[thorny violet]

You're welcome? I'm not quite sure what I did to be honest 😭

[low jetty]

les go boys

[ionic hearth]

you have inspired me to east asian studies minor

[thorny violet]

I see I see, I hope it works out for you!!

I keep switching what kind of minor I want to do, there are too many interesting classes and fields of study....

[ionic hearth]

i knowwwww

so much to choose from

[timber pagoda]

ok so

im thinking of applying arts and sciences instead of cals

[ionic hearth]

Fwiw

the admissions criteria is very

different

iirc

[weak valve]

Why

[timber pagoda]

more options to minor in langauges

[thorny violet]

You can minor across colleges

[timber pagoda]

REALLY??

[weak valve]

Yeah you can minor in anything

[timber pagoda]

ooo ok ok thats awesome

[thorny violet]

It wouldn't be very "any person any study" of them to limit minors to colleges tbh

That's why I talked about the anthropology minor despite the college I'm going to being CALS

[ionic hearth]

My plan is complete

😍

[pseudo tartan]

🙏

[ionic belfry]

Babe of course 😭

Im probs doubling in minors

[finite lynx]

kinda random but what's the biggest auditorium in dyson (if there even is one?)

[ionic belfry]

I don’t think there’s a defined one

Nolan has the Statler auditorium and there r Dyson classes (and even cs) held there

[weak valve]

Hi Riley

[ionic belfry]

Warren has 175 tho

Hey jae

[weak valve]

Korei says hi too

[finite lava]

Jae is harassing me on ft

Help

I’m getting verbally abused

[weak valve]

🪞

[finite lava]

She’s gaslighting me into saying I hate her

Crazy times

[finite lynx]

would it be weird if i say Alice Statler Auditorium inside my dyson essay

or can i do that normally

cuz technically don't dyson peeps also take classes in johnson

[weak valve]

Dyson is in Johnson

[ionic belfry]

Tbh you don’t know where ur classes r gonna be

Unless u check course roster ig

Johnson is the name for the two schools

[finite lynx]

so technically

I can cite statler

in my dyson essay

[ionic belfry]

I mean sure yeah

[finite lynx]

aight bet tks

[ionic belfry]

@weak valve @finite lava what time does student center update each day

I think my final grades r today

[weak valve]

2pm

[ionic belfry]

EST or cst

[weak valve]

Est

I think

[ionic belfry]

Okok so five hrs

[quick spoke]

I just tried to reuse my UMich 550' essay on this and was like wait a minute, cornell's got a different feel and they can tell, so I rewrote it more and more until everything was from scratch, and now it is 650 on the dot. I am not joking. I finished, crying rn

[haughty crown]

Wait what are you trying to say?

[finite lynx]

end the why us with a bang

thats technically the goal

[haughty crown]

Like a quote?

[finite lynx]

nah its js something i think thats cool

[frigid anchor]

for which essay?

[quick spoke]

the A&S one

650

[frigid anchor]

ohhhh

[quick spoke]

I can't fit 350 lmao

[frigid anchor]

i applied to public policy so its def different

lol

[quick spoke]

that's where my UC #8 essay comes in

[finite lynx]

facts

[frigid anchor]

yeah the community essays are so re-usable just gotta show how u fit any person any study

[quick spoke]

but I do so many rewrites of the community essay

because 250 and 350 are like 40% error

difference

[frigid anchor]

idk i talked ab my background

❤️

[quick spoke]

and theres 650 word community essays

[frigid anchor]

and fit it into the any person any study

[quick spoke]

ironically I wrote a different community (more academic) so it shapes the 650 of Cornell, UWM, UMich etc where why major is commended

and the 350 is more like me beng bicultural and learning from translation etc

the 350 is usable for cornell, uc, jhu, and ut texas(300 is manageable)

[wind imp]

Cornell is trending on Twitter rn

Bc people are outraged that someone with a 1460 sat didn’t get into Cornell 💀

[prime oxide]

I saw that on my feed

I was like “hahaha”

Also 1460 isn’t even that good by ivy stabdards

And it’s not like the ec’s were insane, neither is 4.6 (if weighted gives +1)

[ionic hearth]

Hi cornellies

[lavish marlin]

LFG

[serene fractal]

hey!! so i'm interested in majoring in polisci/ir and ik cornell has a new policy school that looks really nice. not sure if this has been asked before (couldn't find it online) but does the acceptance rate for the public policy school really differ from arts & sciences? since i have a concentrated app + ec's that circle around polisci and public policy, would it suit me better to apply to the policy school?

[lavish marlin]

🥹 snow

[manic ether]

bro 😭😭😭

[ionic belfry]

@lavish marlin

[lavish marlin]

Erm what the fuck

[manic ether]

LMAO

[ionic belfry]

LMAO

I saw that and died

[lavish marlin]

Idek what to say 💀

I’m p sure I know who wrote that

[ionic belfry]

How big is that class 😭

[ionic belfry]

LMAO

[lavish marlin]

IDK

I don’t even think I went drinking w anyone from that class

Not that I’d remember anyway

[lavish marlin]

P big

[ionic belfry]

Well at least ur a cute goth

☠️

[lavish marlin]

I’m p sure it’s some guy ik from the Cornell discord, bc idk anyone else who would know I’m both a pianist and an alcoholic from my 1110 class

[lavish marlin]

Fair fair

YOOOOOO LFG

My liquid dreams can come true now 😍

Ok well this is a hybrid but if they’re testing these bad bois “at a workshop in kimball”, my freshman ass can maybe get approval for liquids???

[ionic belfry]

Oh also 100% go for brooks

[lavish marlin]

Why does the class of 28 seem so much less neurotic than the class of 27

[manic ether]

cause theres less pure physics majors idk

[lavish marlin]

What does neurotic mean

[light kestrel]

cas has 3% lower

[lavish marlin]

I’m pure physics 💀

[light kestrel]

6% vs 9%

[ionic belfry]

Ed kids r more sane

They’re not as jaded yet

[lavish marlin]

Apparently ED was around 12% this year

[lavish marlin]

Uhm what

[manic ether]

yeah i know

[lavish marlin]

I was an ED kid and I was fuckin tweakin

[light kestrel]

💀

[lavish marlin]

I know this sounds like a “trust me bro” but I got sources supposedly

[ionic belfry]

No but the crazy ones r the kids that got deferred then waitlisted then off waitlist

[lavish marlin]

Is that better or worse than last year

[ionic belfry]

Those r the ones u can’t mess with

[lavish marlin]

Last year was 21% I think? Don’t quote me on that

I mean they did say rates would go down

Goddamn bruh

I got lucky

Lmao people keep shouting me out on that post

[manic ether]

i bet im gonna be a waitlist -> in

[lavish marlin]

U got this

You seem chill

[serene fractal]

oh really? why do u think so?

[manic ether]

idk gotta convince the AOs enough

[lavish marlin]

What app is this

[manic ether]

tho no one ik applied ED to corn

[lavish marlin]

Sidechat

[manic ether]

my calc class is extremely cracked

[serene fractal]

ok yeah so nothing crazy different

[lavish marlin]

Is this something a lot of Cornell ppl use

Like this might be weird but I’m at a small high school and most of us communicate through discord but like

At a huge school like Cornell

What’s the central hub 💀

[lavish marlin]

Ye

It’s like 4chan but for colleges

It’s all anonymous

O ok

I mostly use it to post memes

Bruh so many ppl know me bc of my internet presence 💀 like 10 random people have approached me this year asking if I’m shrdlu

I’m so lainpilled and cyberiacore

Lmao

[manic ether]

youre so what idk

[ionic belfry]

Brooks is sick

[ionic belfry]

Sidechat is what gets me through Cornell

[lavish marlin]

Alr lemme download that then

[ionic belfry]

CANT

U need ur net id

I don’t think yall have gotten it yet

[lavish marlin]

Oh alr

In due time then

[serene fractal]

real the politics and economics of development concentration is speaking to me lowkey

but the thing is i've been applying to most schools under poli sci so idk if i'm fully committed to public policy

[thorny violet]

I feel genuinely bad for that guy because the one who posted the tweet stole his video and then tried to turn the blame to the guy for posting it in the first place when he was begging him to take done the video, makes my blood boil

[prime oxide]

That’s amazing 😭

[prime oxide]

People in my stats class were talking about it 😭 I didn’t have the confidence to say I was going

Wait the one who claimed racism was told to delete it? Thats not ok

[unborn plinth]

damn i wish we had snow instead of this rain and wind lmao

[thorny violet]

Yeah, it had to close the tab because it infuriated me so badly, like why did he have to make this kid out to be awful

[prime oxide]

He didn’t say that the kid was awful, he said the school was racist against white kids

I think the stats were supposed to seem good

[thorny violet]

Yeah, but because the poster posted it, it was making the guy in the video out to be bad

[foggy pasture]

did y'all submit a resumé when applying?*

[fathom dirge]

hey guys, any tips for the supplementals

[ionic belfry]

97 on accounting final hell yeah

[maiden beacon]

Damn. did you get in for CS?

[maiden beacon]

Sick

[ionic hearth]

wow

[maiden beacon]

I'm super excited to meet some of you guys in person

its very surreal

[ionic hearth]

danf

[maiden beacon]

thats absolutely insane

[thorny violet]

Was it really that low?

[ionic hearth]

that feels too low

[fathom dirge]

^

[thorny violet]

Yeah, like even if only 5% were legacy admits and athletes, that's 7% that are "normal" admits, which wouldn't that be lower than the regular decision admit rate?

[maiden beacon]

I think RD is like 5-6%

so probably not

[rough turret]

wait they did say they are lowering ED rates right?

[maiden beacon]

yes

[rough turret]

i thought ED used to be like 20+ and RD was 9

wait... if they acc lowered ed rates this year that means i have a better shot with rd 😳

[maiden beacon]

According to stats I have seen, the RD acceptance is around 6% and ED is around 19%

if you average that out and normalize for the amount of applicants for each I think it comes to 9%

I could be wrong, not sure

[maiden beacon]

I wouldn't count on it

[thorny violet]

Even then, that's still only off by a percent or two, doesn't that feel a bit too low?

[rough turret]

lollll

[maiden beacon]

Check the common data set

[maiden beacon]

It does. the numbers feel somewhat wonky

[rough turret]

i havent even touched this schools essays yet 😭

[maiden beacon]

but thats just what they show on their common data set

@rough turret what's your major?

[rough turret]

CS in cas

[weak valve]

i thought cornell AR was like 8-10

[maiden beacon]

Oh dear god, good luck

[rough turret]

😂

thx

[maiden beacon]

according to google yeah. I think that figure is the average of both cycles though, adjusting for the number of students

[thorny violet]

Idk, I just feel like 12% is too low especially since there's a substantial percentage that have to be legacy or athletes

[maiden beacon]

so if ED is like 19% and fills 30% of the class, and RD is 6% and fills 70%, then combine those two and get your average number

very rough estimates btw but its kind of like an exam grade

[rough turret]

does ED not fill 50%

[maiden beacon]

it definitely does. I'm not sure about the 12% number

[maiden beacon]

In previous years, yes, but they lowered the amount they take ED for this cycle

[rough turret]

ok

[maiden beacon]

I am not sure by how much yet because they have not publicized that information to my knowledge

[rough turret]

so then there will be more ppl accepted in RD

[thorny violet]

I don't think they even gave out a higher percentage of defers to be honest, it feels about the same as last year if not less

[maiden beacon]

Higher number, lower percentage

so your odds will likely be worse

[rough turret]

?

is there gonna be that big of an increase in apps

[ionic belfry]

Rd odds won’t change much

[maiden beacon]

Ed probably admitted around 1800 students ED out of 10,000 applicants

[rough turret]

ok

[maiden beacon]

Previous years I think they admitted more RD (maybe like 2500?) but it was out of 70k or something

[thorny violet]

I think it's lower now

[maiden beacon]

Likely

I don't know how much though

[rough turret]

??

like 70k ED?

[maiden beacon]

nono

sorry I meant RD*

What im saying is the admit more RD, but it is a smaller percentage because there are way more RD applicants

[rough turret]

compared to when

last year?

[maiden beacon]

2022 and before

Yes

Look up "Cornell 22-23 Common Data Set"

they have it on the website and it has all the exact numbers you need

[rough turret]

ok

[maiden beacon]

Not to undermine your application chances or anything

[rough turret]

ya lol

[maiden beacon]

If you need help with your app and everything im perfectly willing to give you advice

this is just the facts from what I know

cause i did a lot of research before applying

[rough turret]

great thx

[maiden beacon]

np

https://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/CDS_2022-2023_Cornell-University-v5.pdf

link if you need it

[manic ether]

guess imma be a reject /shrug

[rough turret]

thx

wait it says they consider interview but on their website it says theyre not conducting interviews unless u reach out for one

so are u supposed to do that

[thorny violet]

I think that has to do something with AAP, but it could also just be seeing that if you got offered an "interview" if you actually showed up

[manic ether]

i am going to guess that the ED rate was around 12%

given the a2c poll gave 9 acceptances out of 52 total thats around 17% but obviously we need to account for obvious a2c skewing

so id say around 12-14

RD rate might increase but it wont be anything big

[prime oxide]

I didn’t

[prime oxide]

It’s confirmed lower

[rough turret]

sorry what's AAP?

[manic ether]

im still convinced that the article was written to inflate rd applicants

ngl

[thorny violet]

Architecture program, they have evaluative interviews, or at least they had them last year

[rough turret]

Oooh

Alr

Nothing else has them tho rigjt

[thorny violet]

Yeah, nothing else has them, and plus you don't need to have an interview to get in, I never got one and they accepted me

[maiden beacon]

you have to do that on the commonapp

theres a box you select that asks whether or not you want an interview

they say its not considered though

its non-evaluative, the interviewers dont take notes. All they get is a box they can check saying whether or not the interview happened

[rough turret]

ooooh i see

if its non evaluative whats the point tho 😭

why would they use resources to set up an interview while not using it for anything

[manic ether]

marketing

[rough turret]

I don’t even see how that is used for marketing 💀

[thorny violet]

Alumni engagement

[ionic belfry]

Alumni engagement

And you can learn a lot

[maiden beacon]

yes

its not useless

I got an interview and was actualy admitted to the school, so I have a lot more info about what im walking into now

it also keeps alumni feeling connected to their school

I also got invited to an accepted students event by my alumni interviewer which was really nice

[prime oxide]

Is that the Jan 10 one?

Yeah tbh I wish I got the interview just to hear about it

[weak valve]

There are elots of accepted students events

Esp for rd; they do them by region

[prime oxide]

Oooh okay

[light kestrel]

if u were to get in and wanted to go to one of these events but are low income is there any way for cornell to help pay for the trip?

i know some schools do this but idk if cornell does

[ionic belfry]

Usually they’re just in your state

[light kestrel]

ohhhh

okay

[ionic belfry]

They’re local events to meet kids that live by you

[light kestrel]

i hope they have them in miami😭😭😭

[ionic belfry]

They have a ton in Miami

[light kestrel]

OKK GOOD

[uncut wolf]

Do they have the events planned already or later issue?

[ionic belfry]

Later

Usually after rd

[prime oxide]

Looking forward to them

[frigid anchor]

in ur why cals essay?

[thorny violet]

No, from before when I said I basically wanted to take enough anthropology classes to get a anthropology minor

When I was browsing classes I wanted to take

[twilit current]

howdy cornballs

[manic ether]

"corn"

i will continously mention this no matter my admission result

cornell has no corn and it needs corn

[ionic hearth]

Anthropology minor sounds rlly cool

😍

[prime oxide]

🌽 ⚽️

[thorny violet]

Wish they would stop advertising it as something so cool, literally have 4 out of the 5 classes needed for the minor 😭 want to take an anthropology class with me?

[ionic hearth]

I think i have one for my bio requirement!

😍

[thorny violet]

Which one? Class number?

[ionic hearth]

https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP24/class/ANTHR/1300

ANTHR 1300

[prime oxide]

Anthropology’s required??

[ionic hearth]

Not anthropology in specific

but CAS has "distribution" requirements

where you have to take any one course of a certain type

one of those is bio

so im thinking of using this one for my bio requirement

[thorny violet]

I think this is actually one of the classes I wanted to take

[serene fractal]

guys i love brooks school but im worried it will be more restrictive compared to just majoring in political science at cas

the distributional requirements are confusing me a little

[prime oxide]

Good thing I’m in engineering then

[ionic belfry]

I don’t think cas has poli sci

Yeah no they don’t

[serene fractal]

oh yeah it's just called government

[ionic belfry]

Yeah it’s a very diff program

Depends on what exactly u want

[thorny violet]

Engineering should still have distribution requirements?

[prime oxide]

Yeah but less I’d assume

[lavish marlin]

Can I double minor

My heart says astronomy minor
My common sense says aerospace minor

[chrome nova]

prolly

!biggreen

[potent meteor]

https://i.imgur.com/v0Wc3XA.png

[lavish marlin]

I will never use Google

[ionic belfry]

You can quintuple minor

[thorny violet]

That's insane....

Really hope I can count this one anthro class for my human diversity req

[prime oxide]

Does anyone do that 😭

[thorny violet]

For current students, how many classes do you have on your schedule? I feel like I can only reach 15 credits if I have 6 classes during my first semester, is this normal?

[ionic belfry]

Do 15-16 at first

Im doing 18-21 from second and then on

[thorny violet]

OK! I'll try my best, 6 classes it is for first semester...

[ionic belfry]

Also have a good amt of backups

[thorny violet]

Is getting into classes really that challenging...

[ionic belfry]

For freshman, it can be

Usually just for gym or rly popular classes

Oh and FWS is super hard

Jae can attest

[thorny violet]

Every single one...? 😭

[ionic belfry]

It’s just the quantity of students

It’s like 15-20 students per class

So they fill up super fast especially if the class sounds cool

But @weak valve knows how to get them

[thorny violet]

Got it!!! Being a freshman again sounds hard...

[ionic belfry]

It’s hard at first but lower fun

Least pressure

[weak valve]

Bro

Mine seemed easy

But was shit

[weak valve]

You can but could be hard w engineering major

Very little space

Cuz ur major would be about 130 credits

Each minor is 15-18, and astro and aero idk how much they overlap w major classes

So youll like

Physically not have room

😭

Thats why im internal transferring

[finite lava]

Do 19 credits per sem

[manic ether]

oh damn

might legit have to transfer to cas still gonna apply engineering though

i dont feel like rewriting

[ionic hearth]

Makes sense

[ionic hearth]

Mine r all sitting at around 19

with my planned schedule

i wanna do so much 😭

[ionic hearth]

which ones? I have 4 and am already at 18 😭

[ionic hearth]

OMG

Back to modding

i love the gold color

and the dog decal

[ionic hearth]

Transformationl, once again

[ionic hearth]

heck

[thorny violet]

I need to take so many intro bio classes and they're all only like 2-3 credits...

[ionic hearth]

oohhhh that maakes sense

[thorny violet]

I don't have it laid out, but FWS, intro bio, intro bio, PE class, fun class(?), then distribution requirement— I know my bio classes are 2 & 3, FWS is 3, fun class is probably 3-4, distribution req is probably 3-4, and PE credit is 1, so in total that's only 15-16 credits..

But I don't think PE counts towards graduation credits, so I'm really aiming for 16 credits...

[weak valve]

U still cant do 166 credits without forcibly taking summer/winter 😭

[weak valve]

My 20 credits was 7

[weak valve]

There r easy ones but they fill fast

Get one w a grad student

Theyre usually more understanding

[weak valve]

What major?

Wait what 2 intro buos

1500 and 1350/1440?

120 credits isnt hard to hit over 8 sems

I wouldnt worry abt “graduation credits”

[thorny violet]

Biological Sciences

Maybe it'll get easier to get credits once I get the first year requirements out of the way

[weak valve]

icic

Stay excited for chem

Wilson isn’t too bad

[thorny violet]

If I somehow score a 5 and place out of chem and into the 2000s honors chem class, would it be better to take the 1000s chem classes anyway?

[weak valve]

Um

Chem starts at 2070

[thorny violet]

?? Then what was I looking at 😭

[weak valve]

Dont take the 1000 lvl chem course, like 1570 Solve it! Or smth

Its a scam

You only need it if u have absolutely no chem background and even then its not necessary

Waste of a semester/year

I havent heard anything abt honors chem but yeah thats the typical path of an AP 5

[thorny violet]

OH, I was looking half into Organic chemistry and mixed them up, I just meant the general chemistry classes yeah

[weak valve]

Gen chem is 2070 and 2080

A 5 gets u out of 2070 but not 2080

Even tho 2080 is still ap content

[thorny violet]

It says you can be placed into CHEM 2150 if you place out of 2070? Which I assume is the substitute to 2080 because 2150 is fall only and 2080 is spring

[weak valve]

I think so?

Yeah 2150 is both

But if u dont do 2150 i think u have to do 2080

[thorny violet]

I'll keep that in mind, thank you! I'll use my AP credit if I get a 5 to skip a semester of chem

[weak valve]

I got a 3 😅

[thorny violet]

15 credits worth of APs really isn't enough.... But I'll just choose the classes I don't like 😭

[thorny violet]

I feel like the exam is going to be really hard even though I understand the material in class

[weak valve]

I only got like

3 things transferred over due to APs bc engineering and im dumb

And it was only lib arts distribution

😭

[weak valve]

I didnt study

So

I recommend studying

[vapid mica]

rip bruh nobody from my school got in

[thorny violet]

My plan is to get a 4 in AB and a 5 in Stats to get rid of those credits, then maybe transfer my credit for AP Lit or Lang for written expression distribution, and use my 5 for Physics 1 to place out of a class

[thorny violet]

I'll keep that in mind!!

[weak valve]

Rd 💪

[ionic hearth]

distribution makes AP credits not as useful ngl 😭 but its still nice

placement is SOOOO awesome for math

[ionic hearth]

ye, placing out is awesome

Is taking ~20 credits every semester for your junior and senior years a good idea

[outer jolt]

Manifesting that im the first cornell acceptance in my school history 😭

Odds are NOT in my favor

[ionic hearth]

🙏 You can do this

[weak valve]

like

theoretically its whatever if u take it first sem and feel u can handle it

like take a similar load

but

u dont want to be banking on requirements senior year

bc theres always the chance u dont get the class

[ionic hearth]

makes sense

i can easily put everything around ~18-16 if I want

but i want to add extra language courses 😭

[hollow quartz]

i had a random thought

does cornell teach/preach the cornell note taking system in classes

[weak valve]

NO

caps

im not yelling is wear

[hollow quartz]

😔

[elfin thunder]

Did u get in ed

[weak valve]

NO

caps

fuck

i rded

[outer jolt]

Where did u ed

[lavish marlin]

Cornell snow

[outer jolt]

Omg beautiful

[elfin thunder]

Omg beautiful

[weak valve]

jhu

[ionic belfry]

Yuck

[weak valve]

no fr

idk why i did that

[outer jolt]

Ew

Cornell>>>>>

[thorny violet]

You can do it!! I'm pretty sure I'm the first acceptance in my school's history, but they don't have data available and my school is really young

[outer jolt]

Same mine is young but im able to see through naviance scattergrams

[prime oxide]

My scattergrams are insanely filled 😭

[fathom dirge]

same

being the first person in my school to get accepted is near impossible

[outer jolt]

Not true

You can beat the odds

Oh wait i misread that

You’re saying your school is cracked

Oh man lucky

[prime oxide]

yeah

we will most likely check every ivy box this year

[elfin thunder]

same bruh

[burnt grove]

checking in here cuz imma be here (i hope)

[thorny violet]

I got my ACT score back and I still did basically the same as my SAT lmao

[outer jolt]

Submit both

Wait u ed right nvm

No point

[burnt grove]

yooo guys

a professor in cornell gonna do a qna at my school

shes from business tho

what should i ask

[thorny violet]

Yup, no point, did the ACT for fun basically

[outer jolt]

Lmao

[ionic belfry]

Which prof

[burnt grove]

https://business.cornell.edu/faculty-research/faculty/lc683/

she looks cracked

[ionic belfry]

Grad prof

[burnt grove]

💀

shouldve thought abt that

well shes here

i spose i could ask abt

how is life there in general

but like

a2c gave me enuff talk abt how

cornell is depressing

[agile schooner]

Is the new policy school rlly hard to get into it sounds fun asf tho

[ionic belfry]

Ik like 3 kids from my area that got in ed

Honestly might be more acceptances this year

[outer jolt]

Just finished cornell community essay

Now time for the why us essay

[weak valve]

the craziest thing

is

ive met like

10 new ppl on val

within the last 24 h

and none of them recognized the name of cornell

😅

LMFAO

i avoided the whole

"omfg an ivy??'

💀

[prime oxide]

It needed to be Harvard smh

Shoulda tried harder in hs

[lament snow]

im ngl

ur going to get made fun of on val for trying hard in school

😭

at least if it's anything like league

im complaining about college apps and mfs are like "fucking nerd"

[prime oxide]

Isn’t that a good thing

[prime oxide]

That’s so true

You’re a nerd for trying to improve your future

[lament snow]

fucking bastar.d... try to learn more tmath........ stop try

[weak valve]

nah

[weak valve]

nah*

its largely just

"holy shit ur actually attending college? how much r u paying goddamn"

[lament snow]

rly

on league it's just

ad hominem attacks

[foggy pasture]

god i need motivation to finish this 650 supp

[lavish marlin]

Which school has a 650 supp 💀

[prime oxide]

Engineering better 💯

[rough turret]

cas

[lavish marlin]

Dayum

[lavish marlin]

💪

[manic ether]

engineering had the best supps

objectively

[lavish marlin]

Objectively

[rough turret]

🧢

[prime oxide]

It’s also the best school in general

[manic ether]

its also a school that will flatout reject me /s

[prime oxide]

I mean, they certainly won’t defer you

[zealous whale]

hi

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

🫂

any1 applying business????

[lavish marlin]

Nah bro trust the conditional waitlist 🫡

[zealous whale]

darden???

[lavish marlin]

Is that Dyson

[zealous whale]

DYSON??

I MEANNN

SORRRY

[lavish marlin]

I like that name

Dyson sounds cool

[zealous whale]

yea its cool

[lavish marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/dyson-sphere-sun-planets-gif-22729808

Reminds me of the Dyson sphere

[manic ether]

what by conditional

[zealous whale]

Wowwwwww

[manic ether]

ik a waitlist

whats a conditional waitlist

[prime oxide]

probably if certain conditions are met, then you get in?

[manic ether]

idk what conditions i gotta meet

[prime oxide]

oh idk either

that was more sarcastic, very not useful

[manic ether]

i think its conditional acceptance

i think waitlist is just normal

[prime oxide]

aren't all acceptances conditional?

[lavish marlin]

That’s what I meant woops

Conditional waitlist would be crazy 💀

[outer jolt]

Done w cornell supps

[zealous whale]

[chrome nova]

Needa do mine

[outer jolt]

Ima make exits

Edits

Before submitting

[ionic belfry]

Hi

[haughty crown]

Yes and deferred

[cursive light]

i got deferred so what are some next steps

[ionic belfry]

Prepare for the worst

But still do everything for Cornell

Keep up grades/ec’s, write an LOCI

Get another rec letter

[cursive light]

okay thanks

[ionic belfry]

Stuff like that

[cursive light]

when do i send LOCI

another rec letter?

[ionic belfry]

Not a set date but before February I’d say to be safe

Earlier the better but can hold off if important stuff happening rn you wanna talk abt

Additional awards can be added too

[cursive light]

okay thanks

[ionic hearth]

hi cornellies!!

i feel sad i haven't talked here in a while

i hate finals :((

almost done 🙏

[outer jolt]

Yay

[thorny violet]

Good luck!!!! Do your best 🫶

[sand hearth]

only if you think it adds something substantial and new to your application, I’d say, especially if it’s a senior year teacher

[finite lynx]

does ticking this harms my prospects at dyson? "In addition to being considered for my primary choice, I am also interested in being considered for the other school as an alternate for admissions consideration.*"

[ionic belfry]

Nah

Just means if they think you’re a good fit for Nolan (lot of hospitality experience) you’d be considered if you get rejected from Dyson

[chrome nova]

riley i got a question

well u might not know

[finite lynx]

oh aight tks

[ionic belfry]

What’s up

[chrome nova]

i foudn out

thx hto

[manic ether]

ngl my senior grades so shit i might have to not apply

[icy knot]

f

[elfin thunder]

j do it

a guy from my school first ever admit got in with a 3.7 UW (junior year GPA)

[manic ether]

yeah i just realized my gpa didnt change by much so im chillin

[manic ether]

my grade is overly cracked

like no one has ever performed this well before

[lavish marlin]

E

[lament snow]

very pretty

[twilit current]

its that pretty in person too

which is crazy

[lament snow]

😭

[feral mortar]

Did Cornell switch back their extension deadline....

[lament snow]

i toured once

saw the view from the top of a hill

[feral mortar]

or is it just me?

[lament snow]

idr which one it was near a library

[twilit current]

tours fr dont do this school justice

[lament snow]

and i could just look over the valley and see the distant town covered in mist

it was pretty cool

🐸

[twilit current]

theres so many gorgeous sites

[prime oxide]

Beautiful campus fs

[outer jolt]

Ithaca tho…

[uncut wolf]

I can help with essays if anyone would like :))))

[ionic belfry]

Just did a debriefing with my uiuc friend and wow state school parties a lot different from Cornell

[uncut wolf]

How does Cornell party lol

[ionic belfry]

We have a p good social scene

But it’s not close to the dorms

At uiuc my friend lives 2 min away from frat row

And rush here is in the spring which is kinda uncommon

[manic ether]

corn school mentioned

/s

anyways guys im rewriting my essays now!!!!!!!!!!!

[fathom dirge]

how good were his ECs

I have a 3.7 rn

and i'm applying to the eng school

[elfin thunder]

Decent but he did Brooke policy

[feral mortar]

You guys

did cornell switch back its deadline?

[elfin thunder]

?

[ionic hearth]

Hii cornellies

i absolutely bombed my AP lit essay :((

i need to do really good on the last essay and the MC to keep an A

[lavish marlin]

I bombed my AP Euro DBQ 🤝

https://tenor.com/view/im-you-yuji-mahito-yuji-itadori-itadori-yuji-gif-14167600110180159909

[ionic hearth]

😔

we r twinning

and i have to do 2 econ assignemnts before studying for lit

and i have to pack ugh

[thorny violet]

It'll be ok, do your best :(

[prime oxide]

As long as you keep a B you’ll be fiiiiiine

[ionic hearth]

my mom would get really mad 😭

[prime oxide]

Oh 😭

[chrome nova]

get me into college

[lavish marlin]

I’m expecting 3 of my classes to drop by half a letter grade, but don’t think that’s too bad (in terms of getting rescinded 💀)

[chrome nova]

praying u gt rescinded

dont*

trust

[lavish marlin]

🙏 💀

[thorny violet]

I think you should be ok with CAS, just don't let them slip too much 😭

[prime oxide]

Half is like A to A-?

I’m a lil worried about music theory personally

[lavish marlin]

Yep

[ionic hearth]

finished two gov assignments class is over for the semester

time to defeat the AP lit monster ⚔️

[feral mortar]

It was Jan 16 now its jan 2 Like what?????

[elfin thunder]

when was it jan 16

[feral mortar]

like yesterday and this morning

it sid deadline extension on common app

[prime oxide]

That’s nothing 😭

[prime oxide]

My ap lit class is actually so broken for senior year

Almost everyone gets an A-

If you do the work

[thorny violet]

I think my ap lit class is basically the same, as long as you do the work with some effort you can get an 85+

[prime oxide]

Right right which is enough

[vapid mica]

yippee i finished my multi class with an A

this is going into the loci

[prime oxide]

AYYY good job!

[ionic hearth]

the problem is in our lit class the writing is 70% of the grade, and she's kind of strict about what gets a good score or not

like i just got a 70 on an essay because I used an alternative interpretation of the book, when I had been getting 95+ before then 😭

[chrome nova]

Bro read wrong

[ionic hearth]

i got a 90%+ on all the quizzes before 😔

im just coping probably

but it is what it is

[prime abyss]

yup

stop coping ong

[thorny violet]

Ough... I get it, I really want to write more unconventional and make my essays more challenging in AP Lit, but the time limit and AP graders don't really allow for it, so I end up doing a simpler interpretation instead of the interpretation I like more :(

[prime abyss]

thatrs actyually so real tho

same thing in lang

[zinc gazelle]

is it harder to get into cornell engineering than the college of arts and sciences?

[thorny violet]

I love making complicated connections that no sane and normal person would spend time thinking of as an interpretation, I think it's fun to see how far you can push an interpretation as long as there's evidence

[ionic hearth]

EXACTLY THIS

AND THEN I TRIED IT ONCE ON MY FAVORITE BOOK

😭

[thorny violet]

I think by acceptance percentage, it's harder to get into engineering, but I think it might actually be harder to get into CAS engineering?

[ionic hearth]

This ^^! also u get to find fun meanings of the work and see it influence other works

[thorny violet]

YES

[weak valve]

What’s CAs engineering

[thorny violet]

SHOOT

[weak valve]

😭

[thorny violet]

I was thinking of CS my bad 😭

[zinc gazelle]

oxymoron 😭

[weak valve]

Theyre so similar to the point that its like
Its less abt the acceptance rate than about the profiles of applicants

Like more quakified ppl apply for the one theyre qualified for

But inherently on paper it seems eng is more selective

And harder to survive

So therefore more prestige

And impressive

😭

[thorny violet]

We are the same person... Not a single original experience ever, but it's fine, I would love to hear your thoughts on things when we meet

[finite lava]

🤓🤓

[ionic hearth]

I just had an mc question about oxymorons..

[finite lava]

I’m Dyson don’t wanna hear it

[weak valve]

Go stream Val for tubbo

[ionic hearth]

😍 I cannot wait to see u on campus

[zinc gazelle]

ok that's what i was thinking...the thing is my profile is completely engineering but i dont plan on actually pursuing engineering 💀

[finite lava]

No

[weak valve]

Then apply cas

[zinc gazelle]

i am so sorry LMAO

[zinc gazelle]

AOs wont think im weird? 😭

[weak valve]

No

[thorny violet]

I think they've probably seen way weirder stuff

[ionic hearth]

You'll be finee

[finite lava]

Apply engineering and transfer to Dyson 💪💪🤓🤓

[serene fractal]

yeah im kinda having this same deliberation except with brooks school and government at cas

honestly might just go with government tho

[finite lava]

@weak valve are u eating the dog for Christmas dinner ???

[weak valve]

[limpid laurel]

[sand hearth]

we were stressed about recruiting before we even started classes

[chrome nova]

stress about not being able to nepo me in

[outer jolt]

My admissions decision

🤞

[ionic belfry]

Fr

[prime oxide]

Yeah nothing to stress about anymore 😔

[weak valve]

Benjamin martin

Is my favorite man on this planet

So glad hes my official advisor now

😭😭

[random junco]

what % of ppl got deferred and rejected for ED

[manic ether]

a2c statsitics: 17% accepted

23% deferred

rest rejected

theres an obvious skewing considering we're in a2c so im thinking the ED acceptance rate is 12-14% but thats just my random estimate

[thorny violet]

I think if you did the comparison with a2c data from last year then it should give you a good idea of how the reduced ED policy has affected admissions

[prime oxide]

i thought it was even slightly lower

[manic ether]

any lower will probably put ED rates similar to RD rates

which imo no non-REA ivy is willing to do

i.e. if the ED rate is 8-10% thats similar to the RD rate

[ionic hearth]

Good morning cornellies!!

spanish final done

just ap lit remaining ☹️

[prime oxide]

i think they're going to be pretty comparable yeah...

[prime oxide]

ayy good job

[manic ether]

cornell is copying CMU atp

[prime oxide]

i rly wish they'd release the stats

[manic ether]

they have no reason to rn

[weak valve]

they released ours like

june

or july

[prime oxide]

this is true

[prime oxide]

hopefully they do too

im too curious

[lavish marlin]

ED was 12-13% this year

According to a source

[manic ether]

confirmed?

[uncut wolf]

Cornell trying to not be easy Ivy no more

[manic ether]

im gonna say it

hot take

RD, taking joke apps out will be around 10%

or in other words esentially negligible

compared to ED

[uncut wolf]

I feel like that’s true ngl

[manic ether]

y’all should feel lucky then

corn ED admits

[uncut wolf]

:>

I am lucky

[manic ether]

i dodged a bullet by not EDing

[uncut wolf]

But I also felt like I was 100% gonna get on based on my stats

[manic ether]

no ivy has you at a 100% chance to get in

[uncut wolf]

Atleast a very good chance

[manic ether]

it was more than stats

so feel good

[uncut wolf]

Ofc lol

And also my essays were pretty good, recs were very good, and eh act

I felt like I had a good chance

[prime oxide]

which source?

[prime oxide]

i thought i had a very good chance as well yeah

like everyone i knew projected id get in

[uncut wolf]

I’m prob being stupid cuz I got in

[manic ether]

i think i have

a fair shot

certainly not expecting anything but its a decent shot

[burnt grove]

99% of students quit before they get into ivies

[manic ether]

real

[prime oxide]

thats so true

[twilit current]

real

[prime oxide]

i mean also ik at my school we normally do very well at cornell but this year only 3 got in out of 20+

[manic ether]

i think no one applied ED to cornell here

if they did i woulda known

[twilit current]

nobody applied ED to cornell at my former hs either im p sure

[uncut wolf]

Datum

[twilit current]

we send like 3-5 to yale every year so people just ea there

[manic ether]

my grade is insanely cracked though

[uncut wolf]

13 people applied and 4 got in for my school

[prime oxide]

wow thats very solid

[manic ether]

im legit scared that the cracked people (who already got into REAs) will get in here and not me

[outer jolt]

Wtf😭💀

[uncut wolf]

Gpa or courses cuz Cornell is aware of grade inflation

[prime oxide]

we have 4 headed to mit 😭

[manic ether]

courses

we dont do inflation i think

[twilit current]

feeder schools r crazy lol

[uncut wolf]

My school is also very very very reputable

UMich backup school

[prime oxide]

its public 😭

[uncut wolf]

Okay good :)
