Cornell University (2024-2025)

[ancient hamlet]

gotta be full of shit

[uncut sage]

nolan is in sc johnson

so they aren’t full of shit but it’s not dyson

[rugged walrus]

ithaca i will be in you shortly

[urban ivy]

what a way with words you have

[rugged walrus]

i know right

[solemn nexus]

did anyone that chose double consideration dyson/nolan with primary consideration to dyson get a nolan decision last few days?

[split kettle]

Reyansh college is better

[alpine osprey]

did anyone get a cornell dc start form?

from brooks school of public policy

[sinful forum]

yes

is this a good sign?

[alpine osprey]

idk

hopefully

..

[sinful forum]

why is the due date march 9th

only 3 more days...

[alpine osprey]

idk

i think i expressed interest before

not sure

[tropic vector]

Snow melting, lots of rain, more snow -> aggressive gorges

[split kettle]

that a banger spot to take a dip in

[cursive wind]

I got it too

[fossil merlin]

Hi what the FUCK

😭

Ive seen u send this damn waterfall throughout every season bro

First frozen now wtf this is

[spice island]

i'd jump

[uncut sundial]

quite the opposite tbh

[uncut sundial]

oh yeah holy shit it was bad today

absolute torrent, looked cool af

I have a close up video

[urban ivy]

please let me study cheme near nature

please let me in cornell i love you i will die for you

[uncut sage]

go to dartmouth

[urban ivy]

didnt apply 💔

also theyre not ranked really high for cheme iirc

[uncut sage]

go to uiuc

study corn

[urban ivy]

oh they dont even have chemical engineering

[urban ivy]

i got in

zero aid 😹

fml

[uncut sage]

damn you’re running low on options, I guess you’ll have to go to cornell then

[urban ivy]

on skibidi

CORNELL PLEASE LET ME IN 🗣️

[half thunder]

🔥 🔥 🔥

[flint bronze]

Real

[bronze egret]

Prob not

Theyre trying to increase class size

And see who would be open

I would honestly not opt into it

Just do cornell in Wash later

[sinful forum]

true

i said yes

because they said that u dont have to commit

[bronze egret]

It’ll help admissions slightly

But it’s a brand new program

I wouldn’t do it first year

[sinful forum]

yea true

i said yes cuz yk gotta let them know im interested 😭 🤞

but in the form they said that even if you get admitted you dont need to go

[bronze egret]

It’ll prob be conditional acceptance

Like u don’t gotta go but if u wanna go to cornell it’ll be through that

Like PSSP

again it’s a sem it Washington DC it’ll be fun just new program meh

[sinful forum]

ohh

[uncut sundial]

cornell is goated for cheme

[spice island]

😭🫸bro don't disrespect like that I am a chemical/environmental engineering major who applied there...it's not the engineering that matters there, it's dartmouth itself but yeah valid

[urban ivy]

yess praying i get in 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[young aspen]

me too cheme and i got in 🥳

cornell let me in

[ancient hamlet]

wait so

when did the application end up closing??

and will all of the apps submitted by the final adjusted deadline be given equal consideration??

[flint bronze]

still cant get over the fact that cornell extended the deadline to march

[flint bronze]

probably

[tawdry rivet]

What?

Like for all schools?

[flint bronze]

i think so yeah

cause on the common app it said deadline was extended to march

so you could technically submit apps up until then

[unkempt ibex]

Anyone who applied to engineering, have yall gotten anything back yet?

[chrome roost]

You mean decisions?

bc if so, all decisions will be released on mar 27

[unkempt ibex]

Oh damn

Ok good to know

[fallow flame]

is ilr out yet?

[dark onyx]

i dont think so

[fleet birch]

wdym i thought that was literally in the portal itself

i filled that out back in jan lol

[pliant jay]

hi i thought that too but they ended up withdrawing my app

[flint bronze]

oh 💀

[pliant jay]

yea i think that might be for transfer apps

[uncut sage]

they withdraw ur app!???

[valid dagger]

you would have had to be granted an extension from the admissions office

[valid dagger]

if you submit late and you don't have an approved extension they can and likely will withdraw your application yes

[ancient hamlet]

oh ok

so the 'march 2' deadline wasnt for everyone?

[valid dagger]

no

you had to be approved for an extension

if it was for everyone they would have announced it

[ancient hamlet]

i see

[alpine osprey]

LMFAO

who emailed cornell asking if they got in bruh 😭

[valid dagger]

northeastern moment

[fleet birch]

LMAOOO

[timid cave]

Just submitted my transfer option application 😶

[uncut sage]

did you get a guaranteed transfer option?

Also did anyone here get an ILR likely

[tame sandal]

At 4am

Dont come here

[neat flax]

looks like a hotel

w the fire exit 😭

or is it in the hotel

cause of nolan

[kindred prism]

This is kind of silly but can anybody tell me more about the cornell smart city initiative they're apparently doing in Ithaca?

[kindred prism]

I personally don't care that much but a friend of mine lives there and he's endlessly complaining about it / saying it'll track people

[bronze egret]

The what

[kindred prism]

I don't know I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they read it on Facebook

(I know they're being stupid about it I just want to refute it)

[bronze egret]

No like what is it

I have yet to hear abt that

[kindred prism]

They just said it was something about turning Ithaca into a smart city

[bronze egret]

Def not

[buoyant acorn]

I once went to this small italian restaurant when I was visiting cornell (its like rlly close to cornell) the food was ass, expensive, and the ppl there were incredibly racist

Anyone here been to that restaurant?

[bronze egret]

Thompson and bleeker?

Italian but doesn’t fit the rest tho

[alpine osprey]

what race r u

[tropic vector]

When I was at LR6 the fire alarm went off at 2am cause someone's laundry caught on fire

Half the machines no longer worked it was so bad 💀

[flint bronze]

how do you mess up laundry that bad

or did the fresh laundry catch on fire some other way

[tropic vector]

Students don't know how to clean the lint trap

[urban saffron]

Nah. But I emailed and they said they’re finished evaluating my application. So I’d assume I’m rejected already

[dark onyx]

they will prob release all results on ivy day

Dont assume rejection bc no one has said theyve been accepted

At least one would post publicly if they already released acceptances

[urban saffron]

Yeah but they basically said my application is done being reviewed

[dark onyx]

Okay and what did you expect them to say? To tell you you're in/out before everyone else? If they do it for you then they have to do it for anyone emailing.

Actually this came off a bit hostile, but what im trying to say is

They will give u the standard corporate response anytime

So u might be in u might be out

I'd focus on whatever else u have going on in ur life rn and you will know in 2 weeks

[timid sail]

does cornell gives those out?

[dark onyx]

There was a joint ivy league announcement that said ILR will begin mailing out decisions in february

Which was seperate from likely letters

However they havent sent anyone an acceptance/rejection afaik

[timid sail]

wait whats ILR

[dark onyx]

industrial labor relations

a college within cornell

[timid sail]

oh

[dark onyx]

its a very specific program

albeit a very interesting one

Ideal for pre-law, HR related jobs, even government.

[urban saffron]

No I had a rec letter sent last week and asked if they would consider it. They said it was reviewed and review of my application is completed. I didn’t ask for a decision.

[dark onyx]

Okay then they basically told you we have made a decision

And we dont need the rec letter

Which could be any of the 3 decisions

[urban saffron]

Maybe but I’ve heard they don’t finalize admits until like a week or two before

[dark onyx]

u never know, also it has been mentioned that ILR might be releasing early so maybe we will get notified next week

so even if thats true its not necessary that ur rejected

but dont believe the many things u hear lol, its mostly fearmongering

[alpine osprey]

u speculating for 0 reason

calm

[uncut sage]

probably one of the other 2

they either accepted you and are not gonna reject you cuz of it

rejected and aren’t swayed

or maybe even waitlisted and don’t fare about the addtl rec

[noble cedar]

there should be classes in any college if youre dorming that teaches you life skills

ex. doing laundry

[uncut sundial]

there should be

there prob is tbh

but like it should be required lowkey

[small jungle]

hi

[bronze egret]

Laundry should be taught before college

But if not it’s pretty self explanatory

[noble cedar]

fr

[tame sandal]

Why would i be living in the hotel

😭😭

[neat flax]

idk

bc

cornell is a hotel schol

😎

[flint bronze]

cornell hotel

[unkempt ibex]

How we feeling RD people

[flint bronze]

i can feel my rejection from two planets away

[unkempt ibex]

Nah bro you got it

[uncut sage]

Likelies come out in 4 days?

[meager ether]

Am I delusional I’m getting so many calls from not my contacts rn

I blocked all

But I have a tiny slimmer oh hope

They r likely calls

And I’m so scared I blocked them

[wise nexus]

As an intl asking for aid I don't have to wait for decision day

[unkempt ibex]

I think decisions is end of march

Rifht

[wise nexus]

26

[uncut sage]

27th*

[wise nexus]

Oh

Oh yeah

[half thunder]

Cooked

[gleaming heron]

i did cals too

wondering if i shouldve done cas or dyson

[bronze egret]

What major lmfao

Those r all very diff

[gleaming heron]

i did environmental sustainabilty at cals, i have a mix between leadership/business ecs and envi sci ecs

definitely

[neat flax]

@bronze egret r u at dyson

[tame sandal]

dont come to cornell

im dying in deadlines

we all live in fake hotel rooms

our only reward is weird stickers from solicitors tabling outside ur classrooms

[bronze egret]

Ooooo cool u could def do Econ minor too

[bronze egret]

What’s up

[bronze egret]

U have such bad luck with dorms

[tame sandal]

no that was a joke at someone asking me if i lived in a hotel

bc we attend cornell.

[bronze egret]

Tbf they did during covid

[tame sandal]

it was mostly the second thing i said

[gleaming heron]

i know i can potentially double major with dyson if i get in, but im scared i wont get in to dyson once im there, And my ultimate goal is to double major in business + envi sci

[tame sandal]

then apply dyson

..?

[bronze egret]

Too late for that

Most kids do Dyson then double in cals

Idk any that do it the other way

There prob are some tho

[uncut sage]

well… get into cornell first

then worry about double majors

that’s such a minor issue rn

[gleaming heron]

ik thats why i said IF i get in

i saw some kid who did cals first then dyson, but atp even if i get into cornell im prob wouldn't go to avoid the risk

[uncut sage]

well cornell is cornell

overall prestige > major-based

[buoyant acorn]

Ehh

Not rlly

Bros cooked if he commits and wants to do biz but gets rejected from dyson

Now hes stuck with cals

Also cornell is not like at all a top g of the top gs

Yknow what i mean

?

[uncut sage]

i mean

you can still do cas econ

or ilr or nolan

jobs aren’t going to differ that much

[buoyant acorn]

Its like umich’s ross and lsa program

You can do econ at lsa but you’ll miss out on opportunities that ross kids get

And itll be harder in some ways than ross

[uncut sage]

the only part that’s significantly harder is coursework

[gleaming heron]

first off im a girl

and yeah i think id rather go somewhere i can do business guaranteed

[buoyant acorn]

My bad queen

[crude creek]

wsg gang

[tame sandal]

Nothinf

[tame sandal]

U can just minor in biz whats the fat deal

Many ppl go nolan or cas econ instead of dyson

It is not that deep

[uncut sage]

did cornell send out likelies last year?

[maiden musk]

should be 15th

[oblique bough]

Hey does anyone know if undergraduates can work at the Carl Sagan Institute?

or is it seperate from the university

[tame sandal]

Probably

[uncut sundial]

they do iirc

[uncut sundial]

second semester is harder than first so far

Imm do St. Pats stuff this weekend and then a prelim Monday morning 🫠

[misty tulip]

if i got deferred ED what chances roughly do i have?

[crude creek]

mines been better i think?

[crude creek]

doesnt mean much

[misty tulip]

😭

[bronze egret]

My prof runs it

Lmk if u need contact info

[uncut sage]

can i get a likely in 2 days 👉👈

[neat flax]

is that whne they come out

[uncut sage]

for most schools yeah

i think ilr works differently but idk, they haven’t sent out early acceptances yet

[neat flax]

u know anything about dyson?

[oblique bough]

omg Dr. Kaltenegger?

[gleaming heron]

i just got an email about submitting more financial aid. anyone else ?

[half dock]

i didn't get it

but i sent all the financial aid stuff back in like november

[gleaming heron]

this is the same thing yale asked me for

ugh have to fill it out all over again

😦

theyre asking me to upload the docs through cornell secure upload or something, what's wrong with idoc 😭

[bronze egret]

Yup

I love Lisa

[oblique bough]

how come u study under her if ur in finance btw?

[bronze egret]

Like half my class is finance kids

[oblique bough]

isnt she astrobiology???

[bronze egret]

People take other fun classes lmao

[oblique bough]

ohhh hahaha

[bronze egret]

She does Astro 2201

[oblique bough]

yea yeah

[bronze egret]

Astro for non Astro majors

[oblique bough]

does she take undergrads for research

[bronze egret]

I haven’t asked

I imagine she may

[oblique bough]

got it

[bronze egret]

She does like a million things at once

Less research and more space missions tho

[oblique bough]

O:

even cooler

[bronze egret]

Yeah she did TESS

[oblique bough]

TESS?

[bronze egret]

She was talking abt that one recently

She designed it yeah

Like her idea and everything

[oblique bough]

sorry i havent heard of that

not cuz its like unpopular but bcoz i live under a rock!!

[bronze egret]

It’s a big one for discovering exoplanets

That’s kinda her whole thing

[oblique bough]

O:

[bronze egret]

Possible life on other planets

[oblique bough]

yeaaa

do you know if shes doing any of that rn?

like specifically any project

[bronze egret]

Yeah she’s def working on some

With Nobel laureates and shit

No harm is asking her

[oblique bough]

;o

[bronze egret]

I usually take classes with profs before I ask for research tho

Maybe do her class next sem

[oblique bough]

i am not a cornell student :# i am applying to transfer

which is why i asked. i wanted to write abt her in my essays

but i didnt know if she still did stuff w undergrads

[oblique bough]

this is smart tho

[bronze egret]

Ohhh

She def doesn’t do non cornell kids

Idk any profs that do tbh

[oblique bough]

right right

but i am applying to transfer

to Cornell

and in my essays, i wanted to write about working with her as one of my goals

but I didn't know if she / the CSI took on non-faculty

[bronze egret]

Not to my knowledge

Also it’s mid semester rn

Wait when r u applying to transfer

[oblique bough]

fall 2025

[oblique bough]

Thank you

[bronze egret]

Oh what

Is that like a diff cycle

[oblique bough]

Hmm I guess so

My application is due the 15th

[bronze egret]

Oh right transfer is latee

[oblique bough]

:D

[unkempt ibex]

Hoping for a likely letter

[dusty mirage]

do yk abt ecology?

[uncut sage]

only nolan and ilr are known to send early acceptances

[cosmic relic]

confirmed in 2 days?

or wha

[unkempt ibex]

not sure

[gleaming heron]

ive never heard of likely letters coming out on saturday

[unkempt ibex]

theyll prob come out tmr if they do

[uncut sage]

it’s come out on 15th march every year

at least since like 2022

they dgaf about what day of the week it is

[unkempt ibex]

ah

[cosmic relic]

does everyone school within cornell do it or select specifics

[uncut sundial]

didn't you get a >4.0 gpa last semester???

how can u do better?

or do u mean better in other ways?

[crude creek]

u can get even higher

u can always do better

[uncut sundial]

bro

[crude creek]

and i think like ive bene getting higher scores

[uncut sundial]

I can't

[crude creek]

like last semest i did worse and got curved up

this sem i think im just doing good

[uncut sundial]

It is impossible for me top get a higher GPA than I did last sem 😭

I can only do worse

[crude creek]

and my clubs and stuff r going well

why not

[uncut sundial]

that's good

[crude creek]

its all about mindset bro

u cant think taht u cant do better

[uncut sundial]

It's almost impossible to get that many A+s

[crude creek]

well idk what u got last sem

but u can still aim for getting an a in every class

like honestly i just want above a 3.8 over 4 yrs

[uncut sundial]

I had like 3 A+s

my courses were slightly easier than this sem tho

[crude creek]

nice

[uncut sundial]

I did like mid by my standards on all my first prelums

tbh I should prob just lock tf in and skip st patty stuff this weekend

then I can ace bio and chem next week

but also like... fomo

[uncut sundial]

thats the goal yeah

[urban saffron]

15th or today since tmr is a Saturday?

[urban saffron]

Yea but 15th then was all weekdays

[uncut sage]

why would they care about the day of the week

[bronze egret]

Don’t expect likelies

They’re extremely rare

[quick sinew]

When does rd come out?

[mossy jay]

27th

7pm probs

[tropic vector]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-gif-20968675

Me when my courses don't offer A+ or only give them to the top 5 students 🫡

CALS please take me I'm so done with this engineering bullshit I'm trying to go to med school 😭

[uncut sundial]

ur transferring already? 😭

[tropic vector]

I don't have a choice lol. Rotc + premed + engineering doesn't work

[uncut sundial]

I mean yeah any engineering classes or any class with a curve i feel like is much harder to get an A+ in

[uncut sundial]

like u dont have enough time?

[tropic vector]

No, like it's literally not possible. I can't take all my required courses

I took max credits last semester this semester and I'm still behind in engineering requirements because I couldn't take more than 20

Even next semester I'll have to take five 4 credit courses + my rotc classes. That's 25 credits

Literally not even allowed lol

[uncut sundial]

oh shit

yeah thats hell

you'd need to CASE or have a lot of AP credit for that to be possible

[tropic vector]

My AP credit isn't relevant lol it's all history and the credit I do have wouldn't be accepted since BME doesn't take it

So much fun

CALS said my application is perfect since 90% of my courses roll over and I have a valid reason so just praying that's true 🙏

[uncut sundial]

yeah ur prob chilling then

what major will u be switching to?

R u gonna be bio now as well?

[tropic vector]

Bio

Neurobiology concentration

[uncut sundial]

oh same

might share some classes next sem

[tropic vector]

If I get accepted I'll be taking biog 1440, 1500, chem 3570 and one other class I've yet to decide on

Probably liberal studies or I can take a stats

[uncut sundial]

alr

i might take that chem

and maybe 1440 idk I wanna take something else tbh

Imma def take the intro neurobio class

on animal behavior

biog1500 is the biggest waste of time class ever though

[gleaming heron]

omg i applied to cals this cycle. do yt its worth it?

[uncut sage]

worth what tho

depends on what “it” is innit?

[gleaming heron]

are the job placements good out of college

is there good support

also how easy is it to either minor with dyson or double major? because I know CALS and the Applied Economics major are sort of in the same college

but applied economics is also in dyson

[bronze egret]

Placement is v good

[fossil merlin]

did likelies come out today i need something to satisfy my hunger

[oblique bough]

what are likelies

[mossy jay]

mmm idk maybe tmr

or maybe none at all idk

😭😭

[bronze egret]

Hear back early

[uncut sundial]

yes very good imo

all colleges in cornell have good support and placements

you all get the a degree from Cornell it's not too different

[oblique bough]

Thank you

[uncut sage]

home college is crazy

[bronze egret]

Yeah

Bachelor in xyz

It’ll be major

Bachelor in applied econ

Wouldn’t Day ay cornell Dyson just that

[ruby falcon]

are likelies coming tomorrow

[uncut sage]

only a few people know, and they’re all in ithaca rn

unless the AOs don’t live there

maybe syracuse

food for thought

[void tulip]

whats a likely

[gleaming heron]

so cornell likelies tomorrow?

[unkempt ibex]

Hoping for likelies for us all

[maiden musk]

Do all schools do likely or js the bigger ones like cas

[tired zodiac]

do we have a projected time or is just gonna be rolling all day

[unkempt ibex]

No clue

I’m just as lost as the rest of yall lmao

I only rlly heard of likelies abt two weeks ago

I just know they’re rare as hell

[tired zodiac]

I've known about likelies, I just don't get any

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-cleveland-cavaliers-interview-thinking-gif-15889826

[unkempt ibex]

I know one kid from my school got one for Columbia

But he was like

Rich and has plenty of opportunities to build himself up

[tired zodiac]

two people I know got likelies. One got a likely from William & Marry and the other got one from Amherst

[unkempt ibex]

Oh I didn’t know places other than ivies did them

[tired zodiac]

many top schools do them

[unkempt ibex]

Interesting

[urban saffron]

Likely day? On a Saturday?

[young aspen]

does cornell do likelies for internationals?

[alpine osprey]

havent seen one

evet

ever

[young aspen]

kk

[alpine osprey]

'for any school

to give to an intl

unless sports

[young aspen]

ok thanks

[uncut sage]

This I have

cornell specifically? idk

[alpine osprey]

rlly

which ivy+

[uncut sage]

almost all of them?

columbia & harvard

duke probably did but idk ppl like that

[alpine osprey]

ah okay

didnt know

dat

[bronze egret]

Likelies tend to be for FGLI

[uncut brook]

Does anyone know if roommates are random or selected?

[bronze egret]

Selected

U can go random if u want tho

[proud furnace]

when do corn hell likelies come out (i love cornell i'm j kidding)

[tame sandal]

U should not be expecting one

Assume any notice comes out decision say

[proud furnace]

yeah true 😭

[oblique bough]

What’s ur pfp

It’s so nice

[proud furnace]

thank youu, it's from The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t A Guy At All manga!

[oblique bough]

crazy name!!

[proud furnace]

yeahh

i like your jjk one!

[fossil merlin]

no likelies 👎

(im going insane give me a sign)

(pwetty pwease)

[proud furnace]

wait do they just not have them this year

again i'm not going delulu j wondering

[fossil merlin]

i have no clue 💔

[oblique bough]

tyyy :))

[torpid osprey]

WAIT I KNEW IT LOOKED FAMILIAR LMAOOO

[torpid osprey]

if cornell/brown likelies do come out today i'd expect them to come out later

usually likelies come out in the evening-ish or late afternoon

[uncut sage]

brown sends out likelies?

[torpid osprey]

idk someone brought up brown in the likely conversation

idk if they do lmao

[uncut sage]

Columbia came out at 5 EST

[torpid osprey]

yeah if they were coming out they'd come out later

its currently 4:52EST 🤓

[uncut sage]

It’s okay tho, I don’t need a likely I’ll settle for an acceptance 🤓

[proud furnace]

they did them every year except 2024

[torpid osprey]

wait why not last year thats so funny

some people a few years back allegedly got one

[proud furnace]

ikr

no they came out every other year

2021-2023

[bronze egret]

You’ll see soon

Expect no tho

[torpid osprey]

yeah nobody should be expecting a likely

[uncut sage]

I honestly think it has something to do with the article

https://cornellsun.com/2023/03/15/likely-letters-provide-reassurance-raise-confusion-among-cornell-applicants-and-current-students/

[bronze egret]

Cornell daily sun is a joke

[uncut sage]

wait why

[bronze egret]

Horrible newspaper

[uncut sage]

i thought it’s like daily pennsylvanian or whatever

[bronze egret]

Bad people

Everyone treats it as a joke

Very politicalized

[uncut sage]

what way does it lean

[bronze egret]

Every college newspaper leans democrat

It’s just not like nonpartisan at all it’s funny

But no college newspapers aren’t rly that deep usually

[leaden axle]

nah i think it’s just for student athletes

today would be the last day though

[proud furnace]

is this from this year?

[regal eagle]

It's out chat

(bait)

[leaden axle]

i think so

https://admission.brown.edu/apply/how-apply/ivy-league-joint-statement-admissions

that’s the only mention of brown likelies

[tired zodiac]

dw about it

most don't, I didn't. I only know two people who recieved genuine likely letters but they're not from any ivies

one from amherst and one from william & mary. But one is a crazy applicant and the other is also a good applicant but not as crazy

likelies are unlikely

[tired zodiac]

anyone hear anything yet?

[uncut sage]

nah, prob same as last year

[uncut brook]

Haven’t heard anything

[unkempt ibex]

Same

[mossy jay]

ig no likely letters dis year

[tired zodiac]

maybe monday?

bc its a weekend

(keep the hopium up)

[mossy jay]

mm maybe but if not it’s like wtv

we will all get an official decision on the 27th anyway

[tired zodiac]

yep

[pastel copper]

i think ivies have to do it by the 15th?

[tired zodiac]

is that official tho

[sinful forum]

anyone apply for brooks?

[oblique bough]

hey guys does cornell have any good clubs for youth outreach? particularly stuff with kids who rlly need it ("vulnerable youth")

[maiden musk]

yep

[alpine osprey]

ye

[half dock]

hey

the portal still says it hasn't received my mid year transcript

but my counselor sent it over a week ago

anyone else?

[mossy jay]

my portal reflects my mid yr was submitted

[mossy jay]

uhhh

id contact

admissions

[surreal scarab]

Same

[uncut sage]

same

[hasty anvil]

Was it submitted in CommonApp?

[half dock]

no the counselors send it digitally themselves

[cerulean shoal]

corn

[timid cave]

hell

[half dock]

btw if anyone else wondering i called ao's and apparently scoir is sending transcripts through an alias instead of ur actual name so it's not linking with the application

[meager ether]

How is that suppose to work

[half dock]

idk, but i called them and it was easy for them to find it and link it together

[tired zodiac]

i wonder what my alias is

[uncut sundial]

yeah lol

[ruby falcon]

so did anyone get a likely at all

[uncut sage]

no

[unkempt ibex]

Well dang

[small meadow]

Hi

[raven iron]

Did cornell send out likelies?

[mossy jay]

i don’t think so

[small meadow]

If they did, I didn't get one.

[oblique bough]

are you telling me instead of accept/waitlist/reject Cornell starts our by saying “hey we probably accepted you”?

[uncut sage]

no

[proud vessel]

What are my chances for Cornell Dyson if I got accepted Michigan Ross EA

[buoyant acorn]

why do you care

ross is better

[proud vessel]

Just curious, I thought they were on the same level

[buoyant acorn]

nah

ross has a better business program

[alpine osprey]

bro if i say 80%

will u believe me

[proud vessel]

Probably, I just got a recent rejection from another T20 so its just making me think

[neat flax]

nd?

[alpine osprey]

ok it’s 80%

sleep well buddy

[proud vessel]

Yeah lol, it was my almost dream school

[buoyant acorn]

bc?

damn

just go to ross lil bro

[neat flax]

sorry

but

r u instate or out of state mich

maybe i got a shot for mich

[proud vessel]

OOS

[alpine osprey]

my friend w 200k impact in a proj got deferred, ur crazy bruh

mich genuinely nuts

[uncut sage]

independent events

I’d say somewhere around 5%

RD is half so maybe 2.5%

[unique bear]

That’s just the normal acceptance rate

Realistically I think it’s around 10% because a lot of applicants get kicked out because they’re unqualified

Getting into umich ross oos prolly means you’re at least competitive for t20s

[uncut sage]

acceptances are independent

but I get what you’re saying

[unique bear]

yeah I know that's why I'm saying 10% and not 30%

[uncut sage]

imo top state schools have very dif criterion from private t2ps

more stats based vs holistic

[unique bear]

in my experience....ehhh

[uncut sage]

what’s your experience?

[unique bear]

these schools still have their pick of top stats applicants

and defer or reject the majority of them

[uncut sage]

I’ve seen UVA rejects get into Harvard and Columhia

[unique bear]

uva's a special case

[uncut sage]

I’ve seen Ross acceptances get in nowhere

[unique bear]

michigan is very holistic

so is gtech

[uncut sage]

how so

[unique bear]

90% of their class had a 4.0 in HS

[uncut sage]

fr?

I’m in the 10% i guess

UCLA is like that

[unique bear]

meanwhile for michigan

it's 38%

That's what I mean by more holistic

[uncut sage]

still, Umich has a tighter spread of uw gpas

range**

[unique bear]

does it? I don't believe so

harvard is 70% 4.0s

[uncut sage]

and the avg hs gpa for umich was 3.92 so they’re defo still taking high stats kids

probably diff recalculations imo

[unique bear]

Mb

But I know mich’s recalculation lol

[uncut sage]

this I don’t see happening

[unique bear]

Even 90s are converted to 4.0s

[uncut sage]

umich may be holistic

gtech’s spread is cuz they’re really just mid non-stem

i would expect gtech engineering to be high stats kids too

[unique bear]

They don’t just admit everyone with high stats lol

They reject the majority of high stats applicants regardless

[uncut sage]

noone admits everyone with high stats

except safeties

jesus christ unc is 97% 4.0s

[slender pawn]

oh my god

💀

[uncut sage]

how does that even happen

[unique bear]

Yeah it depends on the state school

[unique bear]

Hella inflation bro

[uncut sage]

yeah but like 40% in-state acceptance rate

crazy stuff

[unique bear]

Yeah lol

[unique bear]

Did you apply dyson

[uncut sage]

No, I applied to ILR

Dyson is too competitive

[unique bear]

Fair enough

I did college of engineering

So cooked

[uncut sage]

CoE is based

I mean if you get in its basically the best in the country bar MIT

[unique bear]

Yeah but tbh

I’d go penn over it

💀

[torpid osprey]

i applied coe!

[uncut sage]

Penn SEAS is nice

[torpid osprey]

coe coe coe

[uncut sage]

I got rejected ED from CAS

[unique bear]

We are NOT getting in

Actually you might

I won’t be

[unique bear]

Ts tragic

[uncut sage]

imo both these schools are kinda depressing and have grade deflation

[unique bear]

Penn less so

By a pretty significant margin imo

[uncut sage]

I’m trying to find happiness so I really want a brown or a duke

[torpid osprey]

am i though 😭 🙏

[unique bear]

Trust

[uncut sage]

mhm, it’s still pretty deflatwd

wharton has inflation but SEAS has heavy deflation

[unique bear]

SEAS deflation isn’t actually that had

Bad

From people I’ve talked to

At least it depends on the major

[torpid osprey]

i applied wharton and coe 😭 🙏 depending on where i get in the next four years of my life might be heaven or hell

[unique bear]

CS isn’t awful

chemE is

[uncut sage]

Rhe people ik there say that too but they’re also like the smartest guys I know

so… I don’t trust their judgement on difficulty

[uncut sage]

M&T?

[torpid osprey]

ik a girl at wharton who did finance though and she was so stressed out that she pivoted into healthcare consulting instead

[torpid osprey]

nah ;p

[unique bear]

Penn isn’t MIT bro don’t overthink it

[uncut sage]

sid you get a columbia likely

[uncut sage]

erm ik a penn reject who went to mit

[torpid osprey]

who

[unique bear]

I know a guy who got like a 4 on emag in HS who’s doing just fine

Overrated difficulty

[torpid osprey]

whos sid

[uncut sage]

maybe penn > mit

[unique bear]

It’s tough

But

[uncut sage]

did*** you

[torpid osprey]

oh

[unique bear]

Lmfao

[torpid osprey]

no i got audited though

:p

[unique bear]

I love Penn but no

[unique bear]

You’ll get in

Trust

[torpid osprey]

my counselors were geeking

[uncut sage]

plural?

My counselor needs to lock in

have not spoken to em since app szn and they do not tell me shit

[torpid osprey]

our school has a guidance counselor (1 per 400 students) and a general college career advisor for the whole school

[uncut sage]

not even when colleges email about release dates and stuff

[uncut sage]

same

general college counselor is kinda useless tho

[torpid osprey]

lmao i ran into my guidance counselor a couple weeks ago and she asked me if i heard back from any of my colleges yet

because columbia called her

[torpid osprey]

ohh

for us like a lot of people dont take advantage of her help

like me and a couple friends met with her pretty often in the fall

but most people dont

shes great i love her

[uncut sage]

I speak to her cuz she’s a nice person

but like it’s not going to help ur app process in any way

The only way I stop stressing about ivies and cornell is if I get that williams A 🙏

[torpid osprey]

ive decided to be hopeful

if i get rejected everywhere im gonna be sad anyways

why be even more sad rn

[uncut sage]

I wouldn’t be sad tbh about the results

rather the fact that I spent so long chasing them

I wish I spent more time making more friends or hanging out with my family tbh

hindsight is a bish

[torpid osprey]

fair

tbh i really enjoyed everything ive done

and its given me insane oppurtunities

so in the end i think ill be happy with what ive accomplished

even if the results arent what i was expecting

[fossil merlin]

Ong twin

[bronze egret]

It’s def not for the weak

[wet topaz]

im getting in

[tame sandal]

That is what a likely letter is

[wet topaz]

im about to get a likely letter myself

surely they just forgot to sned the email

they still got sa week

[graceful hull]

they sent me my likely through subliminals while i was sleeping

(had a dream i got in)

[unkempt ibex]

Maybe they just didn’t send any this year?

[proud furnace]

too real

[hoary herald]

corn

[maiden musk]

lemme in pls

[unkempt ibex]

Real

Pls give me money

[dusky plank]

is cornell a straight up school

like if u have 1400 ur out but 1600 yes most likely. or like if u have bad grades but cured cancer ur still out

someone said that

[fluid pewter]

im cooked if thats the case

cus i got a 1400 💀

[tropic vector]

I submitted 1400

It's a holistic view

"Bad" grades don't immediately put you out, but it makes it harder.
Good grades are nothing by themselves. A 1600 alone won't do anything

[timid sail]

^^

a lot of ivies like cornell are super holistic

meanwhile other top tier schools like caltech or mit only really care about the grades and merit awards

[timid sail]

you must've worked some magic with your essays and Ecs tho damn 🗣️

[crude tulip]

what other schools are like this?

[timid sail]

i mean they do care about your ECs too, but they aren't as heavy on it compared to ivies

[crude tulip]

cmu definitely

[timid sail]

georgia tech

and cmu

[crude tulip]

oh yeah makes sense lol

[crude tulip]

yeah thats a given

[timid sail]

rule of thumb is, if theres tech in the name it's probably merit heavy

lol

i dont have those academic stats so i focused on well roundedness

[tame sandal]

id say cmu and gatech depends on ur major

cmu its like

highkey just the business and cs

like eyah the engineering is hard to get in but they do holistic

[crude tulip]

same here, had an upward trend so impacted gpa

[crude tulip]

but more stats based than the other schools right? especially cs-adjacent engineering majors (ece, is, ds)

[tame sandal]

Erm

No i got wl with my dog skit gpa

[wet topaz]

Damn can we swap

My stats good my essays + ecs mid

[buoyant acorn]

What was it?

[tame sandal]

this is not cmu channel

thanks

[surreal scarab]

I didn’t submit sat and got deferred Cornell ed

So I think sat or act is p important

a rejection coming my way

[uncut sage]

My friend got in with a 1430

[surreal scarab]

I just realized I applied to CALS and they’re test blind so I think the importance of standardized testing depends on the college at Cornell

Plus the deferral rate is around 20-25% so everything feels skewed because I’m not a very strong applicant

[uncut sage]

One of the reasons I didn’t apply to dyson was cuz they were test blind

i lowkey need my sat to be considered

[surreal scarab]

Yas

[timid sail]

is ED deferral a good sign 💀

[surreal scarab]

I think maybe? It’s 20-25%

[timid sail]

yeah i got deferred 🥀

[surreal scarab]

And then like say 15% acceptance ed

The rest reject

P good

[surreal scarab]

Twinsss what college did u apply to at Cornell

[timid sail]

all 2 other ppl i know who applied to cornell from my school got in

i got deferred

ion anyone who got rejected

[timid sail]

informatics

[surreal scarab]

I was the only one who applied ed

[surreal scarab]

I def do just check the rejects in this server

[eternal jackal]

dyson is such a silly name for a college

[surreal scarab]

Or Reddit

[timid sail]

sounds like a cleaning agent 😭

[eternal jackal]

imagine studying in a hair straightener college

[surreal scarab]

Agree

[surreal scarab]

LOL

[eternal jackal]

or whatever you can call dyson

[timid sail]

so far my other apps have been going great so

im just holding hope

[uncut sage]

vacuum ahhh school

[surreal scarab]

Mine have not

So

I don’t have much hope

[timid sail]

🫂

ik for a fact im about to be cooked by JHK tmrw tho

[uncut sage]

Nolan is bad too

[timid sail]

my kinda app does not fit their school bruh

[uncut sage]

omni-man school???

ion wanna be associated with that

[surreal scarab]

At cals they most likely will not look at sat but def ap!

It’s a rule for NY public schools I think and cals is kinda one??

Not too informed on that whole system

[surreal scarab]

Gonna get a double homicide and get a ucla and bowdoin reject

[uncut sage]

manifesting williams A

[dark onyx]

ILR is in a contract with NYS and they are test recommended

[surreal scarab]

Ur so right

[uncut sage]

idc about jhu as long as I have a shot at williams

[surreal scarab]

Idk what it is about cals and Dyson then

Bring test blind

[timid sail]

oh ucs were terrible for me

my uc app is so ass

my oos is good

my uc app in state is ASS

[surreal scarab]

Ok yeah my uc apps r

Rough

Caught a ucsb reject

Making me spiral

I have the tiniest lingering hope for nyu stein

But everything else I’m cooked

[timid sail]

i got waitlistd by all mid 3

[uncut sage]

stern is mid

[surreal scarab]

Jesus

[uncut sage]

go to SUNY ithaca > stern

[surreal scarab]

I got ucr and ucsc accept, ucsd waitlist and ucsb reject

[surreal scarab]

Not stern

stein

Steinhardt

My UC results r making me question everything about myself

[uncut sage]

the what now

[surreal scarab]

Huh

[uncut sage]

UCs so random fr

[surreal scarab]

Everyone’s telling me that and I hope I randomly get into berk and ucla

🙏🙏

[timid sail]

Idc because my oos is good lol

[wet topaz]

Yall know if I only submit ib scores is enough for test recommended

Or is sat also needed

[surreal scarab]

No I think ur fine with that

[surreal scarab]

I didn’t apply to many oos so idk I got rejected Uchicago, defer Cornell, rejected swarthmore ed1 and accepted cu boulder and bard so it’s just random

[uncut sage]

AND is unrealistic

either/or probably

[surreal scarab]

Dude I’ll take anything

[uncut sage]

idk many oos cross admits

[surreal scarab]

ANYTHINGGG🙏🙏

[uncut sage]

the kids who get into ucla are 4.0 kids

[surreal scarab]

Which is not me

😭

[uncut sage]

berkeley more stemmy holistic admissions

[surreal scarab]

I’m a humanities major 😟

[alpine osprey]

I mean

I got deferred from both CMU/Gtech w pretty mid grades in comparison

to the rest of the pool

so I wouldnt say I didnt pass the academic cutoff though/or they look very holistically since rest of the app is solid imo

[uncut brook]

How old yall rate Dyson in comparison to Stern, Wharton and Ross?

[uncut sage]

Wharton > Dyson > Stern > Ross

[half dock]

Dyson is easily below all of them

[uncut brook]

Two very different answers lmao

[half dock]

ask a random person on the street these 4 names and they'll recognize the 3 other than dyson

obviously dyson is not a bad school

[narrow wigeon]

Wharton > Stern > Dyson > Ross but Id rather go to Dyson than Stern

[half dock]

but stern wharton and ross are like drake j cole and kendrick

[noble cedar]

Wharton>>stern>dyson>ross

[narrow wigeon]

Dyson, like Stern, is practically a trade school in New York investment banking, yet STERN is still better.

[noble cedar]

(Ib rating)

[narrow wigeon]

yet I like ivy so I'd go Dyson

also depends on what you want

[noble cedar]

Stern is guarantee ib job if u live in nyc

[narrow wigeon]

but I guess general prestige: Wharton > Stern > Ross >= Dyson

[half dock]

wharton - stern - ross - dyson is the obvious answer, ts so biased cus this is the cornell thread, idk what yall on😭 🙏

[narrow wigeon]

not guaranteed

elite IB is about top 200 out of a class size of 600

sure investment banking is possible for the rest but its like mcdonalds

[noble cedar]

Im exaggerating it lol, but you have higher chance to break into ib as stern then dyson

[narrow wigeon]

id still go to dyson over stern and ross, its not like its worse tbh

[buoyant acorn]

Nah

[narrow wigeon]

the only reason stern is better is geographical proximity

[half dock]

obviously all four of those are great business schools but cornell's is easily the worst idk what yall on💀

[narrow wigeon]

idk easily the worst

[noble cedar]

More ib admits from dyson than ross

[half dock]

you're all biased cus you've done research into cornell and obviously applied and everything

[narrow wigeon]

tbh

[half dock]

ask general @uncut brook

[narrow wigeon]

investment banking is such a poor mans high finance

buyside finance is so much better

[half dock]

holup lemme ask the goddess herself chat gpt

[noble cedar]

Nah corp banking/finance is better

[narrow wigeon]

probably shouldve applied to dyson given my current college results but it was so hrad

[narrow wigeon]

buyside makes more, is more fun, you actually create value

[narrow wigeon]

stern is overrated imo

its a trade school for NYC investment banking

[half dock]

@uncut brook gpt lowkey got the least biased answer

[narrow wigeon]

most of the ivies mog these schools business schools

[uncut brook]

Fair

[narrow wigeon]

no one wants to do consulting or ib

private equity, venture capital, hedge funds is where its at

[half dock]

ur a high school senior who knows nothing about stern but what youve seen online or max accounts from other people how would yk it's overrated

[rare fable]

i fear it’s not that easy to break into pe/hf post grad off the rip

[narrow wigeon]

overrated. its just a trade school

[rare fable]

thus why…people go into ib

[narrow wigeon]

oh its INCREDIBLY hard

people only do IB -> 2 years -> 2 years PE -> 2 years MBA, the 2-2-2

the only way to get private equity post grad is like Harvard, Wharton, then maybe Columbia and Princeton

[noble cedar]

U get paid an avg doctor salary with corp

[narrow wigeon]

actually wharton mogs harvard but wharton mogs evevryone

[noble cedar]

Like ~200-300k

[narrow wigeon]

compensation is worth more imo

[noble cedar]

Mit and yale

[narrow wigeon]

eh... people at mit usually dont do PE, quant work

[half dock]

did u read what i wrote🙏

[narrow wigeon]

quant is like its own subsection of finance

[noble cedar]

Mit is best for quant no denying

[narrow wigeon]

my friend has an arbitrage that can generate 2%/month but it only works for sub $1,000,000 liquidity

[rare fable]

!quant

[narrow wigeon]

100%

[pliant thorn]

Ding!

Looks like someone's brought up quant again!

I think it’d be better if you analyzed some grass instead.

Used 1868 times.

[rare fable]

jk

all love no shade

[narrow wigeon]

quant is actually decent work life balance, its just brain intensive

50 hours week at jane street

IB are slaving away at ike 70-90

[rare fable]

probably on the lower end for 70-90 but yeah

[noble cedar]

You get paid 500k as quant

Thats more than doctor

[narrow wigeon]

only issue with quant is its easy to burn out

[narrow wigeon]

doctors dont make much... ever given how much schooling/investment it requires

[rare fable]

ehhh private practice makes good bank but it’s…private practice so

[noble cedar]

Some specialists like gastroenterologist and gynecologist can make up to 700k a yr

[narrow wigeon]

i would even say that a lot of doctors are.... poor (you guys probably think thats a scary word)

[noble cedar]

Because of debt

[narrow wigeon]

but like 500k-1mill in debt of med school

its like what?

[noble cedar]

Med school is expensive
