Cornell University (2024-2025)

[unique musk]

one is why major 2nd one is basically why school

[foggy tree]

I literally decided to apply there yesterday and finished the app in one day you'll be fine lol

[unique musk]

but yea after i finish i will sleep for 15hrs and then binge anime for 15hrs

[foggy tree]

I'm actually crazy I applied to 4 colleges in two days

[empty coral]

rn im submitting minnesota and maryland which each took like 2 hours each to write and finish

[foggy tree]

All last minute decisions

Georgia tech, uiuc, purdue, ut austin

And technically grinnell and colby too because we love unis with no app fee or supps

[digital nymph]

ME FR

[empty coral]

i might apply there then because i've been wanting one more good state school for

[unique musk]

no supps 🗣️ 🔥

i did osu no supps

[digital nymph]

mecore

[empty coral]

it would be really funny if i went to uiuc though because my mom transferred from there to cornell

[unique musk]

bro the flex

[foggy tree]

lol uiuc is a great school though, you should apply

[unique musk]

get ur legacy ahh out of here

[empty coral]

i am fs

[empty coral]

dont worry, my stats are so ass it wont matter

[digital nymph]

i read osu like the game

[unique musk]

lmao

its cold af there tho

actually imma hop in productivity vc

see if it make me even more productive

[empty coral]

imagine if colleges did anti legacy and debuffed kids of people who transferred out

[unique musk]

lmaoo

[empty coral]

then im screwed

[empty coral]

what is that

[digital nymph]

chat it might be wraps

[rocky dagger]

everyone will get in trust

[empty coral]

100% acceptance rate

[unique musk]

ill see yall at orientation 💪

[rocky dagger]

already here 💪 (physics prelim today yay)

[empty coral]

im an atheist but it would be an act of god if i got in

my win condition is that they really need a strong english male and decide to choose a legacy with a perfect sat english inspite of mid grades

(im applying as a guy bc my documents havent been changed with transitioning yet)

[digital nymph]

i realpy wish but idk chat

i wanted to rewrite my caps but spent too much time on supps so now we got a mid caps ☹️

[empty coral]

decision day is gonna be crazy

[empty coral]

i have the opposite 😔

[digital nymph]

im gettibg cake for decisions

if i get in it’s to celebrate

if not it’s consolation

win-win

[foggy tree]

honestly good idea lol

[empty coral]

anyways time to submit minnesota and maryland

[digital nymph]

no bc my supps…. arent allat either…..

[rocky dagger]

ice cream is included in the infinite meal plan here

[digital nymph]

GL!!!

[rocky dagger]

so you can get free ice cream a lot once you get on campus

[digital nymph]

yes

[rocky dagger]

great after you fail a prelim

[empty coral]

it's crazy that this is even a question

[foggy tree]

udub has us copy paste the personal essay for some reason

Exact same essay

But just copy pasted

[unique musk]

i still have to ea vt

[foggy tree]

It's so stupid

[unique musk]

thank goodness for nov 15th

[empty coral]

i hate when colleges do shit like that its so confusing

[digital nymph]

it feels like a gotcha

[unique musk]

does cornell need me to send anything

[empty coral]

for pitt they have a field for your essay but they also say you dont have to put it there if it's in the common app

so confusing

[empty coral]

besides transcripts, letters, and common app i dont think so, unless you're architecture or smth

[unique musk]

so no sat or whatnot

its self-reported? i cant remember

[empty coral]

yes

you only have to send if enrolling

boom

also maryland the goat

[unique musk]

fee waiver is peak

[tardy trench]

How do I use it?

I have it checked in the common app

but apparently my counselor has to sign it or whtv

[empty coral]

for what college?

[tardy trench]

for basically all of them since I qualify but if it's easier, cornell

Will I not be charged when I send the application

[empty coral]

im at 450 words but feel so scatterbrained and lost rn

[unique musk]

IM DONEEEE

[rugged walrus]

is it 500 words

[empty coral]

650

[rugged walrus]

oh thats so tragic

i believe in you

[tardy trench]

I forgot to use cb to send test scores

they'll send in 10-12 business days, but will that be too late

I already self reported my scores

[unique musk]

i dont think cornell needs official

[empty coral]

cornell allows self report

[foggy tree]

For one of the purdue honors supps I wrote like 360 words for a 500 word essay and then I said "aight I give up" and submitted it lol

[empty coral]

IM FREE IT'S DONE

i still need to do a lot of editing tomorrow but im done with my draft

[hazy herald]

like after u got in

[unique musk]

oh maybe then

[hazy herald]

dont lie about ur scores if thats what ur thinking

[unique musk]

no no no i was just guessing

[lusty onyx]

yo

does anyone have access to their checklist

if so

could you please send a ss here?

thanks.]

[empty coral]

im freeee

[tardy trench]

What does an additional information section look like? Like for ex. explaining an extenuating circumstance

That can be written more briefly and less college-essay like right

[unique musk]

type shi 🗣️ 🔥

[wind wagon]

please accept me. i want you so bad.
i joined a2c again just for you.

[tardy trench]

Do I need to do anything on cornell website to send app or can i js send via commonapp

[empty coral]

idk what to feel

i’m done with this application process

easily over 8 hours on that essay

i shouldnt care that much because my odds of getting in are so low but it’s still weighing on me

[hasty anvil]

Yeah I get that

I feel the same way with MIT

[tawny oxide]

don't ever put faith in getting into mit

it is the worst fate known to man

they will reject you solely because you want it so bad

[hasty anvil]

Dw I'm not

I've already written all my RD essays

Which tbf, I probably won't get into any of them either lol

[hexed peak]

good luck to everyone who's EDing! hope to see you on campus next year :)

[digital nymph]

im debating ed

so hard

my odds feel terrible either way

[unique musk]

U have 10 min to decide

[digital nymph]

im cst

wait

is it not due in an hour for cst

yeah

[empty coral]

🙏

[empty coral]

have you visited campus

[unique musk]

I have

[empty coral]

and do you have any schools on your radar right now that you know you would prefer to cornell

[unique musk]

ngl it was kinda depressing

[empty coral]

nah i loved it

ithaca is my kind of place

my mom was also showing me around a lot

i get how it could be depressing for a lot of people though

[unique musk]

Maybe we just went on a bad day

The view was amazing though

[empty coral]

i went and it was pouring rain and still liked it

now that i think about it there has been bad weather for most of my college visits

[unique musk]

All of mine were either super hot or super cold

[empty coral]

can one of you current cornellians make a summoning circle for me /j

[digital nymph]

no

i love cornell…it was less about the binding and more about my actual chances lol my writing sucks

we did it guys we got an ed app in :)

[empty coral]

yayyyy

if any of us get in together we need to meet up

[cerulean shoal]

ngl

ithaca has not lived up to the depressing standard

for me at least

it's been unusually sunny and warm

its very pretty when overcast too has that classical new england fall vibe

[valid dagger]

i visited ithaca (for ithaca college) in july and it was beautiful, went back in february to interview for ic and visit cornell and it was so cold and depressing lol

but at the same time most of the northeast is depressing in february

[tulip cove]

do yall know when the admission office starts looking at our ED applications?

is it as early as Nov 2? or is it like after Nov 27 (supplement info deadline)

just curious

[restive canopy]

probably as early as they can, I don't know though. Nov 27 is defo late considering decisions come out mid dec

did you submit a css profile?

[tulip cove]

What is css?

Is this for certain schools at Cornell?

Cuz I applied info sci at CALS

[restive canopy]

Just a profile to maximize financial aid

[restive canopy]

No no it's not required

[restive canopy]

Oh sick, I applied to comp sci in eng 😭

[tulip cove]

Oh I don’t need aid

As an international if I apply for aid I’m def not getting in lol

[restive canopy]

fair haha

[timid cave]

Good luck to the people who ED’d!

[restive canopy]

sending a css profile lowers my chances of admission right?

[hasty anvil]

What...

Oh for internationals I'm not sure

I mean you don't really have a choice if you can't pay otherwise

But yes they are need-aware

[cerulean shoal]

why would it

?

i guess they are need aware for intl but like

if you don't submit it its not like you'd be able to pay for it anyways

so you should 100% always submit it

[empty coral]

im pretty well off but i still submitted it

[lusty onyx]

No bro

If you can’t afford a university what other choice do you have lol

[restive canopy]

But if they take it into consideration and i get rejected my plan B of looking for external scholarships won't work

That's why I'm worrying

thanks guys btw for the feedback ❤️

But you guys know what I mean right?

[restive canopy]

Just want your opinions on this

@cerulean shoal @hasty anvil @lusty onyx

[bronze egret]

Wdym

[restive canopy]

So basically, cornell is need-aware correct? Which means that if I get rejected due to my need for fin aid, I can't apply for scholarships from private organizations. On the other hand if I don't apply for fin aid, and my chances of getting in are higher, I can apply for scholarships from private organizations.
(I still can apply for scholarships from private orgs either way, just my dream of getting into cornell is over.)

[bronze egret]

Sorta

What private organizations r we referring to

Bc barely any give full rides anyways

[restive canopy]

That's true

[bronze egret]

Need aware doesn’t dramatically lower your chance at admissions

[restive canopy]

I'll probably just submit a css

[restive canopy]

Some in my country give full rides to students who get into good colleges

[bronze egret]

Dope

Def apply to those

[restive canopy]

Will do

Thank you 🫶

[empty coral]

got my portal 🔥

all green check marks

[uncut sundial]

Good luck to everyone that EDed

I have a lot of friends who got in ED, they really love this place and it shows :)

[digital nymph]

awww thanks 💕

[empty coral]

thank you :)

[raw void]

are the chances getting into this school much higher for ED?

[bronze egret]

Deadline passed bae

[raw void]

I know 😭just asking

it's whatever

[bronze egret]

Ohh lmao

Ed is never a massive benefit

[empty coral]

unless you're northeastern

[unique musk]

Just curious does Cornell do interviews?

[mortal sable]

Yeah but idt they’re evaluative

[unique musk]

cuz I don't remember seeing anything on the common app

[mortal sable]

Iirc current students do them but I’m not sure

[unique musk]

I'll check Google first

[hushed imp]

\

``

[bronze egret]

No

It’s alum

[mortal sable]

Ohh ok mb

[lusty onyx]

yo does anyone see a test scores section on the checklist?

[tulip cove]

i dont even know if the chances ARE higher

but whatev, it doesnt hurt to submit early to my dream school

[empty coral]

im legacy so early probably helps me

[gray rover]

Is it bad that I included three additional LORs for ED? ppl have been telling me it might be a disadvantage but idk if I'm just overthinking 💀

[tulip cove]

so you have 6 in total? including ur counselor and two teachers

thats a lot

[balmy juniper]

I did too

I asked on reddit everyone said im fine

you should be too

unless they all say the exact same shit from the same background

Lowkey shitty from cornells side to let you submit 7 total recommendations if it's not preferred by them

[gray rover]

yeah 💀 hopefully it’s aight though

[bronze egret]

It should be

Def a little overkill

But won’t hurt u

[balmy juniper]

I submitted 1 from my research advisor, 1 from my supervisor at my barista training, and 1 from a professor i've worked with for a long time

I'm hoping they all provide different aspects of my character

because theyre all diff backgrounds

[severe timber]

3 additional lors actually is kinda crazy i didnt even know that was possible

for the record i only had the two required ones

[balmy juniper]

• 2 from my teachers

PLUS 1 from the counsellor

they gon have to read 6 different statements 😭

Imagine they already done finna read my application by now

[severe timber]

i mean i think it could hurt in the way that it detracts time from the other parts of your application having to read so many letters if they aren't all super genuine and outstanding from eachother

[balmy juniper]

They allow upto 7 total recommendations

I'm HOPING they are allocating time to each applicant with the expecations that there could be someone submitting all 7

[gray rover]

do you think I should email cornell admissions then to not consider one of my lors

[balmy juniper]

Pointless

That might make them think you saw one of your LORs

[gray rover]

I have one from a t10 prof I researched under, one is from a ceo of a company I interned at, and one is from the president of a npo I partnered with

[gray rover]

alr

yea ur right

[balmy juniper]

You can't jus say

" Yo just red 2 of em":

[gray rover]

😭

[balmy juniper]

😭

[gray rover]

fuck bruh if this harms me

im gonna be so mad

[balmy juniper]

Nah i think we're fine

If the rest of your applications good

[tulip cove]

Do you have an SAT

Or are they test blind as well

[lusty onyx]

they're test optional

and im going test optional

[tulip cove]

Oh not test blind ?

[lusty onyx]

nope

[balmy juniper]

chat 38 days

to go

[restive canopy]

They're actually test-blind for CALS lol

I don't have much hope,

• I'm applying for engineering with no ACT or SAT
• I'm International
• I need aid

😭

[cerulean shoal]

🙏

its ok, trust in the process

[restive canopy]

❤️❤️❤️

[tulip cove]

yes ik, i was asking for his eng school.

if CALS wasnt test blind I would be applying human ecology or ILR

[balmy juniper]

can i request a CAAAN session?

[bronze egret]

On the common app he’s

Yes

They don’t affect admissions tho

[tawny oxide]

I could’ve sworn I just said something in here

@inland thunder did you delete my message lol

[inland thunder]

Yeah bc it’s against rules

[tawny oxide]

Ah my bad

[empty coral]

what even was it about

i read it but erased it

[tawny oxide]

against the rules I fear

[teal trench]

i love corndell

[bronze egret]

Yay

[teal trench]

will I get into corn? 🤔 😭

[balmy juniper]

There was no such option

when I was applying bruh

Together with our CAAAN Advisory Committee (C’AC), we’ve been reviewing the existing program and evaluating a broad spectrum of new opportunities for alumni volunteers to interact with prospective students, both pre-application and post-admission, to have the most significant impact moving forward.

As a result of this review, we will no longer offer CAAAN contact meetings to applicants, beginning with the upcoming 2024-2025 admissions cycle. There are several reasons for this change, but one driving factor is the volume of applicants. The significant increase in applicants to Cornell means it is no longer possible to meet with each applicant who may be interested in a CAAAN contact meeting. This isn’t fair to interested applicants who don’t get a meeting, and it isn’t fair to our alumni volunteers who’ve been asked to take on an ever-greater volume of work.

Ok yeah they stopped this

[bronze egret]

Ah

[timid cave]

That’s dumb

If it has no impact towards chances of admission who cares

[balmy juniper]

it's just cool to be able to find out more about the school

[timid cave]

I liked my interview it was hella informative and I learned a lot about Cornell through that

[empty coral]

should I run a few cycles of the ivy rejection simulator in preparation for my letter

[slate walrus]

Yes

[unique musk]

we should grind it together

[empty coral]

speedrunning

[tulip cove]

It’s fine you got that ED legacy boost

[empty coral]

my stats are still shit

[balmy juniper]

coe applicants here?

[hasty anvil]

Not ed but yeah

[tulip cove]

guys im curious how will the Cornell application status portal change

rn it just shows a bunch of supp app details and my address and checklist and stuff, will it just show one button soon that says "status update?"

[hushed imp]

probably

@tulip cove dont worry its like hella hard to mis

[tulip cove]

[hushed imp]

[tulip cove]

[tulip cove]

this was the poll from last year yall

57 did ed cornell last year in this server?

[unique musk]

pls dont say coe cs

maybe thats just all not only ed

[tulip cove]

maybe, but that poll was made on the day for ed

[gray rover]

might be cooked

all we can do is pray

[inland thunder]

It’s not

We did separate polls for early and regular

This is the RD one

[tulip cove]

144 💀

[mortal sable]

This is insane

A2C popped off

[wise shuttle]

does anyone know if we can send updates after ed submission? updates like additional things we've done after submission

[balmy juniper]

yes

you can

uptil 27th nov i think

[balmy juniper]

is that a lot

thats like <1 % of total ed apps

[tulip cove]

from just this server tho

idk feels like a lot

but a2c is pretty popular so yeah

[balmy juniper]

theres literally no other server as big as a2c

[tulip cove]

mhm

[balmy juniper]

a2c is as big as it gets

[balmy juniper]

what college did you ed to

[tulip cove]

cornell.

[balmy juniper]

Bro like

what college in cornell

coe cas cals

[tulip cove]

o

CALS

[balmy juniper]

goodstuff

[tulip cove]

originally dyson but too competitive

lol

so doing data sci at cals cuz i also have some environment stuff and data

[balmy juniper]

dont they have an ornithology lab next to the airport

[tulip cove]

[bronze egret]

Yuh

[balmy juniper]

does the airport fly anywhere except nyc

[bronze egret]

JFK and Newark

Most people using it are from NYC or do connecting flights

Everyone else does Syracuse or Rochester

[wise shuttle]

oh cool thank you

[wise shuttle]

do you have a link to where you saw this? just want to see any additional details or specifications if they've shared

[balmy juniper]

It's nov 22 not 27
i think they changed it

so basically coming friday

[wise shuttle]

ohh okay cool but this is required materials - so would it apply to other optional supplementary material as well?

[dire dust]

what decision date are we thinking

I’ve heard the 12th 15th 16th and 19th

I sorta think it’ll be the 19th?

[rugged walrus]

im thinking 12th but i have no backinh for that

just vibes

[hushed imp]

lmao

[bronze egret]

Why

No chance me’s here

[tame breach]

yah i got in a little bit of trouble yesterday in this thread bc i almost shared my stats and ecs for a chance me

u can share this in r/chanceme on reddit tho

no i dont think so

ur good tho

🙏

like ur ecs r pretty good

especially the published research

[bronze egret]

I go there

[tame breach]

r u from NY?

[bronze egret]

Lmfao

Besides that tho gl

College admissions suck

But genuinely u will get through it

[tame breach]

i hate having to wait for college results

HATE IT!!!!!!

[bronze egret]

If yall ever have questions abt cornell im here

(Idk too much abt stats but general school more)

[unique musk]

I'm cooked bro look at the ecs of these people

[hushed imp]

i believe

[hushed imp]

if it makes you feel any better the class thing is essentially irrelevant because their school is going to have significantly greater access to advanced classes then avg students

[mortal sable]

no chancemes

[mortal sable]

We are not AOs and also do not know all the circumstances of your life (aka your entire application)

even if we did know everything, things are very subjective and we are not qualified to tell you whether or not you would get in

It also leads to a cycle of people putting others down which is very discouraging and harmful to mental health

you're good just don't post again

if you really really want to chancemes, r/chanceme exists

you can always post on there

the reality is these people are not admissions officers though

[balmy juniper]

chat

so i did some

research

A reasonable time frame to consider is between December 12 and December 17th (Thursday to Tuesday)

Cornell ED 2023 came out on December 14, 2023 which was a Thursday

Cornell ED 2022 came out on December 15, 2022 which was ALSO a Thursday

Cornell ED 2021 came out on December 14, 2021 which was a Tuesday

Cornell ED 2020 came out on December 17, 2020 which was ALSO a Thursday

Cornell ED 2019 came out on December 12, 2019 which was ALSO a Thursday

Cornell ED 2018 came out on December 11, 2018 which was a Tuesday

I couldn't find dates post 2018, although looking at the general trend of decisions coming out around a week after the semester ends in December, they all seem to be towards the end of the week. All these dates were confirmed from cornelladmissions on instagram by the way.

Logically thinking, Since they seem to have an affinity towards Thursday, ***December 12, 2024 ***seems to be the day for them this year. They could do Dec 17 (Tuesday) or 19 (Thursday) but that seems a little bit too late for mid December.

[balmy juniper]

whats the startup culture like

therse something like the blackstone launchpad there

[bronze egret]

Very strong

Entrepreneurship lab and prof frat

Lot of competitions to get funding for ur ideas too

My friend got 25k if I recall (got second or third in one)

[restive canopy]

so most likely this year either 12th, 17th or 19th huh

thursday, tuesday, thursday respectively

[lone jasper]

@solar coyote

[cerulean shoal]

I remember the 14th last year 🥺

[cerulean shoal]

can concur

very strong

[lusty onyx]

what school is iit?

[cerulean shoal]

😭 that’s a joke I go here

[lusty onyx]

ohhhhh

cool

[tulip cove]

I don’t think peopl really care cuz more people from my school are applying than last year

Last year 1 this year 5 including me which is a lot for my school

I’ve heard so many people in this server going to ed Cornell as well

[bronze egret]

U got it

[tulip cove]

There’s always a lot of people tho so idk

[tulip cove]

Yeah I’m competing against them right

[bronze egret]

R u all going for same major

[tulip cove]

I’m the only one applying CALS

[bronze egret]

Then no not rly

[tulip cove]

Hmmmm I see

[slate walrus]

Anyone dorming at the veterans house

[bronze egret]

I have a friend there

Most veterans get put up in apartments tho

[slate walrus]

Really

I’m not a veteran but apparently contracted ROTC cadets can get out in there

[bronze egret]

It’s more for that

Veterans are old

They prefer apartments usually

[slate walrus]

Really

[bronze egret]

(Old as in like 30’s)

[slate walrus]

Yea

[bronze egret]

It’s also hella small

Like 25 people live there

Cause just one house

[tulip cove]

im international

[severe timber]

switching into the most competitive schools like dyson or engineering is harder but overall it's usually doable if u put the effort in and have a good reason for it? but i think the first year acceptance rates for humec and cals are about the same so it's not like u get a boost by getting into che first and then transferring...

[mortal sable]

I thought it was a whole process

Like you have to do an app?

[severe timber]

yeah u do

[wise shuttle]

what is ED postpone correspondence on the portal?

[balmy juniper]

its if you want to shift your ed to rd

[empty coral]

this is your proof that a2c is Not an accurate sample size

[slate walrus]

Yea fr

Idk I saw that when I searched up Cornell rotc so I was interested

[tame sandal]

hi

i am back

ama im bored

[balmy juniper]

hows the food at cornell

[tame sandal]

i am very picky so do u want the personal answer or the answer eveeyrone says

[balmy juniper]

both

[bronze egret]

Also very picky here

Better than I expected

[tame sandal]

everyone says : its rlly good for college food, so many options (this isnt false)
me : u have to find ur niche. dont come in thinking its restaurant or michelin level but it is good. all have pizza of some sort if ur that level of picky but im kind of against it cuz health. i prefer certain dining halls over others which makes it harder for me to get meals but there are really good options for dinner and breakfast and lunch. my biggest ick with dining is the forced meal plans + the dining hall hours + dining hall location, not rlly the food. in terms of food its just a "i very rarely eat at certain dining halls"

[balmy juniper]

is there variety in cuisines?

[tame sandal]

yeah

[balmy juniper]

oh shi

[tame sandal]

its like too much detail to say specific halls but

[balmy juniper]

is it possible to eat super healthy

[tame sandal]

theres been burgers, asian type (lo mein, orange chicken, bibimbap, ramen), burrito bowl, nachos, tikka maslaa

poke

jerk chicken

[tame sandal]

yes

every dining hall has a protein of some sort when they are at fully open status

and they all have a salad bar

that is always open

morrison has kosher and halal stations

[balmy juniper]

i dont quite remember how dining halls work but im gonna guess that

theyre open at specific times only right

?

[tame sandal]

yeah

how it works at cornell

like

most are just like 10-2 for lunch

10:30-2

11-2

smth like that

and then dinner 5-8:30

that is the general

[balmy juniper]

...

[tame sandal]

morrison is kind of open 2-4 without hot meal just pizza

[balmy juniper]

10 am for lunch??

wha about breakfast

[tame sandal]

7:30 or 7ish

open

the dining halls that server breakfast usually just stay open from bkfast into lunch

[balmy juniper]

what times are the earliest classes?

[tame sandal]

but theres a few that dont open for bkgast

8:00am

unless ur rotc

[balmy juniper]

and latest?

[tame sandal]

[balmy juniper]

[balmy juniper]

Thats wild bro

10:30 pm class is crazy

[bronze egret]

Often for labs and stuff

[balmy juniper]

[tame sandal]

i prefer having a class 7:30-10:30 than 8-11 personally

[balmy juniper]

hungry at 2:30 am

what do i do then

[bronze egret]

I have a 7:30-10:00 research lab next sem

But I wanted to take it

So it’s chill

[tame sandal]

there are "convenience stores" that take dining dollars open until 2

?

[tame sandal]
