i don’t think cornell engineering is taking anyone off the waitlist this year
Prob a few
Probably like 1% of CAS people will get off ☠️
Bro said it twice
ye cuz it’s over
where’d u commit
its not vene may 2 yet
also engineering ppl can get conditional acceptances
idr if it was a thing with RD or like waitlist but there r conditionals
and if they turn it down u can get their spot lol
yea but they should def know by now if they are going to need people from the waitlist, so they should’ve already sent the email asking for the additional paragraph
if they were gonna take people off
i doubt they would want to send the paragraph email so late
Well uchicago started taking people off their waitlist 2 weeks after they usually did historically
Maybe Cornell is doing something similar in terms of WL delays
no they shouldnt
although it’s already may 1st soo
colleges continue to take off waitlist into august
may 1st is commit deadline
may 1 11:59
so they should know by tomorrow if anything
That makes sense
yeah but logically shouldn’t they send the paragraph request asap so that people have time to actually write their response
Ye but they are still probably processing their yields and stuff
And this is an odd year with all the delays
they send an email to every engineering waitlist student asking for another short why cornell paragraph
yea
Engineering might be tough ngl
stupid af
ur engineers
😭
thats why
wtf
idk all ik is engineering does do conditional acceptances
i’m waitlisted for cs too 😭 i have no hope anymore
Ayyyy I’m waitlisted for cs CAS
since u have to come in with AB Calc knowledge minimum, sometimes they accept ppl without it and then those ppl have to take it over the summer
theres also a pre-chem course over the summer
that some ppl take idk if thats part of a coniditonal tho
tbh most people that get into cornell engineering would’ve already done ap calc
hs didnt offer it probably
true
Oh that’s true ig
some hses dont offer like algebra
like those ppl wont even be in consideration for cornell coe
but just for context
damn waitlists are a prison
did u choose/commit elsewhere yet
i’m deciding between uc davis and purdue for cs
icic
got no clue what i’m choosing tbh
nah 15th
purdue and uc both extended
i’m chilling
tbh i’ll take cornell waitlist as a W i expected to definitely get rejected
help all the classes i want that are lowkey "elective" are 60 seats
what are the odds..
Same here dawg
Isn’t it a good thing if there’s lesser people or am I trippin
Oh wait that’s the seat count
Epic
yes
but also scary bc i might not get it since im the last to pre enroll
cuz we're the youngest year
ty
Update: Got like 9k more aid I’ll take it baby
Hell yeah
Christopher Nolan School of Oppenheimer here I come 🫡
huge!!
it’s not the end i’m sure! plus transfer is an option (just make sure to do micro)
Where did you see that?
He’s an insider
any predictions for cas waitlist?
In September of 2024
^
Could be this summer but not for a while
what do they gain by withholding that info?
doesnt ever other college already have acceptance rates posted?
like as soon as decisions were released
Idk I haven’t been stalking them
Cornell usually likes to wait until waitlists r over to do stuff like that irrc
Bc offers of the waitlist are still offers of acceptance
Oh I didn’t think those counted
^^
the kids from my school who are declining cornell just had to be from colleges other than cas smh
Thank youuu
aw cmon 😭
lmaoooo
it matters for yield, it’s why they often will ask you to confirm before they send you the official notice, so that they have a near 100% yield on waitlist students
Same tbh
do u know if Cornell is betting for less students this year bc of housing crisis or over enrollment from past years
How many people do you know who got in?
like 40
You know 40 people who got into Cornell and none of them committed?
Yeah that sounds like big time cap
Or he’s on the Stanford channel
Which is selection bias
Cause all those people are going to Stanford
maybe like 5/40 committed
but these ppl got into Harvard stanford etc
How do you know these 40 people?
ohh yup selection bias fr
the ppl who got accepted to more prestigious schools would by a much higher margin decline
but there’s still like loads of ppl who got accepted to cornell that would probably commit
just the circles im in lmfao
Same thing here
Ik way too many people that got in and chose not to go because of fin aid being trash
lol a lotta ppl at my school committed
Are waitlist offers 100% going to start getting sent tomorrow?
prob not
just wait it out youll get notified if ur off wl
speculation aint gon make it speed up
How many people got in and how many committed?
Hi
like 13 or so got in and 9 have committed so far
but others may have gotten in/committed who i just dont know about
Oml how cracked is your school dude?Three people have gotten into Cornell in the past four years from my school (including myself) and all have committed (two applied Ed, one was legacy).
lol my school is avg but the magnet program is cracked
i think weve got a few ppl at every ivy this year except dartmouth
and then multiple at stanford and mit
congrats abt cornell tho
no i got waitlisted lol
unfortunately i am not 1 of the 13 :(
ended up committing elsewhere and im happy but still looking out for updates
but atp unless i miraculously get aid at cornell 80k is too expensive bc fafsa and css gave me 0 aid
Damn. Where you committed?
Georgia tech for cs 🐝
Oh okay you’re chilling lol
Lol I’m nervous af cuz it’ll be first time in the south but also rly excited
GT students come from all over the world tho it’s not like you’ll be around country bumpkins
lmao I’m also going to gt from a liberal North area 😭 (and camping Cornell waitlist rip 💀)
Yooo fellow yellow jacket let’s go 💪
I don't know that but what I do know is that there is a new housing director next year and that might change some things
@whole lagoon since I can't DM you for some reason, I unfortunately only know limited information and only about nolan/dyson
would cornell rescind my acceptance for a rly low B or high C if ive only ever gotten A's 😭 the senioritis in me cant rn
They might warn you
For a C
oh okk but a B is fine?
Should be yeah
Nah dw guys today trust
humec rescinded for Bs
but they always notify u before and ask for explanation
or warn
or smth
🙏
Does CAS send TO offers by any chance?
i sent my loci a while ago but since then have additional updates - is it too late to send them now?
doubt they would look at anything new now
atp i doubt there’s gonna be any waitlist movement anymore
has anyone called in?
i might try and call later just to get a sense of how its going
taking one for the team 🫣
tbf they did say may 2 would be the absolute earliest
im assuming fafsa is the biggest issue
Oh I didn’t realize that they said this
I didn’t think today was the earliest
same i was stressing until i read that
still stressing but perhaps a little less
did they not say this last year?
last year was different cause they sent likely letters for the waitlist
they sent them late April basically asking if students would accept a pull off the waitlist
i dont think they did that this year
Yeah, they didn’t do normal likelies either
get me offff thissss shittttt
Felt
It’s okay I feel the same as u even with CAS cs
Like I’m just a stereotypical Asian dude in cs how would they want me to fit institutional priorities
Does one have to write another supplemental if Cornell chooses to use the waitlist
for engineering yea
Oh ok, do you know what the prompt has been in the past
no clue but someone said it was another why cornell prompt
i think they change it every year tho
so really no way to know
👍
we're cooked aren't we
We may be cooked it’s okay
anyone have got off the waitlist by any chance?
probably just the cherry picking stuff, no big waves yet from what i know
We are NOT cooked trust 🙏
yea but past years they were earlier by like a week
I was just told that this was because they had a kind of agreement with the Ivies that they wouldn't send likelies to kids applying to fields that other ivies have schools for, e.g. dyson vs wharton kids
My AO
im an ambassador for my college so i speak to them sometimes
idk im just saying what they told me 
hi cornellies
Hi
i hope
someone seems to have gotten in for cs
Ong
They always bring up second hand occurrences
Like a friend that got in or a student
yea fr
Hi
? Where
Oh
ur right
Nice I guess it’s over then
we'll js have to wait for the next batch ig, but not expecting much lol
What majors
not sure, but cas and ilr people have been the main ones i've heard abt on the thread
Cals it’s joever
Cas is joever dawg
delulu is the solulu!
in case this helps 🤷♀️
DELULUBIS THE SOLULU RAHHHHHHHH
Wait idk if I’m tripping but cas seems to always get first emails
Like the order seems to go cas, nolan, coe, che then cals + ilr if anyone gets off
i feel like this means that the yield was really high for engineering 😭
but at least there’s some hope
Are there going to be more batches for CAs
i didnt write an loci for coe 😭 am i cooked
there might be a few more in the upcoming weeks
some people have speculated that there are multiple batches in the same day, but someone else said that it's one per day so idrk
the way i be stalking reddit and cc instead of studying for my aps is crazy 💀
If they take no waitlist that’s a rly bad sign for housing 😭
Its joever
Nah
Could just mean yield was good this year
LOL TRUE
does Cornell ever notify u on the weekend for wl or nah
I don’t think so I may be wrong tho
Anyome get off the engineering waitlist yet
nah
we are all cooked
they might be taking a maximum of 4 people off the engineering waitlist
It’s gonna be me trust
and me trust
It’s gonna be both of y’all trust
that’s crazy
I think they did for CAS
I saw some ppl get one on tiktok (w ss)
Whoa where’d you get this
my email
i got a TO
so they sent me info about TO webinar
idk if anyone else got it tho
cornell didnt send me an email for cas its actually over 💀
same :(

dawg me neither
ig i am staying in state!
Same 🥲
5/9
its this thursday
its ok guys 😔
:-(
Is that winter scene real
Prob yeah
welp theres an airport, max of 200-300 feet near campus
Ithaca airport yes there’s a free bus there
Most people fly into Syracuse
irrelevant to what we were discussing but ok
Lmfao just wanted to make sure u knew
flights are crazy expensive
ive tried near every combination 
naughty ass companies raising prices for students
ill be flying from cali
my current best is to fly to syracuse and take a bus
8 hours flight at a decent price
Yeah that’s what everyone does
Connecting flight in Texas, Michigan or North Carolina
And book months in advance
dont know what amma do when i reach syracuse
Everyone flies into syracuse
Ourbus goes from Syracuse airport to cornell
Oh
Idk when my move in is so
I don't have anywhere to just pass time lol
Use insta for best bet
Should I just yolo and let rng decide
Random worst case scenario
Waitlist ! !
Trust
ARGHH
hi
Hi
hi
hi cornellies
ya its a nice airport
actually
um does pre enrollment for cornell start NEXT WEEK for first years??? im so confused
like how would i possibly know what classes i want to take
i haven't even met my academic advisor yet lol
and if that's pre enrollment then when's regular enrollment
nah
pre enroll is like july 22 or sm
^
its j called pre enroll when uenroll in ur classes before the sem
help can you like remind me when preenrollmebt is
cuz catch me forgetting
may 7
7L:30am
ill sleep in dickson and remind u trust
on ur floor
THATS for us bae
lol ok thanks
OHHH
i was confused tho bc there's also UG seniors
but makes sense thanks
ok thanks
Um
Ug sophomores are co2027
Ug freshmen is probably like sophomores repeating
Or who left and come back
Yeah
It means rising
The co2026 is pre enrolling earlier yhan us
Itd be insane to make two full years of students enroll on the same day
It could also mean ppl who came a semester later or smth
is COE the only school that’s hasn’t rolled out decisions yet?
And cals
CALS as well
but yea COE is cooked
did all of yall coe wlers apply cs first major
prob a ton lmao
Admissions?
Has there been movement for Dyson?
yes
tjhey purge after we end firstyear
go to day hall and ask
and itll have ur notes
im gonna go this week
dang 😳
i thought cornell didn't let u see ur notes 😭
this is what my friend said
works in admissions
kind of
got accepted for job in ilr next cycle
😎
interesting
Are they accepting anyone off the wl?
Wait rly?
yeah
no way they actually get rid of them
we have to try to see this
watch them be like "ehhhh if a spot opens up maybe" in the notes 💀
I saw people get off for cas
i know but that's such a weird time
why
i cant
i have class at 3
How many
Would've been Friday
Not today definitely
theyre open 9-1 2-4
😭
i could always do wednesday
isnt that slope day
hto
probably
i applied chemical
but yeah they havent even gone to waitlist and idk why
at first i thought it was fafsa but the other schools are rolling out so idk
i think it’s cuz yield was high
so they prob waiting to see if anyone backs out for a different school that has a may 15 deadline
Could’ve been Friday and they are just posting today
if I got a 5 on ap chemistry last year but don't remember anything do yall think its stupid to just take the actual chem classes next year
No take the classes
i was debating b/w that and trynna self study over the summer but ive never done that for an ap test so idk
maybe the info will come back to me easier but then again corn chem classes might be diff
what major r u
chemeng prolly
r u sure u dont remember anything
uhh
enrollment wise, ppl who got 5s on ap chem usually enroll into honors
idk if they remembered stuff or not
u could take chem 2090 if ur quirky its not too hard if ur good at chem its just fastpaced
idk i looked at the stuff my friendws were doing this yr and ion know what it was
like
ice charts and redox
😭
theres lowkey a decent curve in 2090 too bc its full of engineers who dont give a shit abt chem
so if u want to it cant hurt
ok thank you!
i will try to study chem so i can not fall behind in the honors one
i vaguely remember ice charts but not all the equations
Isn’t all this yield talk purely speculative?
ye ofc
ye
everything ab wls is speculative
but what other reason could there be tbh
the whole process is foggy
fax
esp for an ivy league
where did u commit?
which other ivy
damn bruh
upenn
unlucky
i’m cooked
r u in cali?
yea
makes sense
r u leaning davis then
dude the main issue w purdue is its in the middle of nowhere 💀
rly g cs program tho
i’m lowkey leaning purdue, i loved the campus
location and weather are the only downsides, but the cs program is top tier too
ye
i’m still weighing the options tho which is why i haven’t committed
thats the only real problem everything else is solid
where did u commit?
what major
ece
that’s hella good congrats!
and the student population bro 💀
thx
im in state so
ut is like where everyone goes p much
unless they get an ivy
or stan mit
still an amazing program lmao
wuts wrong w that
a school of engineers and cs students, the average shower per capita is sub zero
damn
💀
lowkey true
but my hs is like that too
so i’m used to it
r u bay lol
truu
bro ithaca
would b fire lowk
the vibe and campus is j perfect
for me at least
i applied cs
ye bruh
absolutely cooked
wtvr
cas or coe?
i didnt even k they had cs in cas
idk
it’s hella unclear
all worked out in the end lol
ye idk
ppl hv gotten off cornell wl in other colleges right
like ILR
yea only cals and coe haven’t sent out anything yet
i glazed so hard in my loci they better take me
i had some decent updates
nothing special tho
hopefully it’s enough
realistically they aren’t even reading the loci lol
ye idk how they even select
if they go to wl in the first place
its 75% luck imo
yea fs
it all depends on who denies their offer
cuz they want fit at this point
nothing else
fr
rejects
who is rejecting cornell cs tho
but maybe not
cornell is top 3 ivy league cs too
ye but cornell is slept on
depends
imo
i feel like once ur in the situation
where u can make those type of decisions
its uncertain which college u pick
ye i hv lol
we got good options so no point in stressing
i j check here
i’m done
to c if smn gets in
i prob should do that too
i mean many ppl do
for cs?
idk seems like only reason would be if they got better aid and brown and cornell wasn’t willing to match
nah at that level it’s abt fit
or they just absolutely hate cornell and love brown
Yk if it helps this guy I knew last year got off coe waitlist in June last year
cas is lower acceptance rate so idk
cuz more variety so more applicants
Let’s get dis shieeeeet
day 2 of seeing other people get off the waitlist but not thyself
Anyone from COE got off waitlist?
Pray!
Anyone got off?
a couple of people received their acceptance emails for cas
and i think for coe they sent out the emails regarding the paragraph abt intended majors to come people
Yo I swear I confirmed it a few weeks ago but I just checked and I guess I can’t get any credit for APES right
I’m in Nolan if that matters
Time to call and beg for transfer option 🗣️‼️‼️
also does anyone know if cas admits people off the waitlist by major/applicant profile?
i heard that most schools do this to make sure their student body is still like well balanced, but then some people said that cas does not care about major when it comes to waitlist lol
Not by major but I think it’s by institutional needs
so I guess applicant profile
Me af
Correct
For what? No movement?
ur in cas as well right?
did u get any offers/emails?
I only see people on college confidential getting any
Anyone hear anything about Dyson yet?
Nope
i think its both
Maybe it means that the first wave was smaller
I think people may have asked for extended deposit deadlines because of financial aid and all that
where did ppl post ab this?
oops nevermind i misunderstood what they were talking about on college confidential
but i heard someone contacted the admissions office last week and according to them wl offers should come out sometime this week if they decide to use it
bet
really?
im cs and i havent gotten an email regarding the prompt yet
i misunderstood the stuff people were saying on college confidential
Wait is pre enroll tmrw for freshman
No
Oh ok thanks got worried
Anyone heard any wl news recently?
any college of engineering email?
few people got off officially yesterday, a wave is expected to send out interest emails this friday
Friday? How do you know
Waiting for more cas movement
Thats the typical wave cycle for them, but it could just be speculative
Apparently it’s moving for cals on college confidential oopsies might be joever
Fire
Any COE yet?
they confirmed?
I asked about yield and they said they are still taking people off the waitlist
Historically it is Friday I believe
Wait who do u call I’m contemplating calling cals
meow meow
Search up “Cornell cas admissions contact”
he means CALS^
what bout COE bc werent they going to send out an optional essay
MAYBE they aren’t taking anyone off the waitlist this year cuz they’re full or smth
oh bruh
damn fr?
did smn call the office
wait can someone confirm
damn bruh sorry to all the COE people
bruh i said maybe 💀 how am i supposed to know
thought you meant my bad ngl
i was j sayin that’s a plausible reason
oop my bad
bro 💀
i lowk caused some panicking here
Damn
😔
waitlist hell continues
stay strong my valiant soldierse
and ensure u have a good backup plan
COE yield is def really really high this year
i dont think anyone is getting off
so ima just unfollow this megathread now
peace
RIP bro, fly high 🙏
bro jsut keeps calling fr
What makes you think that?
cuz no one from COE has gotten off the waitlist yet whereas other schools have
Not every school has, most haven’t
could be that they are waiting for the 15th too
lmfao this is my second time and I’m boutta call again soon 
I’m annoying as heeelllll
omg fellow cornell coe waitlist warriors
hmm i dunno i know a few people turning down Cornell Coe for like Harvard n Stanford
overadmitting is a thing 🤷♀️
do y think they’re gonna send an interest email for cas tomorrow cuz it’s usually sent on fridays?
declined my spot in cas two weeks ago, gl waitlist warriors 
@ionic hearth wallahi im cooked
ur going to berkeley 😭 you're not cooked
and people who have gone through it say that its defacto guaranteed
although u are right in that its technicallly not 100%
oh
mf theyre scaring us
istg
i saw that it wasn't guaranteed for this year tho
some people didn't get it apparently
did they meet all requirements
i called cornell engineering tdy and they said they havent gone to waitlist yet
so its still the usual answer
cooked
ive read somewhere it's like a 95% chance if you just maintain at least a 3.5
o shit
ig im fine then
thats a possibility true
plus its cheaper
but cornell has always been my dream 😭
Totally valid I just meant enjoy freshman year
Get good grades and have fun with ec’s but also enjoy ur year
o yeah fs
Gl today 🫡🫡
are you sure they drop today?
maybe they're done with all the waves D:
nvm someone on cc got an email from ilr so maybe some schools are still reaching out
who knows maybe a lot of people are choosing to not talk abt it online
Crazy that no one in this server seemed to get off the waitlist yet
Ggs
did anyone else on the CAS waitlist receive an email about "Cornell Waitlist Activity – Confirm Continued Interest in Arts and Sciences"
rip
rlly?
does cornell hand out a lot of TO's to waitlisted students?
congrats bro
I think the waitlist is moving slowly because of financial stuff. Let’s try not to worry.
only for select colleges
the land grant ones
especially
r u on the coe wl?
Iirc she’s on the Nolan WL
yes
is this something everyone gets?
nope ur in congrats!!
i think che waitlist shouldve come out by now
cuz we had our TO webinar for che yesterday
and it wouldn't make sense for them to add people from wl to TO after the webinar
o nice
ye i j k that historically some colleges like coe dont give out tos
Prob got in
It says they haven’t started re-reviewing applications though
well usually it's a positive sign, i feel like they're js making sure that kids are 99% sure of accepting the offer of given so that they don't have to waste their time considering the kid if they say they're not interested
Protects their yield, you got in
Wait historically they hand out a lot of TOs in June tho (not sure if just for cals tho)
Rip
guys stay delulu pls it is the solulu
@weak valve BRO MY BROTHER GOT A MIC ON STAGE TOO? 😭
He keeps sending me vids of slope day
Are u sure?
lmaoo
next yr
thatll be me
unless i sell my ticket for $400
Does coe do TOs
oh wow, thank you!
more than likely if you say on that form that you will 100% go if admitted, then you will get in on monday or tuesday
that is what happened to me last year
O idk then but I'm che
some wl people get straight up admitted others get the TO option it really depends
is this like a last second ED thing?
You can get off waitlist with the transfer option?
Its what they send before a WL offer, guarantees yield
They typically send that on friday, followed by an offer on monday if interest is expressed
Yeah
do they do that for cas or naw
like the email says, its not confirmed that you got in. just a reminder that we dont allow portal astrology in this server so unless you get a proper offer of admission, lets not jump to conclusions thanks :)
I hope I get an email like that soon 😔
fr
Really? wtf 😭
Unsure
Wdym
Any news from coe?
nope
😨

Any movement for Nolan or Dyson?
Nothing for Dyson as far as I'm aware
did che waitlist already come out?
Reminder that waitlists can continue to take ppl into june
Hi
u prob j have to email them if there’s not a button on the portal or smth
🫡🫡🫡
Thank u
Real 🫡🫡
emailed cornell today! good luck everyone on the wl 🙏🏻🙏🏻
holy I got off the waitlist
when did you submit your loci?
I submitted it on 4/28
What major r u/r u thinking abt commuting
my intended major was statistical science in CAS
tbh i havent thought too much abt commuting
in the email they said that my accepted status will show on my application portal on 5/16 and they gave 5 business days after 5/16 to commit
where are you committed now
i havent committed anywhere yet 😭
Makes sense
Cause 5/15 is normal deadline to commit this year right
yep
Are you planning to commit Cornell?
yep
Yayy! Can’t wait to see you on campus.
that’s awesome bro congrats!!
hopefully they take people off of dyson 🤞🏽
Are you on Dyson WL?
yes
Hypothetically if I got off the cornel waitlist
Would it be worth over gt both for cs and full price
depends if you would have to take out loans or not
Biased thread but I would say yes
But only if not an unfair burden financially
My parents can afford but it’s a significant price diff
Cornell and gt have similar undergrad enrollment size so I was wondering what advantage there is to cornell
When both programs are basically equal
Idk much abt gt
But cs advantages here r obv ivy name and network, and project teams r a big one
I think @finite lava is cs
nope but im close enough
ECE
but most alumni ive talked to, which is close to 50 have said that they struggle out of cs/ engineering and get like ~3.0 gpa and still do fine due to the alumni network and name
network is rly strong prob way better than gt despite gt having a higher population
Yuh
And idk if they have project teams
Plus weather ig and social scene
What’s the difference between project teams at Cornell and clubs/teams at other schools
Cuz tbh it seems mostly the same to me
@finite lava
Just to give an example, I saw cornell cup robotics as one of the project teams
But it seems like the same thing as robojackets at tech
DANG
thats really good
isn't 3 like the average gpa though 😭
so they are still doing pretty good
this is comforting 🙏 thank you
the only issue with low gpa is not getting grad school
im starting to give up on grad school dream 😔 too much money
anyhow i suppose cornell reputation is good enough to get employment out of bachelors
hopefully in the field i want 🙏
while the club in itself might seem similar, the main difference is that there more selectivity in project teams
thus there are less people on a project team and u need to do more work for ur project team
but as a result u learn more
if u get on the team after application
also project teams can serve as credits
u can get 3 credits for project team
or around there
And if i remember georgia tech's core requirements are horrendous compared to cornell
if u are in college of engineering
ofc
any coe waitlists
Gt has many different competition types for theirs tho
Each a pretty small tight knit team
So I’ll agree to disagree for the project team advantages
How so?
Also I’m in college of computing
na
Welp
lowkey nice since i get a headstart on my main classes
Yeah
but thats a small thing
In terms of stem requirements are they mostly the same
u guys have a little bit more math
but the rest is pretty similar
idk i chose cornell despite being accepted to gt, cmu, and columbia, which are decently good at engineering
Dang ur cracked
What’s ur specific major?
Oh wait compe
Isn’t cmu compe the best out of the 4 tho?
i prioritize social scene
and network
more
😨
its ok im gonna live in fairy dreamland where GPA doesn't matter
3.3 is a B+ tbf
Just be better than median
🔥
Me when the median takes into account the ppl being fed the final exam answer key from their frat
😋
1920?
What did the prof end up doing
WTF
THATS SO BAD
THATS HORRID
I dont think its people going to the bathroom this time
HOW IS NOTHING BEING DONE
