[tropic vector]

All yall procrastinators 😭

[candid wasp]

his supps are so good

[rotund swan]

imma use coalition tho

[rotund swan]

no i finished basically every essay i js wanted to shotgun more😛😛

if there’s an extension i don’t see why not

[candid wasp]

nah bro when i get rejected from all 20 schools i'm gonna lock in

[tropic vector]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-dog-suspicious-look-suspicious-doubt-dog-doubt-gif-23680990

[candid wasp]

nah but fr tho

i need to get on that time management mindset

[rotund swan]

um so you didn’t have Yale on common app before right

[tropic vector]

Sounds like a good brother

[rotund swan]

or you did

[candid wasp]

i did

[rotund swan]

oh.

idk then

[candid wasp]

wydm

[rotund swan]

i can’t imagine you’d need it before tho?!?

like add it before the deadline

[candid wasp]

just add it and try it out

because mfs be planning out their supps since summer

[rotund swan]

well it lets you add but idk if it’ll go through

[candid wasp]

i like just gave up on top schools for a bit and settled on my state school

but after seeing people get in rea and ed i started lokcing in

[bronze egret]

The extension that likely doesn’t exist

[rotund swan]

idk man i saw someone said they submitted on the 3rd afternoon and it was downloaded

so not sure

i mean doesn’t hurt to try

js gknna waste a common app spot😢😢

perhaps

[tame sandal]

or u can waste $80

[rotund swan]

well i have a fee waiver 🤓

#lowincome

only opportunity cost

[tropic vector]

If you are able to still submit and you want to do it ASAP

Like

No later than tomorrow

It should have been submitted before the deadline, but if it still shows you can submit now then just do it 😭
Just be aware if you don't have a fre waiver you might be wasting money

[rotund swan]

okayy i will then

fee waiver will be fine

[tame sandal]

to send documents

[rotund swan]

i’ll js grind tmr

[tame sandal]

like

ur LOR

and transcript

[rotund swan]

oh.

then i mean if i don’t even wanna go to cornell seriously is it worth it

i was just gonna do for fun

😛😛

but nvm i think i won’t

[tame sandal]

no.. lol

[bronze egret]

Don’t apply to unis u don’t want to go to

[rotund swan]

well yea

i won’t then 🤍

[true wyvern]

It says on the portal

Submit anything that is required by January 15th

I would send ss but can’t send images

[steep siren]

you’re all welcome ‼️

but i assume there is a consequence for submitting late

[bronze egret]

@tame sandal

Istg

[tame sandal]

this is talking abt ur extra materials

[tame sandal]

it means extra materials

i thought u dont receive the portal until ur commonapp is complete

or do u not need to submit the writing supp

to receive the portal

[true wyvern]

writing sup separate

[tame sandal]

wtf

😂

i hate this college

watch them overenroll again

more quintuples

guys dont apply here.

[bronze egret]

Me too

Anything to game acceptance rates

[void tulip]

hey

do i need to self report sat scores sgain somewhere?

[obtuse hull]

this is most likely SCOIR. that's how it works for all schools. you submit your writing supplement on your portal.
you can't receive it for Common app until you have submitted your writing supplement on Common app

[tame sandal]

ohh

On commonapp tho it is split

U may not receive portal but u submit at diff times

And the supp can be late

“late”

[crude creek]

wsg gang

[opaque mulch]

w

[obtuse hull]

yeahhhh

[vague notch]

Anyone deferred writing a LOCI?

If you are, when should you send it off?

[unique musk]

deferred student here - im writing around jan 10th but u could start r/now

[dark onyx]

hell nah

man this is just sad

unless the ao is kinda freaky

[white oriole]

nah coz do they accept appliations a couple days past the deadline?

[trail crow]

💀 you should email them and ask

[tame sandal]

.

[tropic vector]

https://tenor.com/view/prodeunb-emojwn-dog-scared-worried-gif-25049416

[distant field]

hey yall for cornell's supplemntal can we add research papers?

[candid wasp]

chat i don't think i'll apply to yall afterwards 😭

[plush sage]

how did u reach out to do and conduct research im looking to do that but not sure how to tho

[knotty sky]

does anyone feel like they cldve had made their supps better after the fact 😭

[atomic tusk]

yeahh

but it is what it is

[knotty sky]

feel like they cldve been a lot better ...

[tame sandal]

what is a DO

and this is a question for #🏹-extracurriculars

[hearty summit]

wait so what is this extension business

is it only if we submitted the commonapp alr

i assume if they take my payment its fine?

[tame sandal]

Did u submit late..

[hearty summit]

i ain’t even submit yet LOL

[tame sandal]

Oh

[hearty summit]

i dropped cornell but it’s still on my commonapp

so like

if it’s till the 15th

[weak stag]

i think there’s an extension until the 15th if u email them and ask but idk

[hearty summit]

why not

[tame sandal]

We dont want ur late submissions 🖐️

[tame sandal]

U need to havvesubmitted the commonapp part

[hearty summit]

o

rip

[tame sandal]

Its a supplemental extension

[weak stag]

wish i knew ab this

then i wouldn’t have rushed it x

[tame sandal]

No exactly

Thats why me n riley pissed

We dont want yalls late submissions procrastinators asf

😭

[weak stag]

i only applied to cornell cus i had a dream about getting in so i had 2 days to do an app

[tame sandal]

They extended until feb 15 for supplementals

Our year

[weak stag]

or maybe one day i don’t remmeber

[weak stag]

shut up

what

[tame sandal]

They extended commonapp to jan 15 then u had until feb 15 to finish up essays and stuff

Actually pissed me of

[weak stag]

i’d be so annoyed😭😭😭😭 literally what

i hope this is not the case here as well

can i withdraw my supps and re edit them

then re submit

[tame sandal]

No i dont think so

[steep siren]

ngl it’s kinda annoying having submitted 3-5 days before the deadline and to see people have extra days but be unprepared w it

i’m sorry if this sounds rude but it’s more of a call out to cornell than anything

[foggy tree]

Yeah same

[tame sandal]

I remember our yr there was also some crisis

Maybe intl

So they extended in order to help w that

[steep siren]

lwky that’s another story tho, why are people waiting till the end of the extended deadline?

idk it’s just werid

[tropic vector]

That's crazyyyy

Last year they extended to the 9th or 10th I think

I remember it being like a week extension

[tame sandal]

and the way they announce the extension after the original deadline 😂

if there is any

[tame sandal]

ig they didnt extend this year then

they wouldve notified by now

cuz this isnt a real extension its just the supps

[tropic vector]

Yeah. Last year they sent an announcement through Cornell Admissions the day after the deadline

I was annoyed for a sec, but I probably would've just waited until the day of the new deadline to start had I known anyways so oh well

[distant field]

hey yall for cornell's supplemntal can we add research papers?

[tame sandal]

i havent heard of ppl doing it

but u can ask admissions

theyre open rn theyll reply

[molten oyster]

i had this question too lmk if you're able to find out

in the optional supplemental materials im also curious

if papers/abstracts are allowed

[tame sandal]

they probably dont

[patent hollow]

did they extend this year

[tame sandal]

not rlly

[tardy trench]

@tame sandal could you answer some questions I have about cornell financial aid

[tame sandal]

idk much but i can try

[tardy trench]

I'm basically clueless aside from fafsa and scholarships

I just did the net price calculator

honestly I barely know where to start aside from applying to scholarships and I already submitted my FAFSA

[tame sandal]

whats the question tho

[unique musk]

for LOCI, this is where i submit, right? also, who do I address it to?

[tame sandal]

dear office of admissions

maybe

[unique musk]

is that where i submit it? ive heard some people say you just email them

[tame sandal]

u can always email

if they dont take it they will tell u to upload

[unique musk]

ah got it

[tame sandal]

like say that they dont take emails and theres a spot on portal to upload

e.g

(not cornell)

[hearty summit]

caltech lo

[cosmic relic]

Will midyear grades be considered for admissions this cycle if my term 1 grades come out after jan 17

My average bumped up almost 15% from soph-senior

[tame sandal]

probably

[unique bear]

Gang

Does this school have interviews

[tropic bay]

Not really

[unique bear]

so I have interviews for 4 schools

zamn

at most

[tropic bay]

Yeah I don't have very many either

[unique bear]

yeah

columbia this school and NU just don't have them ig

so it's just penn princeton harvard duke

[tropic bay]

I got 3: Harvard, Princeton, and MIT

[unique bear]

neat

I'm nervous for harvard the most cause it's actually important

[tropic bay]

Did they already reach out to you?

[unique bear]

no

but they probably will

They give interviews to most people I think

I could be wrong

[tropic bay]

I'm still waiting on mine as well

[unique bear]

but like if you're good enough academically I think you get an interview

princeton hasn't given me one yet either but that's prolly cause they haven't marked my test scores as received even though they were sent

[tropic bay]

Kinda stressful not knowing whether or not you'll actually get one

[unique bear]

might email them if it's not marked as sent by thursday

[tropic bay]

Idk why Princeton is like the only school that requires official test scores before being admitted

[unique bear]

people with 2.8 gpas get interviews

so like

you probably will get one

[tropic bay]

Oh wow

Yeah that's reassuring lol

[unique bear]

well depends on region

I thnk

[tropic bay]

Yeah it's heavily dependent on availability

[tame sandal]

^

[tardy trench]

How do I get a financial based scholarship

[tame sandal]

idk

but cornell gives need based

[tardy trench]

Wdym by need based

[tropic bay]

They cover a majority of your tuition based on your household's annual income

[unkempt scarab]

yo if i submitted my writing supplemental 4 days late am i cooked

i forgot to submit the writing part

and i submitted it earlier today

like ion really even care about cornell but i feel like i just wasted 85$

[tame sandal]

they meet what u need via the calculator

pretty decently

[ancient hamlet]

cornell interview requests when

💔

[dark onyx]

there is no cornell interview

[ancient hamlet]

wait deadass?

im stupid

[dark onyx]

unfortunately there is no interview

[ancient hamlet]

i thought it was like the upenn interview

[dark onyx]

with the exception of some video portfolios for some of the colleges

[ancient hamlet]

like you just get to talk with a dude

[dark onyx]

you could try to connect with an AO

[ancient hamlet]

wait they actually dont do anything?

[dark onyx]

but they arent required to do so and probably wont

unfortunately yes

[tropic vector]

Interviews are not for the application

You can request an interview with an alumni but only for your benefit to learn more about the school/ask questions

[ancient hamlet]

yea ik theyre like upenn

you just get to talk with a student or alumnus and ask about the school

but not one college has even given me that so far 💔

[tame sandal]

its based on avail

like ur location

[ancient hamlet]

oh god dammit

[tame sandal]

also someone said it wasnt on the application this year

at least for engineering

idk

[ancient hamlet]

oh

[tame sandal]

it was a button on the application to opt in

[ancient hamlet]

yeahh my region is cooked

[tame sandal]

if u didnt have it ig they arent doing it this yr

[ancient hamlet]

yea

[hoary herald]

Does cornell accept research as supplementals? If so, is it abstract or full papers?

[tame sandal]

probably not

[cedar jacinth]

i was wondering the same

ik other schools allow research abstract submissions but i didnt know what included supp info

[hoary herald]

I’m emailing them just waiting for a response

[unkempt ibex]

Do you guys think Cornell is still accepting letters of recommendation?

[frosty garnet]

yes

[timid cave]

Good luck to everyone who applied through RD btw !

[dense solstice]

i sent my abstract

worst case they wont read it

[spice island]

Thank you 😊

[spice island]

I added mine in the resume section only ehehe

[distant harbor]

🔥

[cyan cedar]

did u send it thru this?

on the portal

[dense solstice]

yes

[digital nymph]

for a loci, would i submit under "ed postpone correspondence?"
also, could i submit like end of this month? (jan 25th-30th?)

i'm js checking because ive seen some people say mid-jan to end of jan, but i think i'll have more meaningful updates end of jan

[noble cedar]

ty

[tame sandal]

yeah end of month is fine

unsure abt category

id have expected itd be supplemental material

idk what ed postpone means

[unique musk]

yeah i think u submit through supp material

[digital nymph]

ah okay bet tysm guys!

[prime jungle]

im working on a resaerch project but still on it but have an abstract, can i submit it to optional materials?

[hoary herald]

Yes

you can submit a paper if u wanted

[cyan cedar]

A whole paper? Or just abstract

Also hey

[hoary herald]

hi

[hoary herald]

i asked paper or abstract in my og email

they said either

[cyan cedar]

Hmm

Ima just send abstract

They’re not gonna read the whole paper lol

[buoyant acorn]

how do I submit my sat scores?

are the scores I put on common app good?

or do i have to submit again

[tame sandal]

Yeah

[slate walrus]

@tropic vector yoooo the guy responded

i been talking to him

he seems chill

hes the aviation advisor

[tropic vector]

LT Durst

He's super chill

He never responded to me when I was a prospective student

[slate walrus]

ripppp

the way hes talking is like im already in and going 😭

he chill af

i applied IM to engineering tho so i might be cooked

we'll see how this progresses....

[tropic vector]

Yeah he's super chill. Our classes were scheduled to be at 0700 and he always said 0720 unless admin was there to observe. And most of the time he did a 5 or 10 minute lecture then kahoots or just let us go early

He's super chill. Insanely fit, too it's crazy

He won the CUIDC weight lifting competition. He beat everyone with a 400 pound deadlift and was still moving super fast without breaking a sweat

[slate walrus]

what the fuckkkk

bro these pilots man

😭

🤣

[stable falcon]

honestly I'd attach the whole shebang and let them choose. if the abstract is on the top of the paper, then either they read the abstract and stop (OK) or they keep on reading for a bit (even better!)

either way, you have nothing to lose by attaching the whole thing

[cyan cedar]

ur right

i should send it all

[sullen karma]

hi guys

are you guys able to login to the portal

can yall check

[slate walrus]

Yea I just see the accepted portal

Why

[sullen karma]

[sullen karma]

[slate walrus]

Joking I haven't checked

No point checking rn anyway

[sullen karma]

[ancient hamlet]

[spice island]

#📝-essays message 👀

[hoary herald]

was it on the portal or commonapp

[spice island]

Ig they send email

[tame sandal]

Yes

Commonapp

[hoary herald]

okay

[tame sandal]

Its optional since its not assessed

[hoary herald]

For some reason on my commonapp downloaded app I don’t see a section for it

So I just hope I selected it lol

[tame sandal]

Its just meet w alumni to know more abt cornell

[hoary herald]

oh they’re not evaluative ?

[tame sandal]

Its availability based

[tame sandal]

Yeah i heard others this cycle say it wasnt there

[strange palm]

how much does sibling legacy matter

[bronze egret]

A rly random amt for cornell

[strange palm]

oh damn okay thanks

[unique musk]

yo can any cornell students do one last look over my LOCI

[tardy trench]

p sure sibling legacy has no impact on your application for any college

[tropic vector]

Why did the workload for my winter course pick up so much in the final week
I took it for the easy A

[tame sandal]

karma

im relaxing into mine now lol

[tropic vector]

No cause we have two major projects due this week he even admitted that in a normal class, students get weeks or at least a good month or two to brainstorm for

I already finished this composition last week and he made an announcement he's only grading the rationale for how we created it vs how it actually sounds cause we only got a few days to do it vs weeks 💀

Luckily I know music theory and have performing experience so bonus points for sounding good lmao

[tame sandal]

love the grading in summer and winter

[tropic vector]

Yeah the grading has been really easy

The average is typically an A- but he's given me full marks every single assignment so far

Knock on wood tho cause I dont want to jinx that for my projects

[strange palm]

what if we're twins though

[bronze egret]

Wait is your sibling already at cornell

[frosty garnet]

id say it does

[strange palm]

yeah got in ED

different school in cornell though

[bronze egret]

Ohh

Won’t mean too much then I imagine

Which college r yall both doing/did

[valid dagger]

it does at some schools

usc considered it before legacy admissions were banned in california

[bronze egret]

Ik a LOT of sibling pairs at cornell

[cerulean shoal]

one of my best friends sister got in this year, he got in the year before

[frosty garnet]

well they're fake banned so lowkey they still probably consider

[valid dagger]

they’re not fake banned dude it’s illegal

[ancient hamlet]

wrong channel

lol

wait no it isn't

[ancient hamlet]

When has an unfair advantage in admissions being illegal stopped USC

[valid dagger]

since they entered a financial crises bc of all the lawsuits they have now lmfao

[ancient hamlet]

What's one more?

Besides, it's only illegal if they find out

isn't legacy illegal from next cycle and not this cycle @valid dagger

[valid dagger]

yes

[valid dagger]

there’s a big difference when it’s expressly forbidden in state law

[frosty garnet]

no but there's no government-attached penalty is what im saying

[valid dagger]

state governments are governments

[frosty garnet]

have you read the law

its practically useless

unfortunately

[valid dagger]

do you know how important the cal grant program is lmfao

you’re making a lot of rash judgments abt something that doesn’t impact you

[frosty garnet]

can you send me the link for this this is very helpful

[valid dagger]

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/admissions/traditional-age/2024/10/01/california-bans-legacy-admissions-all-colleges

[frosty garnet]

i dont know if id jump to calling me rash or judgmental, im just following what ive read, so i very much appreciate you sharing more and thanks for taking the time to send the link too

this is what ive read so i might just be confused https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2024/10/college-admissions-2/

this is what Avi told me the other day so that's what i thought

my bad

is that wrong

[valid dagger]

i mean it’s like. halfway correct

stanford receives much less cal grant funding so it wouldn’t impact them as much but the law was really put into motion bc of usc since it’s such a massive proponent of legacy/donor admissions

it’s a new law and it doesn’t go into effect until the next admissions cycle so we really can’t tell how schools are going to react to it yet

[rancid geyser]

cornell loves twins lowkey

i know of like 3-4 sets of twins just in the freshman class

[frosty garnet]

gotcha thanks

[tame sandal]

idk any twins

at cornell

[tired geode]

around when should i send in my LOCI for cornell? thanks!

[unique musk]

around now lol

[delicate nexus]

Hi guys, im getting ready to erite my loci but i found this link

https://www.engineering.cornell.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/information-postponed-applicants

It doesnt say not to write an LOCI right? Just that its not needed?

[hexed peak]

yeah fr

[hexed peak]

me as well

[rancid geyser]

def the same ppl 😭

[tame sandal]

loci is rarely necessary

people do it bc it displays interest, updates their application that they submitted in like october/november with stuff theyve done in the few months, and gives them a chance to profess their love for the college and reiterate how much theyd be happy to attend

just cuz its not required or necessary doesnt mean u shouldnt do it

[delicate nexus]

Is it too laye to submit it after this week? I have multiple big tests this week that i need to study for since i need to boost/maintain my grade for mid yr report

[tame sandal]

nah u got time

id say latest like first week of feb

like absolutely latest

[delicate nexus]

Oh cool

[tame sandal]

ideally in january

[delicate nexus]

Ok ill try to send it next week

Thx

[hexed peak]

yeah probably lmfao

[sick shore]

Wait does Cornell require submitting financial aid forms in the portal?

How do I get there

I’m so confused, it says I’m missing financial aid documents in this email that I already submitted on IDOC

But it says all the other forms I submitted are there?

Bro

I’m going to call tomorrow and get it sorted out because all of the stuff is already in my IDOC

[unique musk]

I got some questions about the LOCI: which option on the supplementary select form do I choose, and who do I email? (A&S applicant)

[tame sandal]

either supplementary material or u can email the admiussions office and theyll tell u if they entered it in ur file or if they need it uplaoded to portal

i doubt u get points off for not knowing they dont take email updates lol

[unique musk]

alr just did this - imma email r/now ig

[tame sandal]

the email should be listed somewhere in ur portal

i wouldnt do both

😭

[unique musk]

💀 ok

[tame sandal]

if they accept emails itll be in ur file twice

u could email to ask if they take loci via portal or email

[unique musk]

👍 (im jus stressing out)

[tame sandal]

and say u alrdy uploaded

but dont email them ur loci again

ykwim

[unique musk]

do i email regional AO or like gen admissions office

[tame sandal]

regional if ur given one

[unique musk]

lemme check

it has all this stuff but its the same email

[tame sandal]

yeah then just [email protected]

[ornate spindle]

wait whats the opt supplemental

[unique musk]

optional supplemental materials not another essay lol

[tardy trench]

How bad do my grades need to be to get rescinded

[tame sandal]

like

Cs

[tardy trench]

A to Bs are good then

Bet

[bronze egret]

[tropic bay]

Can I meet the 1 unit chemistry requirement by taking a cc chemistry course over the summer that is equivalent to 1 year of hs chemistry?

[flint bronze]

[hearty summit]

since im applying CAS the only essays are on the supplement

and it can come by the 31st

[tropic vector]

@tame sandal

[tame sandal]

I saw

[tropic vector]

[tame sandal]

Im not commenting on these wackos

Bc they dont deserve to have their apps read

Cornell just fiening for money

[tropic vector]

Lmfao

[flint bronze]

if id have known it was gonna get extended to the 31st i would written a better endingfor my cas essay

[hearty summit]

done

ima do supps l8r

[cyan cedar]

they gave extensions

not sure why tho...

[wet hemlock]

they gave extensions

[cyan cedar]

ig they really want those app fees

some evil person lied

💀

[wet hemlock]

is it possible not enough ppl applied???

[potent pawn]

I am cooked

[cyan cedar]

i mean cornell is an ivy

i doubt they lack applications

[wet hemlock]

ikr but why the extension?

[cyan cedar]

true

[meager ether]

How should I address my interviewer

In email

First name or last name

[wet hemlock]

yall think maybe their guesstimated their acceptance rate was gonna have to go up?

[potent pawn]

Last name only

[wet hemlock]

so they want more ppl

[meager ether]

Ok

[cyan cedar]

I said first name bc thats how she introudced herself

[wet hemlock]

I did Mr. / Ms. last name

[tame sandal]

Exactly why i dont support 😂

[potent pawn]

Addressing by first name if your not on a good basis with them is a bad idea

[wet hemlock]

if they have a phd, md, or any doctorate behind their name, it's "Dr."

[cyan cedar]

she didnt say her last name so i just addressed her as her first name

[tame sandal]

In first email or reply

[wet hemlock]

I agree

[tame sandal]

But they did actually extend to 31

So.

[potent pawn]

Except if said person is an MD and is talking to a PhD in which case they get called Mr. 💀

[cyan cedar]

💀

[meager ether]

Reply to their interview request

[wet hemlock]

if they tell me explicitly during the interviews I'll def change how I address

[flint bronze]

who lied?

[tame sandal]

Then what is the clown in this thread saying

[meager ether]

Also in interview in person how should I address them

[wet hemlock]

really??? also u applied to 41 schools??

[tame sandal]

They will

[potent pawn]

Yeah

[tame sandal]

If the commonapp lets them

[meager ether]

First reply to their email they sent asking for interview time

[cyan cedar]

wasnt there like

an extension on commonapp

[wet hemlock]

i heard doctors / professors address e/o as drs

maybe its their choice

[tame sandal]

ik abt that but their portal shows extension from multiple ppl so

Ah ic

[cyan cedar]

fuck maybe the reason my interviewer didnt reply was bc i called her by her first name 💀

[potent pawn]

Physicians, in my experience, rarely address non Medical Doctorates with "Dr."

[cyan cedar]

but in my defense she never told me her last name

[tame sandal]

Guys do not call a dr anything less

[cyan cedar]

soooo

naur dont worry

we have time

i only got mit

[tame sandal]

Who was asking how to refer to someone in emails

[cyan cedar]

waiting for others

[tame sandal]

If ur emailing first, highest title last name.

If ur replying, u can retain that to be safe or use what they signed off with

[cyan cedar]

dr usally is followed by last name tho right

[tame sandal]

Cornell aint even strongly feed weill

[potent pawn]

Would you put Sir ahead of like Dr? It's confusing

[cyan cedar]

welp

[tame sandal]

Id put Dr

[cyan cedar]

well my interviewer has a phd

[tame sandal]

Harder to get

[potent pawn]

No like a legitimate Sir

[tame sandal]

I know

Sir just means u own land

[potent pawn]

Like Sir Richard Branson

[tame sandal]

😭

[wet hemlock]

[cyan cedar]

[wet hemlock]

don't put sir

[tame sandal]

Bro i could be a sirr

[cyan cedar]

[tame sandal]

[potent pawn]

So Sir/Dame isn't proper?

[tame sandal]

[meager ether]

What’s a good reply to an email request

For Al

AO

So no mention of Cv right

[tame sandal]

Whats an email request

[meager ether]

For an interview

Like I shouldn’t say please lmk if I should bring cv

[tame sandal]

You can

Thats not a red flag

Just unnecessary

Which college did u apply to

[meager ether]

CAs

[tame sandal]

In c ornell

Oh

Its an alum

Not an AO

it is not that deep

[meager ether]

Ok 👍

[tame sandal]

Its a conversation

They will likely ask u for questions

And not ask u questions

CAS is arts and sci

CALS is agri

Its ok i saw an applicant put college of letters and science

[meager ether]

Is it weird if I say I’m delighted to meet u on x day

[tame sandal]

In their essay

[tame sandal]

Id rather be lighter with looking forward to meeting u

[meager ether]

Or should I be like I’m available Z

[tame sandal]

But personal preference

[meager ether]

Gotcha

[tame sandal]

Oh if u havent given availability yet

Just say ur availability

Dont be presumptuous abt when ur meeting

Yeah

I applied and matriculated Engineering and internal transferred to CAS

Im doubling in cognitive science and information science

In the interview?

No it was me asking her questions

Cuz its non evaluative

I loved my interviewer

I called her after decisions

And she was so nice

I just asked how transition was to lifestyle

From our area to ithaca

And she was like perfectly matching my majort track

And she had kids in the cycle above me

Who had applied and been thru it all

Lowkey didnt talk abt myself at all other than a little bit abt why major

No 😅

I havent talked to her since

Im bad at keeping in contact w people

😭

I ghost my friends on break

Its bad

🙏

My mental is a temple until im back in like 3 days 💀

[meager ether]

Wait Ms last name

Is a safe bet right

Assuming I don’t know the marriage status of interviewer

[tame sandal]

Yeah if u cant find anything by google

Ms is marital neutral

Miss and Mrs arent

I feel like miss is rude if yk theyre married

It makes me feel like a child

😭😭

Omg or a servant owner

💀

[meager ether]

Omg

😭

all my interviewers r white woman ngl

[tame sandal]

My mit interviewer was an Asian dad who had a daughter in her freshman year at my hs and played tennis with the physics teacher i mentioned

And he had an md

💀

[meager ether]

Should I ask if they want a CV or does that sound pretentious

Given I have a white female AO who is 33

[tame sandal]

Again its not an AO i wouldnt

As s said u can bring one but dont like announce it or hand it to them unless they ask

The only colleges with like evaluative interview at cornell are AAP

[meager ether]

Gotcha thanks !

[hearty summit]

cornell literally extended deadline on my CA til the 16th lmao

[bronze egret]

You don’t need to for college interviews?

Yeah that’s not what you do 😭

It’s just a yap shesh

[spice island]

Conversationalism

[tame sandal]

He had a roommate

[tropic vector]

Oh just to do it?

[tame sandal]
