[lavish marlin]

ME TOO UGH im staying here idc

[lavish marlin]

same as me cs so it'll be like elementary school to college is just me being with him

but i know i'll find a totally different crowd than bro

[ionic belfry]

Fs cs is so huge

[warm pagoda]

did you guys apply for diff majors?

[lavish marlin]

tbf yeah

the same major computer science

but the school is so big im not too worried

[peak ice]

I don’t wanna even do my hw

How much do we need to keep our grades up lmao

[lavish marlin]

I think the shock is still processing in my brain. Hasn't hit me that I just sealed the deal (as long as I don't get rescinded 💀) for the next 4 years of my life

real

Studying engineering at one of the best engineering institutions in the nation. Fuckin awesome. I'm blessed

[lavish marlin]

i think i manifested too hard that i know this is my place now

[lavish marlin]

IKR I LOVE IT

[merry wasp]

lmao yeah

[lavish marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/jiggy-jolly-get-jiggy-get-jolly-get-jolly-with-it-gif-13651478034157223092

girl💀

nvm im just dancing like jolly cat rn

[chrome nova]

Bud help me with Cornell supps

[thorny violet]

Jolly cat literally saved my sanity

[merry widget]

Hey I heard Cornell has a significantly lower deferral rate, but I’m wondering if this means anything for regular decision. Like is there a higher chance or something?

[merry wasp]

bro is cheating on me

[ionic hearth]

its the only thing i can think of my brain sso fried chicken

[peak ice]

Idk what to even do anymore

All my supps just stopped

[ionic hearth]

eat ice cream and get hot chocolate

😍

[thorny violet]

My brain is still mush too, I'm going to go to all my teachers and counselors and show them my acceptance tomorrow

[ionic hearth]

Yeah, I have to thank my reccomenders they helped me so much

[chrome nova]

Tbf he’s from my program and brown and doing eng too

[haughty crown]

Anyone here get into Nolan?

[thorny violet]

Turns out my enrollment fee was waived? So I didn't even have to pay that 🙏

[near harbor]

man this still doesn’t feel real
am I the only one who feels somewhat aimless now that college apps are fully over

[lavish marlin]

Same kinda

Ima start schematics for a stupidly designed liquid fuel rocket engine now 🥶

[lavish marlin]

Gotchu

[heavy marlin]

im sad i didnt just ed to nolan😭

[haughty crown]

Why

[heavy marlin]

nolan has much higher ed rates compared to dyson

and i can still go into investment banking with nolan

[haughty crown]

Doesn’t mean you’d get in?

Maybe deferred

[heavy marlin]

yea i'd have a better shot

now i gotta apply to the rest of my colleges...

[twilit current]

focus on maintaining your academics

and on maybe applying for summer internships or jobs

dont fully crash

[near harbor]

ik I’m keeping grades up, especially calc and physics bc I have to learn the content anyways
I’ve wanted to try starting an art Etsy or selling commissions for a while I’ll probably look into that

[twilit current]

yeah

take it easy and enjoy the fruits of your labor

but also don't completely burn out

[uncut wolf]

i've had like kinda straight As

but this year....

fuck stats, Bio, and chem

the material isn't hard but the teachers grade like hell.... if I don't answer verbatim, point off..... class average for those classes ia B

[peak ice]

I missed hw assignments td lol

Cause I was too busy celebrating

Now I’m upset cause my grade is ass 😭

[prime oxide]

Doesn’t matter

I bombed a test today but ykw still best day in a loong time

[peak ice]

LMAO senioritis is here

Guys if anyone has a gc of admits or anything + knows anyone in engineering that wants to connect dm me or ping me

[prime oxide]

Oh indeed it is

[pallid lichen]

Rejected

[junior pasture]

congrats to all the cornell admits!

best uni in new york frfr

[viscid spade]

DAMN FEEL LIKE THE WHOLE GROUP GOT INTO CORNELL

[ionic hearth]

😍 stay winning !!!

[elfin thunder]

cool kids club

[ionic hearth]

join 😎

jk im too afraid to talk im just watching jae play valorant

[thorny violet]

That's so real

[empty scroll]

overrated school

[ionic hearth]

one day i will get over my anxiety 🙏

[thorny violet]

JP, when are you switching your role to prefrosh?

[ionic hearth]

DMs

[elfin thunder]

when i get in i willl

[thorny violet]

I believe in you!!!

[wraith mesa]

DID U GET IN

JOLLY BASED

[lavish marlin]

😎

[light kestrel]

i need to learn the entierty of algebrw 2 in a month to take my dual calc/precalc placement test

The tjings i do for cornell!

[elfin thunder]

I need to learn precalc in a month for calc for Dyson which is partly why I didn’t rd @ionic hearth can u help a brother

[thorny violet]

Algebra 2 is light work don't worry too much!! Just make sure you spend enough time practicing

[raw basin]

imagine not being ib

and stuck doing fucking aahl

[light kestrel]

yes !! im sure i can do it bc i also taught myself 3 yrs of math in a small amount of time for dual im just scared i wont have the time w college apps and act practice and all

i Need to lock in and start paying attention in math so i dont need to teach myself this stuff last minute

[thorny violet]

Oh I see I see, I have to self-teach myself calculus AB for the AP exam that I promised Cornell, I really need to make sure I'm up to standard with everyone else in the major by the time I enter but I no longer have to worry about the ACT or college apps anymore so it's probably harder for you

[light kestrel]

yeahh im so little on time its going to be a hectic winter break, i wish u luck w ap calc ab tho !! im sure youll do great

[thorny violet]

Thank you!!! If worst comes to worst, there will be a 12-hour grind the night before the AP exam practicing absolutely everything

[lavish marlin]

Wait I told Cornell I’m taking the AP Chem exam but do I actually have to take it 💀 like are they gonna check

[thorny violet]

I don't want to take a risk tbh.... I would take it especially if you like did an actual statement like I did: "I will be taking the AP exam in May"

[chrome nova]

Yes

[thorny violet]

Also, calculus is required by my major so I'm so surprised they accepted me rather than deferred me when I said I was self-studying calculus because I had a scheduling conflict

[lavish marlin]

Ah alr

[elfin thunder]

Same for me as well so I didn’t apply RD but I’ll have it before I graduate hs do u think that’s fine

[thorny violet]

That's ok, they're basically just taking my word that I'm learning calculus at this point because I had only a teacher letter as proof that I was self-studying with the same materials as the class itself 😭

[lavish marlin]

girl everyone at school knows

i told my friends and now everyone knows via a story

[thorny violet]

I think like at least 50 people know by now because I whisper-shouted it into my favorite teachers' classes when I went to tell them 😭

[lavish marlin]

LMAOOO

I just wanted to stay low but oh well

[dusk basin]

hello

can someone give me some advice https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/1185236243240452097

cornell is on my rd list but idk what to do with it. whether to take it off or take umd off

[ionic hearth]

LMAO

[ionic hearth]

YES

we will precalculusmax

[chrome nova]

bud get ur prefrosh

[ionic hearth]

soon🤭

[elfin thunder]

ahh i see

[elfin thunder]

🙏

[peak ice]

Yeah the whole day was “congratulations”

[coral flume]

hey guys

[eager acorn]

This proves that they are holistic!!! Congrats again on ur acceptance honey!!

[ionic belfry]

@frigid anchor

Someone from my hs got into brooks

[frigid anchor]

yay public policy majors up

super cool riley

[twilit current]

Leaving ithaca…. miss her already fr 😔

[ionic belfry]

I just landed in chicago 😭

[wanton vale]

@lavish marlin what were your stats?

[eager acorn]

Any cornell student got tips for the community essay

[thorny violet]

I don't know if any of us are qualified to give out that kind of advice, but I think the key is just to be sincere more than anything

[prime oxide]

Is it true that Cornell this year was that awful for ED?

That’s what I seem to see online and stuff

Ik they decreased rates but it seems rly massive

[thorny violet]

We'll probably have to wait until rates come out to be honest... Unless someone's counselor gets info from the admissions office because no way are they telling us directly

[prime oxide]

That’s fair

Ik at my school it was worse than historically

[lavish marlin]

1510 3.98 UW

[thorny violet]

OH, that serious, I guess they were not kidding about taking less from "feeder" schools

[wanton vale]

can I add you? @lavish marlin

[lavish marlin]

Sure but for what 😭

[wanton vale]

😦

[prime oxide]

Yeah I guess so, I heard a rumor (just a rumor) that the kids from last year weren’t that great so they took less

[wanton vale]

wanted to ask some questions

[lavish marlin]

Oh yeah

[prime oxide]

I doubt it’s true

[uncut wolf]

(from accpeted) I wrote about my sexuality and where I came from. I don't think I can give any "tips" because im not admission officer but like write about what like a heart warming story of where you come from.

For community essay

[prime oxide]

Is that the any person any study one?

Or smth else

[uncut wolf]

Is that fo rme?

[prime oxide]

The community essay

Or is it a school specific one

[uncut wolf]

Ohhh yea it is

[prime oxide]

Ohhhh

Makes sense then I was so confused

[uncut wolf]

wait

no it isnt

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?

[uncut wolf]

I wrote this for that one

I assumed he was tlkaing about this community essay

[eager acorn]

Thank you you’re great

[uncut wolf]

:)

[prime oxide]

Ohhh I answered the other one

About a research project

I did diversity in my any person any study essay instead

[uncut wolf]

I can send you my essays if you'd like

[peak ice]

When you think of diversity go beyond your background - think of maybe intellectual or emotional diversity

[eager acorn]

Sure!!

[uncut wolf]

I did my academic jourey for that one

[peak ice]

My essay was more intellectual and emotional based

[prime oxide]

That makes sense yeah

Although ofc take all advice w a grain of salt, all we speak on is what happened to work for us

[manic ether]

i did engineering problem for my app

[uncut wolf]

There's no correct answer for essays

[manic ether]

but i wrote mine about algos since cs

[uncut wolf]

All you gotta do is write about yourself but ngl that's hard

[peak ice]

Yup just be true to yourself

[uncut wolf]

I decided not to write about reserach beacuse my 2 other essays was already academic related so I tried to have an essay more about myself hwich is why I chose community over reserach

[ionic belfry]

Oh also I didn’t send this with the stress of yesterday but sunset photo for u kids

[manic ether]

Still no corn

jokes aside thats a fire photo

[ionic belfry]

I’ll magic some corn in the sky for you

[manic ether]

its gonna teleport to urbana-cornfield sorry

[dusk basin]

its beautiful

[manic ether]

but ill be the one to set things right
to build that cornfield

[peak ice]

Soon to be sunsets

[dusk basin]

least corn-obsessed illinois resident

[manic ether]

um actually we grow more soybeans 🤓

[peak ice]

Guys my friends

Bought me a piece of corn today lmaooo

[lavish marlin]

LITERALLY news spread so quick cuz apparently my teacher knew before we told them

[peak ice]

I know idk how everyone knew so fast

[uncut wolf]

It's a big deal getting into an amainzg coolege :)

[prime oxide]

It actually did yeah 😭

[sage shoal]

wait so do counselors and teachers know our acceptances before us?? 😭

[lavish marlin]

like its scary how quick everyone said it

[ionic belfry]

Trust me they’re gonna keep doing it

[lavish marlin]

IDKK I TRIED ASKING BUT IT ONLY LED ME TO A TEACHER THAT I DIDNT TELL

[ionic belfry]

It’s sweet tho

[lavish marlin]

good grief pls stop the madness i like being unknown and not talked about

[peak ice]

Ppl who I’ve never talked too figured it out too

I was like it’s just a school

[ionic belfry]

I remember being at ap testing and people were like omg omg

[lavish marlin]

fr some person ive never talked to knew before the teacher????

[peak ice]

All the students told my teachers

[ionic belfry]

Also keep in mind that y’all are ed

It’s their first taste of oh my god my classmates are making it

[peak ice]

I think it’s just big in my school cause only like 1-2 people go Ivy a year

[lavish marlin]

someone got into northeastern and tufts ed and the athletes got into wesleyan and williams but thats it

[ionic belfry]

That’s crazy then

[peak ice]

Yesssssir

I posted my reaction video on tiktok just now lmfao

[uncut wolf]

Yoooo share

[lavish marlin]

I said a lot of “thank you, I appreciate it”s from the montage of congratulations at school today but I feel like my replies were kinda short idk 😅

I’m reading into this too much 💀

[peak ice]

I copy pasted on my insta

Because I had to respond to like 150 ppl

[ionic belfry]

Lmao you posted the reaction on your insta?

[peak ice]

[weak valve]

:(

Thats sunrise

My pretty sunset pic is of my local library

[lavish marlin]

How cold does Ithaca get

[wraith mesa]

dont worry ur efforts are awesome those still look wonderful

but cuck fornell cap is too good

[lavish marlin]

It’s starting to dawn on me that my year long cold while in NYC is gonna get even worse at Cornell 💀

[wraith mesa]

just bring warm jackets

[lavish marlin]

5 layer jacket

[wraith mesa]

are u from the northeast?

[lavish marlin]

NYC yeah

[wraith mesa]

oh yea

ur fine it doesnt change much tbh upstate

[lavish marlin]

Ah ok

[wraith mesa]

ik ny can drop down to below 20

[weak valve]

Lowest its been

Is 22 w windchill

So far

[lavish marlin]

You guys get snow every year right

[weak valve]

Its just like nyc

There was no snow last yr

[wraith mesa]

its always snowing there and then ends up not snowing where I am

[lavish marlin]

NYC had like no snow last year 🥹

[wraith mesa]

like bruh it turns into rain here

[lavish marlin]

Aw

[manic ether]

_ _

[lavish marlin]

Very insightful

[ionic belfry]

Bad for warm weather people and mid for everyone else

I’ve only worn a jacket once this semester

[thorny violet]

I agree with this, I talked about my love of webnovels for the "any person any study" and how much I loved hearing other people's stories and sharing my own--basically just how I loved human connection

[manic ether]

i wrote about a connection of my heritage with my experiences

idk if thats gonna be good but eh

[lavish marlin]

Oh good thing I’m not from California

[manic ether]

is it too different from IL

i dont think too much

[ionic belfry]

V similar

[thorny violet]

Hopefully I won't die lol, I prefer the cold anyway

[twilit current]

it’s not that bad

def buy winter boots and winter jacket

wow cornell was popular for ED this year

[lavish marlin]

winter is my fav season cuz of snow

[peak ice]

I wrote about how music makes me feel in different ways and the ways different music genres forge to create infinite possibilities (similar to tons of new perspectives)

[thorny violet]

SAME, the crispness of the air is also so so good

[cinder thistle]

I’m Cali

It’s not bad at all

[lavish marlin]

Does Cornell make students use Cornell notes

[weak valve]

No

[prime oxide]

HUGE

[lavish marlin]

My school tried to get everyone to use Cornell notes in the first few weeks and I had to hide the fact that I was applying cuz the slander was going crazy 😭

Glad it all worked out in the end tho

[vapid dirge]

my econ teacher forced us to do cornell notes for one unit and everyone hated it lol

that unit made me almost not apply ED lol but im glad I did

[wraith mesa]

SAMEEE

[lavish marlin]

Don’t worry guys

One day the Cornell slander will stop 🛑 ✋

Alright who am I kidding 💀

[wraith mesa]

nah im slandering ithaca when I feel like it

but jk this school is wonderful

[manic ether]

ill not slander this school until unless i get rejected

then i leave nothing out

[thorny violet]

I'm not going to lie, I kind of like Cornell notes, the format makes sense in my head

[uncut wolf]

What’s Cornell notes

[jaunty juniper]

If you would like the link to the Cornell ‘28 server run by current Cornell students, you may DM @abstract nimbus. Note that class of ‘28 servers are not officially endorsed by A2C unless stated otherwise.

Edit: link so you don’t have to dm anymore: discord.gg/b5nsYU27jC

ApplyingToCollege

[lavish marlin]

is it weird that i kind of feel regret that if i rd'd i could've seen more options for schools?? i liked stanford and i did cornell cuz it was the highest possible chance i could get in but if i did stanford rd and got in i would've probably chosen that. I know that i can't change my cornell commitment now but i would've definitely considered stanford if they accepted me (which is a very low percent but not impossible) something about silicon valley and california intrigues me. also would stanford's acceptance rate be lower because im from out of state (ny)?

like i feel guilty for even thinking it but there's that

[maiden beacon]

Dude thats fucking insane

They are asking me for 70k a year

I have to meet with the financial aid people because thats just completely unrealistic for my family

[vapid mica]

no need for a loci right?

[ionic hearth]

Same its how i do most of my notes

i think it's scientifically proven to be effective

[prime oxide]

I made a similar sacrifice, just with mit instead of Stanford. I think the insane difficulty of getting in just makes it a lot less worth it tbh

[thorny violet]

I wish I could say something like comforting or say that ED is only for your top choice, but it's really not that simple ☹️, I think the best thing you can do is to get excited for the time you'll have at Cornell rather than linger in regret

[lavish marlin]

Yeah, I have a feeling any regret you’d have is likely to simmer away during your first year in college. The overhype of college admissions and the sudden fall after the adrenaline rush is over will soon be replaced by a more stable college reassurance most likely

[chrome nova]

Tbh I do not have a top choice, I dradass just Ed d wherever my mom wanted from my list cause I did not care 💀

[lavish marlin]

My mom was buggin me day in day out to ED Columbia too 💀

[chrome nova]

I live freely I do not give a FUCK

[chrome nova]

LOWKEY If I did Penn or Columbia I think I mightve gotten in

[lavish marlin]

I thought you did Columbia

[chrome nova]

BRO SHARI GOTTA FUCK OFF WITH THIS “share ur decisions” EMIAL

[lavish marlin]

LOL

[chrome nova]

I did

[chrome nova]

U pulling up to the party sun?

[lavish marlin]

I’m pulling up to aspects III

[chrome nova]

Prep party

[lavish marlin]

I never got an email

[chrome nova]

[lavish marlin]

Maybe I did idk, I blocked a few Pepe addresses lmfao

I’m fucked anywhere I apply so it’s wtv

[lavish marlin]

Just manifest the words of Ezra Cornell

Any person any study

[chrome nova]

Shut up

Bud give me ur supps

And family and income and brain scans

[lavish marlin]

Sounds like a plan

[chrome nova]

And maybe ur transcripts passing them off as my own

[chrome nova]

🙏

[lavish marlin]

Ofc ofc

[manic ether]

yeah my 3.7 uw looking ass is not getting in

[chrome nova]

Calm down I alos have a 3.7

[lavish marlin]

3.7 for Cornell is lowkey calm

[mortal blade]

Did anyone else get deferred

[manic ether]

i am NOT any person any study

im a generic asian male in cs

[chrome nova]

Aren’t we all

[lavish marlin]

Fr

[karmic jasper]

me! and a bunch of others

[manic ether]

lowkey just need to reduce the wording

i might get more people to look at my essay but i think its meeting word count

[thorny violet]

I kind of wished I didn't have a dream school because it could have potentially been a huge heartache, it was super risky for me to invest myself so much in something like that

It worked out in the end for me, but I don't think it would have been pretty if it didn't, I'm always going to be really thankful for that

[ionic hearth]

My dream school journey was so strange 😭 Since 10th grade, it was Cornell. In 11th grade, I discovered UChicago and I thought it was my dream school. My parents didn't approve though, so I ended up doing Cornell ED, and it pulled through 😍 I love this place, and i can't wait to spend 4 years here. I've wasted at least 4 hours roaming campus on google maps and reading coure descriptions😭 this place really does fit me so well academically

but how are we all doing???

[thorny violet]

I denied that Cornell was my dream school up until mid 10th grade, but really started in 8th grade—I can't wait to spend 4 years too, there's so much I want to do here

[ionic hearth]

https://scl.cornell.edu/residential-life/housing/campus-housing/first-year-undergraduates-campus-housing

[thorny violet]

Are you thinking about a program house or just going to let the gods of RNG take the wheel with the residential halls?

I actually looked at housing today 😭

[ionic hearth]

I KNOWWW I have my first 4 years like mapped out 😭

• i wanna do math, cs, stats
• i wanna take the skiing gym class
• i wanna do flag football intramurals
• i wanna sled down the slope
• i wanna study korean abroad at yonsei

[lavish marlin]

My dream school went like:

10th Grade - Debating Stanford or Carnegie Mellon

11th Grade - Stanford or Cornell

12th Grade - Self explanatory LOL

[ionic hearth]

sameee

I might do McLLU but i'm not sure, more than likely i'm letting the gods of RNG go through

[ionic hearth]

McLLU seem's really cool but i'm not sure if i really deserve a spot there 😭 i feel like it should go to someone who needs it more

[thorny violet]

Woah, you're way more planned out than me, I'm just waiting to see the opportunities as they come and what I see for each semester, but honestly it helps that CALS's distribution requirements are really light

[lavish marlin]

I was the most indecisive little shit from middle school to sophomore year 😭

[ionic hearth]

but it feels good to have dreams and aspirations

[prime oxide]

i have no clue what im gonna do LOL

You should apply if you really like it, I thought it was cool when I saw a video about it, but I'm probably not culturally diverse enough...

[ionic hearth]

|| I have fallen in love with the idea of being a high school math teacher... the teacher who wrote me a rec just ranted about how stupid it was to go to an ivy if you want to be a teacher 😭 ||

[ionic hearth]

|| same 😭 ||

[prime oxide]

my english teacher from last year went to cornell!

[thorny violet]

||Being whitewashed is really kicking me in the butt 😭||

[lavish marlin]

Oh yeah I had my wannabe professor phase too

Become the next Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman

[wind imp]

one of the teachers here went to northwestern

not an ivy but

[thorny violet]

Go do what you love ☹️ I genuinely wanted to go into educating once, but I realized my calling is elsewhere

[ionic hearth]

My goal 🥺 i want to make people fall in love with math

[ionic hearth]

fairrr

[thorny violet]

I think for housing I'm just going to let RNG determine where I go after I put in my preferences

[ionic hearth]

Yea

I can't wait to do all the stufffsss sunday can't come soon enough

[thorny violet]

I'll need to talk to my big sister when she finally comes home about whether I should put my preference for a single or a double

[manic ether]

i didnt give a shit until like summer

and then i was gonna ed cmu then it changed to corn then i changed to nothing for finaid reasons

[thorny violet]

Did you contact him yet or are you leaving it as a surprise? Was he proud?

[ionic hearth]

I have!!

he was, he basically ranted about how i should believe in myself more

[thorny violet]

LMAO, that's so funny, but he's right, I bet he loves you a lot

[prime oxide]

Do yall know when orientation starts

[ionic hearth]

I have no ideaaa

are any of yall looking at the winter wardrobe 😍

i can't wait to pull out my old ski jacket

purify some old memories

[maiden beacon]

Did anybody else here get a shit finaid package from cornell?

[ionic hearth]

and eat some snow

[maiden beacon]

if I dont get a good appeal i might legitimately have to back out

[ionic hearth]

kind of, i got the package i expected which is shit

we can afford though

so yeah

[maiden beacon]

expected parent contribution for me is 70k a year

which is completely ludicrous

[ionic hearth]

but yeah go through appeal, and just explain

[maiden beacon]

I have no idea how they arrived at that number

[ionic hearth]

they will probably be understanding

[maiden beacon]

yeah hopefully they will be

[ionic hearth]

CSS profile i think

[ionic hearth]

IIRC Cornell is one of the best schools for aid

[maiden beacon]

do you think they will be more generous once the FAFSA comes out?

[severe idol]

What the fu-

[maiden beacon]

yeah I know its pretty ridiculous because I am literally just middle class, pretty much no assets

I have no idea why they are asking so much

I hope it was an inaccuracy in the CSS profile I filled out

[severe idol]

Because corn

[maiden beacon]

basically

the corn premium

[lavish marlin]

I need to start thinking about dorms

The idea of having a roommate is kinda scary tho ngl

[prime oxide]

Oh ok 😭

[ionic hearth]

Yea 😭 but at the same time i really need it cause i have social anxiety and otherwise i won't learn how to connect to ppl

[manic ether]

according to the people here, corn ed was around 15%

[ionic hearth]

how does roomate finding work? ik some people do it on like instagram outside of school but not sure

[lavish marlin]

Yeah same, I need to learn

[ionic hearth]

🥰

[manic ether]

but considering lots of people didnt fill it out im willing to bet that number is like

[prime oxide]

HOPING mine is good

[manic ether]

12-13%

[lavish marlin]

Does the school officially pair people automatically or do people figure out rooms between themselves (sorry if stupid question lol)

[manic ether]

which is down from like 20

[prime oxide]

I thought it was closer to 12 but idk

[lavish marlin]

Crazy drop from last year right? Used to be 21% some time ago

[manic ether]

not nearly close to rd acceptance rates but considering a lot of people apply as a joke i think it almost balances out meaning i still have a chnce

[prime oxide]

You know it’s bad when they notify ahead of time

[prime oxide]

RD should be higher yeah

[manic ether]

i think itll be lower actually, hot take

[prime oxide]

Than normal?? Really

[manic ether]

more people will apply after seeing that they will be getting more rd people in

[prime oxide]

Is Cornell climbing in competitiveness or smth

[manic ether]

leading to overall decrease

[prime oxide]

Ohh interesting

[manic ether]

thats my prediction

[prime oxide]

Cornell will be top 10 according to us news then trust

[manic ether]

ofc im hoping that doesnt happen cause i wanna get in

[ionic hearth]

So as far as I can gather from the previous years, you can either use Cornell's built in matchmaking:

• You fill out a form with preferences
• They match you with someone with agreeable preferences
  Or you find someone else and indicate on each other's apps that you wanna be roomates

[prime oxide]

Jkjk

[ionic hearth]

but im not sure

[manic ether]

its gone from publics >>>>>>> cornell to a toss

[ionic hearth]

100%

[manic ether]

not considering finaid ofc

if we consider finaid corn sucks

lowkey dont regret not ED though

i like my options being open

[prime oxide]

Ok good to know thank you

[lavish marlin]

Thanks! Will keep this in mind. I might try to match with a roommate normally

[manic ether]

unfortunate part of life

[ionic hearth]

Ye same - i've heard that it can be hit or miss, but i imagine if they match the stuff it will be fine

[thorny violet]

You don't have to worry too early, housing doesn't even open until April

[lavish marlin]

Oh ok that’s calm

[thorny violet]

Also, they don't have anything like first come first serve because of the housing rng, so you don't have to worry about filling it out as soon as possible either

[lavish marlin]

Best ivy ong

[prime oxide]

For my major it is!

[lavish marlin]

Same 🥰

Cornell reference?

[prime oxide]

🤩

[prime oxide]

omg crazy

[thorny violet]

Same!!

I'm reconsidering ecology house for a second... Having a private bathroom just with one other person would be really nice...

[ionic hearth]

😳 i love these in airports

[ionic hearth]

Yes this!

take ur timeee

[lavish marlin]

I'm at the Weill Cornell Medical Center lol 😆

[ionic hearth]

WAIT there is an ecology house 😍

[ionic hearth]

WAIT

ur at cornell rn ⁉️

[lavish marlin]

In NYC

I think their medical school is in NYC

Cuz that's where I'm at rn... I think

[ionic hearth]

ye it is

Cornell weill is very prestigious

[lavish marlin]

That's awesome

[ionic hearth]

i should fashion post here omg

[thorny violet]

Ecology is apparently a little farther from campus than first year housing, only drawback really

[ionic hearth]

it sounds really cool

[lavish marlin]

I guess it's time I actually learn about cornell

[thorny violet]

This is super real, I only learned today about the distribution requirements for CALS because I just assumed it would be ok and it was luckily

[prime oxide]

LOL same

[weak valve]

I want to go back so bad

Omfg

I cant take it here 💀

[manic ether]

h

i mean it would be funny if i went there

jae dont you live in like the GA area

[prime oxide]

Does Cornell automatically send merch or do we have to buy

Stupid question ik

[thorny violet]

I thought Jae lived in NY because doesn't she have a parent faculty discount on her tuition?

[weak valve]

No

I live in westchester

[weak valve]

Depends on the college you’re in

But most don’t get a good merch acceptance package

Even the class of 2027 tshirt

Though it was free

You had to find the code and order it yourself

[prime oxide]

Ohhh ok

[prime oxide]

That’s so weird 😭

[molten hull]

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

[weak valve]

Yeah idk

The coe package is as

Ass

[molten hull]

I think this is the link

[weak valve]

All we got was a sticker saying

I AM A CORNELL ENGINEER.

[prime oxide]

Dang that’s where I am headed

Bad first impression

[weak valve]

LOL

[prime oxide]

JKJK IT DOESNT MATTER

[weak valve]

No but fr tho

My Emory package was sm cuter

Like..

[prime oxide]

They need the yield more ig 😔

[wraith mesa]

wait

thats it? no popcorn, no other stickers?

[thorny violet]

Maybe the cals acceptance package will be a little cuter... I want a cow sticker at least.. :(

Also, what's this about a cinder block in the things not bring section of the housing checklist?

[weak valve]

No

lol

[wraith mesa]

Nooooo

Imagine someone stuck the sticker "I am a cornell engineer" to the back of their laptop 💀

[abstract nimbus]

Trust me there's a reason why I made bootleg stickers 💀

[wraith mesa]

U made ur own?

[lavish marlin]

Eternally crowned 💀

[wraith mesa]

Can I see?

[abstract nimbus]

I made cornhell stickers for the memes

[lavish marlin]

🌽

[wraith mesa]

is it like cuck fornell type stickers

[lavish marlin]

There's a cornwll book store at weill cornell medical centerr, might drop by

[weak valve]

They do

LOL

[abstract nimbus]

@wraith mesa

[weak valve]

Why you photo shoot in a bathroom

😭

W marketing

[abstract nimbus]

lolol

I mean I need to order more cornhell stickers

[wraith mesa]

LMAOOOOOO

[wraith mesa]

how u know thats a bathroom

[wraith mesa]

MOLE how do u make these

[weak valve]

Stall hooks

[wraith mesa]

oh

[abstract nimbus]

I also have this but it's my own

[wraith mesa]

oh do u like make it in like ps or some graphic app

and then just print it out

[abstract nimbus]

I draw in procreate

[manic ether]

if i get in and commit

on the drive there i will be playing highway to hell

[wraith mesa]

ooh ok

[wraith mesa]

most parallax moment

[abstract nimbus]

I participate in random design contests at Cornell sometimes

If I drop out of engineering digital design is alt route

@weak valve hey you're the one that's transferring outta engineering tho

[manic ether]

will i get in doe

[lavish marlin]

YES YOU WILL 🫡🫡👹🙌👏🤝💪

[weak valve]

Shhh

[manic ether]

prayin

[weak valve]

My moms gonna kill my

Me

[lavish marlin]

Why r u transferring out

[abstract nimbus]

She's premed and realized BME is not the best option

[weak valve]

CAs

[lavish marlin]

Oh

[weak valve]

Yes

[abstract nimbus]

Which is low-key valid

[weak valve]

Bro its not even accreditted

Wtaf

LOL

like what

[abstract nimbus]

Because no reason to tank you GPA

Cornell ECE is I think

[weak valve]

Bme is the only one

Not

NDKXNKSSO

😭

[abstract nimbus]

CS isn't either

[prime oxide]

Is it easy to transfer out of engineering?

[lavish marlin]

I heard it's hard to transfer in but easier (relatively) to transfer out

[weak valve]

Yea

[prime oxide]

Ayy that’s good then

[weak valve]

Generally

Transfer is facilitated by a good gpa

[prime oxide]

Right right makes sense

[weak valve]

And taking classes for the major u want to transfer to

[prime oxide]

Gpa seems relatively important

[weak valve]

So as long as u take classes in the major

Ur fine

[prime oxide]

Ohhh ok makes sense

Good luck w swapping!

[manic ether]

cs is not accredited?

[wraith mesa]

Nah

Jk ur getting in Im feeling it

[abstract nimbus]

Nah, the CS accreditation is a bit stupid which is why Cornell doesn't follow it

[manic ether]

fair enough

[abstract nimbus]

Like accreditation also doesn't really matter cuz it's Cornell CS

[manic ether]

that actually works out

[abstract nimbus]

Cuz CS isn't like for example Civil Engineering

[manic ether]

cornells the only ivy that can compete with my public apps so only ivy im applying to 🙏🙏🙏

[abstract nimbus]

Where not being accredited means bridges are shady

[lavish marlin]

Dub

[manic ether]

bridges…

one word popped up when you mentioned bridges

||nets||

[abstract nimbus]

yeah very good question on if the nets are built by accredited engineers :)

[manic ether]

if i get accepted here ill have to go there to see if i should commit

[wraith mesa]

Mikal bridges?

[ionic hearth]

what about arts science

[ionic hearth]

omg this was a great meme

[weak valve]

idk

i didnt get into arts and science

ik they got a sticker

they mightve gotten smth else too

@spring scroll ^

[spring scroll]

i think i got a sticker

but i may have lost it

im not sure i did get a banner thing tho

[weak valve]

u def got a sticker

cas gets a

normal sticker

coe gets a

borderline troll sticker

💀

[ionic hearth]

ORdered a shirt 😍

probably rash but its only 20 bucks

[scenic slate]

did anyone here apply for architecture?

[quick spoke]

are there any rd folks left on this thread

[weak valve]

@manic ether

[quick spoke]

bro what

how did he get osu offer so soon

for me it is still "evaluation" on the portal for god knows how long already

[jaunty juniper]

Ohio state?

They do two EA rounds

[quick spoke]

and when is the 2nd orund

[jaunty juniper]

Check #📆-decision-dates or the website

Idk it off the top of my head

[thorny violet]

Fun lol, I want a pullover sweater but I think all the cute ones are really expensive at the moment so I might just wait to see if it's cheaper on campus

[ionic belfry]

There’s a clearance section on campus that has solid stuff

Also employees get 40% off lmao

[dusk basin]

me

[thorny violet]

Glad to know, I will only be found in that section

[manic ether]

h

[manic ether]

yeah got in first round, second round is in jan

[elfin thunder]

for cornell 350 word prompt can i write about a travel experience that was an important segment of my life

it doesnt relate at all to anything else on my profile

but i realized a few hours ago its meaningful

[wraith mesa]

[elfin thunder]

oh wait nvm lol its a diversity prompt sorry dumb question

[near harbor]

how do I find the code?

[thorny violet]

I think a different perspective is also considered diversity

[prime oxide]

yeah it definitely is

[vapid dirge]

100% is, wrote about that in my essay

[near harbor]

I wrote about gaining a diverse perspective from traveling in mine

[prime oxide]

I wrote about unique life experiences and how that shaped me

[thorny violet]

I think the beauty of that prompt is that you can basically write about anything there, I wrote about webnovels and hearing other people's stories

[prime oxide]

Yeah it’s so open ended

I honestly interpreted any person any study as helping others, not about myself directly 😭

[stone musk]

Anybody got like average stats for Dyson (academics). 3% acceptance probably means they are CRAZYYYYY AS FUCK

[outer jolt]

Yea it's insane

That's why I need Riley to talk to the AOs

[lucid heart]

this prompt is so difficult omg

[prime oxide]

Is that what it is???

That’s prolly worse than engineering

[stone musk]

It was actually lower lol

[prime oxide]

Jesus Christ

[outer jolt]

And they're Test blind

It's over for me

[stone musk]

Yeah that seems pretty sad actually

[outer jolt]

My test score has carried in all my apps so far

Now I'm on my own 😔

[stone musk]

You got your EC’s mate!!!

[outer jolt]

3% + ivy

Dyson is legit lower AR than wharton wtf

[stone musk]

Ivy is irrelevant when it’s 3%

[outer jolt]

I mean the ppl applying are cracked

[stone musk]

Real

However, anyone from Dyson kind enough to let us know their stats… thanks!!

[ionic belfry]

Cause public

[outer jolt]

Wdym public

[ionic belfry]

Dyson is a public school

NY residents get half of tuition

[outer jolt]

Wtf

Idek if I should apply atp

[stone musk]

I had no fucking clue about that lol

[ionic belfry]

Lmao dw most people don’t

[rough turret]

cornell is test blind??

[ionic belfry]

Business is

[outer jolt]

Dyson

[near harbor]

Is there a Cornell 2028 discord?

[prime oxide]

Dms

[rough turret]

o ok got me nervous for a sec lol

[ionic hearth]

Ya I'm just grabbing the cheapest one LMAO

[ionic hearth]

👀👀

[uncut wolf]

I wrote about my academic journey

was not very special but I tried ot be as genuine

[stiff light]

I talked about the Black diaspora and how I fell in love with cultures and how I would bring my love of diversity to Cornell to help create a more inclusive campus (I got rejected so take this with a grain of salt lmaooo)

I applied to CAS as a gender studies + info science major for more context

[lucid heart]

u got in?

[uncut wolf]

yes

it was also my "worst" essay

[stiff light]

Nah it was prolly pretty good fr ❤️ which school was it?

[uncut wolf]

Cornell lol

[stiff light]

Nah I mean if it was Dyson or brooks lmao

Sumn like that

[uncut wolf]

COmputer scinece Engieering

[ionic hearth]

😳

[manic ether]

im applying cs coe lmaooooo how screwed am i

[uncut wolf]

Depends if u are more screwed than me when I applied

[manic ether]

covid knocked my goa out of what id consider “good” by .1

and im rd
everything else seems fine

[uncut wolf]

my gpa is kinda low ngl also

but also my school greades like hell

[ionic hearth]

I feel like i should mention that even though I got in have no idea in hell how it happened and am like kind of clueless 😭 so if i give advice it might be shit

[manic ether]

i had a bunch of teachers that didnt teach their class at all and were hard graders and i cant do shit about it

like this one mf was like “this is a hard class expect Bs and Cs 🤓🤓🤓” and i shoulda fucking dropped the class but didnt

[prime oxide]

yes everything should be taken w a grain of salt in general

[stiff light]

Prolly good stats dw 😭

[manic ether]

without covid my gpa is a 3.8

[stiff light]

Omg real my AP Calc class has test grades account for 80% of your whole grade 😦

[manic ether]

without ass teachers + teachers who taught the subject for the first time im willing to bet its a 3.9

but imma 3.7, which apparently is mediocre 💀

[stiff light]

Ig it depends on your other stats as well, your ecs can make up for it

Also your essays

My ecs were ok I think I didn't do them for long enough

[manic ether]

i think i might change my ap scholar award to one of my certs

[manic ether]

arguably i spend the most time and effort on my main ECs more than almost anyone else in my school

no one applied ED here to corn anyways so i could have a shot

[stiff light]

I had internships at congress and IBM which were mid looking back on it

[manic ether]

i got an internship its local though

and i need to get back in it i forgot

[near harbor]

I had a brief externship at a local civil eng company and not really any other work experience
gonna start looking tho

[near harbor]

same feeling for me but with rice and mit

[manic ether]

if i EDd here i woulda regretted uiuc and gatech

public schools are not to be slept on

[near harbor]

Do I have to withdraw all my apps immediately?

[stiff light]

Did any of you do test optional?

[tidal fiber]

i am probably

isnt the average like 1480

[prime oxide]

all math classes at my school are 90

[uncut wolf]

I decided to submit 34 act

I was scared cuz 34 act like not it

[thorny violet]

I applied to CALS, which was test-blind but I probably would have gone test-optional otherwise

[twilit current]

my fellow test optional chad

[thorny violet]

My score was...ok? But my math section score was just too questionable 😭

[manic ether]

wdym its absolutely it

[uncut wolf]

What is “too much questionable”

[uncut wolf]

32 reading 💀

[thorny violet]

700 math...

[uncut wolf]

What major?

[thorny violet]

Biological Sciences

[uncut wolf]

:(

Have you tried ACt?

[ionic hearth]

@ionic belfry did you by chance write this 🤭 https://admissions.cornell.edu/community/blog/playing-sports-campus

[thorny violet]

Well, no need now because I'm going to CALS 😭

[ionic belfry]

LMFAO no

[thorny violet]

I took the ACT for fun however a week ago

[uncut wolf]

I see…. Well

Standardized scores aren’t everything

[ionic hearth]

In fact, for CALS, they are nothing

[uncut wolf]

:)))

[light kestrel]

how stringent is brooks on test optional ppl kep on tellibg me i have no shot bc im doing TO

[uncut wolf]

I’m not sure….

[manic ether]

i have a 31 reading LMAO

35s in everything else though

[thorny violet]

Real, lol

I just had no patience to get my math score up because I could have easily gotten it up but it felt so trivial when my dream school didn't even consider it, even if I was planning to apply to other top schools

I think honestly the most useful thing I got out of the SAT was test-taking stamina, but I also do 3+ hour quiz-style contests in the spring multiple times a week starting in March, which means I'm never really get burnt out by the end of long tests tbh

[ionic hearth]

Exactly, and honestly I don't think it would have helped much for the others either consider test optional

[ionic hearth]

👀

[manic ether]

im litearlly rotating between "i think i have a decent shot" and "its over before it started"

im more on the "its over before it started" track rn

cause ngl it kinda is

[true crypt]

why are the essays so long...

😭

here i come writing common app essay v2 i guess

[manic ether]

aint you got into yale already dawg

anyways imo CoE has really good supps

[true crypt]

yeah but im a cs majorrrr

isn't cornell like much better for cs

[manic ether]

yeah its the only ivy that can compete with top publics imo

though some people would gladly disagree with me

[prime oxide]

Are the supps that long?

[manic ether]

for CoE its not too bad

[prime oxide]

That’s what I thought yeah

[manic ether]

considering umich

[true crypt]

650w why us essay for CAS 🙂

[prime oxide]

Only 850 words total

[manic ether]

if youre cs why not coe

[prime oxide]

Oh Jesus Christ (engineering better)

[true crypt]

CAS has cs too AFAIK

[manic ether]

yeah but coe has better supps

[prime oxide]

Isn’t coe harder to get into

[true crypt]

and im more of a liberal arts education person rather than die doing engineering person

[manic ether]

theyre both the same

[prime oxide]

Oh rly?

[ionic hearth]

CAS >>>

i liked the cas essay ngl

[manic ether]

anyways should i change my major to undecided coe and if so should i rewrite my eng problem supp, cause right now is how i would develop algorithms and use APIs

[ionic hearth]

ye do CAS u get a solid gen ed base with like arts, philosophy, social science stuff

[manic ether]

i will gladly die doing eng cause ive already come close to it on multiple ocasions

[prime oxide]

You could do that yeah

[manic ether]

cs is impossible to get into

its already over dawg why am i stressing about this

ik imma get flat out laughed at in the admissions office istg

[outer jolt]

Why does Cornell want me to write another CAPS centered around them 😭

650 word why us Essay is diabolical

[prime oxide]

That’s long yeah

[thorny violet]

I genuinely think the length of the supplementals helped me because I think the "story-telling quality" of my essays as one of my friends put it 😭 is one of my biggest strengths

[ionic belfry]

Back at the place that got me into Cornell core

[lavish marlin]

I agree I think i really told a story and painted a canvas essentially in my common app and supplemental❤️

but again who knows what got me in there's a lot of factors bc i wasn't terrible in any of my sections of my app

[twilit current]

what is that

[thorny violet]

Right, it's hard to tell, I really wish that they let me know what part of my application they really like

[manic ether]

ok hello i need help

with like everything

[ionic belfry]

Restaurant

[twilit current]

how did that get you into cornell

[ionic belfry]

Worked here all of hs

Used it in my essay and got a rly good lor

I missed it sm this is lowkey my home I was here sm

[haughty crown]

Sweet

[manic ether]

i havent seen that before

then again i only go to like 3 resturants in the north

[ionic belfry]

Northbrook

[manic ether]

yeah havent been there, might go sometime if i get in

or maybe go there regardless idk

[ionic belfry]

Lmao why would getting in affect it

[haughty crown]

@ionic belfry do you know anyone that got in ED to Nolan this year?

[manic ether]

idfk at this point '

[ionic belfry]

Yeah ik like 5 kids

They’re p selective ed don’t sweat it

[manic ether]

im getting so stressed from applying here that i think its already set in stone

like i keep alternating between thinking im good and that my stats make me an autoreject/my essays arent good enough

[haughty crown]

Ok cool

I just haven’t seen anyone so far and I was wondering what my deferral meant.

[ionic belfry]

Usually just that they want you to show more interest

[agile schooner]

Wait so would the public policy school be a lot harder to get into than the normal college for like a poli sci person?

[weak valve]

My top ec was discord modding

[manic ether]

bro put that as an actual EC

[weak valve]

Yes like 3 of my ECs

Or smth

[manic ether]

real

my main ECs are leadership (atleast i dont struggle there)

[weak valve]

Yeah

[prime oxide]

actually?

thats so funny

[manic ether]

oh shit i just realized ill have to rewrite both of my engineering supplements if i put undeclared

yeah nvm im applying as a cs, gonna be impossible af

[sand hearth]

cornell cut the ed acceptance rate this year and you got deferred so I wouldn't worry too much

lmk if you want me to take a look at your stuff n I can try to give pointers

but there is a certain point when it's just luck

[weak valve]

Good evening

[manic ether]

was it a huge cut

my thinking is like 20% -> around 12% but idk

[sand hearth]

konbanwa

[sand hearth]

I don't think they released data yet

[manic ether]

context im a super paranoid RDer

[sand hearth]

they usually wait until after RD acceptances for something liek that

[manic ether]

ik i just am thinking of predictions

[sand hearth]

I was too

[manic ether]

acceptance rate in the poll in this thread is around 16%

but considering the skewing of a2c applicants im putting the number around 12-14%

[weak valve]

Defer to accept pipeline?

[sand hearth]

well consider that some people who also didn't get in don't want to broadcast it

[manic ether]

just accept

[sand hearth]

so really don't trust any of these statistics lmao

[manic ether]

still, the overall ED rate would be lower than advertised because of the obvious skewing of a2c

[weak valve]

Also personally when i got in

I wasnt active on discord

😭

[sand hearth]

yeah, same

[weak valve]

I was busy talking to my parents

Or friends

[manic ether]

there are prob a lot of corn EDers out of discord

[sand hearth]

I just lurked a2c reddit a LOT

[sand hearth]

corn lmao

[manic ether]

i should be calling it ell ngl

yall got no corn whatsover

[weak valve]

We grow the best corn

[sand hearth]

yeah real agricultural letdown

[weak valve]

Oh

[manic ether]

thatll be my waitlist letter

[sand hearth]

i haven't seen any corn myself ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[manic ether]
