Cornell University (2023-2024)

[haughty crown]

Same. I think the same thing.

[prime oxide]

Engineering

Which are you?

[prime oxide]

🤞

[haughty crown]

Just looking at how many people were accepted, I think chances are better.

[haughty crown]

Nolan 😜

[prime oxide]

Yeah exactly

[prime oxide]

Good luck!!

[weak valve]

engineering is so fun

[haughty crown]

Thank youuuu!

[candid atlas]

ILR is the goat fr

16 units, including 4 of English and 4 of mathematics

no recommended/required ones

[ashen pilot]

frrr

ilr on top!

[eager acorn]

this is what it said for brooks

Secondary-School Subjects/Requirements & Recommendations:
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)

..im in precalc

will this hurt my app? I gave context saying my school has no acceleration program and summer classes are super expensive (plus i was working evry summer)

[ashen pilot]

noo it’s good u explained why

[eager acorn]

ok!

[ashen pilot]

my friend got in cornell ed, i forgot which school LOL, but she told me it required ap calc, all she did was explain in add. info.

i think ur good

[eager acorn]

oh she got in w/precalc?

[ashen pilot]

yep!

[eager acorn]

thats really good thanks

[light kestrel]

i dont even have precalc Help

[light kestrel]

ur fine

worst case scenario u have to do that summer program thing whichbisnt even bad

idk why brooks requires calc tho like ?

[ionic belfry]

Pssp isn’t too bad tbh

I wouldn’t want to do it honestly but I’ve heard good things

[light kestrel]

yea exactly

i wouldnt mind doing it

[eager acorn]

i wouldnt either

i have other things to do this summer 😭

imagine being in school 😭

[ionic belfry]

Yeah that was me

It would have meant losing 10k lmao

[weak valve]

says strongly recommended

not required

[eager acorn]

yeah, but its cornell so i got worried

where every applicant has calc 40

[weak valve]

thats

a lie

many get into even engineering without AB Calc (calc 1)

[elfin thunder]

No my friend got into brooks and he's graduating hs w/o precalc

[weak valve]

however if they get into engineering like that, they are conditionally accepted

where they have to attend pssp and take calc 1

[eager acorn]

really? had no idea

[weak valve]

idk abt many as in over 50%+

but a good number

maybe liek 3-10%

maybe thats an overestimate

😅

but yeah thteres like a specific acceptance letter

its pssp-conditional or smth

[eager acorn]

oh

[weak valve]

thats why nothings required

just strongly recommended

[eager acorn]

well pssp is better than not getting in

[frigid anchor]

true!

[haughty crown]

Does Cornell rescind a lot of acceptances? And if they do, when?

[stray field]

do u mean rescind

[tardy steppe]

Just got offered an optional Cornell interview

No bearing on my admissions chances right?

[weak valve]

yeah

it just helps u see how u like cornell

[haughty crown]

Yes I’m slow

[ionic hearth]

cormy

[stray field]

prob not often

[weak valve]

I think humec

Was the most rescinded from

Last year

Or maybe not modt rescinded but i heard they sent letters of concern to ppl who got like

Bs

[prime oxide]

dyk of any engineering kids who got letters of concerns?

just out of curiosity

[haughty crown]

Bs?? What?

[vocal ivy]

letters of concern over Bs wtf

[haughty crown]

Right this is worrying me

[weak valve]

no

[placid anvil]

imagine u have a 3.9

and u get a letter of concern

cuz u have a b

😭

maybe

if you have like

b-'s

or multiple b's

[weak valve]

thats

not how letters work

its when u drop from ur midyear report

they probably dropped from A or high A to a B

thats not how letters work

2.0

ik many ppl, myself included, who had gpas hovering 3.7 uw

[placid anvil]

since when was a b a 2.0

[weak valve]

?

i never said that

the fuck

😭

[placid anvil]

i might be misinterpreting then

idk bruh im tired

[weak valve]

i was saying this is not how letters work part 2

😭

[timber inlet]

i can't imagine they'd send a letter of concern over a few b's/

[weak valve]

thats

not how letters of concern work

what

😭

its different bc they accept u generally on a basis u keep up ur good work

if u start failing u dont deserve the chance at a diploma

type

also ofc they stioll got in

2 Bs on a transcript doesnt mean autoreject

jeez

well did they get a letter of concern?

if they dropped in other classes?

no?

didnt think so.

😭

thats not what i said

[candid atlas]

do they base it on final grades??

[weak valve]

ur misinforming everyone by twisting my words

i said i believe i heard human ecology sent out several letters of concern over a drop in grades for ppl who didnt even get Cs

stop reading into my words theres nothing to read into

😭

thats the whole story

[weak valve]

yeah cuz final transcripts get sent

letters of concern ask for an explanation of ur circumstamces

and are usually of little matter

[candid atlas]

ok cuz i was like how are you gonna fix final grades 😭

[tardy steppe]

oh ok. its mainly just asking questions about cornell campus life right

u asking questions*

[weak valve]

well

not necessarily bc many get alum that havent eben there in forever

ur jsut asking questions abt anyhting

like favorite memory, favorite class, favorite prof, best connection they made, how they transitioned from hs to uni, how they used cornells resources to move on after graduating

etc

[tardy steppe]

oh thats cool

thats nice how its kinda stress-relieving

[ionic belfry]

Yeah def

[frigid anchor]

hello everyone

[severe tundra]

mama got promoted 😱

[timber inlet]

“mama” is crazy im ngl

[gaunt jolt]

What part of calc 2 is in ap calc BC?

[weak valve]

all of it?

[gaunt jolt]

Oh

Really?

Im intl so idk what AP calc BC entails

[placid anvil]

calc 1 and calc 2

[gaunt jolt]

ok

thankies!

[ionic hearth]

good morning cornellies

[weak valve]

cornell sucks

[timber inlet]

What happened? 😭

[weak valve]

i have a chem prelim tn

thats what happened

[timber inlet]

chem prelim?

[weak valve]

yeah

idk thats what we call our midterms

cuz we dont have real midterms

just like

heavily weighted exams

whenever profs want to have them

😭

like last sem it was prelim season for me from like

september 16 to december 4

and the semester sstarted aug 22 and ended dec 4

[timber inlet]

Damn

ApplyingToCollege

[dire orchid]

Can i submit it as a word doc an optional supplemental material?

[haughty crown]

On the portal?

[dire orchid]

Yh

Or do i email admission @ cornell . edu

[haughty crown]

Both options are fine tbh.

[dire orchid]

Yh i submitted it on the portal already but then remembered u said to email 😭

[haughty crown]

I personally prefer letters, yk saying you still love the school plus updates, but a doc on the portal is fine.

[haughty crown]

It’s totally ok.

[dire orchid]

Should i still send a letter?

[haughty crown]

https://faq.enrollment.cornell.edu/kb/article/186-how-can-i-add-supplemental-information-to-my-application-file/#:~:text=After applying to Cornell%2C students,of a change in coursework.

[haughty crown]

Would the letter be different?

[dire orchid]

Ig id just say the same thing

Maybe a bit of glazing on how much i love cornell

But mostly the same

[haughty crown]

I think you are fine with just the portal but do whatever you think is best at this point. Personally, I think it doesn’t matter either way at this point.

[dire orchid]

Tysm

[haughty crown]

Lmk how things go March 28th. I believe in you! Good luck.

[dire orchid]

😊

[tardy steppe]

i added my LOCI on the portal only

[waxen jolt]

wait is it recommended to email if you upload to the portal

[haughty crown]

Not recommended, but fine.

It’s recommended to email the loci like a formal letter.

[waxen jolt]

northwestern told me not to 💀

they were like "bruh its automatically added to ur file stawhp"

[haughty crown]

Lmao yeah I don’t really think you need to email and upload.

[waxen jolt]

it was the only school i did that with

okok

[haughty crown]

Ok lol

An AO told me to email so that’s what I did.

[waxen jolt]

email with an update to the portal?

or just email the update to the ao

[haughty crown]

Just email and update.

A loci

[waxen jolt]

oh okay

so like

mail a copy of the loci to the ao

no need to uplaod to portal?

[stray field]

i only uploaded to the portal so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[waxen jolt]

okok

[haughty crown]

Just like a formal letter/ email.

[waxen jolt]

oh oki

[empty scroll]

portal is fine
i uploaded portal then emailed to make sure they got it

[ionic hearth]

😭

[ionic hearth]

good luck 🙏

i hope i skip chem n bio in college

honestly

im not that smart i don't want to do real stuff 😨

[elfin thunder]

not like math majors have to 🙄

[candid atlas]

wheres my cornell likely

[waxen jolt]

bro expected a likely (same)

likelies come out early march

[timber inlet]

They don’t send out Cornell likely’s until like mid March

At least that’s when they did it my year

[ionic hearth]

don't worry about lkelies

🙏

[timber inlet]

Also yes ^

Heavy on the don’t worry

[mossy flower]

@timber inlet is this ur thread now

[timber inlet]

Yes, I am helping

[mossy flower]

ur so cool

im a bgi fan

[timber inlet]

ty

I applied Cornell ed so I know a bit about Cornell 👍

[mossy flower]

rip

[timber inlet]

I didn’t get rejected

[mossy flower]

wl?

[timber inlet]

:)

No

TO

[mossy flower]

to?

ohhh

r u going

[timber inlet]

Transfer option

No

[mossy flower]

wait how does transfer option work

what was the major

i think ill prob get that or a wl

[timber inlet]

Info sci in CALS

[mossy flower]

oh cals

dammit i hear they do more to in cals

its looking a bit rough for cas

[timber inlet]

with a transfer option they just tell you to do a year at another school, take certain courses, and maintain like a 3.0 gpa or something

Then you have to write a short essay and it’s basically guaranteed

[mossy flower]

oh interesting

u liked tufts more i assume?

[timber inlet]

I personally just didn’t want to switch schools

[mossy flower]

yeah tahts valid tbh

[timber inlet]

It takes me a bit to get settled

[mossy flower]

yeah

idt im gonna get any results i rly like so

prob gonna have to resort to transferring

[timber inlet]

Transferring has a very low ar without getting a TO

[mossy flower]

nah for some schools its higher

and also i think im just on the cusp of so many schools cuz im gettin deferred/wled

[timber inlet]

I’m talking about Cornell specifically

I thought you were too. My bad 😭

[mossy flower]

oh

yeah cornell has a high to rate too tho no?

i mean high transfr

[timber inlet]

Most of it is from TO

[mossy flower]

in general

[timber inlet]

I’m pretty sure that’s why it’s so high

[mossy flower]

yeah idk im trynna see if like a good college gpa first sem can sway them

esp cuz my high school is pretty tough and i think id be able to thrive in college

[mossy flower]

oh damn

idk ill see

a lotta options out there

and i wait for rd too

[timber inlet]

It could

[mossy flower]

maybe a lucky thing there

[timber inlet]

Yea, you have time

[haughty crown]

What is this new rank?

[thorny violet]

I didn't even realize you could get a transfer option during ED round, I thought it was only during RD for some reason

[haughty crown]

What school u?

[thorny violet]

CALS

[haughty crown]

Soooo fun

I heard that when Sir Ezra Cornell founded the school he said the college was actually “Cows” because he was a farmer but everyone thought he was saying “Cals” because of his thick accent

Fun fact of the day! 🌽

[ionic hearth]

OMG

CARE

[ionic hearth]

😨 that would be scary ngl

hi

[thorny violet]

The way I doubted for half a second... Don't go around telling lies 😭

[ionic hearth]

So close, this is actually true

😔

[haughty crown]

I’m so bored waiting for March 28th that I think I’m going crazy

[ionic hearth]

im about to fail my spanish vocab so badly

[haughty crown]

We should start this rumor and see how far we can get it to go 😏

[haughty crown]

OH NO

[thorny violet]

Jp don't gaslight me please 😭😭

[ionic hearth]

you're crazy if you think i'm lying!

🤭

[haughty crown]

Gonna go post this on r/cornell

[ionic hearth]

ok

W

how was school for u

[thorny violet]

I still need to do my discussion questions for the great gatsby for AP Lit but I'm tired after reading my entire IR book in one sitting basically 😭

[ionic hearth]

😔

I love gatsby

so much

but that is so real

what was your IR book?

[thorny violet]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

[ionic hearth]

ooh

ok you're gonna hate me for this but the only reason i know about the book was the emma watson movie 😭

[thorny violet]

It's not like a super hard or long read, 200ish pages, but I was annotating the book while reading 😭

[thorny violet]

Nah you're good, I only read it because a friend of mine wanted me to read it

[ionic hearth]

I'm feeling that right now with Life of Pi

i had great momentum but now that i'm getting to the meat of it the annotations are killing me

im starting to read it once then going back 😭

[thorny violet]

My lower back is still killing me from the bus but I'm not sleepy enough to justify a nap before doing the discussion questions... I love gatsby but I'm so sore

My keyboard is lagging help...

[thorny violet]

How many more pages do you have? Like what's currently happening?

[ionic hearth]

Im only on 42 😭 he just got stranded and the Zebra got torn into by the Hyena

[thorny violet]

Jp.....

You're not even an 8th of the book in 😭

[ionic hearth]

Dont remind me 😨

[thorny violet]

This is super gruesome though, I felt super sick during the description of this and when [redacted] eventually happens to [redacted]

[ionic hearth]

uh oh... i do not handle gore well 😭

[thorny violet]

Me neither, I think there's only like one or two more instances of gore but the epilogue/last chapters (spoilers) ||might make you queasy too||

[ionic hearth]

😨

oh dear

I am so screwed 😭

How are you dealing with the discussion questions

[thorny violet]

It'll be ok(?) I mean I felt sick but I think it's only as bad as the description in Divergent when the protag was describing how this guy got his eyeball gouged out, I nearly quit reading right there but I'm really sensitive to gore about certain parts of the body

[thorny violet]

About to take a nap anyway, my head hurts a little and maybe I'll wake up and do the questions 💀

[ionic hearth]

I will try to deal with it

[ionic hearth]

oh no, hope you feel better 😨

i think the nap will be good for you

[thorny violet]

I know napping past 9pm is a trap but maybe I'll overcome it today (very unlikely)

[ionic hearth]

it will work 🙏

[thorny violet]

I don't feel that bad, just feels like what I imagine being hungover feels like which is mostly likely the aftereffects of yesterday

FOR CONTEXT I was at a competition and woke up at 4:30 am and was taking the worst naps sitting up in a school bus for like 6 hours, I was NOT underage drinking or doing drugs 😭

[ionic hearth]

Don't worry I had the same thing sunday too 😭 waking up early and long car rides can really wear u down

[thorny violet]

This was not directed at you JP, I just realized how bad it sounded for anyone back reading 😭

[ionic hearth]

rest is always good 🙏

[ionic hearth]

😭 its ok

the clarification will help the future cornellies avoid pain 🙏

[thorny violet]

I once mentioned in general that I was on the highway (my dad was driving) because my connection was really spotty and carly somehow immediately showed up in general asking if I was texting and driving and I've never typed so fast in my life 😭

[jaunty juniper]

💀

[ionic hearth]

LMAOO

[ionic hearth]

W life advice

don't text and drive

[jaunty juniper]

Once saw a dude on the six lane California freeway with both hands texting no hands on wheel

Scary shit

[thorny violet]

I don't I don't 😭😭😭

[ionic hearth]

the 405 😭

[ionic hearth]

🙏

i'm getting in a car for the first time in a week

i'm actually so scared its bad

😭

[thorny violet]

It'll be ok, don't worry JP have faith in the fact you don't live in the statistically worst area for drivers, plus I'm sure you're a decent driver!! Don't let anyone rush you into taking turns

[timber inlet]

It is only during rd. I got deferred ed and TO rd

[timber inlet]

HI

[thorny violet]

MY BAD, I thought you were a prefrosh for some reason because I didn't check your profile

[waxen jolt]

wait omg i thought the same thing

[waxen jolt]

so where are you now

wait i'm dumb ur at harvard

i should learn how to read soon

[timber inlet]

You’re all good 😭

[timber inlet]

I’m at tufts actually

[waxen jolt]

oh!

woah tufts so cool

[timber inlet]

Never trust someone’s name 😭

[waxen jolt]

my friend got in tufts ed :D

[timber inlet]

Especially here

[waxen jolt]

LMAO real

[timber inlet]

That’s sick!

I hope they enjoy

[waxen jolt]

yes they are very hyped

[timber inlet]

I was hyped too

[placid anvil]

the only thing i know abotu tufts

is theres this one woman on instagram who captions every post with "ivy reject does ...."

and she goes to tufts

[hybrid temple]

Where’d u get in btw

[placid anvil]

i think being that sad you go to tufts is kinda crazy

probably a chill school

[timber inlet]

Everyone knows her

Ppl don’t like her here

[placid anvil]

oh is the ivy reject just a meme or does she actually hate tufts

[timber inlet]

I got off of 2 waitlists too

[hybrid temple]

NCAT was cold bruh

[timber inlet]

It’s a meme. Lots of ppl apply to brown as their first choice and tufts as their second

They don’t get into brown and go to tufts

[placid anvil]

idk i thought it got kinda annoying after a point

[timber inlet]

I didn’t wanna go anyways. They let me in for their spring semester tho

I’ve heard such bad things from the school

[hybrid temple]

https://tenor.com/view/ncat-aggie-pride-bgmm-smooth-ignition-kaos-gif-14589636345032221213

[timber inlet]

So does everyone else. They think it’s an annoying phrase and that she should just be happy for going to a good school

[timber inlet]

My mom kinda forced me to apply 😭

[hybrid temple]

Aggie legacy

?

[timber inlet]

No

I’m a legacy at tufts and Emory

[white minnow]

Are u at Harvard now? Did you transfer

How did u get rejected from bing but accepted into tufts …

[timber inlet]

I’m not at Harvard

[timber inlet]

And also idk

[white minnow]

Oh your name says @harvard

[timber inlet]

Yes ik. It’s just a name with no meaning. I’m not interested in Harvard

[white minnow]

Gotcha, sorry for assuming.

[timber inlet]

No, my name is to make ppl assume 😭

You don’t need to apologize

[rocky prism]

how tf did bing AND stony AND syracuse not take u

but tufts didd

wild

[white minnow]

Literally that’s what I was thinking

Makes me excited for my apps bc it’s just so random I might randomly bag a couple t20s (I’m delusional and on 30 mins of sleep)

[timber inlet]

I got off of Syracuse waitlist actually

[rocky prism]

im ok if i get rejected everywhere and then get into wharton

!! :D

[night raven]

accept me everywhere im so nice and cool and i am a positive influence real

[tiny violet]

(Real) thank you for saving my family from the thieves yesterday, and I can’t thank you enough for helping us get back on our feet. I wholeheartedly endorse you for admission to Cornell University

[night raven]

thank you cornell ao please see this

[night raven]

no problem at all all in a days work 🙏 glad to help

[tiny violet]

If AOs don’t accept you they will lose half of their student body

[night raven]

cornell boycott when kiwi ben is rejected confirmed

[haughty crown]

Imagine if current AOs were lurking on here, taking notes, spying.

👀

[outer jolt]

They prob got better things to do with their life

[weak valve]

Lowkey she prolly does it for the interaction. Boost

[weak valve]

I mean an mit ao is here

Not in this thread maybe but in the server

[tiny violet]

Ik some do on Reddit and whatnot

[night raven]

decent school but not great for getting in finance sadly great research and faculty though

[weak valve]

in the mit thread

and the server

😭

[tiny violet]

Good thing I didn’t apply to MIT

it would be kinda awkward 😭

and cool at the same time tbh

[jaunty juniper]

I’ve never seen a Cornell ao on any A2C

I’ve seen Penn on Reddit

[cobalt cypress]

i got my interview in 30 minutes

[weak valve]

Havefun

[cobalt cypress]

i will

hope the guy is nice

[ionic hearth]

Hi cornellies

[prime oxide]

good morning

[ionic hearth]

I need Panda Express

[weak valve]

Lunch was good today

[prime oxide]

Get it ez

[ionic hearth]

I cant 😦

[ionic hearth]

Post it 🙏

[weak valve]

i did in food thread

dinign hall W

[ionic hearth]

Which hall is it

[weak valve]

the terrace 😅 dining dollars

[ionic hearth]

i need to brainstorm 🙏

[weak valve]

its in statler

[ionic hearth]

OH

[weak valve]

adjacent to statler?

in statler

[ionic hearth]

Is that the hotel restaurant

How expensive is it

[weak valve]

thats the establishment

they wouldnt take dining dollars id assume

[weak valve]

teh establishment?

googlable

itsa normal restaurant

menu/prices are available online

[ionic hearth]

oh

[ionic hearth]

I heard it was really good from the server

[weak valve]

it probably is

[ionic hearth]

yea that sounds too awesome to be true

[weak valve]

i havent eaten there

[ionic hearth]

real

[weak valve]

bc i dont have a reason to

😭

[ionic hearth]

the dining hall food sounds awesome

i need to find the asian fusion one

so i can live in it

[weak valve]

oken

okenshield

[ionic hearth]

Yay

[weak valve]

i mean

[thorny violet]

I thought okenshield was the most mid?

[weak valve]

morrison and north star also have asian stations

like north star brunch has dumplings

😭

[ionic hearth]

Hmmm

[weak valve]

its the only swipes on central campus

its not even bad

ppl just coping

morrisons worse

[ionic hearth]

Where did you obtain this intelligence 😨

[weak valve]

ppl call it okenshits

its not bad tho

idk what ppl r on

[thorny violet]

I see I see, they said something about lunch vs dinner being night and day at some dining halls

[ionic hearth]

ohhh

[weak valve]

oken has good dinner

or at least when i went it was good

lunch is just the same shit

everyday

[ionic hearth]

actually that makes sense

since dinner is when you wouldn’t be on central

so people only go when it sucks

[ionic hearth]

hmmm

[thorny violet]

Jae have you been to risley?

[weak valve]

pizza, chinese fusion (lo mein, fried rice, or beef stir fry or tofu stirfry, a combination of 2 of these 4 everyday)

salad

[weak valve]

yeah

im too picky for it

but its not bad

good desert

and grill/selfmake

[ionic hearth]

ohh

[weak valve]

they have poke sometimes

[ionic hearth]

Are u gonna do Risley 👀

[weak valve]

burgers or nacho

[thorny violet]

Got it, thank you 🫡 I have a huge sweet tooth so this is good info

[weak valve]

i mean all dining has the same basic desserts

the vegan chocolate cake, cookies, coffee/blueberry cake

[thorny violet]

I would like risley

[weak valve]

and ice cream

[ionic hearth]

we r so twinning omg (about sweet tooth)

[ionic hearth]

The most important of course

[thorny violet]

It's pretty bad 😭

[ionic hearth]

Yea 😨 but i love ice cream too much

and like brownies and pastries and stuff

oh dear

im so screwed

[weak valve]

waffles in most dining halls

for all meals

like a waffle station

fyi when i say most im referring to between risley, oken, morrison, and appel/north star

[thorny violet]

What's at the grill/self make? I heard that risley has the most for those with dietary restrictions or are like vegan/vegetarian

[weak valve]

idk anything abt west 😅

[weak valve]

allfood in risley is like

nut free, gluten free

[weak valve]

risley, appel, and morri all have this type of station

appel has two

risleys rotates between the normal like

pho/ramen, poke, bibimbap

[ionic hearth]

Is it like salads n sandwiches

[weak valve]

stir fry

[ionic hearth]

OH

[weak valve]

no

thats different

there is no sandwich station

just salad

[ionic hearth]

that is so much better than i thought

[weak valve]

morrison

is stir fry 90% of days

[ionic hearth]

i could do ramen every day i think

[ionic hearth]

and this

[weak valve]

i hate it

the sauce is so bad

[thorny violet]

I couldn't

[weak valve]

not offereed every day

appel always has a chipotle bowl station

[ionic hearth]

oh

[weak valve]

quite different but similar concept

[ionic hearth]

Everytime you send those pics they look really good

[ionic hearth]

😢

[ionic hearth]

😭 is it like

too sweet

or something

[weak valve]

too salty/savory

and its the same every fucking day

💀

[ionic hearth]

ohhh

[ionic hearth]

yea that would probably do it

[weak valve]

my middle school

had good stir fry

this stir fry is not it

😭

[ionic hearth]

middle school stir fry

[weak valve]

it feels like im devouring oil

and salt

[ionic hearth]

dang

[ionic hearth]

oh 😭

[weak valve]

my public school did not slack on dining!

[ionic hearth]

W

ours does 🔥

actually its not bad im being unfair

[weak valve]

my private school lowkey slacked but it was decent

[ionic hearth]

its lowkey really good for public school standards

[ionic hearth]

W

I think food will become a part of the reason i like this school

[thorny violet]

My school's cafeteria food is so bad that I just went home and ate half the time during fall semester 😭

[ionic belfry]

I’m vegetarian and never go to Risley tbh

Too far from dorms

[weak valve]

risley stir fry is good

[ionic belfry]

Never tried stir fry either

My friends get it at Morrison tho

[haughty crown]

Good evening Corn balls

[weak valve]

ew

[timber inlet]

Wait isn’t there like some senior project for the hotel school where they put together a restaurant or something?

[ionic belfry]

Juniors; establishment yeah

I’m kinda dreading it I have to pay sm money to go my friends this year

[timber inlet]

My brother went this year and he said he didn’t spend that much

[ionic belfry]

Depends on how much u get

Usually like 60 bucks

[timber inlet]

He also said the food was really good

He’s broke so he went cheaper 😊

60 isn’t that bad

[ionic belfry]

It is when you have like 10 to go to lmao

The food is good tho!

We can cook well

[timber inlet]

Oh yea now that’s a lot of money

I probably would only go to 3-4

If I got invited to 10

[ionic belfry]

Valid

Yeah I don’t wanna be mean lmao

[timber inlet]

That’s fair

[thorny violet]

I'm thinking of requesting risley for my dorm/program house so that's why I'm asking

[weak valve]

Its right next to a bus stop

My friend lives there rn

Got forcibly moved for spring after being in a forced triple fall

[timber inlet]

I wish I could’ve gotten out of my forced triple

[weak valve]

She likes it just lonely bc all the friends she made were closer to my dorm

[timber inlet]

That sounds nice

[weak valve]

Yeah cornell makes a point of omitting them

Plus u get priority for housing selection next year

[timber inlet]

Imagine 😭

[timber inlet]

Have you seen my old room?

[thorny violet]

This is most probably a baseless rumor, but I heard that they're taking in a smaller class size for the class of 2028 because of the housing issue?

[prime oxide]

Is that why the Ed round was so brutal?

[thorny violet]

Maybe they were just feeling a little silly 😭

[haughty crown]

Doubt. ED was rough around the board from what I’ve seen. Scary times! 😱

[blazing stone]

Wait guys i thought all interviews were over but i just got an email from a cornell alum to schedule one

Isnt it pretty late for interviews tho?

Im just gonna pray its a sign 💀💀💀 (im coping)

[mild oyster]

cornell is literally non evaluative

like they dont even send in a report

[timber inlet]

Damn

[blazing stone]

Ik but its just cuz they put it as considered in their common data set so it prob wont hurt lol. Idk any alums so it would be nice to learn more abt it

[mild oyster]

cds is old

[blazing stone]

Oh is it?

I couldnt see their most recent cuz they said they were updating it

Ohhh ok yea that makes sense

[ionic hearth]

real 😔

[ionic hearth]

Join eco 🤭

[ionic hearth]

No it was because they wre blinded by ur coolness

and epicness

[ionic hearth]

😭

[thorny violet]

I thought they put "considered" because architecture students got like a special interview and that was actually part of their application?

[uncut wolf]

That means that my acceptance is more valuable >:))))))))))))))))))))

and bigger flex hhehehehehehe

[haughty crown]

Ikr

A weird thing I’ve been looking forward to is the CDS this year from all schools (especially Cornell if they release). I want to see if things changed or not after SCOTUS decision. Regardless of change, the results will be fascinating. Also, since Cornell isn’t up to date on CDS, I’d be really excited to see my little number in there and compare that to my predictions.

[eager acorn]

so I got a financial aid request yesterday for Cornell

[frigid anchor]

so did i

[severe tundra]

me as well

[frigid anchor]

idk if it means anything

lets not speculate

[eager acorn]

they’re requesting a document that I sent through idoc? I sent all of my documents in November to all of my schools so I’m wondering why they haven’t received it.

[severe tundra]

nah finaid is independent of admissions

[severe tundra]

same…

[frigid anchor]

financial aid at cornell doesnt process idoc

i think

on the email they sent to me they needed a document from me uploaded to cornell's fin aid portal not idoc

[eager acorn]

thanks

[frigid anchor]

np america 🇺🇸

[mellow crown]

Anyone here apply ILR?

[frigid anchor]

ik someone who did!

[mellow crown]

What’d you apply for?

[frigid anchor]

i applied to the health care policy major within the school of public policy at cornell!

[mellow crown]

Good luck!

[frigid anchor]

thanks!

[foggy pasture]

y'all i sent an application update through email about 3 days ago and still no response. im terrified?

[weak valve]

It doesn’t mean anything

Unless ur intl the offices r disconnected

And even then prolly doesn’t mean much

[frigid anchor]

why does cornell keep sending me so many financial aid emails

[foggy pasture]

i am international tho?

[frigid anchor]

should i send updates through the portal or by email

[foggy pasture]

can anyone else confirm that this is ok?

[weak valve]

whichever it says

if theres a dropwdown option in the portal for upload of it then do that

[weak valve]

i wasnt talking to u

[foggy pasture]

oh alr

[haughty crown]

I haven’t been getting any financial aid message 😦 I feel left out

All my documents are in and were processed awhile ago lol I’m kidding

[thorny violet]

They do process IDOC?

They processed all my documents through IDOC, maybe it has to do with the type of document or because of the issue with FAFSA

[frigid anchor]

they said they needed my info through a different cornell-specific portal

im confused lol

[thorny violet]

Are your financials complicated? 😭

[frigid anchor]

i dont think so

[thorny violet]

Then I have no clue 😭 all I can think is FAFSA but I'm sure things like this happened before?

[frigid anchor]

don't think this is a huge deal or anything but it's kind of weird

[thorny violet]

Yeah

[ionic hearth]

Means nothing

[winter notch]

I haven’t gotten a single email from Cornell ever

except for “we have received ur application”

[ionic hearth]

i love corn tortillas

[thorny violet]

This was me for the longest time except for the emails they sent everyone, don't worry too much about it

[ashen pilot]

mee

[white tide]

I dont even get the emails they send to everyone

[thorny violet]

Really?? You might want to check your other inboxes like spam because you might actually be getting emails from them

[white tide]

yh nothin

lol

but I did get an interview tbf

[thorny violet]

As long as you have your portal... Don't worry about it, I don't even know if they sent out an email for everyone or something yet, they didn't do that for ED until like 1-2 weeks before decision day

[white tide]

oo alright thx

[true crypt]

🌽 🇱

[thorny violet]

Yeah, these are the only emails I got from them not including financial aid emails, but it was only really 5 emails from the school over the course of the two month and literally 2/5 may be emails that would actually be sent to you since the rest only applied to ED

[mellow crown]

hey!

I’m pretty sure your YouTube link doesn’t work

[ashen pilot]

wait fr? lemme try connecting it again 😭

[mellow crown]

Nah nah I mean the bio part

[severe tundra]

just send it through the portal

y’all… when in doubt upload updates through the portal because it gets directly added to your application

with email updates, you have to rely on a very busy admissions office to add them

[haughty crown]

They don’t respond to updates.

[night raven]

i have received none is it over for me?

[frigid anchor]

no it is not

[loud hull]

is it too late to recieve an interview invitation

[candid atlas]

its not evaluative its fine

[loud hull]

right but im just curious

[weak valve]

its also not too late

personally i got mine ike

feb 28

[loud hull]

damn thats late

do they tend to do as many people as they can or is it random

[weak valve]

ppl prolly get it in march itself too since noneval but idk

based on availability

they give u soemone who lives in ur area

or near ur area

[loud hull]

i mean i live in a big city but im not too worried

[ionic hearth]

Same i didn't get much either

just stuff like this

I wonder when they give out NetID stuff

[shell prairie]

responsibility is overrated

cornell is so real for this

the greatness of cornell

[quiet rock]

Corn school keeps on saying I did the idoc wrong when I haven’t bruh

[eager acorn]

cornells fin aid number is so backed uppppppp

ive been on hold for so long

and the robotic voice speaking to you when u call has the weirdest voice 😂

[eager acorn]

emailing instead

[subtle lotus]

they said that to me and i had to redo it

the fin aid office is fucked

they didn’t give me my fin aid offer until may and i didn’t commit to college until almost june LOL

[weak valve]

cornell is known for

waiting till deadlines like that

iirc they made luck wait till right before commit deadline

like the day before

@weak valve which dining hall can I get 2/5 😍

[outer jolt]

None of them

[eager acorn]

Do you know why they asked me to submit a document for fin aid to them when I submitted it through idoc?

Do they typically do stuff like this?

And I can’t even call bc they’re so backed up

[weak valve]

idk

[weak valve]

?

[weak valve]

i didnt do finaid but i heard the office is crazy but give good money to most

[outer jolt]

Dining hall food isnt good 😭

[weak valve]

theyre talking abt cornell

from a post from the cornell dining insta

💀

[outer jolt]

Oh ok

[subtle lotus]

they didn’t send me my fin aid offer until may 15th 💀

and it was shit

which is why i’m a ucla student

i’m still salty XD

[ionic hearth]

apparently cornell has really good food

[weak valve]

roger williams also has good food

but that mightve just been for summer camp

😅

[weak valve]

They also reassessed everyones aid like a monht into the semsster

[thorny violet]

It's signed right? Like your tax documents are all signed? I had to resend a document because of that

[eager acorn]

did you have to call to figure that out? or email?

[quiet rock]

they told me they did it wrong LMAO

[rocky prism]

it keeps sending me emails about signing idocs but i ignore it cus i thought i already did it

am i cooked

[thorny violet]

On my financial aid portal, it showed the status as "notified" instead of whatever the status they use when it's received so I had to email about it because I sent the document the same time as the rest and it was processed in IDOC, so I looked at the document and the only thing that could have possibly been wrong was that it wasn't signed 😭

[thorny violet]

If it's processed in IDOC, don't worry about it, they're just kind of slow... I mean I don't think they calculated my aid until the very last moment before ED results

[rocky prism]

damn

i mean my results are gonna be in a month for RD soo

[quiet rock]

I'm probably cooked

(I'm not making it)

[thorny violet]

I say this because the update time on my financial aid estimate says something like 5:50pm the day before ED, so unless the office was cooking up more estimates the day of 😭

[rocky prism]

im hoping i get a fin aid offer for cornell

dyson gon be tuff to get into 😭

HI AM

[placid anvil]

hello

[tiny violet]

So Cornell likelies should come out this week

[placid anvil]

sounds reasonable

soph graduating

[ashen pilot]

fr?

[placid anvil]

sheesh

[tiny violet]

if a person named a.m is on the Cornell thread of a2c discord server with a cute tiger pfp says so then I must admit I shall take your words as undeniable fact

[placid anvil]

LMFAO

yeah bro fs

[tiny violet]

well idk my bro said that so trust my bro Ig ?

[ashen pilot]

mine says additional info needed and the due day is 1/01/2099??

i didn’t even get any email from cornell’s financial aid office

That’s a placeholder date

what does that mean 💀

[viscid yarrow]

Seems like you unlocked a century

[frigid anchor]

cornell's financial aid office sucks

[ashen pilot]

😭😭

[viscid yarrow]

I think not, they send me two email at first requested a document then I completed it in a wrong way after that they sent the second one with an explanation about why unacceptable and requested to fix it and send it again

After learning about filling it wrong I was sure that I was done 😶‍🌫️ but seems okay now

[eager acorn]

😭😭

[ionic belfry]

Today was so wholesome

Art museum, botanic gardens, dinner in commons with friends and then boba date tonight

Cornell on top

[tiny violet]

I won’t know the reason behind it but it’s usually done for deadlines that haven’t been chosen yet or if the document can be uploaded whenever.

For instance I was filling out some government forms not uni related ones and they use that 2099 date to say that u can upload it whenever cuz probably the system requires one even if they don’t need it

[ashen pilot]

ohhh alrr

[ionic hearth]

Was it sunny today

[ionic hearth]

RAHH

🌽 🔛 🔝

[ionic belfry]

VERY

Now freezing tho

[ionic hearth]

Yay

[ionic hearth]

😔

i both fantasize and fear the cold weather

i can't wait to get a snow wardrobe

[ionic belfry]

Lmfao

Tbf I’m not gonna wear a coat tn

[ionic hearth]

😭

how cold is it

30?

I hate fast fashion but I love H&M

what does that say about me

[hybrid temple]

They come out in like early March — March 15th

[eager acorn]

Early March? I thought they were all sent the 15th?

[hybrid temple]

I should’ve put a colon to avoid confusion

Not a dash

[timber inlet]

Cornell likelies don’t come out until a couple weeks before decisions

Oh wait

Were they already sent out?

[eager acorn]

ok

but do they start to come out in early March? Dyk if it’s been documented

[modest ermine]

Btw has anyone ever had a likely then got waitlisted/rejected?

[eager acorn]

Idt ivies do that

unless you run someone over

[modest ermine]

Lol ic

But does any college do that?

[light kestrel]

its happened with questbridhe likelies

wellesley

andbthen barnard ? i think

[candid atlas]

questbridge likelies are a little weirder tbh

[hybrid temple]

March 15th is early March to me 😂

[light kestrel]

yeah they are

the wording is super misleading

but the girl got a handwritten note from the ao iirc

and then she got waitlisted

like thats crazy

[candid atlas]

bowdoin sent me a very "likely" sounding message that turned out to be generic

[light kestrel]

ive seen those so much

[candid atlas]

glad i didnt ed right away

[light kestrel]

itsbso shitty how they word it

kinda cruel too

penn did a similar thing when i didnt get finalist

[outer jolt]

i saw it happen for barnard

girl got likely in february

then got waitlisted

when decisions came out

idt ivies do it tho

[candid atlas]

i think ive only seen cornell do it

[outer jolt]

wait fr?

ive never heard of an ivy do it

[eager acorn]

Fr 😭

Wish it was earlier tho

personally I don’t think I’d get one

Because brooks is so small

[modest ermine]

damn that's cruel

[candid atlas]

yeah they waitlisted someone who got a likely in one of those college reaction vids

[mellow crown]

Does Cornell do likelies in every school

[ionic belfry]

From what I know yes

[ionic hearth]

Most people don't get in with likelies

dw guys 🙏

[placid anvil]

really?

that seems counterintuitive

[ionic hearth]

The vast majority of people who get into cornell did not recieve a likely

[placid anvil]

ohh

i thought u meant most ppl w likelies dont get in

[ionic hearth]

oh 😭

sorry

[sand plinth]

yo

i got my interview email rn lol

is it supposed to be this late

[sand plinth]

ofc

that's why it's a likely

[ionic belfry]

It can be funny stress

[sand plinth]

[outer jolt]

she got likelies from harvard columbia and duke

and she got into NU

i think she's doing fine

[velvet oak]

how tf

now that's actually cruel

[outer jolt]

average college decision reactions video tbh lol

[velvet oak]

bro no

i mean 4 likelies??

[outer jolt]

i mean id say the average is like 5+ t20s, 1-2 ivies, and 0-1 likelies

per video

except the ones titled 'realistic'

which mine's prob gonna be like that

[velvet oak]

that's fair

but not 4 goddamn liklelies

[velvet oak]

oh u are making one?

[outer jolt]

possibly, but def not posting it
