Its a singulsr sticker

[versed dawn]

how do ig et it

[weak valve]

U wait

They mail it to u.

[haughty crown]

How common is a likely letter?

[hybrid temple]

Rarer than getting in

[haughty crown]

Oh

[hybrid temple]

I meant rarer Oopsie

[haughty crown]

lol

[ionic hearth]

this is so sad 😨

@thorny violet i like your nickname

[frigid anchor]

[candid atlas]

nope

[thorny violet]

Thank you, thank you

[dusk basin]

Cornell interview completed!!!!! The best one I’ve had

The lady was so nice

We were both mecheng / aeroeng girlies

[weak valve]

Huh

[ionic hearth]

i don't think CAS gets even a single sticker 😔

[ionic hearth]

RAHHH

[dusk basin]

RAHHHHHHH IMMA JOIN YOU AT CORNELL BASEDGOAT

[ionic hearth]

🙏

[weak valve]

U do

[ionic hearth]

😳 really

[weak valve]

Yes.

[ionic hearth]

my confidence has been restored 😍

[crimson oxide]

If I were to send a application update would it go under "ED Postpone Correspondence" or "Optional Supp"

[rare magnet]

ikr

[mighty jackal]

do intls get a package too?

[night raven]

does anybody have any feedback about the wine tasting course?

[lavish marlin]

bro i wanna do the wine tasting class and the food science 1101 class because of ice cream

****need

[weak valve]

My friend is it in rn why

[night raven]

what do they think about it

[eager acorn]

is the ice cream actually good at cornell

[weak valve]

They like it

[night raven]

thank god i wrote about it in my supps then

🙏

[weak valve]

Yeah

Tastes normal lowkey but irregularly high fat content

Theres also like soft serve for sorbet

Dole brand

[eager acorn]

yummm 😍

i love ice cream

[weak valve]

Yeah its at like

Every dining hals

And many of the on campus pay using dining dollars cafes n markets stock it

In pints

Or cups

[eager acorn]

in pints??? omg thats amazing

[weak valve]

Also there r two

One is under hotel adm and one is under cals

My friend is in the cals one

The hadm one is hard as fuck

[night raven]

i upplied cals its cool

[mighty jackal]

do people look down upon IS majors btw

[weak valve]

To pass

[weak valve]

Mo

Mo

No

[mighty jackal]

i applied as an IS major cause it best fits my interests ngl

[night raven]

makes sense since its hotel school bth

[mighty jackal]

aah, i saw everybody roasting it in reddit 💀

[night raven]

what is IS

info science?

[mighty jackal]

Information Science

yes

[night raven]

why would people look down upon that

[mighty jackal]

apparently its for people who find CS too hard

and dropout

[weak valve]

ehh

they leave a lot of room in freshie admits

[mighty jackal]

i genuinely like it tho 😭 like the research and centers were genuinely cool

[weak valve]

bc CS majors from cas or eng tend to transfer

to IS

[mighty jackal]

aah I see

[weak valve]

after freshman year

lag

[mighty jackal]

what does that mean exactly

[night raven]

a lot of people apply IS cos cs is too hard

or cos they genuinely prefer it

[mighty jackal]

yeah thats what i heard too

[mighty jackal]

i think its cool man dunno abt yall

i mentioned in my app Cogn Sci and IS

💀

[night raven]

im an econ major mate

[night raven]

cognitive science is cool

i mentioned htat too

behavioural eocn

[mighty jackal]

ikryt

i love Cog Sci

[mighty jackal]

i love it too

[weak valve]

like theres a lot more that will be in ur graduating class

than who is there ur freshman year

like about double id say

[mighty jackal]

insane 💀

so it really is a cop out major damn

thats sad

[weak valve]

lots in it actually like IS

which is why they transfer

[mighty jackal]

hows Cog Sci

[weak valve]

its good

[mighty jackal]

aah

[weak valve]

im not taking any cog sci courses this sem but i loved intro cog scci last sem

[mighty jackal]

I really liked Cornells research areas

so much variety

[weak valve]

the lab im doing rn is PSYCH/BIO

for social sensory neurogenomic

stuff

but um

we r adjacent with a COGST/PSYCH lab that i hope to be able to swap into so that i can get cogst credit

😭

[mighty jackal]

SO FUCKING COOL

i wanna take classes on perception

i think thats the niche i am REALLY interesting in

[ionic belfry]

Cals or hotel

Ik a lot abt hotel

[mighty jackal]

whats the smirk for 😭

[vocal ivy]

how popular is the statistical science major

[weak valve]

idk

never heard of it

maybe once or twice

😭

[night raven]

Go on then

[smoky aspen]

hello my fellow prospective corn farmers

[ionic belfry]

What do u wanna know

I have friends that r TA’s

[night raven]

🤫

its top secret stuff

[ionic belfry]

Hmm

[night raven]

(please i want to know what kinda shit they let you taste)

[ionic belfry]

Good wine

There’s dark liquor and beer classes too

You can also learn to bartend here

[night raven]

me when my parents ask what i am doing at the ivy league university

[hybrid temple]

reminder no alcohol talk outside of the class itself

[lavish marlin]

ok

[smoky aspen]

When does cornell send out likelies

[night raven]

Does cornell do likelies?

[smoky aspen]

absolutely

[night raven]

Never seen a cornell likely

[hybrid temple]

yep they do likelies

[smoky aspen]

https://preview.redd.it/is-this-a-likely-letter-or-did-i-actually-get-in-v0-9q3rheiqqun81.jpg?auto=webp&s=08d30a888d6ce65a649734aa114d84c8fec2d960

[hybrid temple]

they send like early maexh

[smoky aspen]

all at once?

[hybrid temple]

no idea

dont think about them much

youre more likely to get into cornell than get one LMAO

[night raven]

I'm guessing they'll send them out for cals considering dyson and eng will be stacked anyways

[smoky aspen]

this is for eng applicant

I believe they give likelies N times more than other ivys

considering their class size

[night raven]

feel like yale is most known for their likelies

[hybrid temple]

i think that's because they give it earliest

[mighty jackal]

what percent of international admits get a likely letter?

[vocal ivy]

oh 💀💀

[lavish marlin]

cornell should give out stickers

[mild oyster]

this doesn’t make sende

Sense

[night raven]

yale sends out likelies to stem and eng students since they need commitment from them

assuming smth similar for cornell but cornell gets plenty of eng and bussiness students cos dyson and cornell eng

[ionic belfry]

A ton of my friends got them

[outer jolt]

A ton as in

Well i alr know im getting one 😎

[ionic belfry]

Like 10?

Maybe 5

[outer jolt]

Ok

On the yt videos i swear every single person either gets a cornell or columbia likely 😭

[hybrid temple]

likelies r for what colleges deem high in demand applicants and want to endear themselves to the applicant

[outer jolt]

Tldr: not bertha

[white minnow]

some kid named grant tucker got it

[lavish marlin]

isn't he the guy that is IN the collegeboard stock photo for the ap/sat

i logged into my ap portal one day and i was like omg how is he in that photo

[white minnow]

wouldnt be surprised tbh his bio says hes a model

[prime oxide]

Very corny also yes

[eager acorn]

😭😭

[lavish marlin]

i watched his reaction video and ec video i was thoroughly disappointed wiht myself after

man can do everything

[drifting hill]

my friend got a likely letter last year!! she was fgli engineering w a 4.44 gpa

[white minnow]

Yup

He’s my dream bf

[prime oxide]

Yall don’t compare yourself to others ec wise 😭

[thorny violet]

^ this

[prime oxide]

Especially online, those people are usually exaggerated

I muted r/collegeresults for a reason

[hybrid temple]

i've muted r/a2c, r/chanceme, r/collegeresults

[prime oxide]

Ain’t no way an a2c mod muted a2c

[thorny violet]

Not affiliated

[prime oxide]

Jkjk

[hybrid temple]

a2c reddit is it's own containment zone i swear

always some form of SAT blah blah there

[prime oxide]

Ugh I get r/sat stuff so often and that’s actually the worst

[hybrid temple]

i was on r/sat and then blocked it once i finished with the SAT

[prime oxide]

Fair fair

[hybrid temple]

u see one "i got a 1580 AMA" and you've seen them all

[prime oxide]

I still get recommendations from there even tho I’m committed 😭

[prime oxide]

Yeah that and “is my 1590 good enough 🥺”

[hybrid temple]

"oh noes, i got a 1520 😢 "

[eager acorn]

I need to do this

[prime oxide]

Community college time, I’m sorry

(No shade to community college ofc it’s great for what it is)

[lavish marlin]

its all good that was last year

i mean who can complain ab corny 🤭

[lavish marlin]

i thought we were connected with redditers

i was once just an a2c reddit lurker then i joined the a2c discord

[waxen jolt]

no literally they collect them like its nothing 😭

[outer jolt]

Real

They act like likelies are normal

[ionic belfry]

@frigid anchor

Im at brooks rn

Just had a 3.5 hour interview

[eager acorn]

[ionic belfry]

That was the final round

There were others before that lmao

Cornell clubs r crazy

[gaunt jolt]

What did they ask u?

[ionic belfry]

Yesterday?

Behaviorals/casing/texhnicals/product pitch

[placid anvil]

interviewing u to join a frat is dystopian to me

i thought it would be a herd of frat bros seeing how rich u are and how well u can shotgun beers

[ionic belfry]

Biz frat

That is for frat frat

[ionic hearth]

Yes 😍

[lavish marlin]

ICE CREAM

[prime oxide]

I doubt that’s true 😭 (share in DMs?)

[weak valve]

Korei got a likely

[weak valve]

I just realized they also sell cornell dairy whipped cream

[ionic hearth]

to yale ⁉️ 😳

[weak valve]

cornell

[ionic hearth]

WTF

im gonna eat so much ice cream

[ionic hearth]

interesting

[weak valve]

Id be careful

Bc

Its categorized as butter

The fat content

[ionic hearth]

congratulations to korei 😍 a

[ionic hearth]

oh thats true

i also like butter way too much 😔

[mild oyster]

who is korei

[weak valve]

Its why i avoid

Cornell dairy

[ionic hearth]

i guess ice cream is just a biweekly thing 💔

[weak valve]

😭

[ionic hearth]

ohh

[weak valve]

My e bf

[mild oyster]

oh! did he just get one

[weak valve]

Last year

[mild oyster]

ahhh

[mossy flower]

boop

[gaunt jolt]

What do you use to prepare for these interviews? Casebooks?

[ionic belfry]

Casebooks?

They have prep workshops, or consulting companies publish examples

[gaunt jolt]

Ah

[shell prairie]

omg

korei so talented

as expected

[gaunt jolt]

Best of luck to you! I hope you get in

[ionic hearth]

i wish i was him. except for the yale part.

[shell prairie]

I wish I was you

😭😭😭

[ionic hearth]

😔

[shell prairie]

You better send pictures

[ionic hearth]

!ivyd

[shell prairie]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

I found a stray cat on my way home today

Sign of good luck

[ionic hearth]

YES

omg

i cry when i see stray cats 😨

[shell prairie]

It was a gray cat

It had its tail up

[ionic hearth]

😔

[shell prairie]

fr

There used to be like a group of 5 strays back where I used to live

They lived in a shipping container

😭😭

[weak valve]

Friendly notice!

Cornell does not have sprite!

Since we partner with pepsi!

[mossy flower]

noooo

im withdrwaing

[velvet oak]

i still love cornell

i'm a true lover girl

[eager acorn]

L partnering with pepsi

Pepsi is disgusting

[uncut wolf]

Does Cornell have Fanta

[weak valve]

If its pepsi affiliated then yeah

Also to note the dining halls dont have any sodas

Youd need to spend cash or dining dollars

But some of the juices r rlly good + seltzer is healthier

[shell prairie]

Pepsi cancelled their sprite clone

That's crazy

[weak valve]

These r In dining halls to clarify

[weak valve]

No

Its starry

I just hate starry

As a spire lover

Sprite

[shell prairie]

Oh they renamed it

[shell prairie]

I used to drink sprite

Now I only drink water

[weak valve]

I just dpnt drink water

[haughty crown]

@ionic belfry do you take first year writing seminar?

[shell prairie]

Same

I'm severely dehydrated

[weak valve]

I do

Everyone has to

Unless u got 5 on lit or lang

[haughty crown]

Oh ok

[weak valve]

And even then u can only get out of 1

[haughty crown]

I was wondering about the AP test.

[haughty crown]

Wdym

Is it a rough class?

And do a lot of people get out of it through the test?

[weak valve]

U cant use two ap 5s to get out of 2 fws

[weak valve]

Its a rite of passage

Why do u ask

[haughty crown]

Because if I do get in to Cornell I was wondering if I should take the ap lit test

[weak valve]

What college r u

[haughty crown]

Nolan

Riley is in Nolan I believe so I was wondering what she had to say

[weak valve]

ic

[haughty crown]

Ty though, very helpful

[weak valve]

There are like

100+ options

[haughty crown]

Oh lol

[weak valve]

Since they have to make enough available for the 4k freshman

Including some sophomores

[haughty crown]

I thought it was on set thing

[weak valve]

No you choose

[haughty crown]

Makes sense

[weak valve]

Theyre supposed to be easy A

[haughty crown]

Do you like it?

[weak valve]

If u look at the knight writing institute website it says basic requirements

[weak valve]

My last one was a nightmare

[haughty crown]

Oh uh

[weak valve]

Amazing class and rlly insightful topic bc i picked based on topic and low workload and when it was work it was fun then the teacher cucked everyone and i got a B-

This semester, nice teacher, decent amount of work, she likes how i write bc im not a B- writer

[haughty crown]

Omg

[weak valve]

Okay topic

[weak valve]

This was contract grading

Which is very hit or miss

[haughty crown]

Is there a place I can look at all the options for these classes?

[haughty crown]

?

[weak valve]

Theyre uploaded like

Very close to enrollment

They change every sem

But on the knight institute website as i said

U can find basic info and maybe info from this sem

[weak valve]

Profs/teachers choose grading system

Contract is basically u sign an agreement contracting an A or B and it lists what u need to do to get that grade

[haughty crown]

Oh ok

[weak valve]

But usually theyre very attendance heavy and participation heavy and they do expect the above and beyond

[haughty crown]

Bet

[weak valve]

Unless u get a nice one

[haughty crown]

Oh that’s annoying wrf

[weak valve]

Yea theyre in the minority but i got cucked by ppl saying to pick based on topic i enjoy

Like rhat should def factor in but go for grad atudent

Not a no rating rmp prof

[haughty crown]

Woah the topics actually look pretty cool

https://fws.arts.cornell.edu/brochures/2024SP_Brochure.pdf

[lavish marlin]

they literally have everything omg

honestly i wouldn't be mad to write anymore🤭

[haughty crown]

This look pretty fun tbh

[lavish marlin]

literally

as a cs major i approve

[weak valve]

Guys…. Im at 105 dining dollars

[weak valve]

Unless u pick a topic u like like i did

And get cursed with a prof from hell

[weak valve]

Soon to be under 100

Bc im buying lunch

[weak valve]

Tbf there were like ten other topics i liked

Its just i didnt think to have to change

Bc i didnt know my grade until winter break

[lavish marlin]

did you get tired of writing the topic over and over again

[weak valve]

No

I fucking loved the topic

And the way he made me see it from a diff side

Like idk gender and sexuality isnt smth i enjoy writing abt but the way it tied into dystopia made it interesting and gave me a completely diff take

But a B- did terrible things for my gpa

[weak valve]

Also for the class im in rn yes theres quite a bit of writing and i like the topic less but the way the teacher made the assignments is making it funner for me + her way of not giving me shit grades whrn im a good writer

Like she makes it feel like a nice environment to engage with

Like i dont feel judged for my takes and she doesnt get annoyed when no one is participating

Bc i lowkey participate a lot but even i dont do the hw readings always

😅

[lavish marlin]

not knowing if im doing well on the assignments is definitely weird

[weak valve]

Yeah

[lavish marlin]

i gotta lock in for that class😔

[weak valve]

I contracted an A, he said hed email us if we fell out of our range, checked report card in december saw a B-

I never got an email

[lavish marlin]

for the seminar are there discussions too?

[weak valve]

Wdym.?

[lavish marlin]

idk in my ap classes they say there's a lot of those open ended discussions in english classes

[weak valve]

I mean

[lavish marlin]

a question is asked and people just give their opinon

[weak valve]

Thats what seminar means lol

[lavish marlin]

LOL whoops i thought it just meant writing

[weak valve]

Google socratic seminar

Itll explain the method

My hs did it so it felt normal for me transitioning

[lavish marlin]

lowkey hate them i guess i just gotta tough it out

[weak valve]

There r like four or five discriminators between class section types: lab, lecture, discussion, seminar

[weak valve]

☹️ why

[lavish marlin]

I JUST YAP and i just feel like opinions on a text tend to overanalyze everything

[lavish marlin]

english lab? also whats the diff between discussion and seminar

[weak valve]

Lab is like chem lab, food lab, physics lab like ykwim
Lecture is teacher ranting and u just absorbing unless ur in like math 1110 which is small so its treated like discussion
Discussion is smaller than lecture by a lot like usually 20-40 ppl and its usually led by TAs and they just help u understand the content. Some classes do psets or weekly quizzes in discussion

Seminar is talking and very interactive and very small. No more than 25 ppl

[weak valve]

No

Just in general

😭

Like

Nvfm

😭

[weak valve]

Yapping gets u participation which all english teachers appreciate of any breed

And so what if ur overanalyzing

[lavish marlin]

😭

[weak valve]

100% the writer didnt intend for the text to be read 90% of the ways its read in classes

But so what

Idk i like english

Liberal arts hs moment

😭

[weak valve]

Also i think discussion is usually only had if the same class has a lecture section

[lavish marlin]

i definitely like creative writing but i hate when i have to dissect the meaning of certain poetry/writing and their words

[weak valve]

Otherwise its called seminar

[weak valve]

Then dont take classes focusing in analyzing that kind of writing

Theres creative writing fws too

And film analysis

And music analysis

Idk

There was a taylor swift fws a whilee ago

And a beyonce one

Like j have fun w it

😭

[severe tundra]

how easy is it to switch schools for Cornell…

[sick rose]

does cornell nolan release the result early?

[outer jolt]

No

[sick rose]

i thought it's gonna be early March?

[stray field]

nah

[night raven]

hows cornell a&s econ for employment and breaking into ib? i know dyson is a target but how mcuh differently is cals econ regarded?

[mossy flower]

less but stil good ofc

[weak valve]

Decently easy

Depends on the switch

Hardest to switch into is dyson/engineering

For obv reasons

[eager acorn]

what about switching to the hotel school?

[severe tundra]

makes sense, what about into the college for arts and sciences,

[elfin thunder]

thats easy

at most t10s iirc

[weak valve]

Prolly easy but ud need to be wary of requirements

My sophomore friend switched in okay tho

[weak valve]

Again same thing be ont rack w requiremnts

Dont transfer if u wont grad in fime

Time

Thats largely why engineering ist he hardest to transfer into

[weak valve]

Cruah

Crush

I just checked

[uncut wolf]

aw :(

[lavish marlin]

i haven't had crush but they're both orange sodas so i'll take it

for me sunkist and fanta are the same

[stray field]

sunkist always seemed sweeter to me

[ionic hearth]

HI CORNELLIES

oh my god

today was awesome

[weak valve]

Guys

Subways on ubereats??

[ionic hearth]

SUbway is not worth ubereatsing

😨

[outer jolt]

Fax

[haughty crown]

I’m a food delivery app hater so NO

Especially if it’s subway

@outer jolt did you rd to Cornell? I probably already asked you this, I have a bad brain.

[outer jolt]

I dont have a car :(

[outer jolt]

Yea

[elfin thunder]

yes

[outer jolt]

Why is bro answering for me 💀

[haughty crown]

ITS SO EXPENSIVE

YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED

[eager acorn]

I am too

[elfin thunder]

@haughty crown did u apply dyson?

[haughty crown]

food delivery apps I mean

[haughty crown]

Nolan 😊

[elfin thunder]

oh i see nice

[eager acorn]

I would drive over having someone deliver my food

[haughty crown]

You are Dyson though

[outer jolt]

Ive used food delivery apps about 2-3 times in my entire life

[haughty crown]

Honestly

[haughty crown]

Same tbh, but only when they have really good promotions

[elfin thunder]

yeah i felt nolan was a waste, gl tho for cornell

[outer jolt]

Once last week and the other time when i forgot to pack myself food at work

[frigid anchor]

chipotle nightmares

[outer jolt]

I was on a 6 hour shift

[haughty crown]

Wdym

[outer jolt]

And i got hungry asf

[frigid anchor]

nolan is really good

*hawk

[outer jolt]

Nolan is easier to get into but its some hotel admin thing

[haughty crown]

lol

[elfin thunder]

i wouldnt wanna pay for a hospitality degree and dyson is better for finance

[outer jolt]

So not for me

[elfin thunder]

i heard nolan kids inferior too

but idk how true that is

[outer jolt]

Dawg

[haughty crown]

Umm

[outer jolt]

What do u mean by inferior

😭😭

[elfin thunder]

like all the opps go to dyson kids

[haughty crown]

[elfin thunder]

and everyones tries to transfer out of nolan -> dyson

[outer jolt]

@ionic belfry u gon let this shit slide

[frigid anchor]

where did u hear about this? reddit???

[haughty crown]

Like some people

[outer jolt]

Bros cooking nolan

[haughty crown]

Right 😭

I just want to go to Nolan. It’s the only reason I’m applying to Cornell, I love Nolan.

[frigid anchor]

wonder what people think ab public policy

[elfin thunder]

meh not my cup of tea lol, riley told me that they also look for v specific ecs relating to nolan

[haughty crown]

Best in da country #1

[eager acorn]

nolan seems really cool

[elfin thunder]

nah dyson freshmen

[frigid anchor]

yeah like working as a waiter/ress

[haughty crown]

[elfin thunder]

its deffo gonna be good, since its pretty new its not looked down upon and public policy valid

[elfin thunder]

yuh or like hotel internships at hilton

[outer jolt]

All ive heard is its useless unless ur on a prelaw track

[eager acorn]

id honestly take classes there even tho its not my major here

[frigid anchor]

😭

[elfin thunder]

yea same

but idk

[haughty crown]

I had two hotel internships as my first two ECs

[elfin thunder]

poli sci from an ivy is good

connections go crazy

[elfin thunder]

yeah i had none of that

[haughty crown]

Plus internship with the Nationals baseball team

[elfin thunder]

a school in my district feeds to hotel school

[frigid anchor]

yikes

[outer jolt]

Sadly the truth is other ppl can do the same job that public policy kids can

[elfin thunder]

nice nice

[outer jolt]

So the comp for the available jobs is insane

Its not a specialized field

[haughty crown]

I’m just passionate about hospitality 💪

[outer jolt]

Kinda like communications

[frigid anchor]

ik. understanding policy def doesnt even require a degree

[indigo notch]

does anyone know what format sending updates to college should be? like should it be a letter in paragraphs or bullet points or what

[elfin thunder]

what jobs can u even get with public policy

[haughty crown]

Letter

[outer jolt]

There are communications jobs available but legit every major is applying for those

[elfin thunder]

more ppl who do public policy are acc passionate id assume

[haughty crown]

With paragraphs. Like a normal letter.

[outer jolt]

Sadly they soon realize that the rich and elite run everything

[indigo notch]

will the ao have time to read it tho

[haughty crown]

People shit on Nolan for like no reason

[outer jolt]

Congressmen are rich bc they get insider trading info

[elfin thunder]

it is what it is

[frigid anchor]

hill internships, governmental jobs, i think at cornell tho lots do consulting

[haughty crown]

It’s late af to send but yes

[outer jolt]

Thats only the least of their knowledge

[elfin thunder]

so inevitably everyone gonna go into finance

[indigo notch]

its late even for rd?

[frigid anchor]

i love public policy but i'd probably try to do consulting even w a public policy degree 💀

[indigo notch]

i thought mid feb to march is the best time

[haughty crown]

I’ve heard (if you’re talking about Dyson) that it’s a huge pipeline to consulting like they kinda force it onto you

[outer jolt]

No one is hiring public policy majors into meaningful and high paying governmental positions sadly

[elfin thunder]

yeah fair, i dont blame u finance is goated and if ur at cornell its way easier

[frigid anchor]

LMAO

[elfin thunder]

dyson good for pe too

surprisingly

[outer jolt]

I applied as public policy because its been a secondary interest of mine but if i end up getting in somewhere non business school ima just do econ

Then go into ib or consulting

[elfin thunder]

same

[frigid anchor]

you applied to brooks?? thought u did dyson

[elfin thunder]

he did dyson

right

[outer jolt]

No

Dyson

[elfin thunder]

kvd go gtown ull get finance

easily

[haughty crown]

https://youtu.be/oV-qW5Iovik?si=4SveT2BS780QYPao check this out if you wanna know more. It’s a good video.

[elfin thunder]

connections go crazy there

[frigid anchor]

i dont know anyone applying as a healthcare policy major💀

[outer jolt]

I only applied public policy at like harvard Yale stanford duke basically all top schools with no business schools

[elfin thunder]

my friend did and he got in lol

[outer jolt]

For undergrad

[elfin thunder]

but im telling him to go into consulting

[frigid anchor]

ur friend is hella cracked

[elfin thunder]

nah hes not

[haughty crown]

You weren’t deferred?

[eager acorn]

harvard doesnt have public policy

neither does yale

[elfin thunder]

his stats are so ass 😭

[frigid anchor]

he can even with a hcp degree

[elfin thunder]

same

[elfin thunder]

yeah i mean if ur at cornell

ur set for finance

or any ivy for that matter

[outer jolt]

Yea but its a bit too elitist and ive heard some issues of racism for POCs . I know its there at ivies too but at least theyre more prestigious

[frigid anchor]

theres racism everywhere.

[light kestrel]

thats not tr ue

[outer jolt]

Thats what i said

[elfin thunder]

i see

[haughty crown]

😭

[light kestrel]

public policy -> think thank pipeline

[indigo notch]

i applied rd but got new awards from my ecs

[light kestrel]

think tank

[elfin thunder]

what is think thank ive seen that a million times

i even saw an mit think thank comp

[outer jolt]

I shouldnt shit on it tho considering im prolly going unless i do get into a t10

[light kestrel]

idk that much aboht them but theyre like firms dedicated to specialized research in policy

[frigid anchor]

cornell public policy is one of a kind tho. i dont think i've ever seen such niche policy classes offered anywhere else.

[haughty crown]

Ok. Yeah, just send a little update letter. It’s slightly different than a loci because that’s placing emphasis on your continued interest.

[light kestrel]

exactly

and their washington program is a rly good way to start breaking into think tanks

[haughty crown]

Cornell is so amazing 🤩

Love the corn

[frigid anchor]

you'll probably make another t20 tbh

[elfin thunder]

bro it doesnt matter just go and grind

gtown is perfect if u can network well

[outer jolt]

I mean i have 17 left so yea i hope i do

[elfin thunder]

idk why u care abt these trivial issues

[frigid anchor]

tryna eliminate the competition huh

[frigid anchor]

17????

[elfin thunder]

nah i didnt apply gtown

[outer jolt]

Well ill grind once i get there so lemme chill

[outer jolt]

15 rd 2 deferrals

[haughty crown]

You applied to how many schools?

[elfin thunder]

ah i see

[haughty crown]

Oh em gee

[outer jolt]

22

[frigid anchor]

no i mean u said go to georgetown 💀

[haughty crown]

Good for you omg

[outer jolt]

7 ea 15 rd

[indigo notch]

so bulleted sentences?

[outer jolt]

Was not good for health

Idc if i go 0-17

Still worth it

Imo

[indigo notch]

do i even need to include the letter format or can i just list things and send

[frigid anchor]

kinda wish i just ed'd cornell bc less competition

altho theres more spots in rd

[outer jolt]

Nah cornell ed was rough this year

Not worth

[frigid anchor]

i mean i dont think a lot of people applied to brooks, especially a major as niche as health care policy. pretty sure they increased the brooks class size too.

[haughty crown]

Yes. Much more fitting than a loci. Still use the letter format, yk. Dear blah blah, thank you, blah blah.

[outer jolt]

They reduced ed admits remember

[outer jolt]

They would reduce the number of admits then most likely

Raising the bar

I dont think ill get dyson tbh

Test blind and 3% AR

Formula for failure

[haughty crown]

I hope you get into Dyson

[outer jolt]

Thanks

[frigid anchor]

brooks has a 9 percent acceptance rate. its acc nuts

[outer jolt]

I hope u get into nolan

[frigid anchor]

we believe in u kvd

[light kestrel]

my brooks essay was so bad

[frigid anchor]

same lmao

[outer jolt]

Im ngl dont waste ur kindness on me my parents prob wouldn’t even let me go if i got in 😭

[haughty crown]

Like I weirdly really want you to get into Dyson because I always see you on this server. And assuming I get into Cornell, it’d be cool to meet you irl. And Dyson is dope.

[frigid anchor]

ec's can carry tho

[light kestrel]

i changed the topic halfway the 2 hours beforbthey were due

[ashen pilot]

my friend had no hospitality ec’s and got in nolan this year

[light kestrel]

Too political

[light kestrel]

thats the only thing carrying me fr

[elfin thunder]

ohh yeah its a good school

[frigid anchor]

i just focused on community impact. better to be safe than sorry

[light kestrel]

literally same

[frigid anchor]

hope wellesley works out for u

[light kestrel]

i know nothinf abt brooks value or the admissions team

[haughty crown]

But Georgetown is great. I love it there. I spend a lot of time there because I’ve been taking classes, and it’s nice. Too small of a campus for me though, especially compared to 🌽.

[light kestrel]

THANK UU🙏

[frigid anchor]

i think they just care about community impact through policy

thats all i got through skimming their website (which is hella vague)

[ionic belfry]

What’s up

[haughty crown]

THEY ARW SHITTING ON NOLAN

they were at least

[light kestrel]

ya i kinda got that too

i hatevhow theres 0 info

[ionic belfry]

Nolan has a. “Higher” acceptance rate because of. Legacies+atheletes+hospitality work experience and school programs

It’s very artificially inflated

[haughty crown]

I was saying I applied there and someone said it was inferior or something 😔

[ionic belfry]

But also not that deep

[frigid anchor]

@ionic belfry

[frigid anchor]

@ionic belfry this too

[ionic belfry]

Not true lol

[outer jolt]

Personally i would most likely pick georgetown over cornell simply bc the location matters a lot to me and if i wanna do smth international related i have more connections but dyson AEM is one of my favorite programs so im not sure lol. If i grew up near gtown i would prolly hate it just like i shit on any dallas area schools lol

[ashen pilot]

even without hotel ec’s, if ur essay shows ur passionate ab the school and major, they will be convinced

[frigid anchor]

im ngl cornell's location sucks 😭 really wish they were in a city

[haughty crown]

Georgetown is my favoriteeeeeeeee area of DC. It always has been, it’s beautiful.

[ashen pilot]

it’s like 3 hours away; not much of a difference tbh

[frigid anchor]

but i love the nature and gorges on the campus

[frigid anchor]

3 hours??? wym no difference thats far away.

[ashen pilot]

they have a bus that lets cornell students go to the city without cost, runs 24/7

[haughty crown]

I’m quite proud of my essay (which is about hospitality). But then again, I got deferred which kinda feels like crap and is making me doubt it all.

[ashen pilot]

it’s not bad as it seems 😭

[ionic belfry]

Tbh it’s mixed

[outer jolt]

In my interview i asked what he would change and he said the location and he started shitting on ithaca

[ionic belfry]

I have New York friends that go home twice a month

But if you’re not from nyc, it’s expensive to stay there

[frigid anchor]

lol my interviewer LOVED ithaca

[ashen pilot]

one of my friends goes home every week

[ionic belfry]

So being “far away” doesn’t even rly matter

[outer jolt]

He said the proximity from nyc is a downside

[elfin thunder]

i thought reduced in state tuition?

[ionic belfry]

A lot of rich kids go back to Miami or Texas like every month tho

[frigid anchor]

maybe you'll like it if u go to cornell

[outer jolt]

Bc he wanted to do like nyc internships and stuff

[ionic belfry]

Huh

[frigid anchor]

thats insane

[outer jolt]

Least priveleged ivy league admits

[haughty crown]

Are there a lot of “rich kids”? Like can I get myself on a yacht?

[ashen pilot]

W essay. they want u bro trust me, march 27th is the day.

[frigid anchor]

i'd only go back home during winter/spring breaks

[ionic belfry]

At Nolan, most kids r millionaires

[elfin thunder]

New York residents attending undergraduate programs in Cornell's three contract colleges and schools, the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, and Bachelor of Science candidates in the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy are eligible for Cornell's New York State contract college tuition rate.

[outer jolt]

Have u seen ithaca….no yachts fam 😭

[ionic belfry]

Where is this coming from?

[haughty crown]

Thank you 🙏

[frigid anchor]

hope you're joking

[ionic belfry]

I’m talking abt getting a hotel in nyc for the weekend

[outer jolt]

28th right

[haughty crown]

Bless 🙏

[ionic belfry]

@elfin thunder

[elfin thunder]

ohh i see

mb

[haughty crown]

LMAO I mean a trip or something lol

[ionic belfry]

Ik they have in state tuition kid 😭

[elfin thunder]

i misread

yeah LOL

[haughty crown]

I want a rich person to take me to Europe

[ashen pilot]

i think

[frigid anchor]

i wish cornell allowed double majoring across schools

[haughty crown]

Last year some ppl on college confidential posted that they were notified early March for Nolan

Maybe it was likely letters

[ionic belfry]

Yeah it was

I’m with my friend rn who got one

[frigid anchor]

yeah some people get earlier notifications. i think nolan just releases early tho

[haughty crown]

SO COOL

I want a likely letter. They seem so cool for some reason.

[ionic belfry]

Don’t expect it

Like 10 kids got them for Nolan

[haughty crown]

Yeah that’s what I think. Like Nolan is a little early.

[indigo notch]

does cornell not reveal regional admissions person

i cant find it anywhere

[frigid anchor]

10??

[ionic belfry]

Don’t expect to get in either tbh

Set expectations low

[haughty crown]

Like 210 kids get accepted rd to Nolan anyway lol

[ashen pilot]

any ILR here?

[frigid anchor]

no but its a cool major

[haughty crown]

Were they an exceptional applicant in your opinion?

[ionic belfry]

Yeah

Got a full ride to Ross and Cmu too

[haughty crown]

Oh shit

[frigid anchor]

full ride to ross is goated

[haughty crown]

And they picked Cornell?

[ionic belfry]

Yuh

[haughty crown]

Radical

Tubular

[ashen pilot]

fr

[mild oyster]

Full ride based on merit or need

[quiet rock]

Hello corn kids

[weak valve]

why

i wouldnt survive hear

here

without ubereats

[eager acorn]

dyk if they give public policy likely letters?

[haughty crown]

Because it’s a scam

[haughty crown]

Isn’t the food reaaaaally good?

[ionic belfry]

Cornell doesn’t do merit afaik

[ionic belfry]

And unsure but maybe!

[outer jolt]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8KLFJPc/

[weak valve]

impicky and im hungry when the dining isnt open

i use like 11 swipes in 2 weeks

😭

also define really good

its lowkey repetitive

unless u use actual dining odllars or money

i dont like morrison which is where a lot of the variety is

[haughty crown]

Why don’t you like Morrison?

I always see videos of people eating there.

[weak valve]

bc im picky

i dont like the stir fry station (sodium and i dislike the sauce after having it 20 times) and i cba to walk all the way there everyday to check if they changed the stir fry to smth else

i dont like eating pizza

i dont like the way they make the pasta bc it usually has mushrooms

or has an essencfe of mushroom or olive

and i dont eat alfredo bc im lactose intolerant

i dont check the halal or other dietary stations bc i feel weird going there if im not specifically on said diet

which is just a social thing for me

and i usually dislike the food on the other side of the grill/asian, like closer to the dietary options, bc its like often potatoes or bread or mixed with foods i dislike like olives or mushrooms or peppers

or like meat that looks dry

and i dont like the asian side bc its lowkey bland

keep in mind i say this after eating at morri like 50 times

50+ times

50++

it just gets boring

and for the salad station, morri doesnt have the crunchy lettuce

breakfast is ok tho

also no actual dining/dining dollars thing is open past 1am

and i used to not sleep tilll 5

[outer jolt]

Holy

[haughty crown]

Valid

[white minnow]

We got a yapper

[weak valve]

They asked twice

😭

I listed every station at morri and why i dislike it

[white minnow]

Nah I’m just joking

[weak valve]

Appels good tho imo

[white minnow]

If I get into cornell@

[weak valve]

Just less options

[white minnow]

I’m not eating at Morrison

[weak valve]

As long as ur not poor

Its okay to agree that dining halls r dog 😅😅

Otherwise u wont be able to like

Afford food lowkey

Like u pay 7k for unlimited swipes and $800 dining dollars

For a year

If on top of that u spend like the avg 200-400 a month on meals

Thats awkward

And bad spending

Like im actually shocked i use so few swipes..

[ionic belfry]

Appel brunch is solid

Otherwise I avoid the dining halls

[loud hull]

does anyone know when the last interview assignments are sent

[indigo notch]

does cornell not reveal specific regional admissions officers? I cant seem to find any

[thorny violet]

They have the emails for each region, but I don't think they reveal the names if that's what you're asking

[frigid anchor]

its by region (midwest, etc.)

[thorny violet]

Yeah, that's what I said?

[frigid anchor]

sorry i meant to add that its weird that they dont reveal names 💀

[thorny violet]

Oh lmao, you're good don't worry I was just confused

[mild oyster]

i j realized

i inadvertently gave dyson my test scores

through my resume

the second they read it they're gonna be biased

[stray field]

they r test blind

[ionic belfry]

They’ll ignore them

[night raven]

is dyson impossible to transfer to?

[rocky prism]

from what i heard from friends that go there, yes

[haughty crown]

I remember going on a Cornell trip and they outlined the requirements to get into the business school. Like you need to take calc ab to get into Dyson and take three years of a language. At that point (I was a junior), I thought my plan was to get into Dyson and transfer to Nolan 😭 because I had take a AB but only two years of Spanish. Anyway, that was incredibly stupid and I’m taking Spanish III now.

[zealous whale]

does precalc fulfill the requirement

[winter notch]

What about the college of engineering

[umbral ivy]

Does Honors Calculus fulfill?

[stray field]

u need calc, physics, chemistry

[winter notch]

Does AP calc bc, AP physics 1, AP physics mechanics and E&M, and honors chem work?

[stray field]

definitely

[zealous whale]

@stray field do u know if this is fine'

[stray field]

i dont see why not

but im also an applicant so i dont know everything

[winter notch]

wait shit I meant calc AB

[ionic belfry]

You need calc and physics if that’s the question

[stray field]

calc is calc

[winter notch]

I’m just concerned because people who apply have so much higher levels of math than me

I seen people who have like multi variable calc and diff eq

[stray field]

for eng

[ionic belfry]

For engineering

[stray field]

the requirements are on cornell's website

[ionic belfry]

U don’t need physics for Dyson no lmao

[dire orchid]

Do ppl in us take those classes seperately?

[ionic belfry]

You’ll take a few math classes and catch up dw

[dire orchid]

We do them in a level maths and further maths

[winter notch]

Those aren’t offered as APs, they are usually taken as community college courses or from local colleges if highschoolers take them

[winter notch]

If I get admitted

[frigid anchor]

wait how do u find these reqs for other majors?

[stray field]

u can just google admission requirements for ur respective college

[haughty crown]

No

[haughty crown]

I think it has to be AP

[haughty crown]

I never looked at that.

I’ll check rn for you.

[zealous whale]

ty

[haughty crown]

Oh no, just normal calculus.

[haughty crown]

https://dyson.cornell.edu/programs/undergraduate/how-to-apply/application-requirements/#first-year

Are you a junior?

[weak valve]

AP is never required

Just the content of the class itself

AP is solely for credit and rigor

[haughty crown]

But it’s recommended to take that if you can.

[weak valve]

Huh

Literally

All this info is pinned here alrdy

😭

[weak valve]

U must have completed AB calc

[winter notch]

Oops

oh ok

[weak valve]

OK WIFI

AB CALCai

[winter notch]

yeah I completed that

[weak valve]

fuck

[winter notch]

U had me so worried for a sec

[weak valve]

The wifis shit today

Pls stop replying

😭😭

[winter notch]

Dude mine too it’s crazy

[weak valve]

Lmfao

[stray field]

lmao

[zealous whale]

its like that for everyone

[winter notch]

LMFAO

[haughty crown]

I think it’s the server

Or discord

[weak valve]

Huh

Ohh

Its discord

I see

😅😅

[haughty crown]

I actually don’t know how to find pinned messages on mobile lmao

[weak valve]

U click the name of the thread

Then settings

[haughty crown]

They updated the app and I have no idea we’re a lot of things are

It’s annoying 🐍

[stray field]

i think it's easier to go to pinned if u follow the thread also

[haughty crown]

There are no pinned messages

Nvm, discord is just slow

[weak valve]

Who unpinned my msgs

SORRY

ITS DISCORD

[dire orchid]

I applied to the liberal arts college so do i email them like a loci?

[haughty crown]

Yeah basically. It’s more of an update about your ECs.

[ionic hearth]

good morning cornellies!!

this thread hasn't been this active for a good while

im glad 😍

[haughty crown]

Ik! I love to see it.

[lavish marlin]

@haughty crown did you get deferred or applied rd? i feel like you were here when ed happened idk

[frigid anchor]

16 units, including 4 of English, 4 of mathematics (calculus is strongly recommended), and 4 of science (including 1 of biology, 1 of chemistry and/or physics, and additional core sciences such as advanced biology) https://admissions.cornell.edu/how-to-apply/first-year-applicants/college-and-school-admissions-requirements

if i didnt take physics am i ok?? my schedule didnt allow me to

[prime oxide]

I read this without the “this” at first and I was confused

[lavish marlin]

doesn't it say and/or chemistry?

as long as you got that ur fine right

[frigid anchor]

yeah i have chem. i was just wondering if it'd be a bad look anyway bc theres so many people who have completed physics.

[lavish marlin]

as long as you got the requirements idk why they would complain

i accidentally put start and end date of my high school as june 2023-june 2023 and they still accepted my ass

😭

[haughty crown]

Deferred unfortunately 😔

[frigid anchor]

HAHAHAHA

[haughty crown]

Idk if it’s a good or bad thing.

[lavish marlin]

hope i get to see u accepted to corny in march tho

[frigid anchor]

at least you get your app reconsidered. cornell ed was really rough this year.

hope you get in :))))

[haughty crown]

Thank you 🤞

[haughty crown]

Ugh I knowwwwww. I haven’t seen many deferrals.

[stray field]

deferral gang 🖐️

[lavish marlin]

there's too many cornell a2cer's tho

we need to gatekeep some more

[prime oxide]

One of my irl’s also got deferred

He’s convinced they’ll have a fairly high deferral acceptance rate

[stray field]

idk im ready to collect rejections

[haughty crown]

Which school?
