[worthy apex]

all cornell students yáll rock

[valid dagger]

reminder to please do the poll if you got a decision today

[heavy notch]

applicants here either got rejected or accepted so i think a deferral is a good sign

[worthy apex]

seriously @bronze egret @tropic vector @tame sandal ....... others tooo! thank u for every gem of help u offered,

fallen homie and proud rejectee of cornell class of 2029

[tame sandal]

dude

do u not understand how rules work

[valid dagger]

what happened lol

[tame sandal]

theyve made like 5 alts

i think carly or someone alrdy banned tho

[valid dagger]

lmfao

it is never that deep

it’s discord

[patent hollow]

hmm idk, he's def not a 5th alt account

[valid dagger]

why do u wanna be here so bad

[tame sandal]

they were just yapping and i said the way they were talking made me feel weird like they were rizzing me and then they full sent it and then disregarded warnings and ended up banned

[valid dagger]

oh!

[tame sandal]

and now they keep

evading

just to talk in here

like waddafuq

[toxic onyx]

breo what

[valid dagger]

a therapist would have a field day w that i think

[cerulean shoal]

i love corn

[gritty crag]

is there any real stats on deferral rates

[mortal sable]

Hey! So happy you got in but please DO NOT post face reveals here

[velvet shard]

Did anyone get a full ride?

[blazing bison]

no way no international got p sure

[tulip cove]

[velvet shard]

Last year they took 2 Syrians with full aid from my orginization

This year they didnt admit anybody

[vague notch]

I’m an intl student and they just deferred me.

[velvet shard]

Yeah they’re not chilling with intls at all

[vague notch]

From this discord

[vague notch]

My friend got in to Dyson College of Applied Economics🥳

[cunning arch]

No im in athena

Theres one

On their instagram

[night jetty]

[blazing bison]

doesn't he go to high school in new york?

[cerulean shoal]

reminder to not discuss politics

https://international.globallearning.cornell.edu/alerts/guidance-possible-immigration-changes-2025

This should not affect anyone domestic applying here but if you already attend and have plans to go home for break this is something to pay attention to

And especially if you are an international

[crude creek]

@tame sandal when u see this can u dm me the 2029 server

[cunning arch]

Uh athena is quite international

There are more white ppl than brown ppl atp when i go to my center

[night jetty]

honestly u shouldn't care about non indian decisions if ur an indian 💀

is my point

[swift ether]

There’s a link to it on the Cornell Reddit also

[vague notch]

Damn, where’d you apply from

[tulip cove]

hong kong

other guy in my year also rejected cas

[vague notch]

Eesh

[tulip cove]

he literally had 1570 sat 44 ib

oh well

[unique musk]

Lock innnn

[vague notch]

I got deferred🫠

[tulip cove]

gon lock in for rest of my apps now

this my motivation fr

[vague notch]

My friend got accepted.

But he counts as domestic

Who has the Cornell 2029 discord server?

If you have it can you please message me so that I can forward on my friends discord user, who got in

[tame sandal]

Sent

[tropic vector]

Could I get the server, too?

[mental pewter]

Hey

My friend is an international student (China) and got rejected

She had similar stats and slightly worse ecs than me, and I got deferred

[blazing bison]

ohh same situation here I also got deferred 😭 don't know a single confirmed person from India that's gotten in

i hope we get in rd!

[karmic zephyr]

Does Cornell give slight preference to those who are deferred in the ED round, or is there no difference? Just wondering

[valid dagger]

hey yall if you got ed results yesterday please do the poll xoxo #1268144091494092851 message

[rare steeple]

It’s harder for internationals to get into American universities

[mental pewter]

Searched a bit online and I’m going to say tentatively no? Except for loci which might help a little bit

Old college threads also recommended you ask your counselor to call the college and ask for the rationale behind your deferment… is that feasible

[karmic zephyr]

I see, thanks!

[shy verge]

Could you send it to me as well?

[hazy herald]

[tame sandal]

Is this prettier for u

Why is it cropped like that

[rugged willow]

Is this detroit?

[tame sandal]

its cornell bro

[rugged willow]

whats that

[crystal marlin]

@tame sandal Do you know how common the TO option is?

[tame sandal]

no

[unique musk]

also btw does cornell defer take additional rec letters

i dont see anywhere on the portal where i can attatch stuff

wait lowk this is actually an important question

[tame sandal]

prob not

[unique musk]

mk

[unique musk]

any1 else know this

[crude creek]

theres a place where u can submit additional info

maybe its too early for that rn

[unique musk]

hopefully im not tweaking

[crude creek]

another thing i think u should keep in mind is like the timing of ur loci

u might as well wait until like

later to send it

they rnt gonna look at decisions until theyre reviewing for rd

if u submit it aroudn then they might actualyl readit and reember it

[unique musk]

i just ave this and my address under

[crude creek]

itll prob show up alter

Goodluck

Just 2 finals on Tuesday with an essay and I'm done 😩

[tame sandal]

whats the diff between a generator and an iterator

arent they interchangeable

😭

oh wait generator is like the original method and iterator is next() call?

[spare ember]

generator is a function you write

iterator can be created using iter()

[crimson token]

could you send it to me too please :D

[tame sandal]

im crashing out

i fucked up a wquestion

and left early

like a dumbass

[tardy trench]

Is anyone in a Cornell ensemble

I got into Cornell cs but I wanna audition for the orchestra

Idk how to do all at

[tame sandal]

ask in the 2029 server

[radiant oasis]

how many words were yall cornells 650 word supp?

[tame sandal]

there is a server

for cornell students, focused on co2029

[tame sandal]

anywhere upwards of 550 is probably fine

i can dm it

sent

[radiant oasis]

How does one have that muxh to say 😔😔😔😔😔

[tame sandal]

u have to explain why major, why college, and why you all in one essay

[radiant oasis]

I feel like my thing is interconnected so it got shortern by alot, how can i separate why major with why college

[tame sandal]

are u asking how theyre different?

they should be very different

[unique musk]

CAS i did why major + why college (if thats the prompt ur askin about

[radiant oasis]

Yea

[hexed peak]

this morning

Yup

It has its moments

[kind flame]

for the kids who got accepted into cornell:
did u guys submit a resume? if so, how'd u format it? did u do a short concise one-pager or a more expanded one

[teal trench]

Very concise 1 pager

[crimson token]

could you send it to me too please :)

[crimson token]

no resume 🫡

[tropic vector]

I was in the wind symphony but dropped it since it conflicted too much with my semester schedule

[unique musk]

wut about like club instruments

[tropic vector]

I'm auditioning again next year once my schedule cooks down, but I'm aware of the typical process to audition for ensembles

[pale kernel]

If you want to make a resume, just search up Harvard business resume

[tropic vector]

There are clubs outside of the ensemble for instruments

[teal trench]

How tough is it?

I wanna audition

[tropic vector]

They took every clarinet that auditioned. 18 auditioned

I strongly disagreed with that but oh well

[teal trench]

ohhh dope

[tropic vector]

For saxes they took about 20%

Depends on your instrument

[teal trench]

What's the Bass Clarinet acceptance rate?

[tropic vector]

Not too sure, but they had 2 or 3 and I know not many audition

[slate walrus]

Synth you play the sax?

[tropic vector]

Yes

[slate walrus]

Tenor

Or alto

[tropic vector]

The superior one

Alto

[slate walrus]

What.

[tropic vector]

Classical alto

[slate walrus]

Bro said superior one and then said alto

How big is ur det

At cornell

[tropic vector]

What

[slate walrus]

Ur detachment

You're in navy rotc no

Sorry I changed topics very suddenly MB

[tropic vector]

[tropic vector]

[slate walrus]

Good cadre

?

What u going for btw

[tropic vector]

Med

[slate walrus]

Nice

Have you guys sent any NR Engs

[kind flame]

Im engineering tho

[pale kernel]

It’s from the business school but the resume can be applied to any field I think

[kind flame]

But shouldnt i use cornell’s resume guidelines

[teal trench]

they had guidelines? 😭

[kind flame]

Well i mean for dyson

[pale kernel]

Wdym? Resumes meant for employers and their isn’t a standard resume

[tropic vector]

I'm sure we have

[ashen moth]

Cornell has a general resume template

You should probably be able to find it

[tardy trench]

do u gotta audition for that before starting the year

idk how college music ensembles work

[tropic vector]

You audition once you get here. The audition materials are posted over the summer

[cerulean shoal]

I think its lockd behind canvas...

unless im dumb

[ashen moth]

Yeah, could be. I know it is in the career module, but I thought I had seen it available publicly.

[severe timber]

hi guys

[tardy trench]

alr thanks

how would u say the competition is

im in all states but ig i'd be against people who have been studying music for years in college

[tropic vector]

It depends on your instrument

All of the saxophones this year (that got in as freshman) had very known competitions/ensemble experience

[tardy trench]

im a clarinetist

[tropic vector]

I myself had experience at some large honor ensembles, one including the majority of the Mid-Atlantic region

[tropic vector]

For wind symphony, you're fine

[tardy trench]

bet

[tropic vector]

They took every clarinet this year

[tardy trench]

wht abt orchestra

[tropic vector]

Orchestra is probably more competitive

[tardy trench]

yeah i'd assume

i'll grind

[tame sandal]

Do you still need

[dull wren]

Yes

[teal trench]

Cornell how could you do this to me?!? 😭

[dense trellis]

anyone have any specific advice for transfering ?

oops sorry i didn’t mean to reply to you

[tame sandal]

meet the requirements for the major ur transferring into
e.g. if ur major requires classes A, B, C, and D to be taken by end of freshman year, have it done

have a high gpa

above a 3.5

[dense trellis]

where do i find the required classes? the website is like a maze

[tame sandal]

what is the major

what college

[dense trellis]

cs, also i saw engineering cs and science cs, why the difference? And i’m at CC rn

[tame sandal]

the diff is gen eds

[severe timber]

the difference is in the other classes u take outside of cs

a&s = language/liberal arts, engineering = chem/physics

[tame sandal]

do u want to take foreign language and distribution requirements (history, lib arts, societal difference courseowkr) or do u want to take intense science requirements (gen chem, physics, higher math)

[severe timber]

ooo jae how was the 1110 final

[tame sandal]

i bombed the recursion question

rest was fine

no it was not fine the nested list one was hell

but i got thru it 😭

wbu

[dense trellis]

is higher maths like calc 1 2 and 3 ? or is it like super duper high math

[severe timber]

its just like multi tbh

[severe timber]

lowkkk i sat there for like an hour after i finished it was so long but i dont even think i did the stuff right😭

but it was ok

[tame sandal]

i mean both cas and eng require some math but cs in eng makes u either take like chem or some other high math

i forget exactly this is all googlabel.

https://cornellengineeringhandbook.freeflowdp.com/cornellengineeringhandbook/fall_2024/MobilePagedReplica.action?pm=2&folio=62#pg64

cs eng

https://www.cs.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/shared/Undergrad/arts_checklist_2024.pdf

cs cas

not that hard to find imo

i just google "cornell cs cas requirement" or "cornell cs eng requirement"

[tame sandal]

my dumbass left early

i needed a tissue

i felt like my sniffling was pissing off everyone arnd me

[severe timber]

the content was like barely longer than a prelim

[tame sandal]

yeah i finished looking at all of it within an hour

like trying all of it

[severe timber]

where were u sitting

[tame sandal]

😭 whatt idk how to descirbe

i walked in with walker

from the far corner

by the bleachers or whatever those r

[severe timber]

LOL

[dense trellis]

seems their not taking any engineering cs for transfer

[severe timber]

o yeah i did read that somewhere

[dense trellis]

i don’t wana do physics and chen anyways

[tame sandal]

do u want to take a foreign language

lol

personally i did but um 😭 most dont

[dense trellis]

i barely even know my own language

[tame sandal]

tbh idt u should be completing gen eds for transfer tho so it doesnt change what u should be taking

[tame sandal]

english?

[dense trellis]

nah some tribal language from the middle of nowhere

[tame sandal]

oh

what most proactive ppl in cs finishi n their freshman year

[dense trellis]

holdon is the language requirement before transfer ?

[tame sandal]

intro cs (python) - cs 1110
discrete - cs 2800
data struc and functional programming - cs 2110
ab and or bc calc - math 1110/1120 or 1920
if u alrdy have ap credit for it, u complete the track so u also take lin alg - math 2210or 2940

[tame sandal]

no its a gened

it looks good for internal transfer but for external theres no guarantee they actually take the credit

[dense trellis]

oh ok

frick their just like unc

[tame sandal]

should focus on these

[severe timber]

omg true

im taknig 2110 and 2800 next sem

[tame sandal]

if u need to understand equivalency, email a cornell transfer thing, google the class/course number i listed followed by cornell for more description

[tame sandal]

goodluck

[dense trellis]

i’m doing this, but in java not python

[tame sandal]

2110 is java

1110 is python

3110 is OCamel but most take that soph yr but u could get a jump on it

also everything i listed is in the links i sent

so

[tame sandal]

my friend is a very morally ambiguous Ta for 2110 btw

[severe timber]

morally ambigious hmm

[dense trellis]

ok thank you a lot mam

[tame sandal]

j know transfer could be harder than u expect cuz the stats are inflated by transfer option students

[dense trellis]

[slate warren]

[hazy sun]

is a doublr major in cs and psych possible

[unique musk]

Isn't jae doing that

[tame sandal]

yeah

basically

[tame sandal]

why not

like courseload wise?

or physically possible

physiclaly possible in CAS

courseload, its a bit but imo its doable lol but i like maxing out credits

im doubling in cog sci and info sci

but i have mapped out cog sci and cs or psych and cs

on top of premed

so ask me anything

[hazy sun]

im applying cs college of rnginerring yho

[tame sandal]

u cant double major between colleges

so you would be then doing a cs major in eng with a minor in psych at best

[dim echo]

If im a low income, is applying to HEOP a better option than applying through the regular admissions process?

[exotic sage]

does cornell have a research supp

[tardy trench]

is cornell cs courseload hard

CHEM?

dawg why we taking chem for cs 😭

damn

are the chem classes hard

[tame sandal]

one chem class all engineers have to take

then cs majors can either take a second chem class (specified in the handbook)

or higher level math or something

its all listed in the handbook

but thats only for engineering cs

CAS cs is different

Cs itself as a major, if u get coding its not that bad its just a bit of a time commit

cs classes tend to be a lot of time

[spare ember]

awww

[cerulean shoal]

yes

[cerulean shoal]

i love the snow rn

[cerulean shoal]

as a CAS CS major i am proud to not worry about chem

[bronze egret]

SAME

[cerulean shoal]

statler bus stop my beloved

weather is so scrumptious rn

[dull wren]

Snow

It’s so cold

[tame sandal]

i was walking to rpcc and my privileged ass didnt realize the time and was like

why r the roads not plowed

[opaque bluff]

Anyone who applied for cornell ed for fine art?

[rare steeple]

AAP?

[opaque bluff]

yes

i am kinda concern about my portfolio

i heard cornell has sat blind and portfolio is most important thing

[crude creek]

if ur aap ten its bascially portfolio based im pretty sure

[rare steeple]

Portfolio, home tests, and the essays are both important—I applied to Cornell AAP last year and was admitted so feel free to ask me any questions

[late junco]

does anyone know how many ppl AAP accepts off ED?

i heard that they didnt accept a lot this year

[crystal marlin]

Hi everyone does anyone know where I can submit addtional information on the cornell applicant portal? My portal only has the status update as of now.

[unique musk]

i think u have to wait (if ur deferred and trying to submit a LOCI)

i dont see one either

[crystal marlin]

Thanks!

[foggy tree]

Guys I'm a cornell simp now

Rejected Duke now I'm going for Cornell

[unique musk]

welcome to the team

[foggy tree]

why doesn't cornell have ed2 I'm gonna cry

yes stanford sucks

duke sucks

cornell and yale are better than duke and stanford

EXACTLY

Ivy leagues > non ivy leagues

who likes duke

they have roaches

Ew

[cosmic relic]

hall of fame coping guys..

[unique musk]

in fact this is D1 coping

[foggy tree]

exactly

we love coping

[lone jasper]

did anyone have low sat

[foggy tree]

I had a 36 superscore act and I got rejected duke

[lone jasper]

what how

but duke was tripping this time

[foggy tree]

it was a bloodbath this year

an actual bloodbath

[lone jasper]

no fr

why r they tripping so bad

[foggy tree]

what's the chance they made a mistake and are going to send out an email about how badly they screwed up LOL

[lone jasper]

they shoukd

maybe their system went doodoo

[crude creek]

stuff like that doesnt mean anything

its just cope

i had a 36 raw and got rejected from tufts

i just wasnt a good fit

[foggy tree]

yeah

I thought I was a great fit for duke though

but I guess duke didn't agree

duke sucks

[fossil merlin]

🗣️

[bronze egret]

If it makes you feel any better Duke is just ROUGHHH

I was a rd reject

Rly liked them too

[crude creek]

i think i was rejected too?

[tame sandal]

me 2

[uncut sundial]

same

[tame sandal]

damn

duke reject = cornell accept

/j

[foggy tree]

Duke reject to Cornell accept pipeline lol

[river gust]

Is Cornell really good?

[tame sandal]

Crazy vague question

[vast ridge]

Is it easy to get an on campus job at Cornell? And are there many inter-collegiate events and opportunities? 🙃

[tame sandal]

yeah

[river gust]

Curious because my opp keeps telling me I am going to a fake Ivy, how it’s trash university, and I am fraud like them, imposter syndrome kicking in suspecting my decision

[tame sandal]

people shit on corn bc its easy to shit on

1. newest ivy
2. funny ass majors (hotel)

3. bumfuck nowhere

(dartys lowkey worse tho)

but its all smoke

no better or worse than any other ivy its all about fit

oh,
4. we are half suny

if ur insecure abt it its ur loss bc ull lose out on enjoying getting accepted and enjoying meeting other prefrosh and getting to enjoy ur experience once u get here

but theres nothing to genuinely give a fuck abt other ppl shaming u for

[frosty garnet]

hes ur opp for a reason

[tame sandal]

every college has bulllshit

like yale and the naked parties

💀

cornell is an ivy and nothing can take that name recognition away

other than ur insecurity

[fallow flame]

tell him he can say that when he gets in

[night jetty]

nah

[river gust]

Sad part he got in Harvard

[river gust]

true I should instead distance myself and get to know it better and prepare what I want to do there

[night jetty]

this a troll frfr

[fossil merlin]

i love how i had to take cornell notes in freshie year and despised them and now im like cornell might be my top choice 💀

[tame sandal]

Cornell is hawk tuah uni ?

Lmao

[fossil merlin]

no ignore that 💀

oh

[cerulean shoal]

it was so pretty yesterday

😢 bad day to have an exam

i hate u

[fossil merlin]

YAYYYYYY

[tame sandal]

Bro removed it from his nickname

Lmao

[fossil merlin]

no i 1) needed to make space for the 1/0/1 2) will replace it with hustlers

[tropic vector]

I'm so ready to get screwed in 2070's final tonight 😍

Side chat my beloved

[wise tusk]

!mit

[cerulean shoal]

😊

[cerulean shoal]

you are gonna do so good trust

[tropic vector]

Bro my winter course was just canceled wtf 😭

I got so screwed all of the good courses are full now I signed up early to get what I wanted this is so messed up

Nah they better give me an exemption to enroll into any winter course even if it's full cause they actually screwed me 😭

I already paid as well

[cerulean shoal]

😔

[cerulean shoal]

WTF

[unique musk]

yo deadass we need a server for cornell deferred

[cerulean shoal]

wait thats awful

[tame sandal]

I just got cucked by orgo

[tame sandal]

What class was it

[tame sandal]

Its pay by credit not semester so itll be refunded just like PE or lab course fees

[cerulean shoal]

😭 sidechat is going crazy

[tame sandal]

Did u hear someone fainted

In financial accounting

[fossil merlin]

cornell lore

[tame sandal]

Like

Mid final

😂

[cerulean shoal]

😨

that is crazy

in financial accounting

[tropic vector]

I'm aware, just annoying
It was COGST 1112

I'll probably take MUSIC 2701 instead

Same number of credits, entirely asynchronous, open space, and it's about music and digital gameplay

[tame sandal]

Oh tf that got canceled

It runs like every winter 😭

And summer

[tropic vector]

Yeah 😭

[tardy trench]

If I take physics c e&m pass fail will i get rescinded

reason is bc im taking 6 other APs + 2 online courses so i dont think i can keep my physics grade above a B

[noble cedar]

yo how is it like in hotel school

ive heard ppl at cornell tend to shit on hotel school cause it doesnt get as much reptutation and attention as other schools at cornell

[tardy trench]

apparently it's #1 in hotel administration

[tropic vector]

ABSOLUTELY KILLED THE CHEM EXAM

IT WAS SO EASY 😭

[bronze egret]

Guys

Why does Barnes close at 10

I don’t wanna leave

[tropic vector]

Literally only recycled prelim and practie questions he probably felt bad for the 40 and 50% average on the prelims lmao 😭

[bronze egret]

LMAO

which class

[tropic vector]

Chem 2070

[noble cedar]

yea but its still look down upon

[fallow flame]

omg who even gaf that hard

ur still geting an ivy degree if prestige is what u care about

and if u major in hotel im assuming ull work in hospitality in which case a hotel major would be more useful than physics or a "harder" major

[crude creek]

its very good for aplcing into finacne actually

tahts what most hotelies do

[noble cedar]

alr

but what is it like in hotel adminstration at cornell

[fallow flame]

no idea

[fallen flower]

Put this into the cornell megathread reddit a couple days ago w/o response so I'm just putting it here to hopefully get some responses:

Got deferred in ED for Engineering (MechE)

SAT: 1550 (770,780)

Classes: Took CSA as an 8th grader, BC as soph, linear, multi, physics 1, physics C, World APUSH, Lit, Lang, APUSH, and currently Chem and Econ [All 5s except for 4s on World and either lit or lang (forget)] have taken junior year college CS courses at state school over summer -> had the hardest schedule of anyone in my school.

GPA ~91% GPA (at top ten boarding school in country w/ grade deflation and no weighting-> someone with an 89 or 88 avg(at my school cause he transferred Junior year and probably had like a 97 average at public) got into ILR and I think he may have also had legacy? Only 1/5 of my class has an avg above 90 for reference.

ECS: founded FTC Robotics team(main thing), created(paid for it) English department app used by entire school for their digital homework, physics club, head of Finance Club(we have a port of $35k$), head of CS club since sophomore year, head of chess club, 3x captain of ultimate frisbee team and I play national level club in the summer, Varsity Squash, contributed to school paper + more like Math + USACO.

Demographics Top 1% White Jewish Rich Boy from NYC

Essays and Recs: Essays were fire[Community about Frisbee, Common App about building fires and relating that to my passion for engineering, shorter ones also good] and my recommendations were also quite good and from my school's best english(harvard alum), history(princeton alum), and math(MIT alum) teachers, and my college counselor from school, who can read them, said the recs were also fire.

What do you all think I should be doing to help get in through RD aside from the obvious of doing well the rest of this semester, and do you think that locking into Robotics to make worlds(which I do really want to do regardless) would look very good as well? Any deferral advice would be super appreciated.

[unique musk]

bro i got deferred to for CAS and my stats are so much worse 💀

[long pike]

have tou tried changing your demographic?

[fallen flower]

you think they're a big hamper on my application?

like they have too many people like me demographically and therefore have higher standards?

[long pike]

One of the major principals uni’s like to talk about is their diversity. So take that what you will.

[hard gazelle]

i mean probably not, but their engineering does have 50-50 male femala quota which makes it more difficult

[bronze egret]

No

[hard gazelle]

I thought i was a pretty good applicant but no crazy awards like isef or anything and i still got in as an asian male in coe

[bronze egret]

They all go ib or consulting or real estate

[bronze egret]

I can answer specific questions

[long pike]

Wait what? they have a 50-50 male and femal quota? LOL

[hard gazelle]

im like 99% sure they do

[long pike]

wow, what a shame

[noble cedar]

you guys have a wine class there, how is it like

[bronze egret]

Cornell has several

Hotel wines is tasting

Cals wines is making

[fallen flower]

@hard gazelle any specifics on ur application

[bronze egret]

I’d do cals tbh

Hotel wines is HARDDD

[hard gazelle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/9d0lns/cmv_cornell_engineerings_acceptance_data_imply/ this post is old but coe still has gender parity

[bronze egret]

and making wine sounds lit

[noble cedar]

how bad can it be

[bronze egret]

There’s also a hard cider class at cals

[noble cedar]

you just taste wines tho

[bronze egret]

Shit ton of memorization for exams

You have to know sm history on every wine

And all the notes

[noble cedar]

js for wine 😭

[bronze egret]

But idk my senior friends that have taken have enjoyed it

[hard gazelle]

36 act, 3rd place in texas science/engineering fair in software category, nonprofit founder that helps families afford water bills were my big things on my application

[noble cedar]

wait youre in nolan right

[bronze egret]

U just pull an all nighter before exams

[noble cedar]

or cals

[bronze egret]

No Ik it’s randomly hard ik it sounds dumb LMAO

I just heard cals is lowkey better

For wines

[noble cedar]

how is being a hotelie like

[long pike]

WOW , i didnt expect this type of behavior from cornell smh

[bronze egret]

It’s more like 60-40 from what ik

[bronze egret]

I rly like it

I’m pre law so I’m a bit diff than most Hotelies

[noble cedar]

is it only like 500 ppl at hotelies

[bronze egret]

Rest of my friends r doing ib or real estate

I’m still recruiting for ib as backup tho

[bronze egret]

Per grade or overall

200ish per grade

Cornell biz school is abt 500 a year

Dyson + Nolan

[noble cedar]

dyson is some hardass school

i heard

hardest in cornell iirc

[bronze egret]

No

By far not

[noble cedar]

what is

[bronze egret]

Engineering is a lot harder

[severe timber]

hi riley

[bronze egret]

Dyson/nolan classes aren’t a joke by any means

[severe timber]

wait rly

[bronze egret]

But engineering tends to be a lot harder

But the workload for biz majors overall is a lot more imo

With clubs

And recruitment

[unique musk]

CAS rahhhh

[hard gazelle]

i heard chem 2090 is brutal for freshmen

[noble cedar]

the frats:

[bronze egret]

For internships LMAO

[noble cedar]

is hard cause yall wanna do frats fr (this a joke)

[bronze egret]

But club recruitment is brutal too tbf

[noble cedar]

how bad

[bronze egret]

I won’t lie you won’t enjoy life for a bit

(At any top uni it’s the same for my friends)

First 3 weeks of every sem is recruitment

You have all the coffee chats

Then all the pre recruitment events

Then 3 rounds per club

And each club takes like 5 kids out of 200 applicants

[noble cedar]

i mean its every top school, one of my friends at vandy is suffering rn

[bronze egret]

It’s just a lot as a fucking freshman

[noble cedar]

hbt when u get to sophomore

[bronze egret]

Oh yeah it’s by no means exclusive to cornell

It’s just annoying that it is that way

I’ve been done with it

I just lowkey hate being on other side

[noble cedar]

vandy is like ranked higher than cornell or no

[bronze egret]

I just feel bad for the freshmen

[bronze egret]

Nah

Good uni tho

Best friend there

[noble cedar]

nice

[noble cedar]

@bronze egret

[bronze egret]

Ohh didn’t realize that was a question sry

Assuming you placed well freshman year, you’re chill

You just have to help with recruitment

[noble cedar]

is ok

[bronze egret]

Clubs are a bit more work if you get onto eboard tho

As general member life is chill after NME (20-30 hrs a week of work)

[noble cedar]

hows the people like at cornell

like campus wise

and is food good

[unique musk]

if i get in i will be the biggest cornell glazer

[unique musk]

is this only for like sweaty stem clubs (ykwim) or clubs in general

[noble cedar]

word

gotta start glazing bill nye to

[unique musk]

i already am

[noble cedar]

i alr glazed him since when i was a kid tho

[unique musk]

bill nye is him

[noble cedar]

word

best alumni from cornell

apparently he goes to cornell every year to pay tribute

[unique musk]

#1 reason to apply fr

[noble cedar]

lol

[bronze egret]

Good

Big mix of people

[bronze egret]

Biz/law in my experience but there r def chill clubs

[bronze egret]

Food is good

Ranked like number 2 for dining or smth

I don’t eat at dining halls too much but could be a lot worse

[noble cedar]

why

[bronze egret]

Don’t usually have time

[noble cedar]

oh

[tame sandal]

im like not motivated enough to get the food theyre serving; its not bad i just prefer spending money

hi guys ask me anything im bored

[tame sandal]

its not that bad but its bc the class is all of gen chem in 1 sem for ppl who 1. dont like chem 2. dont need chem ever in their life

if it were premeds taking it it would be better

but tbh the whole chem department is screwed

[vast ridge]

What’s there to do on the weekends at Cornell 😣

[tame sandal]

some ppl weekend trip to bing or nyc or syracuse if they have not many commitments

theres farmers market in ithaca

some ppl shop cuz theres more time

most ppl chill in dorms and go out to parties

[vast ridge]

oo alr

So is having a car necessary

[vast ridge]

Are there nice malls around?,

[vast ridge]

Oh yeah how are the dorms?

[tame sandal]

nothing like a genuine mall like palisades or the westchester (google them to know what i mean)

but there are shopping centers

like ok theres the mall with target but its so dead i wouldnt call it a genuine mall

[tame sandal]

no u take the bus everywhere

freshmen get a free bus pass

[tame sandal]

there are obv bad ones but there are good ones
