Oh yeah zoned kids
Are u zoned
and so many of the zoned kids are actually bad students
no idea
Never heard of that
#wow
Are you compared to students in just your school or across other schooos during app process. Ppl from feeder school prob have better apps than ppl from Publix
Not necessarily
most nyc feeder schools are public
like all the specialized are public
They are crazy competitive tho
that are going T20 us
true
Yeah but like when your school doesn’t help you and no past ppl have gone to good schools you are kinda on your own
how
Becoming club presidents and stuff be like ww3
I did good but if I knew how much ppl really did to get into good colleges before 11th I could’ve done more
Yeah same
we have college counseors and guidance counselors
college is good
wow
we have 1
guidance doesnt do shit
My guidance doesn’t even know all the college stuff
we only have guidance
Same my guidance counselor is pretty nice
they dont care
Lets me read rec letter
Same
we have over 5 guidance and 3 college
our guidance counselors are our college counselors
My guidance counselor rec letter is prob so bad
mine loves me
i had to get a counselor outside of my school
my college
Lmao same
She prob used the same format for the other 50 kids she has
same
i had one too from matchlighters
i love my outside counselor
Yooo same?!?!
saved me from
my service ended
but i got my cornell and personal statement done and thats all i care about
Mine haven’t still 5 more sessions
And she edits essay on her own time
how much was urs
Damn y’all got personalized counselors
0 dollars
It was a free program
matchlighters is fre
From college essay guy
Actually I paid someone $350 to help me for a month
Bruh
It was a kid that got into bunch of good schools last year
bruh shouldve done matchlighters
Bro I just needed someone to give me direction with my personal statement
Cause my English teachers are useless
mine gave me so much direction
Same
yea most of them dont understand college apps tbh
They don’t care
like a lot of them just want artistic writing
My school is so ghetto bruh
my school has fights lol
My English teacher makes us do college essays for hw
Fr
And supplementals too
I wish
mine did but her advice was low key bad
Mine was very honest and I think his opinion was good
I asked my teacher to reread my common app after doing revisions and he gave it back and said I have no comments
I was like way to improve my essay!
Some kid from his class last year wrote about sewing a nazi flag for a school musical and she got into Yale
mine was too vague and didnt understand college apps enough tbh she just wanted to fix grammar mistakes and make it more artsy
My counselor did not edit a single one of my essays
my counselor liked all of mine but they already had been through a bunnch for edits

pls let me in rah
I get sick thinking about my deferral arg
ugh me too 😭
i have this intuition feeling i'm gonna get rejected
i know i'm going to get rejected
it's just that seeing that will be kind of upsetting
love that for u
like idk why i will be upset because i know im going to get rejected
like same
there’s like a small part of me that like thinks i can get in but i think i’m being delusional
like i predict defer -> reject
idk ahhhh i just need to mentally prepare myself lol
REAL
that's so real
i’ve been crazy anxious these past 2 weeks i need to like actually chill
i was totally fine
and then they announced the official date and time
and i was like
oh shit this is real
good luck bois
and i FREAKKEDDDD
tbh i think a2c makes it worse 😭😭😭
IT DOES
i found a2c on one of my anxious streaks
where i do like a deep internet dive of like acceptance rates and stats and stuff
LOL SAME!
i want to know now
real
wake me up at 7:01 on Thursday 😊
this is me 24/7
that’s actually so real
have i ever had an original thought
SAME

(and astro)
oo cute
yes
what r u applying for
nolan
OMG LOVE
cuz i always knew i wanted to go into business
but nolan combines business with like food and travel which are like my 2 fav things ever
love them both
honestly i would do nolan if it were just me choosing but my parents liked dyson a little better
and they're paying so i was like okay!
not gonna complain...
business
oh
well on the bright side if i don’t get in i won’t be 80k in debt!
#optimismiskey
my parents are paying but they r giving me a flat fee
that does not cover all of cornell
fair
ya which is def fair
like honestly i am so lucky
same i’m super thankful to my parents
my parents are legends
aghhhhhhhhhhhhh
what state r u from
canada 🥶
oo i have not met any canadian applicants
ik canadians kind of stick to their own schools
r u planning on applying to more u.s. schools if u don’t get in
so true
HAHA no i totally get that
wait so what does nolan even do
i ❤️ food
i wrote about it in my cornell app lol
real
that's so exciting
wdym
where though
like uh
maybe the nolan question
it was my hook
what does nolan do idk how to say it
like for my hook i wrote about a business i started as a 6 year old in my basement
when i was younger i had a yelp acc where i would write reviews
hospitality
OMG SAME WHAT
yes i was such an interesting kid
i was actually so smart as a kid idk what happened
like at the beginning of the nolan essay
nolan essay
this was for the beginning of my dyson essay
omg that’s so cool
ah im doing eng
mine is kind of similar actually
in the sense where we talked about childhood experiences related to business haha
yes i love that
idk if i can hook like that in the eng essay
shows true passion
so i didnt
ya i feel like eng is harder
business is more about selling urself
and storytelling
lol
meh idrc i got no hope anyways
i don't want any copiers so deleted
what’s the eng essay prompt
Essay 1: Required response. (250-word limit)
How do your interests directly connect with Cornell Engineering? If you have an intended major, what draws you to that department at Cornell Engineering? If you are unsure what specific engineering field you would like to study, describe how your general interest in engineering most directly connects with Cornell Engineering. It may be helpful to concentrate on one or two things that you are most excited about.
Essay 2: Choose either Question A and Question B. (250-word limit)
Question A: Describe an engineering problem that impacts your local community. This could be your school, neighborhood, town, region, or a group you identify with. Describe one to three things you might do as an engineer to solve the problem.
Question B: Diversity in all forms is intrinsic to excellence in engineering. Engineering the best solutions to complex problems is often achieved by drawing from the diverse ingenuity of people from different backgrounds, lived experiences, and identities. How do you see yourself contributing to the diversity and/or the inclusion of the Cornell Engineering community? What is the unique voice you would bring to the Cornell Engineering community?
interesting
basically why school supp and eng problem supp i did
talked more about the school opportunities and connected to major and interest rather than myself
myself was for any person study
like a problem in my community and coming up with a solution
did you write 2 community essays?
no
🙇♂️🙇♂️ "any person any study"
that was an option i did the other one
the engineering problem
it was easy to write
highkey enjoyed it
cant afford this place though even if i get in
my new batch of unis is such a drag to do
im just waiting for cornell before i do more
ik im probs gonna have to but finals is next week and i need to focus on that
i don't have finals so i'm chill
so winter break is gonna be me writing supps for 7 schools 😍😍😍
i would lose it if i had finals rn
i’ve submitted 13 alr
me but i have 10 days for 12 schools 😳
oh i will not be working over xmas break
just 7 more to go
i live to go on vacation
me or lm?
xmas break
LM
oh
how r u not gonna be stressing over break
how many have u done so far
ignoring my issues 🥰
no
oh
oh hello loukas
then like 14 maybe?
oh same!
i finished 6 today so 6/16
damnn ok
personal levels here 🤞
ok if u count ucs as 1
then i’ve done 9
but i feel like atp it’s all just recycling
i uh
i think i’ve written all there is to be written abt me
i barely recycle
being able to recycle an essay properly is like the most satisfying thing
really
yeah
like when it works out nicely
why not
it's like wow
i try to
no ik
oh yes same
literally like i can't write about another extracurricular
ok see this is T20 material
and i use different ones for each school
so like
😭😭😭😭
that's highkey so smart
OMG TWIN
pick the one that matches the values of the school
YES
omg i’ve never met anyone else who does this also
and u can recycle the other one into the supps
wait i love that
if i get in like honestly
is kind of wild
ya idk about that
there r some interesting ppl in this server
but like some ppl r cool
lmao agree
(like me obv)
generally everyone’s rly nice tho
LOL
so not the best!
if i get in i don't even know how happy i'll be
yes!
it's like an addiction to come back here
my little home
Go to other channels than this one
the part that was like “you are offered admission” i knew they were talking about like the different options and i still got put in a good mood
i was like oh! like my heart actually went
ik it was the first option too ❤️
so maybe that's them hinting at me that i got in 😉
quick qs: is cornell eng most competitive among other cornell colleges?
i think dyson is most competitive
cornell eng 2nd then?
it's up there tho
prob ya
haha it’s not the servers fault it’s just like college topic in general makes me anxious
i think CALS might be ahead
it scares me
because like i still feel like im in grade 8
Yeah general chat talks about other things sometimes!
Like how tall they are!
i've never moved on from grade 8
5 4
lmao u are off by a lot
5’10
Yeah one of those two
LMAO
THAT WAS SO OFFENSIVE
are we the same person
lmao 😭😭 perhaps
r u sure u rnt 4 9? ❤️
promise🤭
kk!
Oh my god I just had such a good idea but idk if it’d work
what's that
What if we either did a thing where every #1050620654485000213 thread fills out their height and/or MBTI
And look for correlation
OMG
Which thread is the tallest
CAN WE PLS
Which is the most extroverted
THATS ACC FUNNY ASF
wait that would be so hype
and maybe u could be like if u fill this out ur automatically entered into a raffle for one month nitro
It would be wild meeting at Cornell and not nt
right
bc then ppl would be motivated
IK
#incentive
i still cannot believe u thought i was 4”9
WAIT GIRL IMMA BE BACK IN GLENCOE OVER BREAK
If things go well I should bring you back merch
OMG YES I WOILD LOVE
IDK
TYSM
HAHAH
u gave 5 4 energy so i was lost
OFC IM ROOTING FOR YOU
LMAO i play volleyball
Sounds like a 5’6 man speaking 🫢
so 5”4 would be too short
6 is like
fr r u sure ur not lying abt ur height 🤨
average for volleyball
4 11 but close!
lol
rounds up!
most players I know are around 6'4
pre much!
6”4 is like college/pro
nah boys
girls average is like 6'1 for our school
that’s not like super irregular
oh damn
ya everyone else for my position at my school is 6+
i’m short 💔💔💔
My friend rows here and everyone on her team makes fun of her for being 5’9
It’s insane they’re all giants
lmfao that’s me
such esoteric sports i wish we had a good football team
or a good basketball team
omg my friend is coming for rowing and she's 5 3 LOL
u guys r good for hockey right
Coxswain?
hockey is valid
is she the person who doesn’t actually rowe
Rly rly good for hockey
yes
Horrible at football
yes
but this year it’s been a bit of a miss
OH YES COXSWAIN
i'm so salty she got in and i haven't yet
lost to harvard 
and probably won't
What major is she
human ecology
ikk
lmao rowers annoy me but at the same time good for them
oh club soccer is insanely valid too for some reason
when they’re the only ones who get into hypsm
ya they kind of irritate me
The nt ones are annoying af
but also they’re winning so good for them
at least the ones at my school bother me
j think it’s just rowers in general
I like the girls but all the HYPSM guys
rich sport
they're so cocky
Tru
im not doing incentive but https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScyB_RrMuFd2dQfEaMQ95tnAU-7_qCUjcOovwgLROQdlU3txg/viewform?usp=sf_link
My fav rich sport is def fencing
and they have no personality outside of rowing
LMAO did u see that one thing that was like
Cornell has a rly good fencing team
the guy who got into harvard
i'm personally a tennis fan
My year or urs
he wrote a handbook for how to get into hypsm for new trier ppl
like a long time ago
2020
or smth
I’ve never heard of that
ITS LIKE 20 PAGES
Was it “do rowing?@
let me find it i’ll send it to u
LMAO
that was one of the things
ok YES
it is literally their whole personality
it's acc so annoying
their instagram: all rowing pics
who they sit w at lunch: all rowers
all they ever talk about: rowing
but i mean go them
all successful and winning all those medals
barf don't even get me started

my ecs andbsupp align w public policy its just that the spots r so limited and many are gonna go to ny students anywayd

i dont think they limit to ny students
i forgot but someone else said they dont in this thread
oooh really?
cuz theyre listed as public so i thoufht they would
i dont think any of them do
ohh
maybe im wrong tho it doesnt really interfere with me cuz i live here
Ok so
Part of the reason why brooks is competitive is that it is public
Not that they view instate or oos differently
But bc all these kids from NY are like wow I’ll only pay 40k for my degree
its the tuition discount for in state right?
Yup!
yess thats true
so thats the reason why ny students make up a bigger proportion in the student body?
part of it and probably cuz people like living in state
its easier to visit parents and thing like that
yeah that too
Yeah
and instate tuiton for an iviy sounds nice
also specialized hs feed to cornell
ohhhh
YES its so intimidating living in fl
There’s a ton of Florida kids
get used to the weather
really?
its cold af rn
Like five in my major/year
Miami mostly
It’s not that cold tbh
perfect im from miami
its 30 rn
I went on a 3 hr walk in the snow for fun the other day
i normally wear a hoodie in 30 and thats it
omfg😭😭😭
but i wore a jacket tdy
Mimikyu just get hand warmers and stuff
And accept that you’re gonna complain
All the warm weather kids do
yess i need to go shopping for new england weather
And we make fun of them for it
makes Sense cold for us is 65 degrees
yea you dont have to go crazy like me cuz ive been living in ny since elementary school
💀💀💀💀
thats mad warm
Fr
65 id wear like t shirts and go outside
I keep my dorm at 60-65
i need to wear multiple layers and everything
this is crazy
i keep my house at like 68
ppl here wear hoodies starting at 70 degrees
i rare have worn more than 2
Well Florida is weird 😭
layers
wtff😭😭
florida is a strange place
it is fr
nyc subways are weird too but still
hearing yall say this is alien to me
yes
the reason why i wanna go oos so bad
Btw @light kestrel 6th most popular state
okk thats not too bad
like half the people are NYers tho
does it ever go under 20 degrees in ithaca
im low key scared of that
cuz i can handle 30 fine but anything under is horrible for me
and under 20 is insane
I’m in lower ny and we get under 20s every year
This is p useful
Learn to adjust
It’s not bad once you get used to it
Chicago for me was under 0 for every winter
im in nyc and ive never gotten that
but ig im in the hottest part of ny??
queens
U sure queens never dipped under?
maybe but ive never seen it on the weather app
maybe im trippin but i genuinely have never seen it
U prob had under 20 at some points nt nyc can get real cold in jan
idk
it got really cold at like 20 smth during the artic wind thing last christmas
but i dont think it went under

is that what happens
if ur top ranked in ur class then ur valedictorian
so glad my school doesn't do rank
our school doesnt even do rankings normally they only do it for valedictorian
so its just #1 and eveyrone else
nah then the student govt kids would get it
i just know the energy at school on friday is gonna be so weird
a lot of my friends schools come out thursday night as well
no one ik even ed’ed
so im not too worried about it
and im just gonna ignore everyone that dms me about it unless theyre like decent friends with me
omg its 25 degrees outside of my car and i have a 5 min walk to school
a lot of people ed’ed cornell just no one ik persoanlly
thats not even that bad
WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE A COAT
thats your problem tbh
no one in my school has lockers
yet we all carry around our coats
Chicago kids pretend like the cold doesn’t exist
I never wore a coat until I came here
same nobody has lockers
HAHA i park at the metra
and i just suck up the cold
on my walk
weirdos
everyone in ny has a puffer or smth
YUP
i have one but i hate hauling it around
my dad said he would get me a new coat if i got in tho 😍
i have a 2xl relaxed fit sherpa carhartt
and i carry it
its humoungous

There is no such thing as a minimum, but do look at their 25th percentile to 75th percentile scores
Also applied for financial aid—> lowering my chances 😢
What year is this based on?
this is post 2016 average and it stays the same most of the time
and yeah as i said 1470 is like 25th Percetile so 1480 you good to go
Yeah
wtf actually?
around 500 more than last year
10k is wild
yeah
True
Nah
prob like 8%
1300 maybe
1500-1600
if its around 1400 students accepted like previous years then it should be around that
1 out of 10 of ya'll is making it
i can assure out of 10k atleast 1-2k are actually not even serious abt the uni
Why would they ED in the first place
yeah their profiles basically
but lets hope that they increase the amount of people accepted relative to ppl who applied
exactly
