Cornell University (2024-2025)

[tame sandal]

when its behind or sideways i get so overstimulated

😭

[mortal sable]

Do you believe in seasonal depression

[tame sandal]

freshmen in general are making friends their whole freshman year, especially during orientation
it is super easy to just tap a neighbor in class and be like hey whats ur name whats ur major what dorm r u in

[inland thunder]

check pins of #1068814960437764157

[mortal sable]

Like out of curiosity I’m just wondering

[foggy tree]

it's funny cause I love CA weather but I didn't apply to a single CA school lol

[tame sandal]

like it makes sense but if u take vitamins/get enough light exposure atp its just a mindset

just cuz its dark outside doesnt mean ur failing ur classes

[foggy tree]

oh yeah it's annoying in that case

But I think I'm lucky cause my hair is very cooperative and it doesn't get tangled easily

[mortal sable]

Unfortunate I would recommend all of them to anyone who likes sunny weather minus Berk

[tame sandal]

like im also more sluggish and down in winter cuz thats biological

but again that doesnt mean i should be crying bc i have no friends

[mortal sable]

Hmm I see

[mortal sable]

Ofc ofc

[foggy tree]

even northern cali is amazing imo lol

[tame sandal]

not tangles but i have a cowlick in my part that i get so insecure abt lmfao

[mortal sable]

I think the issue is a lack of light exposure cause there’s less light/more gray

[tame sandal]

ig but there are lamps for that

and vitamins

[mortal sable]

Like last year it rained 4 straight weeks

And it was depressing asf

[mortal sable]

Yeah but it’s not natural sunlight

[tame sandal]

like if u instead think omg i love how nice the rain feels on my skin and embrace it when ur outside

[mortal sable]

Yeah it is but Berk is like Seattle weather

[tame sandal]

u would not be depressed

abt the weather

[mortal sable]

Yes but when irs more than 2 weeks idk I

[tame sandal]

u can take a second and process ur emotions and realize that the weather is no reason to be sad

[foggy tree]

still warmer and sunnier though

[mortal sable]

Maybe I’m just not used to that

[tame sandal]

ok well that never happens here

theres always a day within the week where u see blue

2 weeks is wack asf

[mortal sable]

Ehhh sf is cloudy 75% of the time

[tame sandal]

esp if ur looking for it

[mortal sable]

Oh no I was just saying in general sorry not about Cornell

[tame sandal]

obv if ur locked in ur room all day u wont see the sky period

[foggy tree]

yeah if I go to cornell (or any northern college) I am definitely investing in one of those lamps + a bunch of vitamins

[tame sandal]

yeah my friend has the lamp

[mortal sable]

NorCal rainy seasons can be something some years

4 weeks and many flood warnings

[tame sandal]

i saw someone studying before a midterm today and they fully just had a lamp on their desk

not in their room

like in th emiddle of a

building

[foggy tree]

It's like 99% of the time I don't notice the bad weather but if there's one sunny day then I'm like "omg I'm so happy today"

[tame sandal]

yeah

same

but there have been a lot of sunny days when ive been sad

so

[foggy tree]

true, I spent last spring there though and starting from like april it was noticably better than seattle

[mortal sable]

I feel like I’d have seasonal depression but more so bc I haven’t been used to it

[foggy tree]

true true but sunny > cloudy imo

[mortal sable]

Issue is you finish school early May so unless you stay the summers

[tame sandal]

yeah its prettierr

[foggy tree]

oh yeah that's true

[mortal sable]

Summers in sf are basically the only times it’s sunny

[foggy tree]

Honestly san diego is where it's at

[mortal sable]

Sd is perfection

[foggy tree]

I know I wish I applied to some unis there but alas

[mortal sable]

Hey use

USC

[foggy tree]

I liked their iovine program but I feel like I would feel trapped if I'm incapable of exploring extra classes outside my major

so I ended up not applying

Cause when USC visited I specfically asked them that question and he said I might be able to take 1 or 2 classes outside of my major if I plan really well and that did not cut it for me

[tame sandal]

lol ew

thats why i switched out of bme

[dire dust]

that application took more time/thought than anything else i’ve done by so much

[foggy tree]

oh my gosh yeah the application process was so long and honestly that was part of the reason I didn't apply

[dire dust]

the most stressful thanksgiving i’ve ever had

[foggy tree]

Like I was NOT gonna do all that for a major I didn't even like that much

Plus my portfolio definitely would not cut it lol

[dire dust]

i’m pretty proud of mine but the investment of time was hard to make especially considering I submitted two weeks before ED comes out

i love the program tho i’m interested to see what happens

[dire dust]

this is very annoying

[foggy tree]

Yeah gl! I really wish I had the motivation to do all that lol

[foggy tree]

def

I'm super interested in politics

And also I want to take random fun classes you know

[dire dust]

the essays were rough too

[foggy tree]

Like not related to my major

And maybe things like dance classes

And I do NOT want to be so limited

[dire dust]

yeah i wanna dabble in some random bioethics classes and dystopic lit

which is hard to do there

[foggy tree]

Are you more interested in the design, tech, or business side of things?

[dire dust]

business probably

[foggy tree]

Which pathway do you wanna do?

[dire dust]

in terms of their concentrations?

[foggy tree]

Yeah

[dire dust]

some of their product design classes looked really interesting

[tame sandal]

lol i didnt apply darty cu zo fpeer req and didnt apply pton bc of essay submission

[dire dust]

business of innovation could be super cool but it also could be all buzzwords

[dire dust]

two silver linings of getting deferred would be hearing from USC and my dartmouth peer rec lol

[foggy tree]

Honestly yeah if it weren't for how rigid the major is I would've definitely applied

[dire dust]

did you apply usc in general?

[foggy tree]

Nope

I might if I get rejected ED though

I'm planning on adding a bunch of random unis to my list

[dire dust]

i have 5 left

which naturally average like 4+ essays lmao

[foggy tree]

I have maybe like 4 ish essays to do since I was extremely motivated in september lol

But if I add more schools obviously that means more essays

[tame sandal]

16 apps was like 55 essays for me

😂

[dire dust]

i believe i’m 38/63 done

[tame sandal]

i wrote them al over winter break

dec 17 - jan 3

[foggy tree]

my mom is convincecd I'll get accepted ED so she's planning a vacation over winter break x_x

[tame sandal]

if my mom did that id be dead after gettingg rejected

[foggy tree]

I keep telling my mom to stop

She is not listening smh

So I'm planning on writing them in two weeks which is finals week which also means I only have 2 hours of exams a day and then I'm free for the rest of the day

[meager jasper]

Who ready for a rejection!!

[tame sandal]

me

[meager jasper]

[bronze egret]

Depends

[unreal surge]

on the college?

or on the year?

[bronze egret]

No school has a set amt

Depends on kids who apply

Diff kids have diff needs

Those kids may or may not get in

[unreal surge]

that is true!

i was just thinking if there was some kinda quota yk

[velvet shard]

Im from syria and they took like 3 syrian kids with full rides last year

[unreal surge]

extremely good

[fast knot]

Source?

Cuz I aint seeing anything from official website and emails

[velvet shard]

Oooh, to intl standards nope. Keep in mind they compare u to the pool of students that r from ur country

Syria is war-torn and is currently undergoing another war, so here we’re not the most impressive people

[fast knot]

That is interesting... my counselor just told me the exact same date this morning

How did he know lol

[velvet shard]

Same, but confirmed via questbridge

[velvet shard]

Reddit’s on fire about it too

Maybe ur counselor’s a certified redditor

[fast knot]

Should I not go to school on that day lmao

[unreal surge]

time will stop moving broo

[fast knot]

I just want to get accepted

That's all what I want

[unreal surge]

ohhh. i see...forgot the context for a sec.

[velvet shard]

Yall keep ur expectations low but ur hopes high

[fast knot]

Where did yall apply for

[unreal surge]

that is the billion dollar question how?

[velvet shard]

U dont want a letter’s context to destroy ur lives, regardless of the results keep working towards the future and focus on RD now

[velvet shard]

AAP’s BFA

And a game design minor

[fast knot]

Nice

I applied for Dyson

[velvet shard]

Idk lmao just gotta recognize ur chances and recognize that regardless of the results, ur still u and ur worth is still in u, no uni put it in u

[unreal surge]

facts!

real bro

[fast knot]

Chance me thing is meaningless at this point

Maybe be just relaxin

[unreal surge]

but it gives the illusion

[velvet shard]

Thats just seeking validation or attention

[unreal surge]

the illusion that you know what is going on.

[velvet shard]

Yeah exactly

[fast knot]

Dyson school has about 3% acceptance rate...

[velvet shard]

And redditors out of all people

[unreal surge]

there is this too!

[velvet shard]

Eyy dont think about numbers much, odds are always defied whether with or against you

[fast knot]

Idk man the result is already chosen

And we cannot change it

[velvet shard]

Just cross ur fingers and before opening that letter tell urself that u did ur best regardless of the outcome

LMAO SAW THAT

[unreal surge]

got this notification today lol

[fast knot]

Lol

[velvet shard]

And thats okay

[vapid mason]

wiat guys

did you guys fill out the fafsa for cornell

was it due

[foggy tree]

Anyone here in college of human ecology, design and environmental analysis?

I just realized cornell has that major 😭

And now I might switch from info to that major

but I have my essays written

Maybe I'll apply info then switch

idk which major to do 😭

Double major maybe lol

Nah I'll stick with info sci for now, if I want to I'll switch majors, I think d+ea is a bit too environment focused for my taste

Pity there isn't a major that combines the best of both worlds

but yeah I think info is better for me

[tame sandal]

last midterm!

[tame sandal]

then ur trapped in cas for a year

tbf cas is flexible so u can likely take whatever u want and have a simple transfer

but theres a chance u dont get in transfer

u can always minor in DEA

or take courses in DEA without a minor or major

personally i looked at the healthy futures, health policy minors

they look fun

if i had the space

[foggy tree]

That's what I'm planning on

Recently I realized I want to do more broad human centered design, not just UX

Like service design

So I think UX + a few courses in DEA would be good

[bronze egret]

Also ux clubs here

[dull wren]

We really have no idea how decision day will go which is both comforting and frustrating but I rly wish u the best!!

Failure can show growth and that youve pushed yourself

[tulip cove]

is it cuz u have a higher sat score

[unreal surge]

[balmy juniper]

What school is this

Your teacher just hasn't submitted the teacher evaluation

Through commonapp

Open commonapp and check if they submitted

[unreal surge]

teacher eval is not school specific?

💀

[balmy juniper]

No

[unreal surge]

university of puget sound

[balmy juniper]

Teacher evals are not supposed to be specific to one university

It's written on the disclaimer your teacher signs before submitting

[balmy juniper]

I highly suggest checking whether all your teacher evals have been submitted

on commonapp

[rugged walrus]

5 days omfg

how we feeling

[balmy juniper]

Good

[rugged walrus]

i also have not started rd lol but i only have 2

[balmy juniper]

[unreal surge]

yea there

[balmy juniper]

is there a green tick next to the 2 teacher evals?

[rugged walrus]

hm thats weird bc if they submitted on commonapp it should go to all they were assigned to

[balmy juniper]

Yeah maybe they assigned it

but

the teacher didnt usbmit

lmfao

[rugged walrus]

💀

[balmy juniper]

HMMM

[balmy juniper]

Thisis odd

How many teacher evals did you get?

[rugged walrus]

idk if this also goes away when u submit but can u look at recommender section for that school on commonapp

[unreal surge]

yeahhhh 😭😭😭

[balmy juniper]

It's red up until the teacher submits it

Pretty sure

[unreal surge]

for """"that"""" school?

or every school?

[balmy juniper]

Woa what's this

[dull wren]

some event

but I will fail

[bronze egret]

Acapella

[torn shell]

cornell allows up to 6 rec letters this year. if i sent 6 will that reflect badly?

[valid dagger]

do you have 6 rec letters to send lol

[torn shell]

wait i sent 7

including the required counselor rec

[valid dagger]

did you have several people write you letters exclusively for cornell?

[torn shell]

so counselor, math teacher, science teacher, english teacher, SWE supervisor, finance supervisor, and my boss at work

[torn shell]

they dont specifically say cornell but i feel like im screwed 😭

[brazen drum]

wait u get recs exclusive to schools?

i just get general ones

[valid dagger]

the vast majority of people do not have six reccomenders

i had four

[valid dagger]

no

they're supposed to be general

[torn shell]

ig its worse to have more then?

they all talked about different things tho except my counselor rec overlaps a bit

[brazen drum]

then just submit 6 lmao

[torn shell]

already submitted for ed lolk

but i was reading online that :"the thicker the admissions file the thicker the applicant"

and that more rec letter is worse cuz they dont wanna read that much

[brazen drum]

nah cause some ppl are just that good

+its literally their job

[torn shell]

bro i hope thats the case and i didnt become an auto-reject 😭

[brazen drum]

nah that would be hella messed up

[torn shell]

but since they only spend 15 mins on each app i hope they didnt just pass over my essays then

[brazen drum]

if they ask for 6 they will look at 6

[torn shell]

most of them were optional tho

i hope thats still fine

[brazen drum]

its chill bro take a deep breath

[torn shell]

nah im so stressed out from this 💀

[valid dagger]

nobody is an autoreject, cornell is a holistic review school

i promise you its not that deep

[torn shell]

okok thank you

[brazen drum]

just know there are like millions of hsers rn in the same boat including me 💀

Jeez

Why havent they mailed it yet

[balmy juniper]

how cornell feels not updating their portal even though theres 4 days to go

[uncut sundial]

Cornell finals are gonna be the end of me

[foggy tree]

Jeez x_x

And I thought I was overkill with 5

[foggy tree]

No dw you should be fine

As long as the letters all add something

At worst they'll be annoyed but far from auto reject

For a lot of schools I submitted more than they asked for

Cause I had 5 so my school counselor said she would submit the extras for me

[torn shell]

ahh okok mine was 7 but the 4 were optional so at least theyre allowed right? for schools that dont allow more than a certain amt i heard they just trash the extras

[foggy tree]

If you can put it on the common app, they're allowed and dw about it

[dull wren]

oh no

[unreal surge]

yo, massive thanks

[dull wren]

I felt that I have done a major mistake in (my essay)-why this college

[unreal surge]

i wanna try coming fall.....when we are in Ithaca.

chat we are getting in!

[unreal surge]

aren;t you guys done? or was that mid term??

[vague notch]

Only 40 spots for Europe😭😭

[dull wren]

Actually not everyone admitted enters

Intl are mostly cooked

So it is advised to not apply to Ivies

[balmy juniper]

Noone advises that

[dull wren]

For me

[vague notch]

Is there a limit to how many the accept from international, if so, do they limit it in general or for each country or continent

[balmy juniper]

Whoever advises you doesnt know what they're saying

[dull wren]

Because I’m not too good

[balmy juniper]

That's subjective

[balmy juniper]

Not really

There's a general range

10% of the class is always international

you can look up country wise enrollment to see

[dull wren]

10% for diversity

[vague notch]

But lets be real, there wouldn’t be many people from Europe’, most would be from China because of how hard they work

[balmy juniper]

You can always divide the number of people from that country enrolled by 0.75 to find out how many get in

[balmy juniper]

That is not something the university can control

If there were suddenly 200 people from europe that they wanted to admit and only 5 from china

they wouldnt reject 195 from europe and accept 195 from china that they didnt want

[dull wren]

What are the per country statistics for Southeast Asian countries

Around 40

[balmy juniper]

Name

[balmy juniper]

Nah bs

India alone is 40

And india is second after china

[dull wren]

30 Southeast Asian countries

[balmy juniper]

they're all <30 for sure

[balmy juniper]

collectively?

[dull wren]

Singapore?

[balmy juniper]

yeah probably

[balmy juniper]

wait

[vague notch]

I’m UK, and tbh I don’t know how many people apply from the UK to the US in general

[dull wren]

And from Vietnam is just around 6-7

I postate that in Vietnam around 30 go to all 8 Ivies

So it’s really rare

Total of all 8 schools should be around that number

[balmy juniper]

Wait so

I cant put my finger on

singapore specifically

its too small on the map

But it's about 5 - 8 per SEA country

[vague notch]

What about UK

[balmy juniper]

10

enrolled

per year

so they probably accept like 13 - 15 on average

[vague notch]

Ok

And how many of these are Ed

[balmy juniper]

Data that specific is not available

Are you full pay

[vague notch]

Is there websites to see the statistics of students who have gotten in to schools and what country they are from

[vague notch]

What’s that

[balmy juniper]

do you need aid

[vague notch]

Not eligible

[balmy juniper]

You 've got a shot then

What college?

Scores?

[vague notch]

Engineering 😭😭😭

[vague notch]

Like SAT or official UK exam scores?

[balmy juniper]

both

[vague notch]

1500 SAT
A-Level predicted 3A* 1A

GCSE 10 As and A* 1 B

[balmy juniper]

Oh yeah

solid shot i guess

whats your math subscore

800?

[vague notch]

790

😭

[balmy juniper]

Ah

I mean

still solid

your sat is above the 25th right

[vague notch]

Yh

I’m like 50th centile ish

[balmy juniper]

gl man

from a feeder?

[vague notch]

I doubt it though ibr

[vague notch]

What’s a feeder

[balmy juniper]

does your school send kids to the us regularly

[vague notch]

No, not really

Most of the time if they do, it’ll be some sort of scholarship

[balmy juniper]

i see

[vague notch]

1 got into Harvard/Stanford for a golf scholarship

Lots of sports scholarship

Rarely for pure education

[balmy juniper]

Yeah thats a feeder

[vague notch]

But it’s not

I said lots I didn’t mean lots

[balmy juniper]

even 2/3 a year is a lot

[vague notch]

Maybe like 1-2 students apply to the US each academic year.

[vague notch]

Oh ok

[balmy juniper]

Oh shit

[vague notch]

Yh

APPLY

This yr there is 3 of us

[balmy juniper]

Damn

[vague notch]

How many are you applying to

[balmy juniper]

if i dont get in ed

then incl UCs thatd be 19 (counting all UC individually)

[vague notch]

Damnn

And what about excluding the US

[balmy juniper]

UK

I applied to 5 places

[vague notch]

UCAS?

[balmy juniper]

i mean ucas allows tops 5

[vague notch]

Yh

[balmy juniper]

yeah yeah what else

[vague notch]

Are you from UK

[balmy juniper]

yes

what does that mean

no

im not from uk

[vague notch]

Ohh ok

[balmy juniper]

yeah

[vague notch]

Where are you from

[balmy juniper]

where did you apply from ucas

[balmy juniper]

india lol

[vague notch]

I still haven’t sent it off yet😭😭

But Imperial, Bristol, Bath, Southampton, Nottingham

[balmy juniper]

Dang

[balmy juniper]

what was your TMUa

score

[vague notch]

ESAT

[balmy juniper]

Oh

right yeah

how was it

[vague notch]

It was like 4.7 average😭

[balmy juniper]

is that bad or what

[vague notch]

But in the UK that was average so I should be ok

[balmy juniper]

Yeah

A friend of mine has a 5.6

i think

I did oxford pat

didnt get the interview tho either

[vague notch]

Well a person who got rejected got 3.3 and a person who got accepted got 5.6

[vague notch]

Damn, unlucky bro

[balmy juniper]

Yeah i dont mind

[vague notch]

So many Cambridge/imperial interviews in our school

I say so many not that many

[balmy juniper]

i didnt do imperial

wasnt in the mood to take another test

[vague notch]

What course

[balmy juniper]

engineering...

💀

[vague notch]

Yh we’re finished

What specialty, aero?

Mech?

[balmy juniper]

yeah

[vague notch]

What Mechanical Yh?

[balmy juniper]

yes mechanical

[vague notch]

Alr,

Where did you apply UK?

[daring whale]

india is 20-30 usually max

[balmy juniper]

Who said so

They have 130 enrolled undergrads right now

thats 32 undergrads enrolled per year

safe to say everyone who was accepted didnt enroll

inferring from the average international yield rate of 75%

32/0.75 = 42

So

Yeah
