thats what id heard
we be fighting for our lives fr
oh well unfortunately u heard wrong </ 3
they're not insanely bad
i heard harvard is light asf
if ur good at time management ur prob fine but theyre hard
🔥
at cornell ur just
cucked in any form
particularly for dyson and engineering
and bio/chem type
oh no
wait i thought dyson was grade inflation
stopped it
they changed median to B or B+
dang it
bc they were sick of ppl just
well
laxing and getting As
cornell is <7
hoping cornell didnt mean it when they said they were decreasing admissions numbers
so
tf
housing crisis ! (est. 1900s)
2
get more housing cornell 😭
consecutive
they fully built another dorm building (half will be in use for 24-25) and ran out of housing
build another dorm building 😭
bruh
what goes on
dangggg
so its whatever ig
someone needs to donate 4 billion dollars asap!
my best friend got in and now hes counting on me 😭
a prof in like the 1940s said they had to sleep on a bench
imagine working tooth and nail to get into an ivy
and u dont have a dorm
does cornell have +/- grades
3 time slots and more who didnt get housing
varies by class but usually yes
Where did they say that? I would love if that were the case I’m worried about over crowding in CIS (although they’re building a second building opening next spring and hiring a ton of new faculty so hopefully that helps a lot)
are there a lot of students in info sci?
CIS is CS and Info Sci but yes there are a lot of students in both
Overcrowding is more of an issue in Info Sci from what I’m reading. Again this should be resolved tho by the time we get there
oh God i dont want to be in a class where I cant hear the prof from the back even when he is using a mic
they said they were accepting less ED
iirc
which doesnt rlly mean jack abt the real view of the class of 2028 but ppl here love to speculate
they lowkey under enroll the major
for incoming freshmen
bc lots of ppl transfer into it
whether from cs, engineering, communications, data sci, anything rlly
oh that makes sense
cs is just
huge
bc both colleges that have it dont enroll by major
so many ppl can just decide to do cs
on a whim
and its also connected to the two largest colleges
in general
and its just an oversaturated field
i think they might be doing it
what of aem
good
dyson?
yea they are building a crap ton
which is good
yeah like double major
didn't they build like 3 new dorms
but for rn theyre just renovating
that was a while ago
dang
if they did
How far is Cornell to nyc
like RBG and all that
they are maintaining what they have rn
4 hours by bus/car
rbg and hu shih and mcclintock
4-6 hrs
New ones
no
Damn
idk
oh
it was all female this year
isn't balch usually the all female
bad person to ask, i dont think abt clothing like that
theres an urban outfitters in commons
that was probably really nice (although apparently the new buildings aren't built well 😭 )
yeah
u can go to syracuse in an hour and go to a generic mall or a nice downtown
but renovation
its only half open
next year
ppl r gonna live in it while its half under construction still
💀
😭
No I live there
The positive side of having a ton of cs/info Sci majors is that there are a ton more cs/info Sci course offerings that other ivies don’t have
this is true our selection is epic and awesome
quantum cryptography!
thats great.
but info sci vs cs
Wdym? Are you deciding between the two?
like a minor something but i wanted to know what makes them different and whether you can use an info sci degree for any cs job
there are certainly better qualified people than me to answer this question but just from whats on the cornell engineering website cs majors are paid significantly higher than info sci majors. I think the most potent combo (imo) is cs major with orie minor (operation research and information engineering). With AI on the rise being able to do software and data together I think will be very powerful.
that some great insight. are you considering any of them?
anyone here apply for info sci?
It's fairly open
the required courses aren't actually that bad
lie
u have to do
- intro CS (obviously)
- data structure algorithms (very core CS)
- discrete math (basically esential to higher CS)
- computer orgnization (assembly stuff, also pretty essential CS)
- intro to analysis of algorithms (more advanced math stuff for higher div CS electives)
- operating systems (kind of like comp org in that its kind of essential)
other than that u basically have choice
u might have to do some random probability courses
but like
its cs
😭
What's your favorite dining hall rn
Also make sure to take intro to hotel wines as a senior guys
Get drunk during class 😎
-a mod
🥰
wait is this eng or cas
either foreign language + college distribution or the 6 ranaodm lib arts courses
cause cas doesn't need to do chem 😭
i lowkey dont use the dining halls....
i use brbs
😅
foreign language for cas isn't bad do one year of an intro language at 6 x 2 = 12 credits
but the random lib arts requirement is kind of annoying
so far
🔥
on top of the unlimited swipes
huh
wht is this math
😭
and logic 😭
theyre lowkey the same thing
bc u have to go like
intro to intermediate
2 6 unit courses
opt 1 is better
theyre not 6 credits
the fuck
at most 4 but i think languages are 3
4 is like core sciences usually idk abt foreign languages being 4
so opt 2 is like
ew
that means
u can only enroll in
16 other credits
to be maxed out
or like
9 other credits
to be comfortable
true but like do u wanna be maxed out
and that also means
u are spending
18 hours
on a language
per week
outside of the 5 hours
this is what i am hoping for
true
most are not that lucky
that website is bad
make ur own map on spreadsheet or smth
bad is a bad adjective
its like a solid
4/10
i hav an excel its easier
yeah
my excel i listed like
premed reqs, college reqs, major reqs, and possible minors i considered
premed sounds harder with all the reqs
had to still crossref with scheduler to see which sem stuff was offered but it works well
if u r majoring in smth randon
and are premed
and want to double major in bio
math major premed 🔥
thats good
this is all i have to add
to premed requirements
and the top two courses
are premed requirements
lowkey
is cornellw orst ivy for premed
oh
yea probably i can't think of a worse one
maybe princeton
😭
your premed?
oh ok
cornell upenn and pton r p mid for premed
i wouldnt say cornell is the worst
thats heavily subjective
why is upenn bad??
deflation
columbia deflation too?
yea true
indeed
horror stories abt their bio and medical departments
do med school know of grade deflation
soemwhat yeah
cornell removed medians
from transcripts
so they have to like
fully assume now
do most people like or not like this
its good if u do well
bad if u do bad
or rather
its good if the median is high
bad if the median is low
makes sense
context my friends have 4.1s
as premeds or ebngineers
im like flunking out lowkey by premed standards but theyre doing great
so its all what u do with it
cornells not ass
i also know engineers barely making 2.3s or 2.7s tho so dont be too optimistic abt it
😅
damn
how the hell is it so low
is deflation rlly that bad
its not deflation
its just hard classes
😭
tf
engineer avg gpa at corn is like
2.7 for bme
firstyear
3.3 for end i think
Isnt there no deflation, just it seems that way compared to the other ivys
ye
however some classes curve down
at the end
and some classes dont have A+
and some classes have wackass bins
for what is an A
and what is an A+
and what is a B
i say yes bc most medians r B or B+
@dry summit i regret to inform you that cornell only has grade deflation for people named yb
They cant stop me
🔥
Yeah I’m p set on majoring in cs (in engineering). I’ll prob minor in either orie (engineering) or data science (arts and science). I’m open to new paths tho as I go through my freshman and sophomore years
What 💀
Who usually gets priority?
when u get placed in shit housing
u get priority
shit as in forced triples
or quintuples
Got it
Makes sense, it's essentially equity
def do
right of passage
forced triples arent even that bad
theyre rooms that used to be triples
that are now doubles
and they just put the third set of stuff back in
and u live there for a semester
then they move u out
So no likelies anymore?
No
unbelievable ryt?
it could have happened any other year why this one?
Doesn’t impact yall much
Like a week left
the nearer it gets, the more the anxiety for me. i dont know about you guys
because every college wants to be mysterious this year
yeah my friend told me duke comes on ivyday i dont know if thats true
usually around ivy day yeah, every university is trying to compete with the ivy hype atp
but he said on the day not around. thats quite unusual
well its all speculation so
yeah speculation to deal with anxiety
thats the college admissions game
Bud think they Ivy
Duke is more Ivy than half of the ivies
😭
Yet not Ivy
which ivies and back it up with evidence
im not a2c obsessed enough for this
so for sources
trust me bro
probably duke over brown and dartmouth
it does
they confirmed
duke comes out on 3/28
check #1135693199688605747
yeah ngl i forgot dartmouth even existed
people love to trash cornell though lol
ironically its more relevant than dartmouth
honestly i would be happy at cornell
or dartmouth
rn dartmouth sounds like my fav option with cornell close 2nd but i can't Afford it
both in middle of literally nowhere
W
You would love Cornell
bro i love snow
only reason darty over cornell rn is cuz my alumni interviewer at dartmouth was more convincing
i hope i do!!
if i pull an A on ivy day then im def visiting
Wdym pull an A? 😭
idk if they consider school though...two already got in from myy school
Does A stand for acceptance?
ya
i originally put W cuz of win
but i don't want W --> waitlist
actually ngl i would take a waitlist
one ED one athlete
3 to a single ivy from my school is unprecedented
never happened before
i feel like my cornell essays were solid though!! i tried a lot on them
Lmao
Would you take a transfer option?
depends where im coming from
ASU or USNA nah
anywhere else yeah
i would be happy at either USNA or ASU and atp there would really be no benefit to transferring
i applied dyson so my odds r slim
but im also the only person from my school applying dyson
the other guys got in for biomed and CS
i would also take a gap year if offered
Well transfer option you have to take certain classes to transfer
ah yeah at that point i believe i would be happy at whatever school i end up at!!
there's a right path for me and it's ok if cornell isn't on that path
i wouldn't go out of my way to chase prestige
That’s exactly what happened to me lol
Very valid
wherever i end up is where i end up 😄
you're at cornell rn?
or transfer
Glad to see you’re not one of those ppl who will take a gap year and apply again just bc they didn’t get in
nope if they offer it to me sure ill take it
I don’t go to Cornell. My name is a lie 😭
im not reapplying though
I got transfer option but decided to stay at my school
I’m not transferring
oh? how come you had the option
Cornell gives out transfer options
interesting
So guaranteed transfer if you go to another school for a year
huh that's kinda cool
see idk if i would do that...i would lose an entire year of socializing and connections?
especially at the school i would attend for a year settling in and uprooting myself again just to go to cornell
ohh interesting straight from ED?
That’s part of the reason I didn’t transfer
No that was from rd lmao
ah
Sorry I feel like I’m being a little confusing
3 am here lmao
oh jeez
Spring break
You should probably sleep 😭
hi
hi
hi
Aight fav place to use your brbs then?
Personally I gotta go with bus stop bagels
a lot of universities don't because they don't need additional financial docs or they request on portal like uchicago
ah ic ic
thanks smrithi!!!
np
cornell doesnt require idoc from internstionals iirc
💀💀💀💀
Nah Cornell sounds too corny ngl
YALE 😜
Imagine naming yourself Princeton bro
How many pounds of princes do we have
Pounds?
More like tons
u gotta lock in
u got this bro
U GETTING THAT RESEARCH ROLE
YOU MAKING IT OUT TO JP MORGAN
YOU’RE HIM
THEY DONT HAVE NOTHING ON U
now go and make us all proud
362880 days is a lot of days
cant get anymore goofier than "Brown"

you got no chance
Be absolutely brutal pr mresident
but you got a guarantee
Hm
I LOVW BUS STOP BAGELS and its lowkey cheap
Main sink of brbs is rpcc (bc i live right there in highrise)
But i love terrace
Thank you Mr president
not a probem
Now I’ll go get some chocolate chip ice cream
My friends prefer trillium bc its next to bio lecture hall
yessir
Would u like some
But twrrace is so good
bet
R they a cornell prof
This should be a national health campaign
🗣️ 🗣️
🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
He ain’t makin it out of Denver
ong
Cornell got nothing on us
i will get all the electoral votes
Yale for the win
Yes we just need to hold people at gunpoint
I believe that if we offer everyone chocolate chip ice cream
Votes will increase by 1000%
we need to offer douuble amount to the south
those deep red states
can easiyy become bllue
we can all be uniffied by some choco chip ice cream
we can easily have a chocolate chip ice cream monopoly
yes
no more blue and red
just brown
it’s all ice cream
Yale and Harvard gone
Brown reinstated
Yes 🗣️
Fr (I didn’t apply to brown)
Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth is the future
(me neither)
Didn’t apply to them 😭
(only applied to cornell as ivy)
Just Harvard Yale Columbia and Cornell
😭 it’s the most realistic ngl
like the rest are 
for me cornel a huge reach
yea its the easiest i think
Nah u got this trust
hi
i prefer lkettuce
fine
just admit me pls
put in a good word for the AOs
here’s my stash
just need my acceptance
and the deal is done
Yuh
u got this ez af
yall i clicked wait and save cuz it said deliver by 9:45
and now it says deliver by 9:05
😭 what
i wanted to wiat
😭
i should ban for this tbh
yea dw, i had the same thing. i also panicked, until it was fixed
🔥
terrace sounds awesome
i can't wait for ice cream
good evening cornellies
Unless I get into Cornell
I’m gonna assume it’s corny
Cornell needs to be my hero bruh
What if you get rejected
Corniest uni oat?
🌽 L
so corny
corning fr
Bro Cornell said they missing form portal but I didn’t do anything cuz I didn’t see anywhere to do it on portal but did on idoc 💀
Am I cooked
Financial aid is 100% separate from admissions
Cornell said I’m missing my tax form when I literally submitted it
so unless it has to do with admissions, you are fine in terms of getting in
although it is in your best interest to get finaid resoled whenever possible
Yes but I couldn’t find where to upload on portal, so should I just look again or email them?
What is missing?
it might be that u did it and they just haven't processed it
It says parent w2 and parent tax return
Idk how cuz they’re completed 💀
when did you get the email?
Like Feb 9 but not there was some issue so I reloaded like the 17
But the w2 was done early
So idk y it say missing
Feb 21
oh what the heck
that is so early
yea email them
Like a month late😭
I thought I was good but I’ll do that
yeah mine says its missing too but its been uploaded in collegeboard
What u do
I checked the css profile and it said its already been uploaded so not sure
I love Cornell🙈
I could love you for four days 🥰
Spring🌷, summer☀️, autumn 🍂, and winter⛄️
I love Cornell😍
Could be three days as well 🥰
Yesterday, today, tomorrow 🗓
I love Cornell😘
How about two days? 🥰
AM 🌄 and PM 🌃
I love Cornell🥰
1 day is enough
Everyday 🧡❤️💚💙💜💛
credit to the great @burnt grove
warra
😳
!ivyday
Thank you for sunshine
Thank you for rain
Thank you for Cornell acceptance
Thank you for pain
it’s Ivy dayyyy
It’s Ivy dsyyy
It’s really difficult to find those numbers
Idek if it’s possible, but take your deferral as a good thing
hehe deferral land
lol I wear my deferral w pride 💪(I’m delusional)
hehe as you should 💪(you're so cool)
Hard to find but I saw a previously deferred Coe kid who emailed admission say that you apparently have a higher chance of getting in compared to the rest of the regular decision pool
unlike that boston school that starts with a H 😔
fooled me fr
No exact percentage
🤢 screw Harvard ew
They wouldn’t release it
@ionic belfry @weak valve Oh i just have a quick question I submitted a loci a month ago in my application portal under ed correspondence and someone told me I should’ve sent in under supplemental info. Did I send it in the right place? Thanks!
I submitted under optional supplemental materials but now im worried I should have submitted under ED correspondence lmao
Shouldn’t make a difference
U can email to check tho
😭 dang we’re literally opposites LMAO
unless they say it explicitly somewhere I don't think it matters so much
and even then it's not a huge deal and definitely not something that will change your future acceptance
I heart you
!cornell
@spring scroll how many brbs do u have
i just found out we still pay sales tax with brbs
still probably only one of the top three scams at cornell 
#🤖-bot-commands
???
What
I wasnt even
Nvm
I wS doing it for them 💀 tell them bot cmds
rlly it said that in ur get app?
2
buy me food
idk tbh it wasnt on my card 🫡
it was that on the register tho
receipt if they give u it shows
candy bar maybe
the govt is coming to tax my chicken tenders
😭
A one dollar meal
the govt is making u pay for ur tax fraud
Where can i get one of those
Poor countries
?
The existence of chicken tenders is a tax in and of itself
0 longitude 0 latitude
Y r u confused
im a little upset bc i asked for grilled chicken in my sub and they gave me chicken tenders?? like wtf
Oh that happens
how is he supposed to find a store that takes cornell dining dollars
that has a meal for $1
They assume everyone wants fried chickeb
Everyone’s human 😔
the grilled chicken one was great
nO!
i want terrace
This sounds a little passive aggressive
what 😭
😔
idk if you can even get a bottle of water for a dollar
theres like nothing sub-$1
at least it stopped blizzarding
Jae i failed my cs prelim
its almost worth taking an uber to target and buying stuff there probably lol
It’s cus they know this school has hella rich Asian internationals
carrying stuff back sucks
That’s why Collegetown is 80% Asian resturautns that charge 20 minimum for a meal
i might bring my car next year
Im spewing
Jae how did housing go
theyre all owned by one guy
Are you talmbout luna
yuh so i hear
no fr the ubereats like item select is the same for every mf store
even jacks grill
Nah not the Asian places I think
all ghost kitchens i swear
we talked to the lady working jacks grill and she was like
yeah the same company owns all of us
💀
Oops wrong reply
the italian ones
that arent thomspon and bleecker
koko i think is also the guy
🤫🧏
Wait really?
i dont remember
Have yall seen “Ling Ling Garden” 💀💀
I better not walk in there and see no white people working the store
Same
Is ur pfp from link click
Yo fone ling ling
I don’t trust a restaurant called that
In general the registrar has been very reluctant to make any changes to undergrad research credits after the add date. You can file a request, but I wouldn’t be too optimistic. They have been holding a pretty firm line on this from what I understand.
CORNELL ENGINEERING
IS SCAMMING ME.
i dont even want to be here
I havent watched seaosn 2 yet 😭
i fought with my registrar today and bullied them into changing my class into pass fail
I forgot it existed and nrver watched season 2
how likely do u think it is that i change my research from 3 cred to 5 cred
if i petition after i surpass the minimum requirment of hours for 4 cred
and with approval from my PI
aww this is so cute
Depends
What lab r u in rn
I was able to petition 2 into 3 creds
biog
4990
its a bio psych lab the pi is chil
im in engineering tho
so i need engineering registrar approval
this is what my engineering advisor said
Oh yah I was in biomed engineering lab and did biog 4990 too so ur chilling
Their registrar is chill
Unless it's a new person but you should be good
But 3 to 5 is a bigger jump tbf
yeah i plan to petition once i hit 156 hrs
or 160
which is like min required for 4 credits
and b like theres still a month left
and i passed 4 credits
yk
😅
ill petition after spring break or smth idk
What if i just copy n paste this into the secret doc
omg i love secret documents
are they from the government???
u have access to the secret doc silly
Does this mean the CIA will kill me
bro its over
they confirmed it 2000 percent
n leaked it to all 196 countries
when is reg dec?

OMGGG @radiant glacier ANOTHER CORNELLIE
lmfao
I can’t believe it’s actually a week away now
can you believe that?
cornell rejection!
just a week away!
cornell rejection is in a week!
woo-hoo!
i am so happy about this information.
cornell wilding cause they telling me I got withdrawn already but they now send an email saying when theyre going to send it, they forgot to remove me from the mailing list or sm shit
i alr its a rejection letter lol
why did u get withdrawn
oh my god thanks cornell i totally have not been counting down the seconds to ivy day for months
yield protected
wow they told u to apply for financial aid
i did ):
they want to give u money so bad
they clocked me tho my ass needs funding
hahahaha
i also did apply for financial aid and sent me my docs and all
they haven't sent me that section
omfg guys this is my likely letter duh
7 days, 7 hours left
!ivyday
Lab time
YUM 😋
transcript issue which I didnt notice and my guidance counsellor ghosted them after cornell sent an email when she had a week to fix it but idrgaf anymomre
however they did indicate that they recieved my transcript after my counsellor sent it
so ???
Did they send all of you guys that email about decision dates?!
I got so scared I thought they released earlier

i didn’t get
nvm i did
email them
honestly not worth it at this point id rather wait till ivy day and see either a rejection letter or not letter at all for comedic purposes
cornell ghosted me a month ago 😭
lmaoo same
Do they at least let you eat it
Im def gon be rejected i didnt even receive this
NVM cornell is in my spam
Same thing happened to me with the brown email yall check spam folder
I thought they were sending an eaelreject
Pls accept me cornell
I’m going to appreciate this time before I know
When did you get the second one
so many have it in spam somehow
Maybe it’s a sign that they’re not legit…
lol
someone just found the entire cornell applicant list just to send a bogus cornell email 😭
You're fucked
