nightlife in cornell/ithaca? doesnt have to just be parties and clubs but alos restaurants, events, etc..

[weak valve]

Restaurants tend to close by 10:30 or 11

[merry widget]

thanks, are they usually busy? also how is it during wintere?

[weak valve]

Not rlly busy

Can never be busy

Idk bro i j got here wdym how is it in winter

Stores dont close seasonally

😭

[merry widget]

oh you just got there

oh i meant like hows the wetaher

sry for being unclear

[weak valve]

Cold

[ionic belfry]

Anything in specific? It’s p solid but not crazy

Already kinda cold tho

[merry widget]

idk not relaly anything in specific i just want to know if people go out normally, will ithaca be kinda empty or will businesses be full

[ionic belfry]

People go out every night

Ctown is packed more so than the commons

[merry widget]

alright cool thank you!

[ionic belfry]

@mental oasis

Ok I figured I’d respond to you here

So it’s defer cornell, wash u ed2 vs reject cornell, boston ed2?

[empty scroll]

whats it at rn

[ionic belfry]

49

Just windy

[empty scroll]

damn thats cold

is there anything fun to do in general

[ionic belfry]

Yeah lots

[empty scroll]

yk anything abt ppl in cs or anyone from coe there

[ionic belfry]

One of my best friends is cs in coe

Basically everyone is cs lmao

[mental oasis]

Yes, that is correct.

[ionic belfry]

Why?

Why would defer/reject change where you Ed 2

[mental oasis]

Cause deffered means u had more chance of being accepted than those who were rejected

Like not a literal meaning

But it can be intrepreted that way

Washu is harder to get in than BU in my opinion

So if def Washu and rejected, BU

[ionic belfry]

Yes but no

@weak valve back me up here

You can’t base your entire perception of if you’re a good candidate or not on what ONE school says

Defer vs reject is such a small difference sometimes too

I would go with the washu route either way, since you have ea schools you like more than boston

[mental oasis]

Ah

Reasonable

Okay thanks

[empty scroll]

how they doing

[finite lava]

alot of the intro classes are just weed out classes rn

but if u know how to study than u will be fine

averages tend to be a b- to A-

for most classes

for coe

[ionic belfry]

Good!

At a karaoke party with them rn

[weak valve]

Im in bme coe

[finite lava]

im also coe for electrial and computer eng

and im not doing too bad

got an A on my multi midterm and a b

for physics

[empty scroll]

midterm wtf?

didnt your school just start

[ionic belfry]

Prelims

It’s constant

And 2 months ago lol

[vapid mica]

yo no way, do you know what smith is like?

[finite lava]

i just say midterm bcz no one knows wat a goddamn pre lim is

[weak valve]

The prof?

Or

Idk wym by that so probably not sorry

[weak valve]

No fr then ppl get mad that i call it a midterm cuz its not in the middle

[finite lava]

i hate it

so i just swtich to midterm or an exam

[weak valve]

Exam is lowkey too downplayed

Its like 25% of ur game

Grade

[finite lava]

yea

[vapid mica]

have you checked out the facilities and stuff? i assume you arent actually taking any related courses with it rn

[weak valve]

I have not

Engineering quad is the death of me

Why is it so far

[empty scroll]

what did you guys write for why coe essay

[weak valve]

I wrote a classic why us essay

[vapid mica]

what's even the point of a why us when you're applying ed

[upbeat goblet]

why r u applying ED

[vapid mica]

bcuz i <3 cornell

[upbeat goblet]

why tho

[empty scroll]

cuz bro loves cornell

[upbeat goblet]

it’s cold, depressing, and in the middle of nowhere

So what do you like about it

[vapid mica]

big, very diverse

honestly so many options, and a lot of support for entrepreneurship

[upbeat goblet]

Looks like that’s what your why us essay is going to be about

[vapid mica]

also a lot of hiking

love going outdoors and touching grass

[upbeat goblet]

But you can do that at any college

[vapid mica]

the natural beauty of new york is not to be underestimated

[upbeat goblet]

Still hundreds of colleges in New York

[vapid mica]

also a specific competing team for the major im interested specifically

which was definitely not expected

[upbeat goblet]

Yeah you can put that

[vapid mica]

thank you for the permission

[upbeat goblet]

Actually don’t

Get yourself rejected

[vapid mica]

💀

[upbeat goblet]

I got a friend applying and maybe his dumbass takes your spot

[vapid mica]

aight bro lets go stat for stat rn

[upbeat goblet]

nah gn

[finite lava]

yall are dif

[vapid mica]

dk what their problem was

[wind oak]

How is biomedical engineering at Cornell

How’s the relationship with Weill?

How’s research and shadowing physicians as an bme major

How hard is being in the college of engineering and taking premed classes?

I’ll appreciate responses 🥹

[weak valve]

Theres a club that u apply for acceptance that connects u with weill med mentors

But its for premed

[weak valve]

Like

Very

Bme premed very hard at corn

Bme at corn is not made for premed its made to be bme

Its not even like

Accredited yet

😭

Bio eng has more premed classes than bme

Ik lots of ppl doing bme premed tho

But they r highkey struggling

I was gonna but im choosing premed and internaling to a&s

[upbeat goblet]

Y don’t colleges just make a premed Major it makes no sense

90% of bio and bme applicants are prob premed anyways

[wind oak]

Damn😭😭😭

[wind oak]

BME premed yes, would that work?

[wind oak]

How does this work?😭

[wind oak]

Oh wow even Jae wants to change 😭😭😭

Thank you so much J

[frigid anchor]

wait i gotta question

so i wanted to ed to brooks

butttt my parents didnt rlly want me to

and i was wondering how i could show my interest in cornell?

sucks cause ed was the only way to show commitment but oh well 💀

[ionic belfry]

Rly good essays

Align yourself well ec wise

Get supp lors

You can email regional ap but meh

[weak valve]

yeah WIN (Weill-Ithaca Network) is for premeds

regardless of major

my friend j got accepted

i didnt apply

[weak valve]

idk

its kinda a known thing that at universities, bme is either heavily premed or its very much not and u have to choose between premed and bme

if u want to be bme premed, you will be taking like 142 credits

over 8 semesters

maybe less if u have math credit

and english/language/humanities credit

but you will do full tracks of bio, chem, physics, and math

me personally as much as i enjoy math and phys and whatever i know i cant handle all of that and i def prioritize premed

[crimson oxide]

How's bio sciences for premed (planning on applying for CALS)

[wind oak]

This is meee and I was thinking I’d be able to handle 😭

[ionic belfry]

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

[languid cairn]

Dyson will not even take a glance at my sat score if i submit it?

[ionic belfry]

Correct

[upbeat goblet]

Super cringe imo

[languid cairn]

wild

[upbeat goblet]

Is Dyson acceptance rate really lower than Wharton

Damn 💀

What about if you ED

[languid cairn]

Dyson gets like 160ish students each year and 10% of the whol student population is intl students. By this logic they accept like at most 20 intl students all across the globe. Looks quite slim chance for me but im ED ing anyways

I actually even doubt if anyone ever from my country has ever went to Dyson as undergrad 💀

[upbeat goblet]

Gl

[ionic belfry]

You got this!

[weak valve]

Basic bitch major for premeds

Doesnt mean its any less good tho

Humec is more premed than cals but cals bio is also very premed

[weak valve]

Its ultimately your decision
You can do what i did and apply eng and decide after looking into stuff but

Common bme W

[frigid anchor]

thanks riley ❤️

[wind oak]

Where’s this?

[wind oak]

Thanks Jae
Y’all so supportive 😭🙏❤️

[weak valve]

Its weill hall

A building like only for bme

[wind oak]

Crazyyyy
Unlimited research🙏

[ionic belfry]

Bc you got this

[finite lava]

I despise project teams

[rich harbor]

why

they sound very cool

project teams in general or a specific one

[ionic belfry]

Usuallt just a crap ton of work

[drifting hill]

i hate cornells supps

two of them are basically the same

no theyre not im just being dramatic

but like the shape your perspective vs the cals impact your community

I WANNA WRITE ABT THE SAME EVENT BUT I KNOW I SHOULDNT

[finite lava]

na project teams advertise no experience needed but during interviews they give u technical problems to solve, which most freshman havent learned yet

[rich harbor]

ahhhh that's stupid

false advertisement

[weak valve]

lol my friend got an interview of just riddles

interview questions fr were like

a truck driver is going the wrong way down a one way street

and passes 10 cops

why wasnt he stopped

😭

[thorny violet]

This is so real, I spent over 6 hours trying to draft the 350-word essay 😭 The 200-word one I finished in less than an hour

What major are you going for in CALS? Fellow CALS applicant 👍

[rich harbor]

because he wasn't driving a truck at the time AHAHAHA

[finite lava]

that is crazy. I had to explain digitial logic and circuits

[rich harbor]

as in and or not nand nor xor xnor?

[finite lava]

kinda

[weak valve]

id never be able to answer those riddles on the spot

ig im not made for engineering

😭

[finite lava]

Awake at 4 am is crazy

[empty scroll]

bruh what time do you guys go to class

[weak valve]

i think i just witnessed my friend

do a walkj of shame

[weak valve]

9amish

usually earlier

sometimes later

[finite lava]

I have a 9 am today

As well

[weak valve]

my MW is 8:40am

my F is 9am

[finite lava]

But I have insomnia

So yea

[weak valve]

my T is 9am and my Th is 11:15am

[finite lava]

Life is great rn

[weak valve]

i was up at 2:40 and my 9am is a class i cannot miss

[finite lava]

Oh that’s fair

[weak valve]

[finite lava]

I haven’t slept for 36 hours

[weak valve]

[finite lava]

So we will see how long I last

[weak valve]

💪

[finite lava]

Yep

[weak valve]

my friend gave me a plushie and was like go to sleep

[weak valve]

😎

#scammer

[finite lava]

I should just go to the cocktail lounge and just start doing work

Since i can’t sleep

[weak valve]

im in a dorm lounge

[finite lava]

Oh nice

But your dorm lounge is prob way nicer

Than Dickson

[weak valve]

😭

dickson seems like it has nice study sopaces

im sure its quiet rn

[finite lava]

Well 5th floor is usually awake to 2-3 am

So idk

Maybe now

[finite lava]

Wait that’s actually nice

[weak valve]

oh 💀

our floors r like

40 ppl per floor

[finite lava]

That’s not bad

[weak valve]

so usually ppl r asleep and even if they arent, theres big lounge on top floor

[finite lava]

I think we have 70 per floor ☠️

[weak valve]

my friend lives in dickson

isnt it like

[finite lava]

It ain’t the best

[weak valve]

one bathroomper gender per floor

😭

[finite lava]

Yes

The things I heard from the female bathroom

[weak valve]

oh no

[finite lava]

Is quite crazy imo

I rather not talk abt it

But since I’m bored

There was this one girl that told the whole Dickson group chat with guys including myself that there was a girl who left chunks of her period in one of the showers

LIKE WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW THAT

[weak valve]

um

[finite lava]

I lost my appetite for the day

[weak valve]

tmi fr

also it usually

washes down the drain

😭

[finite lava]

Yes but still

The guys did not need to be informed of this

[weak valve]

lmao

what major r u again

[finite lava]

ECE

[weak valve]

oh

[finite lava]

Not too bad rn

But than again I’m just taking gen ed

oh

what the ufck

[finite lava]

It ain’t too great

Ik

Wat a way to start the week

[weak valve]

😭

[finite lava]

Yes….

Wait that is lucky af

I’m so glad we don’t have this next sem too

[weak valve]

im so excited

to choose classes for next sem

[finite lava]

I am too

[weak valve]

not for the classes themselves

but to choose them

and make it look pretty

[finite lava]

I finally start my major classes

[weak valve]

and fangirl over my schedule

[finite lava]

That is fair

[weak valve]

i remain in premed classes

😭

[finite lava]

Oh I forgot

[weak valve]

im bme but

im fullsending this internal transfer

so hard

that if i get rejected

[finite lava]

Oh god

[weak valve]

im so fucked

ill have to take like

[finite lava]

U have to take so many more cress

[weak valve]

engri, math, physics, physics lab

and cs

[finite lava]

Creds

[weak valve]

fall of sophomore year

[finite lava]

What physics

[weak valve]

to affiliate

if i get rejected from internal

id be in 1112 + 1110

💀

im so behind

[finite lava]

Oh have fun

[weak valve]

LMFAO

i need internal to work out

so i can take 2207

instead of 1112

[finite lava]

1112 +1110 is killing me rn

So have fun

[weak valve]

yeah

i

made a mockup of my schedule

with that in it

that monstrosity

nope

[finite lava]

Somehow it’s not a 5 credit course

[weak valve]

😭

[finite lava]

There’s no way that combo of class is 3 lectures, a lab, and 2 discussions

[wind oak]

Bruhh 😭😭😭

[finite lava]

I should’ve tried harder in my Ap classes

[weak valve]

that should be 6 cred???

per simple math?

wtf

[finite lava]

Yes….

[weak valve]

😭

wait i need to lloook at winter sem classes

[finite lava]

Yea

[weak valve]

theres only 26

https://classes.cornell.edu/search/roster/WI24?q=&acadCareer[]=UG&days-type=any&crseAttrs-type=any&breadthDistr-type=any&pi=

[finite lava]

My only enjoyable class rn is finance

[weak valve]

😭

[weak valve]

💀

said like a true eng major

😭

[finite lava]

I’m almost done with my business minor tho

bruh why r 80% of the winter classes for business ppl

[finite lava]

3/4 of the way

Oh I have no clue

cuz my mom is willing to pay and kcl has a godly premed offering for study abroad

[weak valve]

not dublin

not australia

[finite lava]

Oh ig

[weak valve]

or prague i assume

im applying to london

cuz premed

[finite lava]

If i remember they only fill liberal studies for me tho

[weak valve]

why tf r none of the engineering gen reqs offered in winter

[weak valve]

aw that sucks

[finite lava]

Yeah it wouldn’t be worth it for me

[weak valve]

like cs 1110 hello?

[finite lava]

If I wanna graduate on time

I think there is cs 1110

It’s just not added yet

[weak valve]

https://sce.cornell.edu/courses/roster?ses=Winter

oh

[finite lava]

And it’s prob something with like professors needing to resign contracts

[weak valve]

imagine taking

ur pe credit

during winter sem

💀

[finite lava]

Wait

Are u staying for the winter?

[weak valve]

no

u cant

[finite lava]

Oh

[weak valve]

u have to pay like 5k

[finite lava]

Wait why aren’t u looking for spring sem classes

Than

Why are u looking for winter

[weak valve]

cuz

credits

out of the way'

more freedom

also fun

also my parents would pay

[finite lava]

So u are taking winter session courses?

[weak valve]

also i have nothing else for winter

[finite lava]

Oh

[weak valve]

i hope so

[finite lava]

Fair

[weak valve]

at least i think my parents would pay

maybe not after dropping like 1k on an ipad

[finite lava]

iPad is nice th

Very worth

[weak valve]

👀

[finite lava]

iPad + apple pen+ paper like screen protector

Oh

Enrollment is so soon

[weak valve]

yep

all of the above!!

idk which class i want to take

CLASS 1692 Biomedical Terminology
COGST 1112 Change-making: Designing Healthy and Hospitable Environments
PSYCH 2750 Introduction to Personality

[finite lava]

Introduction to personality kinda sounds interesting

Imo

[weak valve]

yaa

ive normally seen that as a semestercourse

it could be super heavy

hmm

[finite lava]

But biomedical terminology might be a better backup for u atleast

Idk

[weak valve]

cogst and psych would go towards credits for major

cuz im transferring into that

hopefully

[finite lava]

🤞

[weak valve]

💀 everyday

LMFAO

[finite lava]

Oh do u know how many credits I can take in summer

Tf

Na that is deadly

8:30 am is rough

[weak valve]

winter session max is one class

[finite lava]

Wait I can just finish my business minor this summer than

[weak valve]

just remember it costs like

1.5k

per credit

LMFAO

[finite lava]

That’s fine

I only have 3 more credits

Or 4.5*

Plus I can take it at my local state school and transfer the credit

[weak valve]

im not keeping track of that stuff yet idk

im just tryna make sure i get all premed boxes checked

[finite lava]

Yea that’s fair

[finite lava]

Your goal seems way harder than mine

[weak valve]

made this b4 registering for fall 23 classes

so prolly a bit diff

😭

[finite lava]

I despise chem

Have fun tho!

[weak valve]

bro

i crushed that chem prelim

i made it my bitch

[finite lava]

LOL

I heard it was hard

Time constraint wise

[weak valve]

it was easy but 19 pages

yeah

LOL

41 questions

in 90 min

[finite lava]

Yikes

[weak valve]

mean was a 58%

[finite lava]

That sounds horrendous

Wtf

[weak valve]

standard deviation was

[finite lava]

Is up with the chem department

[weak valve]

23 points out of 116

[finite lava]

Na that’s disgusting

[weak valve]

idk ngl

i was mad after the test but seeing my score

[finite lava]

Imagine studying so hard to get a 58%

[weak valve]

i think i prefer easy test with shitload of Qs

than a hard one with like 5 impossibkle ones

[finite lava]

Yea fair enough

The math 1920 prelim wasn’t as bad as chem

[weak valve]

bro

i bombed

the

math prelim

1910

like low B

[finite lava]

Oh I heard it was bad

[weak valve]

😭

[finite lava]

A low b isn’t bad

Isn’t that the mean?

[weak valve]

i need an A-

[weak valve]

idk theyre not posting anything

abt it

lol

[finite lava]

Usually a low b is the mean

[weak valve]

also lowkey embarrassing if i dont get an A

since ive taken BC calc twice

alrdy

[finite lava]

…..

It’s fine everyone has weaknesses and strengths

I’ve taken physics for 5 years

But here I am again

…..

[weak valve]

lmfao

[finite lava]

I rly hate physics

Or atleast mechanics

[weak valve]

lol

i hate everything

/lh

[finite lava]

Fair enough

[weak valve]

you have 2 days of class

to determine if u like it

for a fullr efun

otherwise u onlhy get 2.5k of ur 5k back

😭

wtf

[finite lava]

Ah hell nah

That’s messed up

Also isn’t the average gpa for engineering students like a 2.9 for freshman year

It’s like crazy low or smth

By graduation I think it’s like 3.4

But 2.9 is low

[weak valve]

omg wait

winter/summer session affects ur gpa

[finite lava]

Yea

[weak valve]

i should def take one then

i feel like its easier

to laser focus one class for 3 weeks

[finite lava]

Uh depends

[weak valve]

lolz

[finite lava]

Idk a prelim basically every week is crazy

[weak valve]

i am getting abover a 3.5

idc what they say

but also the only eng classes im taking this sem are math 1910 and engrg 1050

so

😭

[finite lava]

Well i think it’s possible

[weak valve]

hold up

what

LOl

[finite lava]

Isn’t that basically wat it is

[weak valve]

maybe

[finite lava]

I’m sure there’s exams

And since it’s 3 weeks

I wouldn’t be surprised for 2 exams at least

[weak valve]

true

[finite lava]

Depending on the course ofc

[weak valve]

theres a final

when u get back from break

[finite lava]

Wtf

[weak valve]

it makes sense

[finite lava]

Ig

[weak valve]

SAIDJFKM

THE BIOMED TERM CLASS FULFILLS

HISTORICAL ANALYSIS REQ

FOR A&S

i think

[finite lava]

tf

[weak valve]

thats so nice

lowkey could have 6/10 req courses for dist reqs in a&s done

come may

[ionic belfry]

10 bur meetings earlier usuallt

[hybrid canopy]

cornfield university

[languid cairn]

do u think ED boost is real??

[hybrid canopy]

yes

[upbeat goblet]

Just got a genius idea

I apply to Ithaca college and then sneak into Cornell classes

Genius or no?

[weak valve]

it definitely is

ppl say it seems higher bc of legacy or athletes EDing which is somewhat true but like

its definitely a boost

[elfin creek]

WAITTTTT

when would u come

i didnt know u could apply for study abroad alrdy

[weak valve]

jr spring

im not applying rn

just hoping to apply yk

[elfin creek]

ohhh

wait jr spring so far away .....

[weak valve]

it just fits best cuz im planning on taking less creds that sem anyways so i can work on med school apps

[lavish marlin]

is it true cornell is accepting less eds this yr

tryna ed humec and someone said that theyre gonna defer most applicants lol

[weak valve]

r u instate

oh intl

[lavish marlin]

im from ca

Canada

[weak valve]

oh

[lavish marlin]

but us citizen

so applying 4 aid

[crimson oxide]

lol who

[finite lava]

if anything i think they are just accepting less in general since they gave alot of transfer options these past few years

[flat cobalt]

"What is the highest math class that you will have completed by high school graduation?" I took A-level Mathematics most recently, does anyone know what that falls under?

[frigid anchor]

WHAT

noooo

[frigid anchor]

whats that

[finite lava]

u basically go to one college for a year and than u transfer into cornell

they give u a plan so your transfer will be successful

like what classes to take / how many credits u need at that other college

[frigid anchor]

that sounds amazing

[frigid anchor]

Why do ppl get transfer options?

[finite lava]

not enough room

to admit everyone they want to admit

alot of colleges have this type of thing

ik usc has one

[ionic belfry]

Social transition is the downside

[hybrid canopy]

i would take it tho

idk how many waitlists they do a year

[weak valve]

its an amazing option + nonbinding.

[ionic belfry]

They took 300 off this year

[rich harbor]

that's quite a lot

[ionic belfry]

For sure

300/6000 I think

[hybrid canopy]

not bad

also riley how hard are u partying 💀

[ionic belfry]

Wdym?

[hybrid canopy]

have u gone to any more frat parties

[ionic belfry]

On a Sunday/Monday night?? No
