Cornell University (2024-2025)

[empty coral]

we just arent that big

im definitely the only a&s ed applicant from my school

[proper hearth]

Which part of Nj?

[empty coral]

depends what state but probably

[empty coral]

morris county

[proper hearth]

Dang

[timid cave]

Yeah I’m in the Princeton-area lol

[empty coral]

oh thats cool, i have friends in the princeton area

and princeton itself

[timid cave]

Everyone and their mother applied to Princeton only for like two to get in fun times

[unique bear]

I’m in union county

Two of my friends EDed here

[empty coral]

i know one kid with better stats than me who was going to ed cornell but hated the supp so much he changed it

[unique bear]

I think deferral for one and rejection for the other

[empty coral]

im surprised they didnt

i feel kind of guilty for being a legacy but ill probably get rejected anyways

ny is trying to ban legacy anyways

[proper hearth]

Yeah

Oh well

Just have to be patient and respectful of the process

[empty coral]

they should ban legacy after accepting me

imo

[proper hearth]

Is ur school like magnet or competitive?

[empty coral]

ive attended a cornell hockey game every year for 16 years of my life, that better count for demonstrated interest

[proper hearth]

I know north Jersey has some cracked schools

[empty coral]

no, it's a small public

class size of 130

[proper hearth]

Wow

I got class size of 281

But public too

[empty coral]

there are some really good kids but they arent interested in cornell

[proper hearth]

Same boat as well

[empty coral]

my school has a lot of spoiled rich kids who dont try hard in school

[proper hearth]

Everyone likes UChicago down here

[empty coral]

i havent heard a single person at my school mention uchi

[proper hearth]

People are all over tbh but ik Chicago has people interested

Good amt of Princeton and UPenn as well

[empty coral]

my school is small enough that i know where all of the smartest people are applying

[proper hearth]

Same here tbh

I hopefully will be a proud Cornell representative

[empty coral]

penn loves my school for some reason, out of the 9 ivy admissions since i've been here, 6 have been penn, with one princeton, one columbia, and one brown

[proper hearth]

Dang

[empty coral]

including 4 wharton

and one person turning down penn

[proper hearth]

Idek what our school has done

I just did the best I could

[timid cave]

Are test scores still optional for you guys

Ik they mandated it for some ivies

[proper hearth]

Depending on the school, it’s either recommended or optional

[empty coral]

my app is not very good because i wanted to die for much of high school but im trying to save myself

[timid cave]

Ah

[empty coral]

and make the best of it

im happy if i end up at a state school

i can work hard there and grind for a top law school

[proper hearth]

I’m going for cs so I am praying 🙏

[unique musk]

gdi

[empty coral]

im just glad i recovered as much as i did because i was NOT doing good in sophomore year and most of junior

[proper hearth]

yeah

Well hopefully it works out for all of us

[empty coral]

yeah

the gpa to sat disparity for me is crazy

[proper hearth]

Same kinda lol

[empty coral]

my sat is always by the top of graphs and my gpa is on the very low end

[vapid mason]

😭😭pray we all get in 🙏

[proper hearth]

I’m far right always

And like mid

[empty coral]

if we get in we need to meet up

[proper hearth]

If we get in, sure

[unique musk]

cant be doxxed if ur the doxxer

[empty coral]

i mean meet up at cornell

[unique musk]

ya ik

[proper hearth]

Prayers up tho 🙏

[empty coral]

need to hit up my religious friends for spiritual support

[unique musk]

pls cornell god

mr. ezra cornell

[empty coral]

im an atheist but god if you're real i will reconsider my thoughts on you if i get in

[vapid mason]

Lol me too 💀

[unique musk]

i will pray to arceus

[empty coral]

john cornell

[vapid mason]

Bro one week is so long

And three days

[empty coral]

more than a week

[unique musk]

just go to sleep and wake up on decision day

[empty coral]

im gonna be at the orthodontist when decisions drop

or on the way home

my orthodontist went to columbia this might be bad luck

[vapid mason]

Wait guys

Do we need to fill out fafsa before ed comes out

[unique musk]

im 99% cooked my ecs r ass

[vapid mason]

I didnt do fafsa yet

[empty coral]

everything about my app feels ass when i compare to other people

people did so much

[unique musk]

ikkkkk

hopefully me essays r good

[empty coral]

too late to change the past

i think my essays are good

[unique musk]

thats what i always say to myself

[empty coral]

im hoping that the niche i fill is needed

[vapid mason]

Did u guys fill out fafsa

[unique musk]

i havent yet cuz im pretty sure i dont qualify

[empty coral]

i havent but my mom is going to tomorrow

[empty coral]

it's still worth doing for merit aid at some schools

[vapid mason]

Alr

[unique musk]

this week is cooked for me tests n whatnot

[empty coral]

my family is pretty well off but im doing it anyways

[unique musk]

stats test + history smt same day

[empty coral]

i have a spanish presentation tomorrow that im gonna work on in a sec

[unique musk]

multi test tmrw

[empty coral]

im so prepared for a deferral

full rejection would sting though

[unique musk]

rejection simulatorrr

[empty coral]

no deferral simulator

i doubt they will full reject but maybe im in for a rough awakening

[unique musk]

def means waitlist?

[empty coral]

they arent gonna full reject a legacy (hopefully)

[empty coral]

it means sent to rd pool

which you usually get rejected in

but it's a softer form of rejection

[unique bear]

Eh it’s only like 3 tbh

[unique musk]

🧏

[empty coral]

newark academy, seton hall prep

[unique bear]

Tenafly Millburn West Windsor and maybe one of the privates like PRISMS

NA and Pingry are good too

Seton hall is for bricks

[tame breach]

im gonna throw up

[unique bear]

Huh what’s the highest SAT in ur school

I know stats aren’t everything but

[empty coral]

idk their SATs

im close to the top i think

i hope my 800 r&w as an english major helps

[unborn anchor]

does anyone know about the fashion management major's competitiveness at cornell

[timid cave]

800 reading and writing damn

wish i could do that

[unborn anchor]

i literally ED'd to FDM in Humec but I dont have any idea how many people are applying or how comp it is

[bronze egret]

People applying are just usually into major

So results skewed I imagine

[unborn anchor]

wym

[unique musk]

im 790 RW 780 math cs 😭

[bronze egret]

Like a lot of people apply to cs bc money or oh coding is cool

People applying to fashion usually have a very defined interest in it

[unborn anchor]

oh i gotchu

[bronze egret]

But good luck fashion here is so sick

[unborn anchor]

yeah we'll see what happens but i genuinely got no idea

[unique musk]

im kinda interested in game design like fr not just b/c i like games

maybe we'll see how this goes

[crude creek]

who pinged me

[unique bear]

I have 800 rw….as a STEM major

[unique musk]

😭

[tame sandal]

hi

[unique bear]

It’s tragic for us bro

I have 790 math too

Maybe I should be a lawyer

[tame sandal]

?? what is tragic

😭

it is not that depe bruh

i had a 33 in science on act and got into engineering

not that deep.

[unique bear]

Yeah I’m not worried about it lol

790 is more than good enough for cornell eng judging by testing averages

[unique musk]

im applyin a&S

[tame sandal]

assk me anything am bored and procrastainating hw

am back on campus tho 💪

[unique musk]

cs a&s vs cs eng

[kind flame]

Uhh why Cornell engineering

[tame sandal]

identical other than gen eds and math

[unique musk]

i hate physics and chem

[tame sandal]

i chose it cuz prestige lol

[tame sandal]

yeah cas is foreign language and like one course in each category of 10 categories for gen eds

[unique musk]

eng classes r fun if the prof is goated

[kind flame]

R there any specific engineering programs that u think cornell is acc goated in compared to other schools

[tame sandal]

project teams

and they allow co op

• the meng program

[unique musk]

wait r u double major in cs or

[tame sandal]

i considerd i

it

but im info sci and cog sci

[unique musk]

0.o

what was the python stuff i saw u doing then

[tame sandal]

intro cs

its a req for info sci

[unique musk]

ohhh

[tame sandal]

i also just wanted to take it

anyways

yeah but it helps combat weight gain and its healthy and u get used to it

cornell calves 😂

also jsut take bus

if u super lazy

(thats what i do)

[unique musk]

is it always cold af

[tame sandal]

i dont get bored but im a person who likes knowing what there is

and not feeling like idk anything abt my area bc theres so much to explore

[tame sandal]

no

[unique musk]

on my trip it was freezing

[tame sandal]

in certain courses yes but u can outweigh it with other classes

[tame sandal]

it didnt get cold until like

mid-late october

tbh thats everywhere

there is good accessible resources at cornell health for therapy and etc

$10 a session

yeah

[unique musk]

From my trip

[tame sandal]

when i came to cornell to self tour

i was stupid and went to the fitness side

and i was like

why is the road so long and empty

[kind flame]

Oh wait thats me

I also came when it snowed so i couldnt rly see anything

[cerulean shoal]

i was so confused for a sec bc its snoy today

[cerulean shoal]

W snow

[unique bear]

Huh did u do ap physics

How’d u do

It’s hard for me to imagine someone disliking phys tbh

[unique musk]

i am doin r/now its cooked

maybe cuz my teacher is not ver good

[tame sandal]

the reason i applied eng was bc the essays were shorter/lesser

and i loved my phys teacher in hs

[unique musk]

0.o

i was gonna but like eh

[tame sandal]

yeah i also rlly liked bme

then i realized i did not want to do the curriculum after getting in

so i transferred

i also honestly like cas gen eds

[cerulean shoal]

cas goes hard

[timid cave]

I read that as edged cornell

[balmy juniper]

O nah

[dull wren]

Wow

Coming soon

[balmy juniper]

Ive got an exam 4 hours after the decision

Gg to my sleep

[dull wren]

So sad

I am international

Because Vietnamese are so competitive even in my school

I feel my ECs are not enough

[uncut sundial]

Ngl idek the differences that well but like tons of people I've met wanna switch out of CHE so unless you're sure you love CHE I would be careful about it when the major is cross listed. Like I literally have a friend who is switching from CHE to CALS for public health so he can do a specific double major (but I don't remember in what)

[tame sandal]

my friends in che just have

rlly quirky and specific gen eds

its odd

[tulip cove]

next friday 😭 idk if i’m mentally ready

[vapid mason]

Thursday

[tulip cove]

my time zone friday 8am

[tardy trench]

i think mine ends at 7

[tardy trench]

they actually compare u to ppl at ur school?

as in ppl who are also applying

[vapid mason]

Idk 😢😢

Im sure they do to get an idea of where u stanf but in terms of like making decisions and choosing someone over another idk how much of an impact it has

[empty coral]

not if you are applying to different colleges within cornell

[tardy trench]

I see

what if nobody in my school is ed'ing to cornell

[empty coral]

lucky you

less competition then

[rugged walrus]

why do we have 9 whole days left that’s too long

AND IM PROBABLY GONNA HAVE ANOTHER 3 MONTHS AFTER THAT

[brazen drum]

thats good

[tame sandal]

hi

[balmy juniper]

theres 2 ed to cornell from my school but the other ones to nolan

maybe they arent done with it

there could be like stuff they need to take care of

accidentally uploading an acceptance

or vica versa

dude

10k apps

45 days total aight

220 applications a DAY

Idk

each college does it separately

[grim lintel]

like 30 kids from my school eded to cornell

[balmy juniper]

Thats wild

[grim lintel]

my gradfuating class is like

230

btw

[balmy juniper]

My graduatiing class is 120

Lol

[grim lintel]

hence why i made this

[balmy juniper]

Lmfao

what major ru

[grim lintel]

every ny resident applyting to cals 🙏

im prob not gonna apply to cornell

[balmy juniper]

im engineering

[grim lintel]

bro is cooked

is that in cornell eng

or no

[balmy juniper]

i think thats cas

Yeah

[tame sandal]

cas and cals

[balmy juniper]

Ive only met 2 other people doing COE

Every person ive met is

CAS or the business school

[grim lintel]

msot ppl eding here are cals

cals pre meds

[balmy juniper]

bio

[grim lintel]

no

cals is

college of agrilcutre and life science

so all the biio majors are there

[balmy juniper]

my decision comes out @ 530 am in th emorning

im contemplating

whether to get a full nights sleep

go to school

[grim lintel]

for cornelll??

[balmy juniper]

take my chem exam

come back

[grim lintel]

cornell ed comes out tmrw??

[balmy juniper]

[balmy juniper]

no like next week

[balmy juniper]

OR

[grim lintel]

i didnt ed anywhere

[balmy juniper]

potentially get in

potentially have the rgeatest chem exam of my life

or

[grim lintel]

i wanna shit on everyone when they get rejected from ed

[balmy juniper]

not get in

and

[grim lintel]

i have an ap calc bc and an ap chem test tomorow

ami cooked

[balmy juniper]

hiroshima bomb the exam

just 1 week togo bruh

[brazen drum]

bros going for the all or nothing strat

[balmy juniper]

Like genuinely

5:30 for mee

[brazen drum]

nah bro is actually boutta search the whole country

[tame sandal]

\the food science major is in humec

[balmy juniper]

Im good bro

[grim lintel]

are you in state or oos

if youre in state def cals

oos idt it mattrs

not a cornell expert but theyre probably the same

dont quote me tho

[tame sandal]

gen eds

gen eds is the only diff

in cas u need foreing language and to take a course in like 8-10 categories (inclusive of math, life science, stats, history, "social difference", psych, and more i can provide a link if u want)

cals is more science reqs

instead of foreign lang and history and stuff

https://as.cornell.edu/education/degree-requirements

https://cals.cornell.edu/undergraduate-students/cals-student-services/degree-advising/cals-graduation-requirements

yeah

[severe timber]

if you're instate and cals then you get discounted tuition

[tulip cove]

10k ED apps?

[balmy juniper]

They got like 9500 last year

so like 9600 or700

[tulip cove]

jeez

[balmy juniper]

💀

[tulip cove]

wait why more this year

[balmy juniper]

Idk

Doesnt it increase every year

why would it decrease

it might stay the same honestly

[tulip cove]

cuz of lower rates ?

[balmy juniper]

but they announced last year that theyd accept students this year

[balmy juniper]

of what

[tulip cove]

they announced it last year

for ED

[balmy juniper]

Yeah i dont think thatd change whos ed-ing

[tulip cove]

fr

[balmy juniper]

They just said theyd reduce it

not by how many

[tulip cove]

many many people do it just for high rates

[balmy juniper]

what was ed acceptance rate last year

like 17?

i think

[tulip cove]

i think you can just search that on google

idk it decreased tho

[balmy juniper]

theyd probably make it like 13 or 14 this year

still insnaely difficult

[tulip cove]

mhm

[balmy juniper]

but easier than rd

so

[tulip cove]

is it

[balmy juniper]

what country ru from again

[tulip cove]

that’s a debate

rn

[balmy juniper]

are you full pay

[brazen drum]

def easier

[balmy juniper]

and international

[tulip cove]

oh hong kong, i’m international

yeah no aid i’m paying all

but still hard for me

[balmy juniper]

Yeah youre at a super advantage

[tulip cove]

i meannn yeah

[balmy juniper]

IIRC a lot of HK apps are rich asl

[tulip cove]

still hard

[balmy juniper]

Compared to where im from

[tulip cove]

so competitive

[balmy juniper]

A hugeee majority is

like

[tulip cove]

ohh

[balmy juniper]

aid seeking

[tulip cove]

that’s normal tbh

US is mad expensive for us

[balmy juniper]

yeah not very advantageous for ed

you'll just get deferred

i think

this is just an opinion out my ass

[tulip cove]

🤷‍♂️

[brazen drum]

is it because rd is where they try and satisfy diversity quotas or smth?

[tulip cove]

why rd only

[brazen drum]

idk just a theory

[tulip cove]

oh

[balmy juniper]

strong scores + ecs + recos + overall profile strong + full pay --> potential acceptance
EXTREMELY strong scores + ecs + recos + overall profile strong (im talking imo level type shi) + aid --> potential acceptance
strong scores + ecs + recos + overall profile strong + aid seeking --> defer
NOT strong scores + ecs + recos + overall profile strong + full pay --> reject

[balmy juniper]

No

Need aware colleges usually compare

because intl aid is limited

[balmy juniper]

talking wrt to intls only

[tulip cove]

atleast they said my app is positive

[brazen drum]

oh intl yeah i was thinking domestic

[tulip cove]

just gotta manifest my acceptance now

[balmy juniper]

what

what does that mean

[tulip cove]

oh like

[balmy juniper]

they said your app is positive?

[tulip cove]

my dad has some connections

[brazen drum]

lmao

[balmy juniper]

Bruh

[tulip cove]

it’s not any official result

[balmy juniper]

Yeah you're in

lol

[tulip cove]

nooo

positive is too vague

[balmy juniper]

still

[brazen drum]

bro got the results ealry

[balmy juniper]

better than most

you just got the result early

[tulip cove]

ig

[balmy juniper]

they usually dont say anythin at all

[vapid mason]

wait what if i indicated that i will seek aid but still relatively high income

[tulip cove]

and also they are not allowed to be a lot of info anyway

positive is all they got

[vapid mason]

like i just indicated that i would seek aid just to try it

[balmy juniper]

depends on what your EFC is

[vapid mason]

What is EFC?

[balmy juniper]

How much can your family pay

max

per year

[brazen drum]

i mean apparently it doesnt matter what u put in that box, cause i know ppl who put they dont want aid and they still go it

[vapid mason]

Oh okay

[balmy juniper]

I dont think so

If your CSS indicates you need aid

It does matter

[brazen drum]

i assume we talking bout the common app checkbox

[balmy juniper]

Now i dont know how much this guys fam can pay

[balmy juniper]

Yeah same

If you check it, they expect the CSS

If your CSS indicates your family can pay 5k a year

[brazen drum]

yeah one kid i know got aid when he put no aid for that, he still turned in all his stuff and got aid

[balmy juniper]

youre screwed

domestic?

[brazen drum]

yeah

[balmy juniper]

Yeah the landscapes very different for intls

domestic it doesnt matter if youre seeking aid or not

if youre seeking aid as an ed applicant as an intl youre bound to be deferred even if youre a decently strong applicant

[vapid mason]

Oh i am domesitc

so it doenst matter for me?

[brazen drum]

wait if u get deffered and then accepted rd are u still binded to the school

[tulip cove]

so if i’m not seeking any aid

it’s chill right 😎

[balmy juniper]

Yeah yeah

they dgaf

[balmy juniper]

Yes

Cornells need blind for domestic

and extremely need aware for intls

[dire dust]

you’re not still bound

[tulip cove]

i NEED them to be need aware for me

so that’s good

[balmy juniper]

Yeah same lol

[balmy juniper]

No

you're released from the ed agreement if you dont get in ED

[vapid mason]

i NEED to get in 😭

[balmy juniper]

same

ill actually evaporate if i dont

i dont think i have a chance at any of my rd schools

[tame sandal]

it is still like more comp than domestic if u are fullpay

lots of intl dont apply for aid even if they need it

[balmy juniper]

Yeah

[tame sandal]

which makes it look like they are the same as u guys

so theres no bump to being fullpay as intl

[balmy juniper]

Not the case in India or so I've heard

[balmy juniper]

idk if you doomscroll i2u on reddit but my cope is that full pay does lowk help

[tame sandal]

i only know one intl on aid

[balmy juniper]

COMPARED to other intls

[tame sandal]

tbf the other intls i know are lowkey probably rich

[balmy juniper]

not compared to domestics

[tame sandal]

but

[balmy juniper]

yeah exactly

[tame sandal]

i didnt say the others dont need aid

ik at least 3 who need aid

but didnt apply

[balmy juniper]

i think the sample size is too small

those kids are probably like the

[tame sandal]

well no duh 😭

[balmy juniper]

ones who have to go like

80k in debt

not 300k

[tame sandal]

if u r going 300k in debt to go to a us school

u dont go to a us school

💀

[balmy juniper]

yeah exactly

a lot of indian applicants have an family income of <30k usd

[tame sandal]

then what r u saying

LOL

i dont speak to indians

[balmy juniper]

thats wild

[tame sandal]

my friends are all east asian

???

😭

[balmy juniper]

fair enough

[tame sandal]

idk jack abt india

tf u expect me to say

[balmy juniper]

so like

you just cannot expect them to apply without aid

[tame sandal]

good for them 😭 im saying what i know

[balmy juniper]

aight aight fair

[tame sandal]

i did not speak to get in a debate abt it

[daring whale]

this is wrong on so many levels 😭

[balmy juniper]

like i said

[balmy juniper]

.

(im just coping)

[tulip cove]

should still help abit

[tame sandal]

i dont think it helps

more so looks better

[tulip cove]

o

[tame sandal]

in other words i dont think it helps but rather being aid seeking hurts

ykwim?

[tulip cove]

but many people that need aid still asks for aid

[tulip cove]

ig

[tulip cove]

this is def true tho

the domestic kids doing ibdp drop 30 bombs

we have to aim for like 43+

crazy

[restive canopy]

[rugged walrus]

tbh i didn’t start tweaking until this week the waiting wasnt killing me until now

[restive canopy]

😂 😂 😂 😂

[rugged walrus]

[restive canopy]

I do A levels

[tulip cove]

ah i see

[restive canopy]

how many HLs did you take

[restive canopy]

they prefer ib tho

[tulip cove]

maybe

[tulip cove]

3 HL 3 SL

its the standard IB diploma

not individual IB classes

[restive canopy]

ohhhh i see

[tulip cove]

i wish we could just choose ib classes or ap

thats so much easier

dont have to do all this research cas tok bs

[restive canopy]

we choose A levels here

everyone here picks whatever

[tulip cove]

[unique musk]

bro the AOS r just edging us they prob have the decisions alr

[vapid mason]

dude im gonna die

[balmy juniper]

i concur

some for me as well

[empty coral]

secondly do you have any strategies to cope with my impending rejection

or deferral but that’s basically a rejection

[balmy juniper]

Idt a deferral is a rejection

they say they only defer candidates theyre strongly considering

[empty coral]

ehh

idk this is basically just a for fun application because my gpa is kind of ass

[balmy juniper]

what is an ass gpa

a2c doomscrollers say cooked then say 3.899999

[empty coral]

3.5 uw which is ass for cornell

[balmy juniper]

its holistic they gotchu

[empty coral]

[balmy juniper]

[empty coral]

for real honestly

[empty coral]

arts and sciences

[balmy juniper]

[tame sandal]

both

[cerulean shoal]

😨

[gray rover]

I always thought cornell was more big techy ngl but ig being in ny adds a good amount of quant appeal

[tame sandal]

[empty coral]

i hope not

[unreal surge]

seriously just look at a2c reddit

also here the number of msgs in each megathread

[lusty onyx]

how

getting rejected from or going to a university does not decide the rest of your life bruh

[restive canopy]

I don't think there's more hype this year

judging by the megathread

[unreal surge]

ohh. missed that one.

[restive canopy]

maybe the megathread will go crazy within the next week

[unreal surge]

i was here last year. but the megathread here last year was for Harvard.
still could be wrong but that is what i rememebr.

[unreal surge]

yeah, definitely.

[tame sandal]

last yr was like harvard and uchi

but itll bump up nearing ivy day for all ivies

[unreal surge]

what happened to harvard this year

lol i'm glazing cornell like crazy

can i find acceptance rate of each college like CAS for ed?

[inland thunder]

The thread of the year always changes

The year before it was UMass

[unreal surge]

ohh okay. thanks

[tame sandal]

probably on google

[glad sorrel]

generally hard to find this type of info

[hazy sun]

hey yall\

do u guys kno if ece or cs is more competitive

[valid dagger]

cornell doesn’t admit by major, they admit by college

apply for the major you want. there’s no point in going if you can’t study what you’re interested in

[raw sapphire]

yo i might be cooked

i dont think im gonna get in

[unique musk]

thank goodness i didnt apply engineering then

[cerulean shoal]

its ok there r a lot of tracks for u to shine

for example u can choose the honors cs classes or the regular ones, which electives u want, etc

like all the stacked people might CS rush but u can take it easy, take the classes in a good order, and you'll be fine without the cracked people to put u down

[brazen drum]

welp i applied engineering so uh yeah cooked

[cerulean shoal]

my friend in engri really likes it

i will say u should take AP chem if possible

if ur an engineer

a lot of engineers here have big gripes with chem

[brazen drum]

yeah but im cooked on getting in

hi

[foggy tree]

Someone here convince me why Cornell > Duke and that I'm not gonna get depressed and die if I go to cornell x_x

[inland thunder]

i will say it here too like i did for brown

but we dont currently have a cornell server icon or banner

if someone makes one by the 11th im willing to sub it in for what i have planned

[tame sandal]

personally duke was above cornell for me
but u arent gonna get depressed and die going here 😭 what
what are ur actual reasons

[foggy tree]

I think my main reasons for ranking Cornell below duke:

Less work hard play hard and honestly I cannot take another year of a competitive environment
Grade deflation
Too cold (I'm a summer girlie)
Too rural

[tame sandal]

whats ur major?

[plucky ledge]

[tame sandal]

i dont think its a comp environment

its only comp environment if u believe it is

it is very work hard play hard

[foggy tree]

info sci, ux concentration

[tame sandal]

that is

[foggy tree]

yeah that's what I've heard, but compared to duke I feel liek cornell students aren't as happy

[tame sandal]

not deflated

[foggy tree]

I love cornell so much though

[tame sandal]

info sci is hella inflated

im info sci uiux

[foggy tree]

oh huh I didn't know that

[foggy tree]

ooh how do you like it?

[tame sandal]

its a huge major

so the classes r large asf

[foggy tree]

I think I was thinking of more engineering and stuff 😭

[tame sandal]

lots of project based classes

[foggy tree]

Oh yeah I sat in on a class when I visited last year

[tame sandal]

well yeah but info sci isnt eng

[foggy tree]

yeah I think I remembered wrong lol

I'm just worried about my mental health if I go to cornell

Like dark cold days and worried that I'll be stressed

[tame sandal]

u dont just get depressed from attending a school called the depressing school

[foggy tree]

seasonal depression hits hard x_x

[tame sandal]

ull only be stressed if u make urself stressed

😭

a lot of this is what u make of it

if u think u hate it here, u will hate it here

[foggy tree]

Yeah that makes sense

I think cornell and umich are tied for my second choice

I love both so much

cornell for the any person any study

[tame sandal]

i tghink we're happy but if thats how u feel

[foggy tree]

umich cause the school spirit is similar to duke

[tame sandal]

u eded duke right

[foggy tree]

If I end up having to choose between umich and cornell I'll have to visit both and compare

[foggy tree]

yeah

But honestly if I had to make a bet I think I'm gonna get deferred then maybe waitlisted x_x

[tame sandal]

then why u worried lol

[foggy tree]

trying to cope with my probable deferral/rejection lol

By making myself fall in love with either cornell or umich

[tame sandal]

u seem sure ur gonna get into cornell or umich with that logic 😭

[foggy tree]

Nope lol it's a coping mechanism

But I think I have a higher chance of getting into umich than cornell and maybe duke

[tame sandal]

i personally didnt start coping till i got acceptances

no point in thinking abt rejections or outstanding apps

[foggy tree]

True I'm just anxious

My mom really wants me to apply to Yale too and that might be my third choice (?)

Idk similar worry about Yale to Cornell with the mental health because I wanna use CAPS but I don't wanna get kicked out for using it 😭

I heard it's better now though

But honestly I don't think I'll get into yale lol

[tame sandal]

why would u get kicked out for using caps??

[foggy tree]

every time I think of cornell I think "I wanna take fun figure skating classes" lol

it was this entire thing a year or two ago

Where they forced students on involuntary leave

And made it really hard for them to come back

They got sued for it and I heard it's better but idk

Yale CAPS is not it

[tame sandal]

oh i thought u meant cornell lol

[foggy tree]

oh no lol

[tame sandal]

i had brown and duke above cornell but just bc of open curriculum

[foggy tree]

I will say that when I visited Cornell students seemed happier than Yale but that was probably because I was so sick during my yale visit I could barely stand so I didn't exactly have the energy to observe 😭

[tame sandal]

yale they study more

play less

from what i hear from my yale friends

[foggy tree]

Huh that's the opposite of what I've heard

Maybe info sci is inflated?

I would be doing cog sci at yale with hci concentration

[tame sandal]

i never said it was hard for them

its just theyre used to being locked in and studying

so they may not say it

[foggy tree]

that's true

[tame sandal]

but its what they spend most of their time doing

[foggy tree]

I did overall get a good vibe from cornell though and I ended up liking it a lot more than I expected to

[tame sandal]

omg im cog sci and info sci double major lol

[foggy tree]

wait that's a combo I'm actually thinking of if I go to cornell lol

cog sci is really cool

[tame sandal]

mhm

i love cog sci major here

[foggy tree]

But for ux design cornell is probably better

[tame sandal]

i met wigth the dean a bit ago

nicest woman ever

theres also like a comic they do for the major

its so cute

[foggy tree]

ooh

would you say it's easy to make friends at cornell?

Also how bad does seasonal depression hit lol

Like ratio of sunny vs cloudy days

[tame sandal]

yeah but i think that goes for like most colleges

[foggy tree]

This year seattle (where I'm from) is a lot sunnier than usual and it's had a noticable effect on my mood lol

[tame sandal]

i mean its ithaca i think its cloudy like 180 days

or something its googlable

but idt its depressing unless u make it depressing lol

its a mindset

[foggy tree]

okay thanks I'll keep that in mind

Yeah def

[tame sandal]

i fidn the cold n clouds refreshing

the ppl complaining

its 80% bc of trauma bonding

[foggy tree]

huh where are you from?

[tame sandal]

20% bc of genuine hatred

[foggy tree]

LOL fair

I will say cornell snow is beautiful though <3

[tame sandal]

trauma bonding is huge in school environemnts like cornell (in a good way)

my hs was similar

u complain a lot but its j to appeal to ur friends and crack jokes

not rlly like ur actually depressed usually

unless thats the type of person u hang around

[foggy tree]

my school's kinda like that too

[tame sandal]

westchester ny

by refreshing i mean its just like calm

[foggy tree]

Oh yeah so you should be a lot more used to the cold than I am lol

[tame sandal]

i wouldnt say its pretty but my vibe doesnt change on weather

my vibe changes on my schedule

😭

[foggy tree]

LOL so fair

I love snow though <3

then again seattle doesn't have it as much as cornell

[tame sandal]

it didnt snow much at all last yr

[foggy tree]

But snow is gorgeous

[tame sandal]

but its hitting this yr

😭

been snowing like 3 days

[foggy tree]

that would be a dream for me lol

I remember last year

or was it two years ago

It started snowing in class one day

[tame sandal]

like yeah but the wind is a big thing

[foggy tree]

And I spent like 10 minutes ignoring my teacher and just standing by the window watching the snow

[tame sandal]

its less that its colder here more that its windy asf

[foggy tree]

I LOVE WIND

[tame sandal]

like we often get 40 mph winds

[foggy tree]

I mean I hate how cold the wind is

wait

you just made me love cornell lol

I LOVE THE WIND SO MUCH

[tame sandal]

lol i hate it

[foggy tree]

Like it feels so freeing in a way

[tame sandal]

fucks up my hair

gets cold down my shirt n jacket

and makes weird noises when i open my window

slams doors in old dorms

[valid dagger]

i need a distraction from finals lemme lock in

[foggy tree]

I mean as long as you're bundled up well I love how it whips my hair around

Like I'll literally stand outside facing the wind and just enjoy it

[tame sandal]

i dont like the hair part lol

[mortal sable]

Come to La

[tame sandal]

i lowkey walk backwards sometimes

[mortal sable]

USC or ucla

[tame sandal]

just to be facing the wind

so it doesnt blow the hair in my face

oh im fine with it at my face
