🙏
i spread it around
NO ITS NOT WHAT
FLOOF UR JUST BEING TOO MUCH PLS
Any of y’all that would’ve been good enough to get in last year will probably get in this year 🙏
they probably put this news because they want more people to apply rd
which will offset the “increased” rd slots
!cornell
hi sheep
no i saw it
somewhere
in this chat
I think its wrong
my guess is 15 or 14 tho
idk but ED pool mustve been ass
yeah but its weird tho, they releasing it this late
😭😭😭
how big
Do u think the adjustment actually is
what do you mean
if u check page 25 i think they already decreased acceptances last year
it wasn't a big adjustment like 200 ppl ish??
ohhh
okay thank u
no problemmm idk how accurate the info is but
I rlly hope its not a lot 😭
same
their Ed is less so more RD but its minor
Supreme Court ruling
Want to lower acceptance rate
Applicant pool isn’t good enough
could be more reasons too
^
I asked one admission officer and he said it's just a rumor from the student run newspaper and not confirmed by the committee
it is confirmed
OH
.
and the newspaper said they discussed this oct 11
yo they got a cornell thread
this is a godsend for me applying rd but it will not change my chances by much
still probably getting rejected, still dont care that much
has anyone gotten an interview from cornell yet?
i dont think this has that big of an effect on anyone except for the non-athlete non-legacy ED (because they aren't relinquishing enough spots for it to have an impact on RD)
nah they arent
shucks but whatev
overall this benefits the legacy, atheletes, and donors 😭
normal ED's get disadvantaged
and RD people got no effect or even a disadvantage since more people will see the news and apply
The broncos lost...
wrong chat
see that's what im saying
no
because the broncos lost
that means i will have good luck for the next week.
i dont see the correlation between broncos and back luck
its a me thing ngl
basically the bronccos are my favorite team
and whenever they win, i have a shitty week/month outside of the broncos
and the inverse for losing
yes
💔
the paradox of my life
its like
you have an allocated amount of luck
and i'm not the one spending it
but whenever luck goes somewhere
it gets lost in other places
unfortunately an ao wil NOT accept that
Well u gotta convince an ao
That’s on u kid
did u ed
nah
hold up
so maybe cornell is doing this to get more RD people to apply
so they reject more people
to artificially lower their admit rate, basically pulling a northeastern
Don’t compare Cornell to northeastern mate
We don’t associate with them
last RD cycle
like 24 hrs after the deadline
they sent notification that they reopened apps
and extended deadline for the official commonapp forms of like ur name and shit and PS to jan 15
from jan 2
and then u had until like
feb 15
to submit ur cornell essays
def was to increase # of apps
shit was crazy
goddamn
they probably are wanting to deflate acc rate maybe
i thought that was dartmouth
huh
or like brown
ngl cornell seems better than like all the ivys
except for hyp
and lie
since im applying engineering it doesnt make sense to apply to any other ivy
like
so im not
W
Cornell is bottom 3 ivy
Hyppc>
Oh u said engineering
L
I thought u meant overall
for him its overall
yea
for me its just engineering
i think cornell is top 5 overall
- princeton
- harvard
- yale
- columbia
- cornell
- upenn
- brown
- dartmouth
Columbia i can see? but idk about upenn
Cornell over Penn is laughable
ima be real
for engineering i think its cornell > princeton > penn > columbia
princeton sucks cause only one major allowed
i would much rather go to cornell than upenn
other than wharton what does penn have
and then everything else is mid
like its a great school with great history and top ranked programs sure
but like
so is Cornell
What does Cornell have in general
if cornell wasnt fucking
90k a year
i woulda EDd
tbh
then again, the recent news tells me that i made a good decision
engineering, business, physical sciences, econ, humanities 
cornell engin is top in ivies
thats not a contest
though i agree penn has the edge on everything else
that being said cornell isint the best in the world at engin
while other ivies excel in their respective areas
i.e. wharton
ivy name and connections
problem with gatech and uiuc is state kids can easily get in
look at me fail ap lit
dawg no one gives a shit about ivy names in engineering
obv ivy brand helps idk what ur on
worse student body
if you do valuable things in college like internships (as you should) youre gonna get a job
for engineering not as much if at all
man
gwa
hi jazzy
i mean gatech and uiuc are solid schools
ofc its gonna help over a random ass uni but these schools are as elite as cornell if not more
nah
youre gonna get the same shit
the only state school that i'd say is more eliter than cornell is ut austin turing
for cs, cuz im speaking for myself
bro is capping 💀
and thats an honors program within state school
k bro
hi guys i just joined the threads of all the schools im applying to 💀
id say a lot of schools are at the cornell level for cs
academics wise
UCB, UIUC, Udub, UMich, UT, Gatech
hi parlalaekx
u can go then
so no one cares about the name at that high level, moreso what you do in college
real
usually we are much epicer and based here in the cornell thread
but right now we are cockfighting
dfhglfk okay
idk im just defending my position
true
we are all kind of sad
because apparently ED is getting harder at cornell
we also don't know the decision date (but we think its the 14th)
@limber stone hi
i come here to escape a2c general
yeah because people think cornell is the easiest ivy to get in through ED so more people are thus applying to ED and lowering the acceptance rate 💀
how possible is it that i can get a couple of ivy essays done
in howmuch time
till jan
ye there was a news article out that apparently they made an executive decision to lower ED acceptances
yea and thats probably why
definitely
i finished all my apps
ivies got intuitive
like same life experience questions eventualy
and stuff like that
time for cornell posting

hi
i am considering
what language to study in college
debating between chinese, arabic, and korean
mandarin chinese
arabic sounds cool!
yes! except idk where i would study abroad with it 😭
my 1st choice is mandarin chinese except apparently its the hardest
This is true
If most of these weren’t public and gave solid aid might have looked into it. Cornell being as generous as it is with aid is one of the big reasons I’m tryna go (ED 🥰)
Mechanical Eng
cornell gave me nothing
though i might have messed up the numbers on the NPC but i doubt it would change by much
actually lemme check again
As long as I didn’t mess anything up in my CSS profile I hope my package will be good in the micro chance I get in ED
But as the day gets closer, my hope diminishes more and more 💀
Are you using the numbers straight off the tax returns?
im like guessing lmao
but this is similar to the last time i filled it out when i didnt fill out one thing correctly
it is quite literally full cost
Jeez…
I would try asking your parent to let you see the tax returns or at least just you the accurate numbers for the calculator 😭 when I was guessing I was overshooting by almost 20k what my parents actually make...
Depends on the city 💀
i filled it out accurately last time except for like one thing and got 84k
so nah
Yeah in that case… those public engineering schools would probably be a much much better choice
Idk how you're getting 84k with a 130k income tbh unless you have like 3 houses
its the assets yeah
offshore stuff
Crazy..
im still def applying if i get rejected from from my public choices
doubt ill get in though
What’s the Cornell engineering acceptance rate
dare i say it combined with the people who apply for fun and get rejected
around 10% probably less
According to some sources it was 6.15% in 2018
theres some deflation for the people who apply for fun who got little chance
but yeah that is more accurate
That’s true
with the ED news, rd could either go up (very unlikely) stay the same (id bank on this) or go lower (this is actually a possibility)
for cornell
less ivy name
more alum connections
and project teams
its not like theyre gonna admit less
well have even more housing
theyre just gonna defer more i think
lets see what happens tho
so im assuming RD is even less then
shit
welp i made a choice so it doesnt matter as much
the differences are less pronounced
to the point where its esentially irrelavent
like 5% or something
What Ed news?
they bumped their ED acceptance rate this year to 50%
💀
He’s being sarcastic
it will probably go lower
id imagine
because the decrease in ED is not enough to offset an increase in applications after le decision
anyway
instead of reading english i may or may not have just perused cornell's math curriculum
and holy shit i kind of want to do a pure math now 😨
true
probably more fair between ed/rd pool applicant pool caliber but idk
Who got one?
They don't send out likely letters for ed
Apparently they do. Saw in international to USA server
Wowza, that's really interesting
Yea really interesting
Usually ed doesn't get likelies cuz the decision is alr binding
Where’s he from
I want to ask.
Though some are postulating that he’s just trolling 😅. But I want to confirm
I think he might be, I don’t think they email decisions for one
They would be in your portal
Also the wording is wrong
“Although the Ivy League will not notify students of decisions uni later this month”
Except they don’t all announce at the same time for early
So there’s no reason to group them together
Yea he was trolling 🤦
That’s also why I asked where he was from
They only give them out to Indian students
The scholarship mentioned
Not the likelies
😅😅true. Never thought of that
Likelies are only given to Indians?
No. If you read the letter a Tata scholarship is mentioned, and its a real thing, but you have to be an Indian citizen for it
Oh I get the scholarship
Ohh
Maybe
Trolling h
Hasto be
surebro
that usuallly only happens for rd pool
yea
💀
i got a likely letter for cornell
it was my birth certificate
18 years ago
😎
jk im flunking out 😅
!jae
💀
can i get in ed without submitting optional report
dw both of the chances are in the 1%
where’s it say that?
does it include upenn
Single digit days until Cornell comes out
Im flunking out
dw im abt to lose my val game if that helps u cope
We r eating at a bar in commons and my friend tried to order alcohol
And the waiter was like
R u wven 21
😭
None of yall are
💀 anyways
Dont bottom frag thats embarrassing
will do
aint no way

💀
Ok but i am on hiatus
!!
Fym above me
What rank are you
Im. B2
LMAO THE WAITER JUST

U wish he was better
Crying
Did the waiter give the drink
No
Unfortunate
14 - 4 = 10 😨
hi cornellies
we should do an Advent of Cornell
Happy 10 days to Cornell release date 😍
Cornell sunsets r really pretty
Praise to the lord of Corn🌽
Amen 🙏 may we matriculate to this great institution in memoriam of the world crop. We shall live and die by the stalk.

Cornell's official christmas song
This is amazing
I have a question...
While filling up the Cornell App.. they are asking about my highest maths course.... officially through school i have vaguely done calculus 1 (im in india)
but unofficially I have completed upto calculus 2 (through my JEE classes)
What should I answer there?
if its unofficial it doesnt count
you should probably ask this in intltousa cuz I vaguely remember someone saying that jee coaching comes under homeschooling
although I'm not sure so you'd probably have to ask someone else
ahhhhhhhhhhhh this is tortue.... i cant say im smart just because our schooling system is sh*t
the thing is i have nothing to show for... max i can do is write an essay on it
are you not affiliated with a dummy school or anything?
i am
don't u have a transcript from there?
ahh ok
while i have learnt upto calc 2
i think u should mark it down as calc 1 but put this down in additional info
because the coaching classes won't be on your transcript
what is up Corn L
Cornell 🌽
omg mandz gl with ed
i know ur gonna see a accpetance letter
pls shut the fuck up mandz u got this
ngl i highly doubt it
my CAS essay was not great
at all
common app is like above averageand the inclusivity essay is also above average
close air support
😭
i literall have 0 sports
I have asthma i wish I mentioned that
sending positive energy
im the only ED from my school tho
and prob like top 0.0001% in general
exactly
ure fucking delulu borther
immediately no competition from school
shut the fuck up
yeah
ur too harsh on urself
but im intl
42 out of 45 is insane
so i think i kinda count domestic
dont jinx ur ass
not rlly
im gonna jump u if u do
im jixing my ass
ok stop undermining ur achievements
bruh i feel like theyre mid
and i realized
cause i was checking ym RDs
i have so many errors in my common app
not the essay
like the FUCKING INPUTTED DETAILS
RAUGFGHOASOIDGFCVb
😭😭😭😭😭
like i srsly doubt
like
whys everyone on this goddamn server such an overachiever
💀 its a2c
theres 8 year old who cured cancer
this server is wack af
it makes people who are talented make themself seem worthless
too toxic imo and competitive
😭😭😭
idk my application is just
so unremarkable
Good
Cornell goated
Top schools in the world:
- Cornell University
- Cornell College
- Cornell University in Qatar
- Tompkins CC
god i hope i didnt make the wrong choice

Me irl: Checking A2C Cornell Megathread and discord like every 10 min just to get any newest update. Just give me the freaking date plzzzz
same bruh
im guessing tho
its the same as colum and yales
when is columbias and yales coming out?
uh dec 14 7pm EST
or one of them is at 5
idk abt the time
but the date is dec 14
is that confirmed?
colums is i think
ooh ok
anyone applied to humec for Fashion design management
some ppl probably have
its one of the cooler majors
anyone knows if they accept more male or female?
i heard theres only bout 300 students in humec and im nervous af
Hiii
i wonder how many students they accept in ED
Oh boy
like percentage wise
this is what we r being sad about
What’s up?
sooo
Can we send links?
oh fr?
we can indeed send links
whut..
Now here's the thing
bruh..
This is from 2022..?
said that they were already doing this last year...
so
it might have changed less than we think
Best to hold onto hope...
Interesting
im gonna be honest
i haven't looked into it that much
mostly just being sad about it
Now keep in mind
APPARENTLY
the decision to reduce ED
had already went into affect
Don’t worry about it
by the class of 2027
That article is stupid.
is this accurate?
since 40% is not bad at all
HOLY FUCK
for humec
It’s from a while ago
Didn't Jae also say something about taking in more students because of new dorms or am I crazy?
this is CRAZY
yea this would make sense too
Is this updated for 2023 though
Mb not necessarily more cuz lowkey a dorm crisis this year
LMAO
But there is more space
😭
Slightly
Dyson is insane, good thing I’m applying SHA 😎
im hoping they take more dyson kids 😭
what does SHA mean
School of Hotel Administration
Aka Nolan
It’s Nolan and Dyson, those are the two business school sections
ahh i hope engineering ed will be good for girls 😭 🙏
I didn't even @ jae
scary
i think it will be
because
a lot more men do engineering
so the acceptance rate is higher for women
so that they try to balanced enroll
true true
especially ED
i guess atp all we can do is be hopeful
😅
The google doc is OLD
I think it's kind of cute that everyone chatting at the moment has a small animal as their profile pic
It isss what ittt issss
Did everyone here apply ED?
im guessing most ppl probably did
How is everyone feeling??
We are thinking Dec 14th at 7pm EST right?
anxious af
Dw I’m sure you have a strong application
Love a business student application 😛
25% is surprising
I'm feeling sicker by the day and I'm panicking over financials at the same time
the 30 ppl ed acceptance is throwing me off 😭
It's in your choice diety's hands now
im not gonna get in rd its damn near impossible for me
Don’t worry about that doc
we r simply just based
dw guys just believe in urself and be hopeful
Exactly
i planned out what and when ill apply super strategically and it all falls to shit 
I think this is from a old year because it shows overall acc rate as 12%
That article really threw in a real monkey wrench
ED eate
rate
all we can do is wait.
I've been living on hope for the last 5-6 years, it'll be ok (delusional)
As long as you put your all into your application, you should feel satisfied
ive heard from somone that like 4.0 1600 people get rejected rd and im like hell nah no point
I don't know if that makes it even worse for me, like I put my heart and soul and it wasn't enough but at the same time I did everything I could ough...
Lottery
but ion got 4.0s n stuff
Gambling even
What school did you apply to?
Same
i thought i had it planned out
CALS for biological science (not pre-med)
ED was my plan until finances and other reasons and now i might be regretting it
yeah uhhhhhhhh see above
bonk
i mean you can always back out of ed for finincial aid reasons
tldr i dont see a point of me paying 40k more
kinda hard and annoying i heard
How did you fill out your financial aid??
Net price calc
Does Cornell have good middle class fin aid
Oh hm
The thing that's stressing me out about financial aid is I can't tell what they mean by "notified" on my financial aid checklist like my parents' tax return is right there in IDOC so I just asked my dad to upload it again with a signature this time and I'm just hoping it goes through because the financial aid documents were supposed to be due today but I still had two left on my checklist
That’s weird
My idoc doesn’t say they are processed but nothing is missing on my list
plus idk we can pay it i just dont want to when there are cheap but as good options
if we say we cant pay for it (less because we cant and more because i dont want to waste money) they can see it as breaking ED
in which case college go bye bye
IDOC is backed up so a lot of stuff isn't showing up on the IDOC dashboard
BRUH IM CAS
Sorry bae
should i change from eng to cas then
That’s not good
nah nvm i’ll just gun it
CALS bio sci gang
yea 😭
i submitted early too...
and did the css early...
The finaid portal
has no request
im cas too 😭
what did urs say
my idoc isnt requesting anything its like
They email you a code and you sign in w your birthday and the code
we r all CASies 😍
what course yall
wait @ionic hearth i might know u
Except me 😔
Im CAS physics
r u from cali?
yea
bay area?
el estado de california
what college are u applying to?
No 😔
oh
Nolan/ SHA
nvm then
💔
i have a
ooh fun
My IDOC is because my parents own a business so they have more financial documents to send for calculating financial aid
i had a friend
Highest acceptance rate bayyyybeeeee
yea i remember talking about that
OH FUCK
doxing urself
ye
thanks for the catch
mods didn't see that!
tbf i doxed that like
5 times
doing geoguessr here
LMAO
alr gl guys bye
👋
Bye!!
we shall see u on the other side 
matematicas
i pray that i get into my top choice in that thread
omg
btw if ure fin aid isnt processed yet does that affect admission
or only fin aid
its js fin aid right
i thin its just fin aid
where does it say if ur application is processed for finaid?
ye exactly
no idea
I want all of you to get in (with me ofc 🙏🙏) so I know people next year
Praying we all get in 🙏
Wooo (not pre-med though)
They're need aware for international
YES
we can do this 😍
Group manifestation
If you believe in love, peace, and hope, anything is possible 🫶 ☹️
im domestic
like
im dual citizen
i checked i count for need blind
pretty neat
Cornell, please give us the ED decision day because we want to use the command :(
I think they are announcing decision day today (tomorrow)??
Whatever Tuesday is for everyone
Where did you hear this?
me too tbh it was dec 6 last yr
Which was a TUESDAY
imagine they pull a fast one and decisions r this friday
OH I see I see I get it
But I’m not sure
Yeah, jumpscare I think I would die
Is it possible for them to announe it before the official decision day?
they probably will
some schools dont
cornell tends to tho
oh interesitng
SOOOO GOODDDD
🙏
im rlly betting on dec 14
any later and I think im gonna implode
not the 6th?
ed decision date
theyll prolly tell us the decision date on the 6th
its ok guyssss
LMAO SAME
how are you all cornellites doing
WHY SO FUCKING LOW
oh true
they make it equal right?
im p sure there aint a lot of girls in physics i hope i get an edge for that
i got a lot of femnism on my application too
women in stem we love it
ik for Engineering its quite a disparity
but im not sure for CAS 😔 just cause so many majors
farming 🌽
ok
so they took in
a SIGNFIICANT
amount more women
than men
keep this in mind
is it by school tho
or by major
cause ik a lot of women in humanities side of CAS
like the A
but not the S yk
im losing it
do u guys think that for colleges that admit by college and not by major (like cas and coe) they still take major into account or like its not worth that much
i mean they probably do
idk tbh
I think this is the system
wait nvm
where its by college
but they consider major
this is rlly inchresting
because
ok bc i applied for ece but im lwk scared of the cracked cs kids in coe 😭
they are actually accepting WAY Less people
even thhough they have INSANE amounts of applicants
you can see the TO boost
bruh applications fucking skyrocketing
but the amount of entering is about the same
so the yield rate is just
i guess cracked
i hope less fucking ppl applied this year
ima be real
no shot
Still TO + less covid shell shocked + court case
applications had to have gone up healthily this year
and become quite a bit more competitive
what does TO mean?
test optional
oop
hopefully they accept mre people 🥺
OR
they do a 180 and become uchicago and only accept ED ppl 😍
jkjkjkjkjk (but unless 😳 )
no fr
js fucking let me in pls
idw do anymore college apps
Click here if you are having trouble viewing this dashboard.
I think it's fair to say
the "less emphasis on ED"
will be fin
like mt stats r literally fine rhbadhbshgcbs
because they r still accepting ~1.6k ED and around ~3.3k RD
so still a healthy boost
wont this number change bc of the new ed reduction policy tho?
like wont there be less EDs
Prolly financial aid stuffs
its not new
I doubt so
they started last yr
ohhh u right
Here's the full picture myb
so were good probably
i mean think about it
okok
1.6/9.5 is still really competitive
overall
but
compared to the 60k in regular decision?
that only got 2x as many ppl?
like
we're still in a better spot
~17.5 acc rate (probably around 13% for CAS, 9% for Dyson, and a bit higher for like ILR)
ugh sometimes i feel like
i shoulda applied for eng school
but like
the applicants there r prolly more competitive
so its fine
like eng kids r psycho
im lwk scared of the other ppl who applied eng ed 😭
like on chanceme there r so many scary cracked ppl
see
i was on that fence too
but i wanted to do math major
i could have tried to do CALS statistics
but idt i want to do statistics
and i felt like they would have thought i was gaming the system applying stats in bio college with such a mathy application
so i did CAS
( also I liked CAS better in general)
i was considering engineering
i was considering eng but my ECAs and essay fit CAS better
but then my major would have been CS (insanely competitive) or ORIE (kind of tangential)
ye exactrlyt
I LOVED my essays for Cornell specifically
its the only diversity essay i wrote this cycle that i'm proud of
and CAS is my favorite why major by far
goodnight cornell megathread
we shall manifest further tmrw 
chill out bro
u should worry abt ur half a mil tuition more than ur acceptance
lmfaooaoao
WHY
