Cornell University (2023-2024)

[weak valve]

Which is googlable

Honestly its not that bad to go thru the physics track

Dont do honors tho

[manic ether]

will a 4 in c mech give me credit

gotta check

[weak valve]

Idts

I had a 4

Got nothing

[manic ether]

no its only 5

imma also check if they got dual cred

cause that would take out mvc

[weak valve]

Youd need to like

Apply for it

Or smth

Could also just CASE it

[manic ether]

test out?

damn credit acc hard to get here

[solar vortex]

theres a dept of romance studies in this school

[burnt grove]

ironic

[solar vortex]

ikr

[weak valve]

Most unis have one 😭😭

[solar vortex]

wait i think i might be massively fucking idiotic

its abt romance languages

not the fucking genre

i am going places

[weak valve]

LMAO

[hybrid canopy]

how bout

[solar vortex]

i really thought i was gonna get into cornell

[hybrid canopy]

u and me get together and research some romance studies together

😏

[solar vortex]

no

[ionic hearth]

YES

[ionic hearth]

smooth

[hybrid canopy]

thanks love

[ionic hearth]

🔥

they r gonna lov eur essay

[solar vortex]

mmm idk abt that

[prime oxide]

Funnnn

[jolly parcel]

what are you supposed write for the 350 word supplement essay? is it a diversity essay? or community one? cus istg one of the engineering prompts is another diversity one

[burnt grove]

engineer a time machine and ""persuade"" ezra cornell to stop yappin

fr tho

its a diversity

• how will u contribute

thats my teck

take

[manic ether]

the engineering problem is objectively better

imo

[burnt grove]

fr

[prime oxide]

Yeah it’s actually relevant

[jolly parcel]

what if my majors niche

its bioengineering

i think its hard to come up with solutions

[burnt grove]

mine is chem engineering

arguably nicher

try research what bioengineers do

then link with problems around ya

[prime oxide]

I didn’t do one related to my actual major

Still engineering but different part

[manic ether]

btw can you help my do a final review in a bit

[sturdy dew]

Is it easier to get into CALS or the college of engineering

I wanna do premed

my first choice is BME through college of engineering but I've also done a lot of reserarch in marine bio like a concentraiton in marine bio in CALS might be easier to get into

[manic ether]

there is living proof of why you shouldnt do bme premed

[weak valve]

r u instate

also bio eng aligns more with premed courses than bme

[prime oxide]

Probably sure

[manic ether]

i think its pretty much the 3 words park
my essays are fine, just the words might be a bit corny

(no pun intended)

[prime oxide]

You can dm them if you want

Tbh unless it’s really bad it won’t make much of a difference

[manic ether]

alr

[sturdy dew]

no

[left valve]

anyone wanna make suggestions on my essays

😍

[hardy fulcrum]

:-0

[obsidian mortar]

anyone here at cornell and could grab a syllabus for me?

[weak valve]

what class

[fathom dirge]

fix a problem is easy

[ionic belfry]

I swear none of mine have syllabi posted for the sprint

[fathom dirge]

I just copied my 500 word essay on low-density polymers

[solar vortex]

material science?

thats cool

[fathom dirge]

from our ELA research assignment

and then I gutted out a ton of it

[obsidian mortar]

AEM 4080

[fathom dirge]

I just watched a video on it from wendover productions

[solar vortex]

lmaooo

[fathom dirge]

his videos always get me inspired

[solar vortex]

true

wendover is one of the goats

which video

[fathom dirge]

fr

why recycling is broken

he talks about how China refuses to take the polymers

because they are hazardous to recycle

for employees and environment

good vid tho

[solar vortex]

ill check it out

[white plume]

Did anyone fill in the highest math class question on common app

I follow the British system and have done A level further math

Does that put me beyond calculus and if so which courses should I list

[indigo notch]

does anyone wanna exchange supplemental essays with me for college of arts and sciences

[whole grove]

i can submit tomorrow right

[manic ether]

ye

[whole grove]

alr bet

[quiet rock]

not a good idea but yes (I'm still stuck on a prompt)

[whole grove]

you can ask jae too

[finite lava]

U forgot I was predator in apex

But that was a long time ago when apex was easy

[feral mortar]

i sent u

[shell prairie]

didnt know my fault

[left valve]

could someone proof my essays?

s'il vous plait

[loud hull]

Just submitted 🎉

[ionic hearth]

😍

future cornellies fr

[loud hull]

No frr

I hope the rd acceptance rate is higher bc ed was a train wreck

[manic ether]

yeah same

just holdin out ig

[coarse isle]

is it beneficial to submit cornell resume?

[weak valve]

if it contains new info not alrdy in ur app then yeah

[coarse isle]

also if anyone knows should I answer this section as things are rn or when things were different at another time in hs

[coarse isle]

oh alr tysm

[manic ether]

you guys i spend a lot of time out of home doing ECs can i put that in??? /s

[fossil grove]

same situation 😭

[manic ether]

i hope it doesnt affect my chances much

[fossil grove]

like i worked to support family last year but not anymore

[manic ether]

my life is either doing homework or ECs

or chillin

but not a lot of chillin

[fossil grove]

for the 650 word cas essay do we refer to it as "the college of arts and sciences" every time we mention it

or can we abbreviate😭

[coarse isle]

lol imma just assume all of hs just cuz it says academic record which is prolly all of hs

[fossil grove]

literally writing this the day of the deadline

[coarse isle]

wym

[fossil grove]

oh okay ty!

[coarse isle]

maybe when you write colleges of arts and science you can put (CAS) afterwards

[fossil grove]

oooh good idea

then refer to it every time after that as cas

[coarse isle]

yup

[manic ether]

like after school i spend a lot of time either there or in the robotics shop

its a joke though

[coarse isle]

damn i wish my school had robotic shop

[coarse isle]

oh alr

[manic ether]

i absolutely gotta submit tomorrow

💀💀

ive been watching cfp all night

[coarse isle]

lol yeaj

[coarse isle]

cfp?

[manic ether]

college football playoffs

go blue and go huskies

[coarse isle]

oh whos paying

[coarse isle]

ik uconn is huskies

[manic ether]

michigan won against bama in OT

mb

[coarse isle]

oh alr

[chilly tree]

SAME.

[weak valve]

i need to stop submitting applications

within like 5 min of the deadline

im going to have a heart attack

one day

[alpine moth]

Where are you submitting to

I thought ur at Cornell

[weak valve]

Just a research program for summer

[alpine moth]

What engi are u doing

[weak valve]

Like what major?

[alpine moth]

Yea

[weak valve]

Bme

[alpine moth]

Premed?

[weak valve]

Yeah

[elfin thunder]

is cornell really in the middle of nowhere

[weak valve]

depends on ur definition of middle of nowhere

[fossil grove]

really underestimated how much time it would take to write the 650 word essay for cas...

[placid anvil]

[light kestrel]

my princeton 500w essay works for brooks!!

[quick spoke]

I just clumped two essays together

250 why major and 250 why school with an expansion on the why school part because Cornell gotta Cornell

[quiet rock]

I've reword the first cornell suppp like 3 times already

it just SUCKS

[quiet rock]

Just wrote the greatest essay in 30 minutes

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-basketball-nba-gif-25800655

[remote pollen]

Im doing a level math, does anyone with a level math know what they answered to it?

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1121856189710475314/1191645403532238868/image.png?ex=65a63143&is=6593bc43&hm=12845e824122d15f37792a3ea2adca2e78c1245a398c83e039aaf8fbcef4029a&

Here are the options

[velvet oak]

wait why did I not see this question

i it for engineering or what?

[remote pollen]

i think so

[cedar marlin]

What am I supposed to say for 3 words to describe Cornell engineering 😭

[burnt grove]

safety anti-suicidal nets

[hollow geyser]

2 classes

[velvet oak]

an aspiring engineer

bro I literally used 'lively' as one of my descriptors lol

how bad will it be

[weak valve]

I used

Idk it cant be worse than mine

😭😭😭

Bro i put literature-lover kms

[velvet oak]

what's kms?

[weak valve]

Killing myself

I put lit lover as one of my words

😭

I think the other 2 were like

Normal adjectives

And then that one

[velvet oak]

oh mb

[velvet oak]

i guess it's good

i was thinking of nature-lover first but then i went like no

[weak valve]

Lmao

[velvet oak]

and then I chose random adjectives

which are far from making sense

[weak valve]

Lmao

I tied my why engineering words to my white engineering essay

Why

Then the about me was just

Brain spee

Spew

[velvet oak]

oh wait now if I think about it maybe that unintentionally happened with my 650 work essay too

im chill hehe

[quiet rock]

The first prompt is so broad lmao I hope AOs like my essay about my neighborhood

[velvet oak]

I hate my pton essays man, I literally started one with a quote. Isn't that too cliche or what?

[velvet oak]

I've literally talked about "tossing a farm-fresh salad." (ik makes no sense)

[quiet rock]

I hate broad prompts but ig more freedom to work with

[weak valve]

I started a lot of my essays w a quote or a question

Or the statement of the metaphor

My ps started with a dialogue quote

😭

[quiet rock]

I talked about gardening lmao

[velvet oak]

so it works right 😭

[weak valve]

I guess 😭

[quiet rock]

anything works

[velvet oak]

i went on cornell 2028 page somehow most admits do gardening it's crazy

[quiet rock]

That was my commonapp essay 💀

plz let me in

[weak valve]

My commonapp was discord modding

[quiet rock]

!ban jae

[weak valve]

Yeah

That was the first line

Of my commonapp

Howd u know!

[velvet oak]

gl!!

[quiet rock]

nahhh

[weak valve]

I essaified it tho

Sonit wnas like

“You have been banned from (Server)…”

[quiet rock]

nice

well it worked so

[grave mulch]

Did they extend the deadline

cus I saw a post somewhere they extended their deadline

[fervent trail]

can someone take a look at one of my supplements plz

[ionic belfry]

Last year but I’m not sure if they did this year

[feral mortar]

Does anyone want to review my 2 Cornell essays?

[weak valve]

no

not really

[shell prairie]

interesting...

[manic ether]

submitted

waiting for my rejection letter

[burnt grove]

gg

we are all

[true crypt]

wrote my sups in an hour

their loss if they wont take me

yolo

[cedar marlin]

That quick bro😭

[true crypt]

had stuff to reuse

[ionic belfry]

The 650 word one? Dang

[obsidian mortar]

meanwhile i been writing the 650 word for like 3 days

[true crypt]

yappington's my city

[uncut wolf]

Yes

[uncut wolf]

Can u send link plz

[weak valve]

in dms

[glad siren]

finally submitted cornell

[cloud rapids]

just realized I completely missed the prompt for the 650 question

[ionic belfry]

No way

[cloud rapids]

didn't submit yet so no worries

the actual question is actually easier to answer than what I originally thought it was so that is great!

[loud hull]

how long did it take for ppl to get their portal info after submitting?

[prime abyss]

Well they have a portal and then the loaded in info after 2 weeks

Which is kinda odd but yeah

[sturdy dew]

bout to start writting my cornell supps

[glad siren]

i still need 200 words on my 650 word

like WTF do they want

they want a whole ass common app essay as a supplement

[sturdy dew]

do we HAVe to do the optioinal essay for CALS

like is it bad if you dont

[glad siren]

if its optional

[sturdy dew]

cuz Ion wanna write it

[glad siren]

its not optional

[sturdy dew]

rip

[glad siren]

if u dont write it

ur just making it easier for them to reject you

[sturdy dew]

is CALS the easiest to get into?

[glad siren]

not sure

[inland badge]

guys, even if I submit my app later than the deadline
am I ok if I get the portal

[sturdy dew]

yea sounds abt right

[glad siren]

kinda outdated

[sturdy dew]

interesting

[glad siren]

i was deciding between CAS and enginerring since im CS

but theyre basically the same

one year engineering could be higher one year CAS

and also my potential dobule major is in CAS

not Engineering

[versed dawn]

hows the food

at corn

[prime abyss]

Prob full of corn

[manic ether]

nope

theres no corn actually

but i will change that

the cornfield man is coming (i am getting rejected)

[prime abyss]

proof?

actually i planted corn

[thorny violet]

I think the percentage-wise it's easier than COE or CAS, but I think it's like Humec or ILR where if your heart's not into it the admissions officers can tell

[manic ether]

my delsuional rants about how ill make a cornfield at cornell

[thorny violet]

CALS also has different priorities than say CAS or COE so that's something to keep in mind

[tidal fiber]

@weak valve did you do the diversity or the solution essay for coe

[weak valve]

solution

[elfin thunder]

hotel 💀

ofc dyson is the smallest

@ionic belfry im gonna submit soon

[quiet rock]

The more I read my cornell any person any study I felt like it was aasking more seriously but at the same time

how tf is Hotel 30%

[prime oxide]

i shoulda applied to hotel

higher admissions chances

[solar vortex]

im doubting my essays lsat minute rn

[eager acorn]

Cornell

🙂

Please accept me

[prime abyss]

aint no way its over

[weak valve]

was deadine tn

?

[manic ether]

ye

[prime abyss]

oh fr?

i dont even remember i got it in last week

[ionic hearth]

YOU WILL BE THE CORN MAN

[ionic hearth]

😔

u might be done for

im sorry

[ionic hearth]

🙏

[manic ether]

es ist over für mich

[solar vortex]

idk if my 350 word essay is good enough

[ionic hearth]

wordship the corn man

[manic ether]

im not getting in guys imma be fr

[eager acorn]

I wanna be the corn man

[manic ether]

no

[ionic hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/interstellar-driving-speed-driving-cornfield-gif-12526462

[solar vortex]

i still havent done my three word yet

any advice?

[eager acorn]

Actually the last sentence of my why brooks essay was me begging them

lol

[eager acorn]

What theee word

Three

[ionic hearth]

submit to the fertile vestiges of this verdant heartland.

[solar vortex]

for eng u have to write 3 words abt urself and cornell engineering

[ionic hearth]

😭

[ionic hearth]

Don't overthink it

[weak valve]

just pick words

[ionic hearth]

Don't reject yourself

[weak valve]

uve prolly heard me say this alrdy but u can connect ur eng words to ur why eng essay

[quiet rock]

just do like sophisicated special super cool

[shell prairie]

if i do this they arent gonna force me to do cog sci right

[manic ether]

i have so little hopes lmao

[quiet rock]

If any of these colleges accept me they have issues fr

[manic ether]

^

[shell prairie]

^

[solar vortex]

^

[tidal fiber]

SAME

[weak valve]

no

but why do that

if ur essays are for cs

[vast wraith]

hey guys

[shell prairie]

my why major essay is about cs and cog sic

[vast wraith]

uhh

[weak valve]

WAIT UR COG SCI?

[shell prairie]

idk maybe

[weak valve]

IM COG SCI

[shell prairie]

no ur not??

arent u bio med

[weak valve]

IM TRANFERRING

TO COG SCI

[shell prairie]

oh

[quiet rock]

what is cog sci

[weak valve]

cognitive science

[shell prairie]

im debating either doing cs or computational cog sci

[quiet rock]

is that just fancy psychology

[weak valve]

its psych but more tech

[eager acorn]

Yuh but In a nonchalant way

[vast wraith]

so my house burnt down two days ago and so i dont have access to my laptop, do you think they can give me a lil extension on my app if i ask?

[manic ether]

its so over lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo why do i even have hope theres no point i hsould just nah

[weak valve]

more stem

[solar vortex]

same 😭

[weak valve]

yeah email over phone or smth

[quiet rock]

yeah

[weak valve]

or go to a library

and use their laptop

[eager acorn]

No

Don’t give up

[manic ether]

bro ive already given up

[weak valve]

what abt AI

[quiet rock]

sorry to hear that @vast wraith

[weak valve]

or is that comp cog sci

[vast wraith]

do you think i can call tomorrow?

[manic ether]

aint AI in cs

[eager acorn]

Didn’t start northwestern but I’m not giving up 😤

[shell prairie]

i thought comp cog sci does ai

[quiet rock]

You can

you'll be fine max lol

[weak valve]

proabbly

[weak valve]

comp cog sci is AI

[eager acorn]

Under those circumstances absolutely

Don’t be stressed, and I’m sorry you went thru that

[weak valve]

im between cognitive neurosci and uh

[quiet rock]

woman in CS

[weak valve]

comp cog sci

[vast wraith]

idk if it matters much but i threw it in my common app additional info

[quiet rock]

what are these goofy majors

[vast wraith]

that im like. homeless rn

lol

[manic ether]

bro that legit sucks

[quiet rock]

Yeah you can put that

home insurance have any hotel policy or something?

[vast wraith]

uh

our renters insurance is capped at like

25k

we're staying at a hotel tonight

[ionic hearth]

😨 stay safe

[vast wraith]

we were gonna stay with my grandparents but they got covid today

[prime abyss]

wait so what did you originally pick

[vast wraith]

i might also have covid, i have no idea

[quiet rock]

Well I hope everything clears out in two ish weeks for you max

[prime abyss]

dang im sry that sucks

[ionic hearth]

😔 we r here for u if u need it

they'll give you an extension don't worry about that

[weak valve]

im in engineering college

for bme rn

[quiet rock]

My friend does biomed at Georgia tech

[weak valve]

honestly when i was applying to colleges my major of choice was computational neuroscience

[quiet rock]

He says its pretty interesting

[weak valve]

but i read a lot of things saying that bme allows a focus in that

so i applied bme everywhere

but cornell doesnt

have that

😅

[prime abyss]

oh i see

[weak valve]

under engineering

so i uccked myself

[quiet rock]

ggs

[shell prairie]

wait so if i pick cog sci or comp sci and im not sure they wont force me to do either one right

[weak valve]

yeah

u enter CAS undecided

its largely for them to work out predictions of class distribution

and also see how ur app aligns with it

and how u compare to other applicants in the major i assume

[manic ether]

shouldnt have picked cs its gg

[shell prairie]

cool so i should put cognitive science as first choice so its easier

[quiet rock]

cs is just so cracked nowadays

[manic ether]

if i had hardware ECs id apply compE

tbh

[quiet rock]

I hope I just get into one school fr

besides tech but

I want to see snow

[manic ether]

tbh any sort of positivity about life has left me years ago

[prime abyss]

💀

[shell prairie]

fr

[quiet rock]

senioritis is always an option

[weak valve]

if u want and ur ECs and essays align with cog sci then yeah

[shell prairie]

uhhhh

my ecs are kindcomp sci leaning but my why major essay is like both

[chrome nova]

i mean since u indicated both it shouldnt be that much of a problem right

after all ur interests cant always directly be in line with a specific major

[quiet rock]

@weak valve is cornell financial engineering a sham

[weak valve]

wdym

in orie?

[quiet rock]

yeah

[weak valve]

wdym sham

[quiet rock]

cuz like it says it has a undergrad but I can't find any mention of it

[weak valve]

it does?

its within orie

its a concentration

of the orie major

[quiet rock]

ok I have no clue why I can't find the page idk

[weak valve]

engineering info is all in the handbook

that i pinned

[quiet rock]

yeah I can only see orie but I'm tryna see the concentrations

I'm prob juts blind

[quiet rock]

yeah I'm just blind

[weak valve]

you just take electives

in financial eng

[quiet rock]

oh ok

[shell prairie]

@weak valve u know ur commenting on my old versions right

😭

[weak valve]

i didnt even give edits to the 2nd one

🙄

[shell prairie]

i pasted new one

[weak valve]

[chrome nova]

nah

[tepid berry]

I HATE THE CORNELL ESSAYS

[outer jolt]

Real

[serene fractal]

chat i think i accidentally just came out to my parents through my cornell essay

um

[chrome nova]

Lol

[outer jolt]

Hi titxn

[whole grove]

if you weren’t ready, i’m sorry. but it’s brave nonetheless

[worldly forge]

^^

[cloud rapids]

gl aidan

[serene fractal]

thank you but i think im actually good! i have two versions of the essay so i was showing them the other one thankfully

[cloud rapids]

ah nice

so I just rewrote my entire 650 supplement. now at 615 with a good portion focused on my devotions.

but cant find a way to write more about the college itself part

[rough turret]

u dont need to submit SRAR for this school right

[cedar marlin]

bruh what 3 words yall said for cornell engineering

[mild oyster]

WAIT

cornell extends deadline?

[cedar marlin]

no

[cloud rapids]

some colleges have a grace period where they accept the application for a short amount of time after the deadline

thats probably not the word tho

uhhhh

oh it is grace period

[weak valve]

Synchronized swimming team

[weak valve]

It did last year

Dont bank on it tho

[cedar marlin]

should i find the words from the engineering page

[cloud rapids]

I would try to go for something unique, so maybe not

and creative as well

well, I did some more research for th college specific and now I am over 650 words

what a turn of events.

[quiet rock]

Congratulations?

[cloud rapids]

[inland badge]

guys for the communty essay

how many words is enough

mine is 292

[cloud rapids]

I would go for a little more 292/350 is only 83%

ofc it doesn't have to be 350 but in the range is good

[obsidian mortar]

trying to cut these last 6 words is painful

[cloud rapids]

only 25% of my 650 essay is cornell specific ughhh

[gritty maple]

[chrome nova]

[keen sage]

My gpa was avg and extras were mid af

[quiet rock]

[cedar marlin]

Wait I’m relating the first supplement the 350 one to Cornell community should I do that or nah

[inland badge]

why not

just show how you'll contribute to community tho

[cedar marlin]

I did that decently enough I think

Hopefully

[inland badge]

hey

can I dm you

for a sentence in my essa

[cedar marlin]

I’m not a pro but sure

[tardy jewel]

Is the deadline for the supplement tonight or Jan 10?

[cedar marlin]

Tonight

[manic ether]

where did jan 10 come from

[quiet rock]

last year I reckon

[tardy jewel]

application portal says the deadline to submit required application materials is jan 10

was unsure if that included the writing supplement

[manic ether]

nah supp is due today

[wraith raptor]

isnt 650 words a bit odee for tht one CAS supp? r most ppl actually writing around 650?

[thorny violet]

I did CALS but I wrote 650 exactly if not then 649

[wraith raptor]

on jah u a yapper

jk

mad respect 2 u

[glad siren]

whats the minimum i should have for the 650 word one

[wraith raptor]

im just over 600 but i dont want to j talk abt random topics

so idk

[thorny violet]

This was after I cut down from like 750...

[glad siren]

blud what u even yap about

i cant think of anyting else and im at 450 ☠️

do u wanna read mine to see what i can do?

add*

[wraith raptor]

ngl i j copied and past my umich supp and added a bit more info

and fixed it to cornell ofc

[glad siren]

well my umich shit was hot garbage

soo

i prolly dont wanna do that

[thorny violet]

I told my entire life story in there jk, I did like 350 words of just how I got interested in my major basically and how I formed my aspiratiosn

[wraith raptor]

wwww

[glad siren]

do u think u can read mine?

[thorny violet]

300 was about cornell(?) if you can call it that

[glad siren]

i have only 85 words of how i got interested

should i increase that

[thorny violet]

Yes

[thorny violet]

Kind of tight on time, but sure!! I don't think I'll be able to do detailed comments though like everyone else I've read for so just a warning ☹️

[glad siren]

okay bet

thanks

[vocal ivy]

only if you have time to, would you be able to read mine in like an hour ish?

i don’t need detailed comments just like a general comment abt if the essay makes sense and stuff

[thorny violet]

It should be ok!! Send it over

[cedar marlin]

for cornell's major essay: How do your interests directly connect with Cornell Engineering? i should give backstory right

[fathom dirge]

I gave a backstory yeah

makes dealing with the word count easier too

[white minnow]

Submitted

[tidal fiber]

would you mind looking at my essays too 😭

[thorny violet]

Sure Send them over too

[obsidian mortar]

man docs counted my response as 350 words but common app says its 353

[glad siren]

yea the word counting is weird

for me one essay was 151 in docs but 150 on common app

[obsidian mortar]

pain

[gray arch]

Is Cornell 11:59 est or local

[obsidian mortar]

every common app is local

[gray arch]

nah not always

[obsidian mortar]

oh what

[gray arch]

ut Austin and uiuc use cst deadlines

for example

common app lists everythinf as locap

[obsidian mortar]

ut austin took mine at 11:30 pst, i assumed their website was a typo

[gray arch]

that's prob cuz they had a extension

by 5 days

[obsidian mortar]

mm that would make sense

[gray arch]

for the Rd

[obsidian mortar]

well

i got lucky

no complaints

[light kestrel]

can someone please read mt brooks essay

[prime abyss]

I see

[elfin thunder]

is anyone here on this?

[elfin thunder]

yeah

[shell prairie]

W

korei i think

[slender reef]

Guys

what do cornell people call themselves

[gray arch]

is the deadline est

anyone

[thorny violet]

I think the deadline is by timezone

[keen sage]

Failures

Jk we cornellians

[slender reef]

Kk thanks Lmaoo

[orchid magnet]

cornell says wait an hour if i dont see the green check mark... its 11:04 💀

[shell prairie]

what checkmark

[cedar marlin]

can i say cs for computer science

[prime abyss]

In an essay or what

[quiet rock]

yep

[gritty maple]

does cornell grant a deadline extension on the supplements 🥲

[quiet rock]

but deadlines aren't usually too hard

[gritty maple]

someone please say yes

[quiet rock]

there is a grace period I think

[gritty maple]

oh thank god

[shell prairie]

wait fr?

bruh

[gritty maple]

my main essay is done

[prime abyss]

Hooray

[gritty maple]

but i ended up last-minute changing to engineering from arts and science so the school-specific essays are different

is it worth not submitting an essay rn?

will there most likely be an extension?

[orchid magnet]

for the first section

[quiet rock]

yeah cuz its been like 3 hours and there is still no green checkmrak for gneral

[shell prairie]

?

[gritty maple]

YOO MENELIK

another ethiopian?

possibly

[shell prairie]

oh the one that says it doesnt submit?

[orchid magnet]

indeed

[gritty maple]

YEAHHH

[orchid magnet]

YEAHHH

[shell prairie]

i never had that problem so idk

my app went in fine

[gritty maple]

should i just submit the application section? will it let me do the supps by tmrw or something

[orchid magnet]

im being set up rn maybe its not meant to be 😪

[orchid magnet]

yea literally about to me, 650 words is craaaaazyyyy

[shell prairie]

contact common app support

they answer within like 10min

[gritty maple]

all i can do is pray they extend the supps 🥲

or i can apply into arts and science

but then idk if i can switch schools easily

[quiet rock]

yeah it will

[tardy jewel]

from looking at other people's stories online it seems like you'll almost 100% be fine if you submit within the next 24 hours

but to be as safe as possible you should try to finish it ASAP instead of putting it off for later tomorrow

[orchid magnet]

i swear if i rush submit and they're like "btw we're extending it to jan 16th again 😘"

[gritty maple]

IK THATS WHY IM SCARED

i think im gonna wait it out

ill submit everything but the supps

[shell prairie]

one school did this to me and im so mad cause i turned in a mid essay

only for them to say

ye we extending apps by 3 days

the day after the deadline

but idk i dont want to risk it

[tardy jewel]

apparently cornell extended it last year
I wish schools announced extensions at least a day before the original due date instead of after you already submitted

[shell prairie]

yea but there was like covid or whatever

[tardy jewel]

for one of my EA schools this year, they extended it the day after the due date and also gave a fee waiver in the email

so I wasted my money by applying on time

[orchid magnet]

columbia ik, the same thing happened to me but even worse bc i realized at 6pm today i forgot to submit my supplement to columbia, and sent a message in one of these channels asking if i was fcked

i go ahead and submit my supplements, and when i check back discord ppl say "ur good they extended the deadlines" like fuck me i could've submitted way betterrr shitt

[quiet rock]

wtf

[cedar marlin]

this happened to me yesterday on columbia just clear all general questions and re do it

[shell prairie]

wait

they extended the deadlines??

[quiet rock]

no

no sorry

[cedar marlin]

for columbia

[orchid magnet]

columbia did

[quiet rock]

wait what

WHAT

[orchid magnet]

yea until 4th

[quiet rock]

bruh

[cedar marlin]

thats what i said

[orchid magnet]

no bc if i had checked my discord a split second earlier i wouldve realized that they were and could've kept working on my supps

[cedar marlin]

they doing everything in they power to not accept me 😡

[orchid magnet]

tysm, i got it

[cedar marlin]

[orchid magnet]

[gritty maple]

the alumni talk thing

[shell prairie]

columbia sent this yesterday bruh

[orchid magnet]

yep

[shell prairie]

i didnt

[tardy jewel]

oh, I didn't know they announced it ahead of time
I guess that probably means no extension this year

[cosmic quarry]

Lmfao

[gritty maple]

[cosmic quarry]

[hazy abyss]

Is anyone else having issues with the General part not checking off

[forest perch]

Didn’t work, issue was Firefox

Switched to chrome

[hazy abyss]

Ok

[forest perch]

Fixed, submitted with 12 seconds left

Not even close

[hazy abyss]

Its passed the deadline for me but I contacted Common App and they said they reset it and I should still be able to submit it

Nero ur so real for that, it fixed it instantly

do u guys know of it will still go through tho, it let me pay and submit and everything

[shell prairie]

oh yeah i frogot to say thanks for your help

[gritty maple]

if it doesn't just call the school

they'll understand

[glad siren]

the writing supp is due today too right?

[gritty maple]

the offical deadline was 27 mins ago

[weak valve]

It’s ok

[gritty maple]

but there might be an extension

[glad siren]

im CST

[hazy abyss]

got it, thanks

i dont really know how to check though

[gritty maple]

when you got to the review and submit page it should give you a green thing

[hazy abyss]

i mean for some reason it lets me edit and (probably)submit applications to schools due like january 1

[hazy abyss]

it let me review and then submit it

[gritty maple]

why isn't it letting me send an image

ok when you refresh and go to review and submit

does it have a green box saying you successfully submitted?

[gritty maple]

yeah then i think you should be fine

i'd still call the school to check but that looks good to me

[hazy abyss]

sounds good thanks g

r other people able to edit and submit to schools where the deadline has passed?

im not gonna try and submit but it lets me do all the steps going up to it for columbia

and that due date was jan 1

[glad siren]

no idea

but they prob dont have a hard close to it

since they gave an extension

till jan 4

for columbia

[hazy abyss]

oh maybe this is why

i didnt know that

how do you know they extended it?

[shell prairie]

they sent an email to the people who didnt submit it for columbia

[hazy abyss]

oh

i wonder if thats for everyone

[hazy abyss]

i had started the app but didnt finish it and didnt get an email

oh well

thanks for help guys

[haughty crown]

Columbia is so sweet

[hazy abyss]

do u think thats for everyone?

[shell prairie]

nahbruh they could have told me before i started stressing the entire new years

[haughty crown]

All schools or all applicants?

[haughty crown]

lol sorry abt that

[hazy abyss]

all applicants?

[haughty crown]

Not sure. Check your spam or maybe it’s about the amount of your app completed. Dont worry if you didnt get it.

[hazy abyss]

Its not there but maybe I will submit it anyway. Im kinda confused why I am able to edit my application to other universities where the deadline is passed?

is that just how common app works

u can submit it but its late so they wont/probably wont look at it?

[haughty crown]

That’s interesting

Just submit, go for it. No point in not submitting if you have the option. That’s just my opinion.

[hazy abyss]

well it costs money so im not tryna waste it yk?

but i think this is something to figure out in the morning

thanks for help fr evie

[weak valve]

yeah

[haughty crown]

Oh yeah ofc, I’m just giving person opinion lol. I know schools have a grace period for certain things like supplementals and they obviously aren’t looking at your app right this second. There is a bit of time, it’s just good to be on time rather than late.

[hazy abyss]

Gotcha, thank you

[agile swan]

is cornell local time deadline? i cant find anything on it

[velvet oak]

what's human ecology?

[gritty maple]

yeah im pretty sure

[velvet oak]
