Cornell University (2023-2024)

[wheat hamlet]

i want to submit rn lol but i cant

[ionic belfry]

Ugh that sucks

Oh wait that happened to me

I remember I deleted everything out of general and redid it

You can try that if you like and just take screenshots before you delete so you remember what you have to do

[wheat hamlet]

Alright

[prime oxide]

I literally emailed commonapp support for smth similar and that fixed it

[ionic belfry]

That works too

[wheat hamlet]

imagine this happens to ppl on like the due date

yea clearing worked thanks

[ionic belfry]

Sick ofc

Idk why it does that

[prime oxide]

That’s why you submit early!

[lucid heart]

I would try and deselect all options there, and then re-complete the general section on some other device - your phone for example.

[ionic hearth]

Ya

Classes

[ionic belfry]

Not for a while

Freshman are the last ones

It was during July lemme check the day

7/17 was last year

[thorny violet]

Guys do you believe I can learn 9 weeks worth of calculus in a little less than a week?

[lavish marlin]

that sounds impossible

good luck honey

[thorny violet]

MAN

[elfin thunder]

why in less than a week

[thorny violet]

Ok, but consider my school is on a block schedule, so each week can be broken down to about 6 hours of work so if I do a week and a half or even a week and a quarter a day I can make it can't I...?

[thorny violet]

Procrastination... I promised my calc teacher I would do the final exam after winter break

[elfin thunder]

get off discord

and just grind

endlessly

[thorny violet]

I pray that I can clutch at least a passing grade on the final... I'm so slow at math I'm not built for this

[ionic belfry]

Just scheduled 11 coffee chats for one Cornell club

Love this school 😮‍💨😪

[keen sage]

Ahhh yes

It has begun

[abstract nimbus]

Fr they killing us

I'm looking into all of them and rip

[keen sage]

If your gcal not looking like this your first week back youre not doing it right

[lavish marlin]

wsg

[ionic belfry]

REAL

I don’t even wanna look

[lavish marlin]

ok

that's crazy but

I don't remember asking

😐

[ionic belfry]

What day is this starting 😭

I haven’t looked at CFA/CAI yet

[lavish marlin]

The red boxes go crazy

[keen sage]

CAI's recruitment timeline starts hella early

We're gonna open up winter coffee chats shortly soon if you wanna sign up

[lavish marlin]

my guy what r the red boxes for

[keen sage]

Sheet we might be paired up

[keen sage]

Censoring my name

[lavish marlin]

bro u doxxed everyone else tho 💀

[keen sage]

This was my gcal for first week freshman spring

They gon be alright

[lavish marlin]

so r u

[lament snow]

you know what

this 650 word essay is chill as fuck

wtf

this is the freest ivy in terms of essays

other than maybe upennis

[lament snow]

if you like, 9-8 it, yeah

[glad siren]

thats a whole ass common app essay

[lament snow]

ye

but it's lowkey chill

[glad siren]

i only have 250 rn

[ionic belfry]

Lmfao sure

[lament snow]

because it's not some random impiossible topic like "TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU'VE SAVED THE WORLD IN THE LAST 24 HOURS"

[glad siren]

the longer it is the more creativity they expect

tho

[lament snow]

i mean just write from the heart fr

[glad siren]

the topic is good

[lament snow]

why do you want to study what you want to study

[glad siren]

i just dk what to write for 650 words

[ionic belfry]

@keen sage do coffee chats help a bit for CAI? I’m down to do a ton but idk if they rly help

[lament snow]

what can cornell do to help you with that

[cunning oxide]

hey guys! I'm looking at the acceptance rates of all of the colleges at cornell and human ecology has a higher acceptance rate than CALS. If I want to do a major that is in both of those colleges which should I apply to? Does it even matter? Like does the specific college accept students or does cornell uni accept the students?

[glad siren]

i think the columbia supps are pretty chill too

[ionic belfry]

Do whichever you like more tbh; especially if you wanna double major within the college

[lament snow]

they were ok ye

[cunning oxide]

but do i have a higher chance of getting in if I apply to the college with a higher acceptance rate? cuz I want to do public health and technically that major is in both of the colleges

[ionic belfry]

Public health policy is brooks right

I can find the acceptance rates by college in a moment

[cunning oxide]

No the major is Global and Public Health Sciences and it's in both CALS and Human Ecolocy college

[ionic belfry]

https://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/university-factbook/undergraduate-admissions

[lavish marlin]

[keen sage]

if you make a really good impression it'll help

try to do like 3-4 chats dont do too much

tbh we mostly look for technical finance knowledge

but on the bright side we take in a lot of freshman during spring semester

[ionic belfry]

Gotcha okay

What’s a lot? Like ten lmao?

I have a decent amt of finance knowledge but not extraordinary

[keen sage]

grind this website out: https://ibvine.io/

at least be able to walk me through a dcf

[wheat hamlet]

What’s 650 words ?

My highest was 350

[ionic belfry]

My A+ in accounting better help

Wait the basic cards are so easy

[keen sage]

accounting class didnt help me with sh

[ionic belfry]

😭

[keen sage]

im gonna dm you some stuff rq

[ionic belfry]

Bet tysm man

[ionic hearth]

Ya so we r fine

[ionic hearth]

😬

Probably not

But you can get pretty close

The concepts? Yes

Getting good at it

Oh dear

[ionic hearth]

YOU CAN DO THIS

Which calculus is ig

[thorny violet]

Yeah mines async

💀

I need to learn korean

So my loaded grandpa keeps paying portions so i can do these winter and summer classes guilt free

😭

[ionic hearth]

help me out

pls

[ionic hearth]

😨 what happened

[chrome nova]

wait were not friended

wtf

[lament snow]

can you take grad courses as an undergrad at cornell

[ionic hearth]

@thorny violet

SO everything after Polar is not in the AB curriculum

so you probably don't need it

wait

there are some wrong things in this

gimme 2 mins

[thorny violet]

Thank you again JP, you're saving my life actually

[ionic hearth]

more correct version

But yeah

ignore everything after polar

[lament snow]

polar coordinates

miss me with that lemniscate bullshit

[ionic hearth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiCojsAWRj0&list=PL0o_zxa4K1BWYThyV4T2Allw6zY0jEumv

In my opinion organic chemistry tutor is the best for small explainer videos

but he has way too many

[lament snow]

oh gog bro ur going to have to memorize trig identities

it's over

[ionic hearth]

so I would go through the guide and then spot review whatever isn't covered well enough

[chrome nova]

based frined me so i can dm u lmao

[lament snow]

techniques of integration chapter

[ionic hearth]

i did

[chrome nova]

oh

w

i hate trig

[chrome nova]

trig is so annoying

fuck trig

[ionic hearth]

i love trig i want to be a triangle when i grow up

[chrome nova]

shit makes no sense

[lament snow]

integrate 1/sqrt(1-x^2) dx...... NOW

https://tenor.com/bzz4j.gif

[ionic hearth]

arctan(x)

[lament snow]

yeah

but like

[chrome nova]

mf knew that

instantly

wtf

[lament snow]

if you don't know it by memory

it's memorization trick

[chrome nova]

maybe college aint for me

[lament snow]

if you don't know it it's kind of hard

unless you're used to substituting in trig things

it's just not something you'd think of naturally unless you're like

Bernhard Riemann v2 Electric Boogaloo

[ionic hearth]

omg

i love this name

[lament snow]

💀

[ionic hearth]

actually

i think

this type of weird "throw it all the wall shit"

is is kind of why i like math

😭

[lament snow]

well yes

it's wonderfully random-looking

but you also know like

the first dude to think of this shit

bro was cracked as fuck

imagine just being the first guy to think of the summation of i as it counts to n

like

1 + 2 + ... + n

simplest formula for it

but like jesus christ bro was at least a little creative

[abstract nimbus]

cas moment xD

[lament snow]

[ionic belfry]

Yeah

[lament snow]

https://tenor.com/btDjU.gif

alr ty

wtf panth player @spring scroll

[weak valve]

itll guarantee me transfer acceptance okay

also spanish is fun

my spanish ap exam had a 2 hr intermission!

[abstract nimbus]

yo no hablo espanol

tu es extrana

i took 2 years of spanish and dropped in HS 💀

[weak valve]

chinese is dumber than spanish

[abstract nimbus]

i didnt take chinese i just got a 5 on the ap cuz native speaking

[weak valve]

and latin was like

[abstract nimbus]

latin is just cult speak

[finite lava]

aint no way u said that

[finite lava]

i agree

thats why u do ap french

and get a 1

💀

[weak valve]

latin was easy but it required me to like

[abstract nimbus]

💀

[weak valve]

start from latin 1

[abstract nimbus]

dw we ece no need language

[weak valve]

which was dumb

[finite lava]

ong

[abstract nimbus]

we get to be bad at assembly instead

[finite lava]

when am i ever gonna need french in valorant or cornell ece

[finite lava]

si

[lament snow]

they won't know to report u if u say atrocities in french fr

[thorny violet]

Kissing you on the cheek thank you so much!!!

[lament snow]

💀

le hoppital's rool

u know l'hopital didn't even discover the rule

he just fucking published it

💀'

bastard

[maiden beacon]

does anybody know if cornell is gonna send an admitted students package

like an informational packet or some stickers or something in the mail

[weak valve]

depends on college

i think brooks got a good one

engineering one was shit

[hybrid temple]

Late but I testify. This guy saved my life

[keen sage]

All they sent me was a tiny pennant

[maiden beacon]

do you know how long it takes

ive been spam checking my mailbox everyday LOL

[maiden beacon]

damn that sucks

[weak valve]

aw hile

[maiden beacon]

aww man

[light kestrel]

WHAT EWAS IN IT

[maiden beacon]

okay I guess I can stop getting the mail everyday

[maiden beacon]

I second this question

[weak valve]

idk

ik what was in mine

and it made me question my commitment

[maiden beacon]

oh god

[ionic belfry]

Did you get the shirt?

[maiden beacon]

no I did not unfortunately

actually I go check right now for the lolz

[ionic belfry]

You have to use the website

Cause you have to pick your size

[maiden beacon]

oh

actually that makes a lot of sense

I think I remember seeing something about that but I'm not sure if the request was open yet

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

yeah it just says "coming soon"

[lament snow]

are thjere restrictions to what schools/majors offer this opportunity

[ionic belfry]

Usually ones that offer combo classes like I’ve looked into it for law

You might just need to scan course roster tbh

[weak valve]

some undergrad classes are like

alrdy crosslisted

as grad classes

[ionic belfry]

Yeah that too

[lament snow]

https://tenor.com/bzz4j.gif

alr ty

we at 540 words on the 650 worder

im ngl i dont know what i've been writing for the past 540 words

i kind of just said random shit about how i feel fr

completely deadass experience 💀

[shell prairie]

are you doing CAS?

[shell prairie]

ong bruh

mines 647 words tho

[glad siren]

i have to yap for another 300 words

[lament snow]

YES bro

🫂

[shell prairie]

fr bruh and then theres the 350 diversity essay

[glad siren]

the ezra one?

[shell prairie]

yea

[glad siren]

that one isnt that bad

cuz i already wrote similar one for other colleges

just reusing

adding stuff to the end

abt cornell

[shell prairie]

yeah thats what i did too

idk if its good tho

[wheat hamlet]

Yea I feel like so many schools have something similar to the Ezra prompt

It’s basically a second common app

[lavish marlin]

wait u submit midyear reports for rd but what if ur waitlisted

do u need to send like 2nd semester

[shell prairie]

idk for like harvard's diversity essay i did something c ompletely different

[ionic belfry]

You would do a grade update in loci

[wheat hamlet]

For me I used the same thing for cornell Princeton rice and Stanford

[shell prairie]

did you do the roommate essay for stanford?

cause idk how im gonna do my harvard one

[wheat hamlet]

Yeah but tbh my roommate essay needs work still

[lament snow]

dude i thought this application would be ass

but it's lowkey chill

[shell prairie]

i didnt realize i wanted to apply to cornell until like 2 days ago

school actually seems nice and the application wasnt too bad

[lament snow]

school seems fire

idt there's another school with as vast of a spread of courses and people

[lavish marlin]

bruh so u cant slump 💀

[lament snow]

kind of goated

[ionic belfry]

Don’t worry abt waitlist

[lament snow]

i wont lie

it would be an honor to get waitlisted by cornell

LOL

proof of being an excellent applicant

[lavish marlin]

wdym

[lament snow]

like

if ur ass u'll just get rejected tbh if ur applying to a school at cornell's caliber

if ur waitlisted that's like "ye ur def good enough we'll see what happens lol"

so it's like it's a GOOD sign do u know what i mean

[lavish marlin]

nah I meant riley

[ionic belfry]

Oh lmao

If you’re waitlisted, we figure it out then

Focus on trying to get in rn

[lament snow]

can i get that current student blessing fr

[ionic belfry]

You got this kid

[lament snow]

🙏 thank you my ancestor

[lavish marlin]

pause.

[lament snow]

continue.

[elfin thunder]

r cornell big on sustainability @ionic belfry @weak valve @keen sage

im starting the why us and thinking of mentioning it

cuz i have a perfect ec that relates to it

mb for the ping

[weak valve]

Like

There are signs everywhere

And there a sustainability major

And compost on every floor

And every dining

But also they lowkey combine our recycling and trash into one thing

😅😅

But maybe you’re not supposed to know that

[ionic belfry]

LMFAO

My RA laughed when I tried to recycle during o week

[ionic belfry]

They have good sustainability entrepreneurship programs

[weak valve]

Yeah i heard smth that the sustainability research at corn is like rlly good

And they found that

Tryna separate the trash doesnt do much

Int he big scheme

[elfin thunder]

yeah currently looking at their website

[light kestrel]

does education count as public policy

and voting

[elfin thunder]

they r p big on it

yea

[light kestrel]

like motivatin ppl to vote

[elfin thunder]

yea

[light kestrel]

okkk

[coarse isle]

never heard of them

[lament snow]

some of these mfs are such absolute elo terrorists., . ,. ,

[shell prairie]

uh

he was from hwen i played

[lament snow]

bro tfue

[coarse isle]

oh fr

[shell prairie]

whcih was like season 3ish

[lament snow]

i haven't heard of bro in lik

since middle school

💀

[coarse isle]

the flooded season?

[shell prairie]

SAME BRO

[shell prairie]

no bruh

the john wick season

[lament snow]

i never even played fortnite

used to hear his name a lot

and then suddenly bro just vanished

[coarse isle]

wait john wick came to fortnite?

that's crazy

[shell prairie]

it was fake john wick

and then they released real john wick

i quit playing fortnite a long time ago

[lament snow]

it was a whole big thing

[coarse isle]

wait so fortnite started before 2020?

[lament snow]

bro what

💀

[coarse isle]

i thought they launched it in 2020

[lament snow]

that shit been around since like 2016 or smth

[shell prairie]

bro

[coarse isle]

WAIT WHAT

[lament snow]

2017*

[shell prairie]

i played that thing in like 5ht or 6th grade

[lament snow]

ye

[coarse isle]

bro what

[lament snow]

bro you're our ag-

[shell prairie]

bro

[lament snow]

how do you not nkow

LOL

[shell prairie]

WE ARE THE SAME AGE

[coarse isle]

the first time i heard of it was in 8th grade

[shell prairie]

EXACTLY

[lament snow]

💀

that shit swept the land in like

6th grade

bro is under a rock

[shell prairie]

^^

[coarse isle]

woah that's crazy

[shell prairie]

and im not that social too

[coarse isle]

i never knew

[shell prairie]

so like

thats saying something

[lament snow]

ye

💀

[coarse isle]

lmao

im joking

i know

[ionic hearth]

@thorny violet calculus check 👀

[shell prairie]

i have to apply to a&s cause i dont meet the calc requirement for engineering

💀

[lament snow]

how are those epsilon-delta proofs going

[coarse isle]

what are epsilon delta proofs

[lament snow]

proving existence of a limit

[coarse isle]

oh

bro my teacher skipped those

[lament snow]

💀

it's like

[coarse isle]

its like unit 1 calc

but technically not in curriculum

[lament snow]

for all epsilon greater than zero, all x that satisfy 0 < |x-a| < delta makes |f(x)-f(a)| < epsilon true

if the limit at a exists^

and if that statement is false then limit at a fails to exist

[coarse isle]

explain in fortnite terms

pls

[lament snow]

basically like

say you want to see if there's a limit at x = a

there's some supposed value f(x) = l

[coarse isle]

ye

[lament snow]

now

[coarse isle]

ok

[lament snow]

if i say i want to be within a certain radius of l

like l-0.00000000000001

or any other radius

[shell prairie]

oh thats the derivative always exists?

[coarse isle]

yeah

[lament snow]

if i can't find an x radius around a

such that we're within that epsilon radius of l

then the limit doesn't exist

[shell prairie]

who tf calls it a delta epsilon proof

[coarse isle]

oh

that makes sense

spoken like a true intellectual

[lament snow]

no that would be for the function to be differentiable everywhere

which requires continuity and some other things

which requires limits everywhere

it's like

limits -> continuity -> differentiability

[shell prairie]

so its the derivative exists at one x vlaue?

[lament snow]

not even

[shell prairie]

ima be honest i dont remember anything from bc calc

[lament snow]

you can have a limit at a certain point

but not a derivative

[shell prairie]

and i only took 1 semster

[lament snow]

look at f(x) = |x|

limit def exists at x = 0

but the derivative doesn't

[shell prairie]

i probably learned it

but nobody ever called it delta or epsilon

idek what a epsilon is

[thorny violet]

Sorry JP....I must repent because I only just finished the movie with my friend (it was 2 hours to be fair and I had to eat dinner...)

[lament snow]

it's the "strict definition" of a limit

[lament snow]

they're just random variables that we called it

it's like why do you use x and y

you don't particularly have to

it's just like, convention

and mathematicians are bastards so they think greek letters are cool

😂

[ionic hearth]

😨

hopefully the movie is good

[indigo notch]

Would any current or graduated student like to take a look at one of my supplemental essays?

[thorny violet]

It was super good, I liked it a lot

[lament snow]

@shell prairie @coarse isle as an example, consider this function

[ionic hearth]

who said delta epsilon

[ionic hearth]

time well spent, then

it is break after all

[lament snow]

at x = 0, can you ever find a delta radius around 0 where the output of the function will ALWAYS be within 0.9 of the supposed value?

because it perma oscillates between 1 and 0

like this shit goes crazy............

[ionic hearth]

ooh

this stuff is rlly cool

[lament snow]

ye

[ionic hearth]

I think there is a technically rigorous version of delta epsilon

let me find it

[lament snow]

until they give you some ungodly problem where it's like

IMPOSSIBLE

[glad siren]

Bro that’s on you

[ionic belfry]

Nerds

[glad siren]

Who in the right mind spend 1k on a game

For digital content

[ionic hearth]

this will be you one day

[glad siren]

Thats not resellable

[ionic hearth]

in econ 4269

when ur econ professor does crack and decides he wants to rain hell on the students than ruin his life

[coarse isle]

oh so basically no matter what radius you put in there there's going to be another point within

so there's no limit

and thus you can't derive

[lament snow]

something like that

[coarse isle]

gotcha

[lament snow]

and you can mathematically prove this so like

with equations and shit.

[coarse isle]

oh alr

bro i never understood why we can't find limits for oscilating functions

until know lmao

ty

[ionic hearth]

I couldn't find what i was looking for

but i foudn this cool OSU explanation

are u a math major by any chacne 👀

[gaunt bone]

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

Can anyone break this down 😭

I feel like they're asking me so much but also so little at the same time and idek where to start writing

[bronze arrow]

is it hard to transfer into engineering once u if u get in

i just realized i don’t have a math letter of rec so i can’t even apply 😭

[ionic belfry]

@weak valve

[ionic belfry]

Oh also why community/what you’ll bring to Cornell

[weak valve]

lowkey yes but not if u plan it out well

[weak valve]

what classes r ur lor?

[chrome nova]

community essay and how u bring that idea to cornell

[weak valve]

check pinned msgs, i pinned an email chain

[chrome nova]

u dont need one just smth that can speak on ur math ability

so like a physics or cs class that uses math

[gaunt bone]

So like talk abt communities I'm a part of and how I would bring that to cornell?

[ionic belfry]

Focus on one

[shell prairie]

Bro most of it was donated gift cards

Idk what you want me to say

[tidal fiber]

first one is hell

[bronze arrow]

it’s in physics

i’m applying for cs and was gonna do it in engineering

but now i’m applying for it in arts and science

[weak valve]

oh ok

[bronze arrow]

if i get in can i switch to engineering?

i don’t rly like the arts and science requirements

[ionic belfry]

Which ones?

[bronze arrow]

foreign language..

i’m so bad at learning languages

😭

[ionic belfry]

Ah

Totally valid but I will say that it’s genuinely a great skill to have/a lot of colleges have that

[bronze arrow]

yea that’s true

i have to get in to even think abt it first tho 🙏🙏

back to essays then 🤘

[manic ether]

im esentially finished writing

now i gotta go through shortening hell

[shell prairie]

Same 🙏🙏

But if I do most of the requirements in the first 2 years ill just stick with it

[lament snow]

i want to be, yes

i like math chemistry physics and english

THE CURVEBALL

[ionic hearth]

W

[weak valve]

just apply to eng then

😭

why worry abt getting rejected

also engineering advising seminar would be more helpful than the A&S one u get assigned for first ssem

[bronze arrow]

my physics letter of rec def didn’t mention any calc and probably didn’t touch on math either

idk if it would hurt my app

[lavish marlin]

u need math rec for coe?

[molten hull]

no

just one stem

[weak valve]

no

[weak valve]

no

[weak valve]

lowkey yes

[molten hull]

I sent physics and eng recs and it went fine

Ik it also depends on your school

If your school has a strong math dep they won’t hold you to that req

[timber pagoda]

hello my cornell hommies

[lavish marlin]

hi

[ionic hearth]

hi hash

[lavish marlin]

orz

[ionic hearth]

this! it might also be the language

at first i thought i didn't like learning a language but then i fugred out that i just really hate spanish

[bronze arrow]

hoping this is me 🙏

[coarse isle]

is it fine to talk about a subfield within a major you're interested in entering rather than the major in general in the why us

the only reason i'm choosing my major is cuz of that field lol 😭

[lavish marlin]

tf

[coarse isle]

who's mole

[lavish marlin]

a student there

[coarse isle]

oh gotcha

[lavish marlin]

np

[coarse isle]

they seem to be offline so imma not disturb rn

prolly tmmr but ty tho

[lavish marlin]

he's usually invis or dnd

[wild spoke]

yo is it ok if I submit css late

[coarse isle]

oh gotcha

[lavish marlin]

u can also try riley

or jae

[coarse isle]

oh gotcha

tyty

[lavish marlin]

np

[coarse isle]

idt its due for a while lol

most colleges have due dates in feb

but check

case by case

[wild spoke]

I think for ed it was mid november but I just found out about css last week or so

[coarse isle]

oh shoot

did you get in?

[wild spoke]

yea

[coarse isle]

oh congrats

email their finaid office asap

[wild spoke]

does fafsa do full coverage

[coarse isle]

no idts

[wild spoke]

I just filled it out and submitted it I was jsut wondering about this. should I still email?

[coarse isle]

im not tryna make you panic but css should have been in long time ago

[wild spoke]

or wil they still get it

[coarse isle]

so im not sure if they'll take it into consideration

email rn

[wild spoke]

yea I think so

[coarse isle]

they'll respond when they reopen after break

[wild spoke]

ok I will write to them

thx

[coarse isle]

also

in the case that they do not accept the css anymore

[wild spoke]

if they dont shud I apply for pepsi schoalrship or is it too late for that

[coarse isle]

there is a caveat to ed i believe that if you absolutely can not afford to attend the college and the college is completely aware of that i think you can break the ED agreement but at the cost of your admission into cornell

now i'm not entirely sure of this

so google this extensively

and do your research

but that's up to you

[wild spoke]

I think my family can but its just pretty expensive so yea I'll wait for the css decision ig. I'll also email them

[coarse isle]

oh alr

in that case i wouldn't worry too much

[wild spoke]

ty bro

[coarse isle]

if your family can

yeah for sure

also pro tip in your fin aid email be extra nice and all reiterating you absolutely want to go to cornell

remember they might be going out of their way for u

[wild spoke]

wait so how should I say it should I just say I was not aware css was a thing or should I say stuff like I was having a hard time figuring out my family's financial info

[coarse isle]

be honest whatever the situation may be

[wild spoke]

alright

[coarse isle]

hey @abstract nimbus sorry for the ping
i was wondering if its fine to talk about a subfield within a major you're interested in entering rather than the major in general in the why us

the only reason i'm choosing my major is cuz of that field lol 😭

[lavish marlin]

@ionic belfry hop on bro

lmfao a2c got orz

[abstract nimbus]

No yeah definitely fine, just mention specifically why choosing that major at Cornell will let you go into that subfield

[coarse isle]

tysm!

[quiet rock]

You think that choosing undecided engineering is bad

[thorny violet]

I did it during my 650 essay (Ecology & Evolution within Biological Sciences) so it should be fine!!

[coarse isle]

oh that's nice

[thorny violet]

I think they would prefer you get more specific anyway because then it shows why it matters to you

[coarse isle]

yeah true

the major i'm going for is quite broad in itself so i kinda felt the need to be specific

but it's engineering so i gotta cram it into 250 words 😭

[thorny violet]

Ough.... best of luck!!

[coarse isle]

tyyy!

[lavish marlin]

🙏 🐮

[ionic hearth]

I did this with quantum computing!!

[ionic hearth]

😔

CAS >>

[coarse isle]

ooh nice

i just finished my why us essay but i need to cut 11 words 😭

[ionic hearth]

😔

ur so close

[modest ermine]

I remember I has to cut 8 from the Ezra Cornell prompt, but I ended up cutting lik 30 cuz I used a lot of unnecessary fillers, I needed to rethink of stuff to put in

[ionic belfry]

What’s up

[bronze arrow]

does arts and sciences not have letters of rec?

the general cornell website says 2 but when i open the tab on common app there’s nothing there

[weak valve]

It does

[raw basin]

guys i may have been deferred from cornell

but i might get a gf

[bronze arrow]

a win is a win

[raw basin]

[ionic belfry]

Did not expect this thread to become a relationship one

[mossy flower]

does anyone have that chart

of cornell acceptance rate my school

[ionic belfry]

I sent it earlier

[mossy flower]

i am not seeing it dawg

[ionic belfry]

https://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/university-factbook/undergraduate-admissions

You’re good it was yesterday so I resent it

You have to filter by school but it’s rly good

[mossy flower]

dang hmm ok

[versed dawn]

i wonder what would happen if someone got in to cornell without applying to a college

[prime abyss]

Huh

[burnt grove]

idk man

last time i checked

mit is an institute

columbia, yale (my beloved), upenn, jhu, vanderbulit, and rice is an uni not a college

[versed dawn]

i meant applying to an individual college withinc ornell

[burnt grove]

i see

[versed dawn]

since no one's applied or been accepted that way in the past 5 years

[thorny violet]

I don't think that's possible? At least I don't remember there being an option on Common App where you don't have to select a school

[versed dawn]

idk man its on the website https://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/university-factbook/undergraduate-admissions

[thorny violet]

Sorry I'm on mobile right now so the website is messed up Could you send a screenshot?

[versed dawn]

ill dm

idk how to send images

[indigo notch]

how come on the website i see the ann bowers college of computing and information science but when I want to apply on common app its not there

is it a subgroup of the arts and sciences college or something?

[jaunty juniper]

need to level up

by talking

[versed dawn]

damn

[thorny violet]

That's pretty crazy, I don't know if there's an option anymore to choose no school just looking at the graph and seeing "0" in both applications and acceptances
