ed is around like 30 i think

#

hm

cinder thistle
#

Haha no

manic ether
#

meant 20

ionic belfry
cinder thistle
#

It’s like 10-15

#

20 is the school average but I’m pretty sure eng is a solid amount lower

#

Cornell overall admit rate is scuffed because of the npc programs like hotel

manic ether
#

i have pretty good everything so ig i have a fair shot

cinder thistle
#

But the hotelies help fund the school and throw good parties so

#

Symbiotic relationship Ig

manic ether
#

i mean ed is slightly inflated and rd is slightly deflated

#

from what i see

cinder thistle
#

Yeah

manic ether
#

still advantage to apply ed obv but its not like i have zero chance rd

#

and i couldnt ed bc of cost and i like to keep my options open

cinder thistle
#

I mean

#

Ed’s only binding to privates Yk

#

Like I had every public school that was at all good for stem even tho I eded

manic ether
#

yeah but if i got in

#

i couldnt go to any of the publics even if i get mad aid

#

and i was getting NOTHING from cornell npc need based

#

and they have no merit based

languid cairn
#

manic ether

#

i have a low chance at cornell rd but im applying anyways cause essays arent too bad

#

digital mantle
#

yeah if i were to ed i think i would have a very good chance but rd i’m not too sure

digital mantle
manic ether
#

thats the problem, if i EDed and got in i probably would have regretted it

#

or maybe

digital mantle

manic ether
little robin
manic ether
#

only thing we know for sure is + x overall is 20 ish percent

its still higher than pure cs but much, much closer than like crop sciences or something

little robin
manic ether
#

#

32% oos admit rate to statscs is def false

The charge filed against Dai carries a maximum term of 5 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and a term of supervised release of up to 3 years. A defendant’s sentence is imposed by a judge based on the particular statute the defendant is charged with violating, the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other factors.

After looking at Cornell’s Reddit

#

Idk I don’t really like Cornell

#

It sounds like a depressing place

#

But they have a research lab there I’m interested in

ionic belfry
#

Go to side chat

tropic copper
manic ether
#

depressing is a subjective term
even schools defined as “depressing” like cornell and cmu can be fine for some

crimson oxide
#

Northeastern winter much

ionic belfry
tropic copper
#

I hate MA winters

#

But if NEU gives me their National Scholarship then imma prob go there. And if they don't them imma prob go to UMass Amherst

#

So I'm kinda stuck here

crimson oxide
#

It's bearble for me but i'm a little more down south compared to mass

#

that's why I ED2 to Emory

tropic copper
#

I would rather sweat my ass off than be unbearably cold

#

But also my family prefers I apply to schools in the northeast bc they're close enough to drive to

#

I guess travel costs would be high for like a school in Cali

I mean you don’t rly go home that often anyways

tropic copper
#

All Ivies are "near us"

#

Even JHU is drivable

tropic copper
#

I shouldn't limit myself with travel costs then?

ionic belfry
tropic copper
#

Ticket to Cali and back is minimum 1-2k per year tho?

#

Especially if you come back for holidy or parents come over

ionic belfry
#

I’ve probably spent that much on food so far

prime abyss
tropic copper
#

seems like a lot

#

I think you only need to choose where you would feel comfortable and again somewhere is cost effective according to your affordability

tropic copper
#

driving to and from any northeast school schools would cost like $200 a year

#

less prob

How do you answer Cornell’s weird supp?

#

In the aftermath of the U.S. Civil War, Ezra Cornell wrote, "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study." For over 150 years, Cornell University has remained deeply committed to Ezra’s vision. Explain how your life experiences will help inform your contributions to a learning community devoted to “... any person … any study.” We encourage you to think broadly about your life experiences, including how local (e.g., family, school, neighborhood) or global communities you’ve been part of have helped shape your perspective.

cinder thistle
#

i mean you spend it doing events and stuff

#

like eihter extra cirriculars, events, parties, hanigng out, etc

#

#

so just like cihll time

cinder thistle
#

well it depends

#

like are you cs?

#

whats your exprience like

empty scroll
#

i got usaco plat last yr but i forgot like everything

#

and some software dev stuff

#

rly rusty on everything tho cuz for the last 4 months i’ve just been doing essays

#

i applied to coe cs cuz i don’t have 3 yrs of foreign language but if i get in tho i’ll see if i can transfer to a&s

#

cuz i’m dogshit at physics

cinder thistle
#

bro 1112 is a joke if ur not in honors its chill

#

r u ed?

cinder thistle
empty scroll
#

i’m ed ye

cinder thistle
#

so youd prolly skip cs1110 (intro to code) and go to cs2112 and 2802 first sem (honors intro dsa and honors discrete) which are both solid I think although only regular is offered this year due to professors in sabatical

#

second sem Id imagine you would take cs3110 cs 3410

#

3110 is ocaml and a really well made class

empty scroll
#

wait hold up

#

are u freshman

cinder thistle
#

yeah

empty scroll
#

and ur in like the 3k classes already?

cinder thistle
#

3410 is intro to comp arch (I took it this sem for a bit solid class if oyu have no experience to verilog)

empty scroll
#

i thought it’s like

cinder thistle
#

cornell doesnt give a fuck about pre reqs

empty scroll
#

each yr u move up 1k

cinder thistle
#

i sat into some grad too and 4k its great

#

nononono

#

not if you push yourself

#

andthen final required class is cs 4820 which is algorithms

empty scroll
#

bruh i’m not the academics guy so i’ll see but yeah def not gonna sit in boring ass classes

cinder thistle
#

even if ur plat youd prolly like it as its all proof based

#

btw they are all public

cinder thistle
#

classes here are solid tho

empty scroll
#

i have some smart friends eding here too i’ll prolly take some classes with them

cinder thistle
cinder thistle
empty scroll
#

anywhere to make connections btw?

cinder thistle
#

we have a solid selesction for os, compilers, ml, and comp grpahics too

#

id also recommned grad algo for you

#

and a lot of grad classes are really good

#

oh for frehsmen year you should take math 2230/40 if you like math at all

#

id highly recommend it

cinder thistle
#

wdym

empty scroll
cinder thistle
#

its linear and multi

#

but also like

#

so much more

#

have you taken linear multi yet?

empty scroll
empty scroll
cinder thistle
#

empty scroll
#

i def need to retake tho cuz my teacher didn’t teach shit

cinder thistle
#

i took taht and a few other calsses and its rlly good

#

yea its gonna be perfect then

empty scroll
#

how good are the professors at teaching

cinder thistle
#

its real analysis and topology on R^n manifolds + a refresheer on lin alg and multi but all proof based

#

plus some intro to more adv stuff too

cinder thistle
#

very dependent on what

empty scroll
#

bro cuz like i swear i space out every 15 minutes

cinder thistle
#

i would say for the cs core its very solid tho

#

noramlyl done by a overqualfied lecturer(non researcher) that is very good at what they do

#

but outside of that it can be hit or miss

#

for example i dont like my e&m class rn

cinder thistle
cinder thistle
#

i mean you just meet them in classes and around campus

empty scroll
#

so basically electives lecturers can be sus

cinder thistle
#

like its a pretty close knit school being rather isolated outside of cornell

#

and its not a massive private so you dont get lost in a mob of people

empty scroll
#

ye bruh i need some guys that can hook me up with hws and stuff like that

cinder thistle
#

lol yes you will def meet ppl to do psets with

cinder thistle
empty scroll

Ok.... God my anxiety is going to be active all night now

broken cloak
#

nah your chilling

#

it’s not required

#

that kid was cappin i think

#

resumes can hurt your app if they just regurgitate the info u put

#

most ppl ik who get admitted don’t submit one

Did any of y’all apply for engineering

# broken cloak resumes can hurt your app if they just regurgitate the info u put

That's what I thought, I already have too many optional things in my app in my opinion 😭 I had to get an additional rec to the counselor rec because I couldn't do calc because of scheduling issues and my major requires calc, and I had an additional rec because I wanted a rec from my CTE & FFA advisor since it's so separate from my main campus

peak ice
#

Damn y’all got school campus 😢

#

I didn’t get a math letter for engineering cause the 2 teachers I wanted to send I knew for 4 years

#

So they said it was fine to just ask one of them to talk abt my math abilities for a small bit

#

Lowkey thing the math lor for engineering is dumb

#

Cause they aren’t trying to get personality just math capabilities

manic ether
#

wait i have to write a resume for coe

thorny violet
# peak ice Damn y’all got school campus 😢

The main campus is my actual high school, the CTE campus is shared between all the high schools in the district and is where I get instruction for all my CTE classes, I just thought I should get a rec from my FFA advisor because my actual high school has little clue about FFA which is one of my main ecs, and what I do and how I act in FFA is a lot different from how I act in school

im reconsindering applying here

#

ok nvm

i dont think its gonna be a dealbreaker tho

they might just think ur not good at following directions or smth

#

i dunno

peak ice
#

Nah I emailed them and they said it’s fine

#

Cause I went to visit and the admission officer said it was “to gage math capability after the pandemic”

#

But I feel a lor should also highlight who you are as a person

Don’t lose ur 3 years

#

they reply rly fast tho

#

replied to my email literally the next minute

peak ice
#

Yeah I sent mine right for when the office opens but they do reply really fast

#

One of mine also said “Regina 24’” so I think it might be actual admissions officers too

#

does anybody else not see SAT/ACT scores on the cornell check list

#

i sent through college board but it's not there

thorny violet
#

What school did you apply to?

#

Ok, then I'm not sure? I had an additional rec, but it didn't show up on my checklist either so I'm just assuming that the checklist only has the absolutely required materials? Also, I'm pretty sure you also put your SAT in through commonapp, so they should at least have your score there? I would email if you're worried about it, but maybe give it a couple of days since they could still be processing and just haven't gotten to it?

#

I applied to CALS, so I'm not sure about the official SAT scores showing up on the portal

floral basin
#

idk it's prob fine tho

thorny violet
vapid mica
#

they only want you to send official test scores after acceptance right?

floral basin

thorny violet
#

It should be fine to send official test scores

thorny violet
#

As in, you uploaded the documents onto the portal

floral basin
#

and another was because i made a mistake for one of the cornell questions on the application so i wrote a little blurb saying i chose the wrong thing

thorny violet
#

I submitted my application before my additional recommender finished her rec because I thought it would be fine and be sent over once it was finished

floral basin
#

you should prob contact them then

#

or if you look it common app on the rec section

#

it should say downloaded

#

and a date

i called her after my acceptance or decision and she was so happy for me

broken cloak
#

they def look at what ur alumni had to say tho

#

they give ratings and a review if u check admissions files they usually have stuff to say abt u but it’s never bad

#

it’s sort of a verification on u saying who u say u are

cornell is like

nonevaluative

most recent + full year of growth

yeah

ive asked one ive had all 4 years and one that i had jr

i could ask the teacher thats running the "internship" here (its officially a class though so idk how that would work)

elfin thunder

is is true dyson has 3% AR, typically cornell + penn dont release school specific AR publicly

also dyson is test blind

is anything recompensated

That’s where you can improve it then

A resume should have 2-3 ec’s max

outer jolt
#

There's no point in submitting a 1 page resume when the activities section is right there

ionic belfry
#

A resume shows more than your ec’s

#

It displays your professional/business knowledge of pitching yourself

elfin thunder
#

is it possible to do a CV instead?

#

my resume is j all ecs lol

ionic belfry
#

Work on your resume then lmao

#

Your cv is basically the why us essay

elfin thunder
#

can i show you it in dms?

#

yeah

ionic belfry

I can’t right this second (can later) but follow the Dyson resume template

Education, work experience, leadership, ec’s, and skills

elfin thunder

ok yeah that sounds good

Employers see more as a red flag

From a hser

I was speaking to someone who judged my app to a project team and he said, “first things first, you only did one page of a resume so youre way ahead ofthe curve”

#

Yea that's for employers

weak valve
#

College app is the same

outer jolt
#

But if a college wanted 1 page they could just look at my EC description, no?

Which is why u should def limit how much it overlaps with ur ex section

Put other stuff

For anyone who didn't get IDOC yet for ED, I emailed finaid office, and they said:

You are only required to complete the CSS profile by the deadline and supplemental materials can be submitted after the due date. We have not opened IDOC access to Early Decision applicant's yet. You will be notified via email if we need any additional documentation and when IDOC is available to submit that documentation to.

Probably no one as paranoid as me but incase anyone wanted to know 😅

Guys on the Cornell application status page, it says they have received 1 counselor + 2 required teacher evaluations, when I submitted a 3rd optional teacher + an other rec letter. Should it be on the list of what they received?
