@weak valve @ionic belfry hey guys! I want to visit Cornell over my break and I was wondering since I have a few Cornell friends there, is it allowed for me to stay with them overnight for like a day or two?

weak valve
#

As long as its under max room capacity which is one guest per room resident

onyx blade
#

Gotchu gotchu

weak valve
#

We also have guest swipes

#

For guests to eat in dining

#

Each person has 8 with the meal plan

onyx blade
#

Ohhhh

#

Do I have to buy one

weak valve
#

No

#

I said we as in students

#

So ur friends

onyx blade
#

Ohh I see

weak valve
#

They j need to be like w u to let u in dorms n stuff bc technically were not supposed to allow piggybacking

onyx blade
#

Ohhh I see I see

ionic belfry
#

I think they want u to go to Morrison

nimble spoke
#

Man I thought the food at Cornell was gonna be like levels above other colleges and it wasn’t 💀

#

Where’s the sugary soda as well

ionic belfry
#

Depends on the day, place and time

#

U gotta check eatery

weak valve
#

Theyre trying to be healthy lol

plush monolith
#

Also went to North Star to try and find the “Dim Sum buffet” and did not find no dim sum buffet

#

Was just dumplings and egg rolls 💀

tropic copper
#

After today I really hope my financial aid appeal works out

#

I got to talk to the professor I wrote about in my Why Us

#

and a bunch of other cool professors

loud hull
#

but ik morrison is rlly good

weak valve
#

Lemonades not carbonated

#

…

weak valve
#

Tf u expect michelin?

#

😭

loud hull
#

I went to that and they literally had barely any white rice and like 3 egg rolls left

#

and they were still making a new batch of dumplings

tropic copper
weak valve
#

Personally

tropic copper
#

Cornell was almost as good as UMass for food

weak valve
#

I dont like morrison

#

Im too picky

loud hull
#

thats fair

plush monolith
tropic copper

Bc most unis have soda

weak valve
tropic copper
#

Is Morrison the worst?

#

I think that's the one I went to

loud hull
#

i mean tbf i went to north star for lunch but there was so much breakfast food? and all they had was scraps of "dim sum," chicken, rice, and a salad bar

weak valve
loud hull
#

and they ran out of bread 😦

tropic copper
#

I went to the one on north campus

weak valve
#

Morrison is usually better on Wednesdays

plush monolith
#

usually but not necessarily carbonated

weak valve
#

It often has like random to try things like steak or crepes

weak valve
loud hull
#

morrison had this rlly good udon stir fry in the summer

plush monolith
#

they're synonyms

weak valve
#

Stop pinging me

#

Ur annoying

weak valve
#

Or smth diff

plush monolith
loud hull
#

like they have noodles, protein, vegetables and you pick what you want and they put it in a bowl

weak valve
#

Yeah

loud hull
#

then they put it on a grill and cover it in sauce

#

and cook it

weak valve
#

Thats there almost every day

#

I got sick of it

#

Its salty

loud hull
#

its rlly good but ig its repetetive

#

also i went in the summer tbf

weak valve
#

They never have spicy food and it makes me mad

#

Like their gochujang is just

#

Salty

#

Soup

#

😭

loud hull
#

i would just buy and bring hot sauce tbh

weak valve
#

Lmfao

#

Fair

plush monolith
nimble spoke
weak valve
#

Idk what dim sum means

plush monolith
#

maybe that's why cornell isnt #1 best campus food

weak valve
#

To be fair

plush monolith
#

no spicy food is a crime

nimble spoke
#

Search dim sum

tropic copper
#

I had Udon there yesterday and it was super good

loud hull
loud hull
nimble spoke
#

Cornell like ranked super high for campus food

plush monolith
nimble spoke
#

but I didn’t think it was better than Michigan

plush monolith
#

behind umass amherst

loud hull
#

also when i went to morrison they had a soft serve sorbet machine and waffles

#

fire

weak valve
#

They advertise themselves that its #2

weak valve
tropic copper
#

UMass Amherst is maybe slightly better but like both are really good

weak valve
#

And the ice cream

#

And the pizza

loud hull
#

their chia pudding was good too

tropic copper
#

ice cream was overhyped ngl

loud hull
#

the pizza is good but it made me sick one day

weak valve
#

I like the north star bowl

#

Once in a while

loud hull
#

im sad bc i never was able to go to the cornell dairy bar only the ice cream from the dining hall

weak valve
#

North star ramens good

nimble spoke
#

Cornell pizza better than Michigan tho cause bottom got that char fr

weak valve
#

Risley ramen and stir fry better tho

weak valve
#

Depending on dining hall

#

Morrison does i think the more normal one

#

Then north star does sicilian

#

West has better food

#

Than north

#

But i dont like walking

ionic belfry
#

Not the best Cornell dining by far

#

Macs/rpcc/novicks/gimme/west r best imo

weak valve
#

Well

#

I wouldnt count non swipes stuff as true dining

#

Like ik it is but the thing ppl mean when they talk abt the dining is the stuff from the meal plan

ionic hearth
ionic hearth
#

Is there a list

tropic copper
weak valve
ionic belfry
#

I think cals and engineering r rly close

tropic copper
#

You know something funny? CALS is the 2nd biggest college at Cornell but the Cornell 2028 Insta has almost no one from CALS. I think that says a lot about the type of people who get into each college lmao

weak valve
#

which is biggest

#

cas or eng

tropic copper
#

CAS

weak valve
#

our 2027 acc had like

ionic belfry

#

all cals

#

lol

tropic copper
weak valve
#

all cals from westchester

ionic belfry
#

literally the last girl that posted 5min ago is cals

#

Size is probs

prime oxide
#

Maybe they’re trying to counteract

#

The insta is a representative sample so

ionic belfry
#

Cas, cals, engineering, dyson, aap, ilr, hotel, brooks

weak valve
#

bro eng and cals are different by under 100 ppl

#

😭

tropic copper
#

What is brooks?

ionic belfry
weak valve
#

it opened in like 2021

zealous meteor

Dyson and Nolan are still separate colleges

zealous meteor
#

aren’t there only 7 undergrad colleges?

tropic copper
#

Yeah

zealous meteor
#

CAS, AAP, CALS, ILR, Engineering, Human Ecology, and SC Johnson, right?

tropic copper
# ionic belfry Dyson and Nolan are still separate colleges

The Cornell SC Johnson College of Business is comprised of the university's three accredited business schools: the Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration, the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, and the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management.

ionic belfry
#

Im at the business school

#

U don’t need to mansplain my school to me 😭

tropic copper
#

I’m tryna get how this works

zealous meteor
#

that’s the hierarchy lol

tropic copper
#

I see now

ionic belfry
#

Technically they’re 3 separate schools but I didn’t want to confuse u

#

3 different programs is another way of saying it

#

Just how AAP is 3 diff tracks

bc it’s quite hilly and ik it gets super snowy/icy too 😭

shell prairie
weak valve
#

Boots if u want

#

Sneakers have decent enough grip if u dont mind them getting filthy

#

Many ppl have work boots as an option

#

Like docs or smth similar

#

Timbs

ionic belfry
#

Snow boots are too much work for me tbh

weak valve
#

Yeah

#

Ive worn mine once lol

#

Thats bc there was black ice and i was scared

#

I wore my doc knockoffs quite a bit

#

But it was for style

#

Not for

#

Snow

#

💀

#

Tbf maybe rain bc all my sneakers leak its annoying

ask mr jp morgan

#

has anyone ever heard of people not meeting the transfer option

abstract nimbus
#

although general advice is to just fulfill the bare minimum/easiest classes in transfer req if you really want to transfer

#

as sometimes it's harder classes that ruins your GPA, and it's guaranteed transfer as long as you fulfill the class and GPA requirements

pseudo tartan

#

bruh

winter notch
#

Is the transfer option available for CAS or only CALS?

ionic hearth
#

crazy

ionic hearth

#

apparently al the schools offer it but ive never seen anyone gfrom cas get one

deep basalt
#

I’ve seen someone on college confidential get it from cas

#

is the first wave of waitlists may 1st? or earlier?

Probably earlier

#

idk

#

lol

#

but it’d be a reasonable decision

#

you can make an argument for cornell having the strongest general STEM out of any of the schools in that list

#

and the campus mogs

#

until midwinter 8 am class

#

🙂

weak valve
#

that

#

is usually avoidable

haughty crown
#

Anyone off the wl yet?

winter notch
#

Or just the smaller colleges

sick creek
#

wait is nolan a smaller school or am i tripping

winter notch
#

I believe so, it should come out earlier than Engineering and CAS

ofc u never know when it’s not very predictable

OMFG

ionic hearth
sick creek

i always wanna get ice cream but my friends end up bringing me to a boba shop LIKE US ASIANS ALWAYS DO

LIKE PLSSSS

ionic hearth
#

i have this internal ranking of desserts based on how often i should be eating them

ionic hearth
sick creek
sick creek
#

oh shot my cookies

ionic hearth
# sick creek PAHAHA omg share

ice cream is at the top of the list at once per month. boba and cookies are at the once per week. soda is at a once per week (but ngl i've kind of lost an appreciation for it recently). then stuff like crepes or cakes are biweekly

#

dark chocolate is one square per day (as long as its the healthy variety), otherwise one bar biweekly.

#

and if i can convince myself to workout i let myself relax these a tiny bit

ashen pilot
sick creek
#

acc tbh ive been getting too much boba lately like 2 times this past week already 💀

ionic hearth

Hey guys do u know if cornell rescinds for a level grades
Is there like a minimum final grade u have to get
Cuz they literally come out like a week before move in day

weak valve
#

Not below like a B- probably

#

Just like

#

Remain on track of what its typically been

versed dawn
#

which dorms should i apply for

weak valve
#

U just pick like priority of if u want single gender housing (usually only applicable for girls and hard to get regardless) and then u rank if u want single or double or triple

#

Then its randomized

#

U can choose for later years just not as freshmen

versed dawn
#

oh ok thank u

weak valve
#

U can only apply to program houses

#

Which r like

#

Eco house (doubles with bathroom for each double but far walk from campus lowkey)
JAM (music dorm)
HILC (intl living center)
LLC (latino living center)

#

Etc

#

Its usually cultural stuff

#

U can also get randomly placed into a program house tho

#

So 🤷

versed dawn
#

so program houses are like for people wit shared interests and whatnot and u just apply to them but can also get rejected?

weak valve
#

Yeah

#

I think rejection isnt super likely but yeah

#

Also program houses aren’t necessarily better housing

versed dawn
#

😭

weak valve
#

Like theyre the same type of building as the mid/not so good ones ppl dont want

#

I think the only one w clear differences is eco hous

#

But its diffed by the commute

versed dawn
#

damn

#

ig i'd rather live closer to campus

weak valve
#

Ecos like

#

A 5-10 min walk from the bus stop and the northern most dorms on north

#

Its not even in ithaca lol

#

Not too bad if u want a double w a friend but i wanted a single and the walk wouldve killed my motivation to go to class

versed dawn
#

are singles the most desirable type of room

weak valve
#

imo yeah

#

Somr ppl want doubles for the experience tho

versed dawn
#

ok tysm and sorr for asking so many questions but one last hting

#

is "mixed gender floor in a hall" the default option

weak valve
#

Np i like wuestions lol

weak valve
#

Genders arent auper intermixed tho?

#

Like

#

Same floor but each suite is one gender

#

Or like one hallway pn the floor is male and u turn the corner and its female

#

Usually

versed dawn
#

i see

ionic hearth
#

omg

#

how are you guys enjoying admittd students day

#

im really sad i can't go 😔

ionic hearth
#

i want a single so bad

weak valve
#

or

#

.

ionic hearth
#

because of "the experience"

weak valve
#

...

ionic hearth
#

also they think i will have no friends if i don't have a rooomate

weak valve
#

havent u dormed w ppl before

#

at camps

#

um

ionic hearth
#

i have

#

listerally

#

last summer

#

💀

weak valve
#

these arent valid points

#

why cant u argue w them

#

the only valid argument is the cost of the housing

ionic hearth
#

im like

weak valve
#

its not even arguing

#

its saying what u want

#

💀

ionic hearth
#

halfway

#

to just telling them they ran out of doubles

#

so i had to get a single

weak valve
#

u dont even have to lie like that

#

like rank single 1 and double 2 on ur housing and then if u get a double u just cope and if u get a single say its a lottery system (true)

ionic hearth
#

i really should

ionic hearth
#

soft

#

with my parents

#

idk

#

im bad at arguing with them

#

and i always feel really guilty

#

even if it is for stupid stuff

weak valve
#

why do u feel guilty wanting a single room

#

did u even tell themw hy u want it

#

thats not even arguing i used the wrong verb

#

its having a normal conversation

ionic hearth
#

because getting a bad rooomate is really common and everyone who goes there reccomends getting a single

#

and that its easy enough to get a single, and only like 2k more for the whole year

weak valve
#

its

#

not even 2k

#

its like 1k

#

😭

#

but continue

ionic hearth
#

and that being able to be comfortable/safe in a living space is important

#

and they wre like

#

no

#

😭

ionic hearth
#

i think 14k vs 12.5 or something

#

and ever since they said no i've been afarid to push it

#

idk

weak valve
#

oh weve talked abt this before

#

we were like oh they had a good exp so they want u to have it

ionic hearth
#

my mom was a commuter 😭

#

and got her degree in her late 20s after immigrating

#

so she never dormed

weak valve
#

ur suitemates

#

will be ur friends

#

lol

ionic hearth
#

EXACTLY

#

THATS WHAT HAPPEND

#

DURING THE SUMMER

#

ikd

#

oh well

mossy flower
#

u dont get it

#

speaking of which i need a rm

weak valve
#

until u get a dogshit roommate

#

or until ur double gets transformed into a forced triple

ionic hearth
#

in what way

#

other than costing less

#

are they better 😭

ionic hearth
weak valve
#

i mean

#

ig inherently they can have bigger floor space..?

#

but conceptually its split with ur roomie

#

the built in bestie is lowkey a myth

#

for various reasons

ionic belfry
#

It’s lowkey better to just coexist with them sometimes

#

Rather peace than fighting

  1. ur like not even supposed to live with friends because it can damage the development and dynamic bc ur gonna be getting annoyed w little things and not know how to talk it out like deadass a relationship w ur roommate 😭 and no one knows how they'll actually be as a roommate so even if u do questionnaires and pre-meeting get to know each other surveys its still risky af
  2. similar to point 1 but adding to it, diminishing returns from too much time spent w them if theyre in ur room, classes, meal times, and study times
  3. it can be quite difficult to navigate sleeping times and waking times as well as if u need to have meetings and stuff (yes there are study spaces but some people prefer their room)
#

not saying its not possible to get a bestie but its not as common as ppl think

#

most ppl w roommates ik just like

#

ignore each others existence

#

do their own thing

mossy flower
#

rly

#

hmm

weak valve
mossy flower
#

and u can meet new ppl thorugh rm

weak valve
#

all of those can be done with suitemates or pod mates or even others in the dorm u dont have to sleep with them

#

its also usually seen as like an annoyance if ur roommate brings their friends into the room + the roommate who brings the friends is usually like unsure abt bringing them in the first place so theres like a pre existing dynamic

mossy flower
weak valve
#

yeah

mossy flower
#

ah i see

#

and do u reommend those?

#

i hear the newer dorms which i liek r suite pod style

#

and i like that style too

weak valve
#

u cant choose suite or pod

mossy flower
#

i just thought a rm w that style would be better

#

oh u cant?

weak valve
#

u can only choose single double or triple

mossy flower
#

and which one ur in right?

weak valve
#

which is why my mindset is personally try for single n if u dont get it sucks

mossy flower
#

or u can rank i mean

#

oh hmm

#

r u in a single

weak valve
#

but tbh dickson is the dorm w the most singles

#

n some ppl hate it

#

so

#

🤷‍♀️

mossy flower
#

ofmg

weak valve
mossy flower
#

i hate disckson

weak valve
#

in a suite

mossy flower
#

smh

weak valve
#

high rise

mossy flower
#

i lived in a dickson single for like 2 months

#

👎

#

only reaosn why i liked double is cuz i had some fire rms for double at another college

#

tbh it was sutie style and my sutie mates were cooler

weak valve
#

maybe i only liked dckson bc its not my room and its my bfs room 😭

#

yeah ive done sleep away camp like 4 times uhh

#

1st time was best but we were also all like super young so it made sense we got along so well

mossy flower
#

wait so u get to pick how many rm and then u rank ur housing pref for the houses

weak valve
mossy flower
#

so i cant do like if i cant get a sutie single i want a double

weak valve
#

u pick single double or triple

#

and thats it

mossy flower
#

huhh

#

rly?

weak valve
#

u dont pick anything else

#

yeah

mossy flower
#

u cant even rank housing?

weak valve
#

no

mossy flower
#

whattttt

#

wait tahts so devious

weak valve
#

cuz obviously they know everyone wants the good ones

mossy flower
#

😭

#

if i get dickson those nets aint gona be a joke

weak valve
#

so they prioritize roommate count + if u want single gendered vibe

#

bruh

mossy flower
weak valve
#

like

#

single double or triple

#

as ive said like four times in this conversation

#

😭

#

i dont want to have to say it again

mossy flower
#

oh i thought u meant liek if u get a double ur more likely to get a non dickson house

weak valve
#

so i said rm count

weak valve
#

its not a guarantee

#

but it does have the most singles of the freshie dorms

mossy flower
#

hm

burnt trellis
#

if you don't put yourself out there it could be disastrous

#

going into it just assuming that you'll get a bad roommate is a terrible idea

#

and cornell is a place where you won't survive if you don't make connections

weak valve
#

Im j saying its quite easy to make said connections elsewhere

#

Than ur living space

were so wrong

ionic belfry

#

Well

ionic belfry
#

It was obvious that they wouldn’t

lavish marlin
#

They did 180

#

Back where they came from

ionic belfry
#

Not rly

#

Cornell is test optional rn

#

And that was always meant to be temporary

weak valve
#

more of 360

#

180 to covid test opt

#

which changed the way they had to assess admissions

#

and now

#

180 back

#

😅

due to fafsa

plush monolith
#

don't have shit test scores

#

test optional is misleading for most people anyways

wild tendon
#

test scores honestly the thing you have the most control over ngl

plush monolith
#

yeah just get off your ass and study

#

if you have an internet connection and time to go on this discord you can study

Is there a wy to find the average starting salary of a certain major at Cornell?

#

Someone must have that info

#

there must be someone I could call like a career center or something?

ionic belfry
#

Heavily varies on what job u wanna do tho

#

Don’t call the career center asking lmao

mossy flower
ionic hearth
#

scorecard

#
  • some departments have really good info
weak valve
#

most of the bme majors

#

i knew

#

going into first sem

#

have changed majors

#

we were gonna take a pic at the beginning of first sem

tropic copper
#

according to the Cornell Outcomes thingy BME and BioEng have very low median pays

weak valve
#

of all bme majors

#

but then we never did it

tropic copper
#

both have a mean salary of a little more than 70k a year with just a bachelors

#

that's horrible for me

#

Cornell doesn't make sense financially with that salary in mind

weak valve
#

lol fr

#

maybe i dont want to major in bme then

#

..

#

idk if i do major bme tho id proabbly do the m-eng pgroamga

#

if i get rejected internal transfer im dropping premed and fullsending bme

ionic hearth
#

I think bme is ok

#

After u get like a masters it's awesome

#

N the work seems really cool

winter notch
#

a masters after bme looks pretty good actually

winter notch
weak valve
#

Arts and wicences

winter notch
#

oh thats cool are u transferring from engineering?

tropic copper
#

but yeah this just crushed my dreams

#

So my plan of switching to BioEng most likely will not work in order to pay off my debt while still having an interesting career

Wtf

tropic copper
#

yeah

#

Check for yourself

weak valve
#

Nty lol i dont like looking at salary postgrad stats

#

Too subjective

tropic copper
#

how so?

weak valve
#

its alrdy pre categorized by the type of student that attends the university

#

idk

#

just cuz its their path doesnt mean its my path

#

type shit

ionic hearth
ionic hearth
tropic copper
#

But like me personally, if imma go >200k in debt (what it'll come out too with interest), I need a solid af plan to pay it off

ionic hearth
#

i mean fwiw 80k is a great starting salary

#

but if you want a career that will make more money, do hotel school

#

or a dyson minor

#

or even the biometry + stats major and go to finance

#

and the page says it too but your major doesn't really always predict ur career

#

a lot of ppl at cornell have some random major and go into like consulting or something and make a lot of money

tropic copper
#

At least based on my limited knowledge of the field

ionic hearth
#

yeah

#

it doesn't for me either

#

but you have options is what i mean

#

what are ur other college choices / costs?

tropic copper
#

UMass Amherst for 27k/yr

#

still a ton tbh

ionic hearth
tropic copper
#

informatics seems really boring

#

it's just processing tons of data with math and CS

ionic hearth
#

like product design or UX or software

ionic hearth
tropic copper
#

Most of stem experience is bio related

ionic hearth
#

do you want to do bio post grad

#

or is that just what you have exp with

tropic copper
#

but it doesn't look like I can (with fair certainty) obtain a good enough salary in any interetsing bio-related fields without getting a PhD

tropic copper
ionic hearth
#

that's how it be with engineering

#

but that's def fair

tropic copper
#

but that takes ages and I wouldn't be able to pay off my debt with a stipend

tropic copper
ionic hearth
#

but how much more is cornell than umass

tropic copper
#

but still it'll be tough at first even with 80k

#

I could make the same out of UMass prob
