Cornell University (2024-2025)

[narrow wigeon]

4 years med school

then 3 years residency for basic physician?

[rare fable]

2-7 years of residency

[narrow wigeon]

then like 3 years more for surgeons

[rare fable]

plus fellowship

1-2 years ballpark

[narrow wigeon]

yeah

its so fucking cooked

ur like early 30s to mid 30s by the time u can actual work

and even then ur beginner salary is ass

[rare fable]

tbf you do get paid during residency…just like…minimum wage for the amount of hours you’re pulling 💀

[narrow wigeon]

thats called basic necessities

if u didnt get paid convinced u would starve to death

[noble cedar]

Thats why specialist medicine is better, like neurosurgeons

[narrow wigeon]

ima give yall a tip

if u dont have equity u wont get rich

only doctors who i see become rich as fuck open clinics, their own pharma company, or some bio finance

[noble cedar]

Investment is key to being rich

[narrow wigeon]

yep

ur never gonna be rich from just salary alone (for like 99.8% of people )

[noble cedar]

The rest are like pro athletes or pro entertainers

[rare fable]

what is your definition is rich

[narrow wigeon]

yeah

[narrow wigeon]

$2mill+ net income

[noble cedar]

You can literally be a self made millionaire without college with equity and investment

[narrow wigeon]

annually

[noble cedar]

Imo net worth of 5 mil+

[narrow wigeon]

self made millionaire isnt as cool as it was before

[rare fable]

well yeah that makes sense why 99.8% of people won’t get rich 💀

[narrow wigeon]

thats like a house

[rare fable]

everyone’s expectations r diff which is fine

[narrow wigeon]

the thing is

[noble cedar]

Do you like crypto

[narrow wigeon]

most people dont know what rich is because they havent experienced what true wealth is

[narrow wigeon]

no - however my friend has a crypto arbitrage

[noble cedar]

Wealth is ambiguous

[narrow wigeon]

true wealth is like actual fuck you wealth

[rare fable]

well yes…i don’t expect someone who went from living below the poverty line to know what true wealth is

[narrow wigeon]

and you never actually realize how crazy it is

[rare fable]

i think that’s a no brainer

[narrow wigeon]

until ur friends are the ones that are crazy rich

[half dock]

so a lot of millionaires aren't rich to u😭

[noble cedar]

Explain

[narrow wigeon]

they arent what it seems

[narrow wigeon]

imagine ur friend is chartering a yacht for $300k a week and invites u

[half dock]

bro this is such a high horse commentary

[narrow wigeon]

imagine ur friend is spending $5k on hotels per night

[rare fable]

this is so funny to me

[half dock]

richness is all based on perspective

[rare fable]

but i digress

[narrow wigeon]

you dont get it until you experience it

[half dock]

theres rich richer and super rich

[narrow wigeon]

i agree

[half dock]

theres also poor poorer and super poor

[narrow wigeon]

i never disagreed

wealth is all relative

[cerulean shoal]

At Cornell you will be rich in experiences and fun

[half dock]

if ur super poor 100k might be rich to them

[cerulean shoal]

🥰🥰

[narrow wigeon]

to a lower income individual, 100k is rich for them

[oblique bough]

some people are so poor all they have is money?

[half dock]

so u making ur own definition of rich and saying "true wealth" is a whole lotta fucking bullshit

[narrow wigeon]

nah thats my own perspective

never said it was universal

[narrow wigeon]

to be completely honest, this is lowkey true if you read it

[cerulean shoal]

This is some instagram reels finance guru level trolling going on

[noble cedar]

Personally its
Ultra wealthy
Wealthy
Middle
Poor
Poverty

[narrow wigeon]

because poor people are less likely to have equities or assets beause they need liquidity to not starve to death

[rare fable]

“break out of the matrix” moment

[half dock]

bro like @narrow wigeon get off ur fucking high horse bro

[narrow wigeon]

thats your rationale?

ok

like im just trying to be rationale, serious, and genuinelly interested in this topic

[cerulean shoal]

Let us all calm down and stop talking about wealth

[narrow wigeon]

real

[noble cedar]

Because they need to survive

[cerulean shoal]

Since it can get sensitive and heated

[narrow wigeon]

thats what i said 💀

[noble cedar]

They spend all their time and money on surviving

[cerulean shoal]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/966503211114582016/1021247036517007390/image0-14-1-1.gif

Talk about gambling

Or something

Idk

[noble cedar]

It feels like you tryna judge them for not having equity, mustve been my assumption

[cerulean shoal]

People here love poker

[narrow wigeon]

ill mog all of u at poker

[rare fable]

bet it all on black

[noble cedar]

All red

[cerulean shoal]

Exactly

[narrow wigeon]

when a2c poker

[uncut sage]

bs bro

[narrow wigeon]

id mog all of u in poker

[uncut sage]

ross is buns compared to johnson/dyson

[cerulean shoal]

This is a thing

I think

[noble cedar]

Buy my course for 90 dollars, youll be rich

[rare fable]

about to come out $500 poorer 🔥

[narrow wigeon]

ross is too much consulting

[rare fable]

only in vv

[narrow wigeon]

consulting is saying what ur company said

[rare fable]

not supposed to promote it otherwise methinks

[narrow wigeon]

i love alternative assets

[cerulean shoal]

Nolan is underrated 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

[uncut sage]

yeah

[cerulean shoal]

(I am a hater of business majors)

[uncut sage]

part of johnson

erm

applied economics m (i forgot what it stands for) aint business

[cerulean shoal]

How did ur 2026 internship cycle ALREADY start

[half dock]

🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 (then again im a high school senior im not gonna act like i know eeerything about every program, but its very clear that ross wharton and stern are known everywhere while most people wont recognize dyson. cornell is a lower t10 school while the other 3 are undebatably top 5)

[cerulean shoal]

AEM applied Econ manag

[uncut sage]

employers know dyson just fine

[narrow wigeon]

id go to dyson over stern and ross tbh

[uncut sage]

cornell dyson looks more impressive than mich ross

[narrow wigeon]

smaller cohort, acutal campus, bougie

[uncut sage]

stern vs dyson could be a tossup

i lean dyson

[half dock]

of course, hopefully business employers know more than the top 3 business schools LMAO

[narrow wigeon]

dartmouth > stern > ross > dyson

[uncut sage]

but mich outcomes very clearly inferior to other 2 in nyc

[noble cedar]

Ross is not known everywhere what are you talking about

[narrow wigeon]

``` I HATE THIS FROM UPENN

ITS DONE? like they reviewed 70k apps???

already

[cerulean shoal]

Did you mean to put the arrows in that order

[uncut sage]

3/10 ragebait

[half dock]

so u agree with wharton and stern? ross is less known than both of them but still more known than dyson

[narrow wigeon]

this isnt rage bait

dartmouth is hecka good on buyside finance

better placement than stern

[uncut sage]

okay but the other 3…

[narrow wigeon]

and im biased towards buyside

[uncut sage]

i agree with darty

[half dock]

i js asked my friend if he thought dyson or stern was better and he asked me if it was dyson the vacuum cleaning brand

[noble cedar]

Harvard and stanford is way better than ross and you put ross at t3

[half dock]

💀

[narrow wigeon]

nah most rankings put stern > ross > dyson

[hazy scroll]

This is crazy

[narrow wigeon]

how is that ragebait

[narrow wigeon]

like evevry ranking puts stern and ross above dysonn

i agree id rather go to dyson

[uncut sage]

not rly tbh

[narrow wigeon]

but how the fuck is that rage bait lmfao

[half dock]

yeah shift dyson down all athe wya😭

[hazy scroll]

Wharton > Stern = Ross > Dyson

[uncut sage]

dyson is literally better

[hazy scroll]

Stern is maybe marginally better

[noble cedar]

Stanford is better than darty

[narrow wigeon]

stern mogs ross if we are talking about IB

[uncut sage]

more selective, better outcomes despite being newer

[narrow wigeon]

consulting ross might be better

[hazy scroll]

For IB totally

It is in NY

[noble cedar]

Stern does not equal ross 😭

[uncut sage]

ross doesn’t touch stern

[narrow wigeon]

stanford has a smaller network in nyc high finance

plus stanford people are all VCs

[uncut sage]

100% loses on cross admits

[hazy scroll]

Alright guys you got me I’m a diehard Michigan fan 💔💔

Wharton > Stern > Ross > Dyson

[uncut sage]

ross and stern lose to dyson on cross admits

[hazy scroll]

Dyson is the equivalent of any top business program

It’s great but I would never say its better than Ross or Stern

[half dock]

okay guys guys obviously none of us have been to all of these schools to really know anything.
on pure rankings alone,, the goddess gpt herself, and name brand/prestige, it's wharton>stern>ross>dyson. You may prefer dyson, obviously rankings dont determine whether you like it better. But generally, its wharton>stern>ross>dyson undebatably😭 end of convo

[uncut sage]

undebatably is crazy

blud thinks he’s usnews or smn

[half dock]

i mean the general ranking

[narrow wigeon]

i dont disagree

[half dock]

undebatably

like personal preference and things u might consider better

[hazy scroll]

I feel like rankings are so meaningless

[half dock]

obviously debatable

[narrow wigeon]

eh - they arent entirely wrong

[uncut sage]

okay but like if ross is better why does it lose on cross admits

[narrow wigeon]

uc berkeley mogs these schools except stern

[hazy scroll]

With business it absolutely will depend on the location after the nitty gritty

[uncut sage]

haas slots in right above stern

[narrow wigeon]

ross is consulting people

[uncut sage]

maybe below?

[half dock]

okay bro i know princeton at #1 and university of wyoming at #232 but rankings are menaingless trust🙏

[narrow wigeon]

for finance or business in general?

[uncut sage]

depends on which coast you prefer

[narrow wigeon]

haas mogs stern in everything except IB

[noble cedar]

iirc haas destroys all but wharton

[narrow wigeon]

stern is a trade school

[narrow wigeon]

is haas rly that good?

[uncut sage]

entrepreneurship

[hazy scroll]

Obviously some programs are better than others but I don’t see the point in comparing rankings by the margin

[narrow wigeon]

i feel like i didnt hear of it until recently

[noble cedar]

Yes

[neat flax]

stern better than ross

[hazy scroll]

It’s all the same up until the people you might meet or the location you will wind up working

[uncut sage]

tell em goat

[half dock]

we finished this convo bro🥀

[neat flax]

mb chat

[noble cedar]

Why are yall thinking stern is some dog 😭 😭 😭

2nd most admitted ib

[neat flax]

what’s the benefit of dyson over other schools

[uncut sage]

lowkey

wharton > dyson > haas > stern > marshall > ross > > > > kelley

[half dock]

iu hate is crazy

but lowkey everybody gets in

[hazy scroll]

And Princeton is Princeton because of its research not its business department. I don’t get why anyone in business even really cares about schools that aren’t explicitly known for business

[neat flax]

valid tho

[noble cedar]

What is marshall and kelley

[uncut sage]

usc

iu

[uncut sage]

yeahhh

[noble cedar]

Why you even including iu 😭 😭

[uncut sage]

i’d say kelley and rbs are about the same

[narrow wigeon]

dyson is NOT ABOVE HAAS LMFAO

[half dock]

the fuck

iu kelley

is cracked for biness

[uncut sage]

usnews glazes them

[narrow wigeon]

BRO MARSHALL IS NOT ABOVE ROSS, I dont even know above kelley (workshops are crazy), marshall is below them all

[noble cedar]

Its not even t30

[narrow wigeon]

nah iu kelly with workshops has rly good placement

lowkey underrated

[narrow wigeon]

its t10 finance

[uncut sage]

it’s like 9

[half dock]

@noble cedar the FUCK are u yapping about

[uncut sage]

bro chill

[hazy scroll]

This is insane lol

[uncut sage]

pressed over indiana

[uncut sage]

definitely undeserved

but rankings are dumb

[noble cedar]

Insane

Thats some bs rankings

[half dock]

nah im pressed they're a hater asking why its included and saying its not even t30 when they're clearly misinformed

[narrow wigeon]

my personal rankings

[half dock]

i hate when people are so confidently wrong😭 🙏

[narrow wigeon]

Wharton > Haas > Dyson > Stern > Ross > Marshall

[noble cedar]

rage bait much?

[narrow wigeon]

for undergrad finance schools

in terms of which one id go to

[uncut sage]

i mean if i didn’t know these rankings i’d assume it’s mid cuz iu kelley is mediocre overall

[uncut sage]

I’d say pretty valid

marshall’s odd

[hazy scroll]

Kelly is just okay

[narrow wigeon]

you included marshall 💀

[half dock]

okay thats fine. then instead when someone tells u its cracked for business search it up and learn instead of replying "Its not even t30"

[uncut sage]

idrc if it’s below or above ross

[narrow wigeon]

nah ross is better than marshall thats just the facts

too much consulting at ross though

anyways

most ivies still mog these undergrad business schools

[neat flax]

what’s marshall even good for

[noble cedar]

Where

[narrow wigeon]

harvard still mogs

[neat flax]

i only applied bc i wanted the air tag

[narrow wigeon]

business schools

[uncut sage]

rich

LA

[noble cedar]

I meant which business school you would go to

[uncut sage]

prestige

[hazy scroll]

Business rankings should just be by endowment per student

[neat flax]

what about stanford

[narrow wigeon]

yeah in terms of which one id choose first if i got in

i didnt apply wharton

[neat flax]

or is theirs more entrepreneurial

[noble cedar]

Prestige and its usc so ur in LA (nyc still mogs)

[uncut sage]

distance to nearest MBB office

[narrow wigeon]

stanford is mostly venture capital/startup

private equity out of stanford... is possible.

ive seen it

[uncut sage]

I didn’t apply to biz

[neat flax]

i like VC

[narrow wigeon]

but most people dont do finance at stanford

[uncut sage]

econ degrees are more versatile

[narrow wigeon]

its mostly just venture capital

[noble cedar]

Accounting>>

[uncut sage]

Industrial labor relations>>

[narrow wigeon]

LMFAO

real

[uncut sage]

did you apply ILR?

[noble cedar]

No way business school and finance career arguing over

[hazy scroll]

An engineering degree is the best degree you can get for IB

[uncut sage]

I’m tryna find a backdoor into the ivy league

[hazy scroll]

Community college then transfer

[noble cedar]

Is def a gg

My stats are shit

Cc bound

[neat flax]

transfer to columbia

columbia has high transfer rate

higher than regular

[noble cedar]

Columbia is kinda dying tho

[neat flax]

true

[noble cedar]

Cause of the funds getting cut

[neat flax]

i heard employers avoid columbia bc of riots

[uncut brook]

This is a small little detail I noticed but did anyone submit a student update, or additional info to Cornell on the portal?

[noble cedar]

I submitted my fin aid stuff, does that count

[uncut brook]

Im referring more to the optional supps

This isn’t Astro I just think it’s weird that they finally allow you to see the document now

[neat flax]

there’s an optional supp?

also did yall apply to dyson

or nolan

[uncut brook]

Additional materials, updates on awards or whatev

[neat flax]

what’s average salary post grad @nolan

[uncut brook]

I did COE

[uncut sage]

columbia gs is meh

cc is the good one

[neat flax]

what’s the dig

dif

like if u transfer u go to gs

but if u get in u go cc?

[uncut sage]

yeah

[neat flax]

ngl

[uncut sage]

gs is for transfer, dual degree and other ppl

[neat flax]

i think i might’ve submitted fafsa to gs 😭

and css

[uncut sage]

anyone here apply to williams?

[neat flax]

is there a difference post grad

[uncut brook]

How is it to switch majors at Cornell?

[uncut sage]

same degree

[uncut brook]

For instance, mechy to Math and Econ

[uncut sage]

diff experience in terms of social life

[primal bough]

Did Cornell not send an email notifying their decisions releasing

[uncut sage]

it’s like barnard vs columbia

[noble cedar]

Nolan

[neat flax]

i mean

i don’t think it really matters

[noble cedar]

Hbt you

[primal bough]

It doesn’t but I received one from all the other ivies

So I thought it might be a communication issue

Like my email is wrong or smth

[uncut brook]

Only ones I received one from are Columbia and UPenn

Didn’t apply Princeton or Brown btw

[proud furnace]

i got columbia and princeton

not cornell or yale tho

[uncut sage]

I got Princeton, dartmouth and brown, none from yale, columbia or cornell

[narrow wigeon]

did u apply columbia?

columbia sent one

[uncut brook]

I don’t see one for Dartmouth?!

[cerulean shoal]

that's between colleges

so it's a bit harder

but if you are in AS and want to switch to an AS major its a piece of cake

[uncut brook]

It would be from Engineeinf to AS

I want to double major if possible

[noble cedar]

I got it from penn

[uncut sage]

not to me

[primal bough]

Have you checked your spam

[uncut sage]

I have

I got all the others but I’m guessing they sometimes mess up

[tropic vector]

RAHHH Chem 2080 who?? 🗣🗣🔥🔥

Wiped my ass with that prelim

[narrow wigeon]

Ur in

[tropic vector]

Academic comeback begins now

[narrow wigeon]

@uncut sage where have ur results been so far? A / WL / R

[uncut sage]

ymm random but

3/0/3

As to UVA and Rutgers HC and CWRU

2 T10Rs and randomly UNC

[narrow wigeon]

What are the t10s

[uncut sage]

Uchicago and P*nn

[bronze egret]

Good amt

Everyone places where they want

Can answer more specific abt that if wanted

[neat flax]

sure

and like what’s the job placement

like u work exec at marriott or sum 😭

i put nolan as alternate for dyson

[maiden musk]

one week countdown

[bronze egret]

I mean I’m going J.P. Morgan

Most of my friends are ib, private equity, real estate or consulting

[bronze egret]

Most likely won’t get then

Idek why they even have that as option they basically never use it

[neat flax]

i meant for nolan hotel management

unless ur going there from nolan

wait is nolan better than dyson for ib pe realestate or consulting

[bronze egret]

Yeah

No one rly goes into hospitality

Basically everyone goes finance real estate or consulting

The kids rly into hotel shit just do corporate real estate

[neat flax]

how about dyson

[bronze egret]

Synonymous rly

It all comes down to clubs u get into

Regardless of major

Real estate go Nolan tho Dyson doesn’t place

[neat flax]

so whats the difference between teh two

[bronze egret]

Ib, pe, consulting comes down to clubs

[neat flax]

so nolan overall u think is better?

[bronze egret]

Slightly diff curriculum

Main diff

Dyson has slightly more people as well

[neat flax]

real estate is interesting ngl

didnt think about that

maybe i should've applied nolan

i do know that dyson has that one class

[bronze egret]

U can’t double major with Nolan

[neat flax]

that goes around the worldand eats food

[bronze egret]

Dyson you can if within cals

[neat flax]

have u heard of that class

[bronze egret]

We have a fick ton of culinary classes as well which is cool

[neat flax]

i saw a tiktok about it

[bronze egret]

But yeah ik the one ur talking abt

I forget the name

[neat flax]

do they pay for their plane

and stuff

@bronze egret whats ur experience w the clubs at the school

and how hard to get in

[bronze egret]

Good!

Club recruitment is hard

But worth it

[neat flax]

any tips to getting in?

[bronze egret]

Genuinely rly like my clubs, especially ones I’m on eboard for

Be strategic with what u apply to

Rly network with ones u want

Be personable but also know ur shit

And just don’t get intimidated

[bronze egret]

Believe u pay for flights but idk logistics

Cruise class is big here too

And a lot of gym classes go to exotic places

[neat flax]

sounds fun

[bronze egret]

Usually 5-15 get in per club a semester

Depending on how hard club is

[neat flax]

when people say they're hard to get in, what specifically makes it hard

just how many people apply?

[bronze egret]

Rounds can be difficult

5-15 spots usually for 150-250 applicants

[neat flax]

💀

[bronze egret]

People are also just scared freshman

And like not expecting to be interrogated second week of school

[neat flax]

ngl this is why i wana go to a regular semi target school

like emory

[bronze egret]

They just don’t rly place

Is the main drawback

[neat flax]

ik they have guranteed spots at firms

[bronze egret]

Not in NYC but yeah locally

[neat flax]

my friend got into jp morgan without much effort

but he didnt like the culture so he switched

[bronze egret]

JP is just hirevue to superday they don’t do a bunch of rounds

[neat flax]

he said since its super liberal arts-y not much people go finance at emory

[bronze egret]

I turned down Emory tho

Good school

[neat flax]

so significantly less harder to get into finance

[bronze egret]

Just doesn’t place as well

And I don’t like Atlanta

[neat flax]

thats fair

i like the northeast

but

i dont think im like super cracked or anything

and im from oklahoma

[bronze egret]

Emory b school is quite popular tbh

[neat flax]

and we're stupid here

and imma be going against a lot of smart people

[bronze egret]

Like it’s a decent amt of kids lmao

[neat flax]

and finna be cooked

goizueta

[bronze egret]

Id see where u get in

Then judge off of that

[neat flax]

true

[bronze egret]

What is top option rn

[neat flax]

i got into uva but full cost oos

[bronze egret]

Don’t do Emory Oxford tho

If they give u that

[neat flax]

depends how much aid i get and where i get in

[bronze egret]

Yuck but awesome offer

[neat flax]

yeah, imma renegotiate my aid bc our income dropped a lot

bc they give decent aid for being OOS

[bronze egret]

McIntre is v good too

[neat flax]

im waiting on mich, emory, duke, columbia, cornell, yale, penn, stanford, usc

[bronze egret]

All the big ones lmao

[neat flax]

yep

we'll see

[bronze egret]

You’ll know everything in a week

Crazy

[neat flax]

basically yeah

[bronze egret]

Lot of friends at Ross and Penn and Stanford and usc

[neat flax]

wish i had spring break next week instead of this week

[bronze egret]

All did good

[neat flax]

what do u think about ross

for ib placement

bc its so big

or yk anything about marshall

[bronze egret]

If u want Chicago market go them

They do place in NYC but mostly Chicago geared bc they dominate there

But I have friends there who got nyc shit

USC is also rly good @keen delta is there

Again, depends on where u wanna place

They’re gonna get u more Cali stuff than the others will

[neat flax]

i just dont wanna live in cali

post grad

and usc is hella expensive so dont think thats the play

[bronze egret]

He’ll be in nyc with me next summer

Won’t dox but good firm

[neat flax]

BB?

[bronze egret]

They do give good aid tho

[bronze egret]

Yuh

[neat flax]

hopefully our aid is shyt w 2023 income

[bronze egret]

I will say of my Nolan friends, ik people at EB, BB, MM, private equity, anything

U rly can do anything if u just grind tbh

Like any firm ik people at

But I’m also going to law in like two years LMAO

[neat flax]

is placing at a bb contingent on clubs for cornell from ur experience

[neat flax]

so ur going finance two years then law 😭

[bronze egret]

ik people that have gotten without they just help a lot

BC u need experiences to speak to

[bronze egret]

For a summer

Im a soph

Graduating here a year early

Then law school

[neat flax]

[neat flax]

[ancient hamlet]

CORNELL LET ME IN 😭 🙏

[bronze egret]

Unless I love it and wanna stay LMAO

But idk it’s in a year and a half

Future problem

[neat flax]

real

ur just keeping ur options open?

[bronze egret]

Plan has always been law tbh

Just needed a good backup plan

[neat flax]

what about buyside

finance

[bronze egret]

Doesnt rly interest me

Finance bores me tbh

[neat flax]

i meant like people yk in buyside?

[bronze egret]

Ohh

Like PE next summer?

Yeah

[neat flax]

or like pwm

[bronze egret]

Plenty

A lot do wealth shit

And asset management

[neat flax]

all the connections made while at cornell?

[bronze egret]

Uhhh yeah

Black gen and alpha are lowkey cheat codes

Black and Hispanic orgs

Fucking place people so well

But any club places p well here

[neat flax]

do u think itll still place well

[bronze egret]

And people network themselves

[neat flax]

considering the changes

in DEI and whatever

[bronze egret]

Yeah

[neat flax]

i dont qualify anywayas

[bronze egret]

They’re just rly connected to people at the firms

Like private dinners with alumni there

[neat flax]

r u in those

[bronze egret]

Sk auto referrals at very least

Also clubs have answers to interview questions usually

Like banks of them

Im white so no lol

[late timber]

kinda bad timing but i never used this box to submit my sat scores
the only place i had them in was my common app
theres no checklist item for sat/act scores so im kinda confused on whether they've considered mines or not

[noble cedar]

Whats ur a w r @narrow wigeon

[noble cedar]

Do you think nolan is worth it

[bronze egret]

Yeah def

[icy schooner]

I believe they automatically are ported over from the common app - I know that was the case for my harvard app at least

[late timber]

nah i was just being paranoid

harvard had a checklist item but thats probably just cuz they're test required

[neat cliff]

if it had a tick then it’s okay if not then they didn’t get it

[flint bronze]

cornell is not sigma for that email

[surreal scarab]

Almost shit my pants

[fossil merlin]

the decision release email??

[naive imp]

Yeah

[graceful hull]

cornell please take me

[gleaming heron]

i got it but its just a general email about decision date LOL

it doesnt mean anything...

[half thorn]

Me three

[ruby falcon]

can’t lie

[valid dagger]

are you fr speculating based on what time you get an email

[steep siren]

ok wtf it’s just an email

can’t be that deep

[valid dagger]

they cant send them all out at one time because sending tens of thousands of emails at once would crash their servers

[rich surge]

got it rn

[ruby falcon]

No i think it’s js random

[steep siren]

deadass

it’s ok

[rich surge]

deaduzz

[ruby falcon]

anyway

good luck guys

[left lily]

does ilr have highest acceptance rate?

[ruby falcon]

don’t take my spot

[valid dagger]

these statistics arent really released but the difference in acceptance rates between schools is like. a few percent at most

there isnt really a difference, all of them are highly selective

[ruby falcon]

What is all the stuff yall are talking about

like ilr and dyson and stuff

i check in here sometimes and lowk have no clue what is being said like 90% of the time

[valid dagger]

different schools/programs

ilr is industrial labor relations iirc

[ruby falcon]

oh

so most of it shouldn’t be like

[valid dagger]

and dyson is like econ

[ruby falcon]

in my concern

as an engineering major

[valid dagger]

no its just people looking for highly-specific info lol

[ruby falcon]

okok ty

[eternal jackal]

cornell requested my idoc

im intl

am i cooked?

[valid dagger]

why would you be cooked

then dont talk about it

its really not that complicated

[fluid pewter]

i am manifesting a cornell acceptance

[eternal jackal]

3 rejections from t10s

[tame sandal]

Hi

[fluid pewter]

i want to be a a part of the big red

[fluid pewter]

hi

were you able to pick out a dress from a while ago?

[tame sandal]

Yea

I returned both

[fluid pewter]

aw

did u get a replacement?

[tame sandal]

Yeah

I hate borh

Both

[unkempt ibex]

Cornell did not eat w telling us that email

[wispy bluff]

once u get admitted into cornell

u can major in anything in the school u got into right?

like if u get into the college of arts nad sciences

[alpine osprey]

ye

[wet topaz]

i jus wanna get in

gender studies bro fuck it ill go

[maiden musk]

Cornell lemme in plssssssss

[noble cedar]

ill literally study bing bong studies js to get in

and grad

with that degree

[icy schooner]

They want you

[tame sandal]

i want me too

[thorn sparrow]

Cornell idoc request mean something? I don't remember when I received it but it's not recent.

[steep siren]

no not rlly

i think they request it from everyone

[thorn sparrow]

2 guys from My country didn't have it

[surreal scarab]

they didnt request idoc from me but i submitted all my aid stuff they asked for

[steep siren]

huh werid

both me and my friend got it

same school

so i doubted it mattered much

[surreal scarab]

are you international?

most of the time universities will request idoc from international students

so ive heard

[thorn sparrow]

And is a good sign got css waiver from a lot a colleges?

[surreal scarab]

no i think that means your family income qualifies for a waiver

[thorn sparrow]

Got one from cornell, Duke, upenn

[thorn sparrow]

Got it

[surreal scarab]

could be wrong tho- ik the schools you listed are generous with waivers tho

[steep siren]

no

🤧

[surreal scarab]

i just read about it and i think the financial aid office and admissions are seperate so they gather up your aid and then send it to admissions so i dont think idoc has anything to do with admissions???

https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/does-a-request-for-institutional-documentation-service-idoc-give-any-insight-to-admissions-chances/3658526/4

[gleaming heron]

colleges are a business they don't have the time and resources to specficially analyze the 40K+ financial aid apps

and they're also shady with what goes on behind the scenes

[surreal scarab]

agree

but im just saying i dont think idoc request has anything to do with likelihood of admissions

[gleaming heron]

oh yeah i think idoc requests are pretty standard

however i think that if the admissions office specifically emails asking for more info beyond idoc it's different

[surreal scarab]

Agree

Idoc requests don’t even come from admission just financial aid office because something’s mission in aid or they need more info

[thorn sparrow]

It's not the correct thread , but the Harvard AO contacted my counselor about a month ago. Is that a good sign? (I'm intl)

[steep siren]

yea

oh

[steep siren]

yes

unless they called to confirm a EC and ur counsler said idk

[surreal scarab]

Oh yes probably a good thing if they asked about u

[surreal scarab]

Agree probs not a good sign there

[thorn sparrow]

Just about my school

[surreal scarab]

Maybe? Perhaps they just wanna know more about it?

[thorn sparrow]

She said she wants to understand my context

[icy schooner]

i've seen this but i've also seen that every rd applicant at brown that received an idoc request has got in

[thorn sparrow]

I'm from a VERY rural area

[surreal scarab]

oooh

[eternal jackal]

yeah you're in

[neat cliff]

it means nothing until next Thursday

[proven falcon]

typically tho rural people have better odds

[graceful hull]

i sure hope so 😋

💀

phd student but similar idea

[raven sandal]

A

[buoyant acorn]

I mean supposed anti american sentiments while on a visa is no good

Rules are rules

[gritty crag]

wow

[crude creek]

!conrell

!cornell

!ivy

huh

[uncut brook]

Anyone who got into Cornell already, I want to run something by you

[rugged walrus]

hi

[tame sandal]

Do i count

[uncut brook]

Yeah

[rugged walrus]

chat should i rush at corn😫i cant decide

[uncut brook]

I want to pledge too but I’m afraid of Ivy League hazing

[severe timber]

im in a sorority here if u have questions

[tame sandal]

I regret not rushing freshman yr

[uncut brook]

How would you describe the work/life balance for the COE?

[tame sandal]

Lowkey working on ur assignments is the majority of time spent for fun w ur friends unless u go out a bunch

Out as in eating/rxploring or partying

Just any out

[hasty anvil]

Is Greek super large at Cornell? Like >50%?

[tame sandal]

No

Def not

[hasty anvil]

Okok

[uncut brook]

I’ve heard the only ones who have fun are in Greek

[tame sandal]

Lmao imagine 2k kids in greek of every class level

[uncut brook]

Would you agree?

[tame sandal]

😭😭

[tame sandal]

No

Who told u that

😭

[uncut brook]

TikTok😭

[tame sandal]

Was it abt cornell

[uncut brook]

Yeah

[tame sandal]

Then they r neurotic

And friendless

[hasty anvil]

Took me a sec because I forgot Cornell has like 15k students 💀

[uncut brook]

Shi that is a lot lmao

[tame sandal]

Cornell central on a sunday

😂😂

[hasty anvil]

So pretty

[tropic vector]

non existent

[uncut brook]

Well damn

[tame sandal]

Also this applies for any academically rigorous school

Or environment

People enjoy studying tg

[uncut brook]

I’m between Williams and Cornell if I get in

Small vs large fr

[tame sandal]

Yeah

[uncut brook]

I’ll probably go to both admits days to see what it’s like

[tropic vector]

I strongly recommend that

[tropic vector]

In all seriousness this depends on what you want to do

Im pre-med with NROTC and in engineering. The workloads can be a lot sometimes, but I make it work

Personally for me, I usually only have time for my studies throughout the week and if it's a weekend before a prelim I'll spend majority of my time studying with friends.

Im also at max credits from last semester and this semester so that doesn't help

[timid sail]

everythings coming out next week

[uncut brook]

Oh okay

Makes sense

Well I’ll find out Thursday anyway

[tame sandal]

so bored

[raven sandal]

i wish i was bored at cornell

[noble cedar]

wdym by rush

[mossy jay]

greek life

[timid sail]

😔

[tame sandal]

well

im bored but i have sm work

i just

bored

life bored

i need plot

[noble cedar]

why cornell

why not harvard

[tame sandal]

cuz this is the cornell thread

CAS

i transferred from COE after firstyear

[mossy jay]

how hard is it to transfer between colleges

[uncut brook]

How hard would you say it is to double major at Cornell?

[uncut brook]

Say Math/Econ

[tame sandal]

depends to which
dyson and eng and aap quite hard
nolan medium

[tame sandal]

not hard

bme

[uncut brook]

Perf

[mossy jay]

what if i wanted to go from aap to cas

[tame sandal]

probably easy

[noble cedar]

is double majoring worth it

[mossy jay]

okay

[tame sandal]

worth it for what? why would u personally want to double

[uncut brook]

And from COE to CAS?

[mossy jay]

do people often double major?

[tame sandal]

easy

[mossy jay]

😭

[uncut brook]

Bet

[tame sandal]

its not uncommon

[mossy jay]

ah

seems a lot

[tame sandal]

depends on the majors they have

like info sci majors often double

[noble cedar]

nolan to dyson or dyson to cme

[tame sandal]

cog sci too

maybe cs or math ppl

i wanted to study some level of pscyh in my time at college and bme wouldve killed me with that + premed

[mossy jay]

oh yea

[tame sandal]

anything to dyson hard

whats cme

[noble cedar]

i mean coe sorry

[tame sandal]

i wouldnt say hard but ud have to look into requirements and take classes u can that count

like CAS is easiest since the requirements r so open

COE is hard bc they have such strict requirements for frosh

dyson is just hard

lol

like COE def doable but ud need to be on track

with the 8 sem plan

like u cant show up and never have taken AB calc and expect to get into COE transfer

[noble cedar]

hbt taking calc in college then transfer, isnt that better than taking ap calc and get credit from ap calc

[tame sandal]

depends on the pairing
like english + math probbaly hard but cs + ece is objectively "easier" in terms of simply classload

like the overlap

[tame sandal]

ur expected to know AB calc

when ur in COE

like u shouldnt need credit to even transfer u should just know it

like a 5 on AB already

before applying

or while applying

[noble cedar]

so is a perquisite

[tame sandal]

yes

u cannot get accepted to COE without it unless ur school physically did not offer it and u had shit resources

[noble cedar]

what if u got like a 3 on bc but didnt take calc ab

[tame sandal]

and in those cases u are conditionally accepted, forced to take summer program AB calc

[noble cedar]

since bc is objectively harder than ab

[tame sandal]

BC is AB + BC

it isnt harder or different

it is just more content

[rugged walrus]

omg i didn’t know this

[noble cedar]

i see

[tame sandal]

they would probably look at ur AB subscore

[raven sandal]

uhm actually BC = BA + AC

[tame sandal]

cuz ur BC exam shows u that

[raven sandal]

we love vectors

[unique bear]

Will cornell accept me

probably not

but it'd be nice

[tame sandal]

but technically u have taken AB at that point

so ud technically be eligible ig

cuz firs ttrimester of BC calc is AB content

[noble cedar]

ok

thanks

are there other calc perquisites at this school?

[tame sandal]

wdym

[noble cedar]

like at other colleges

[tame sandal]

i dont think so

[noble cedar]

ex; dyson, cals, cas etc

[rugged walrus]

i got in cals without calc im in pre calc rn

[tame sandal]

its because the lowest level of engineering math is calc 2

the other colleges all have a different option for math

or may not even require calc at all

[noble cedar]

did u take stats?

[tame sandal]

i think dyson requires it but as a course at cornell

[rugged walrus]

my school offers it but its a lottt less common for kids here to rake it than at bigger schools yk

[tame sandal]

not as a prereq

[rugged walrus]

im in a semester econ class rn and personal finance but my school doesn’t have stats

[tame sandal]

yeah cuz CALS and CAS and HumEc students have access to precalc as math

engineers dont

the curriculum fully starts at math1910: calculus

😭

[rugged walrus]

yea

[tame sandal]

whereas cals can start at math 1106

which is

like

the joke of pre calc

[rugged walrus]

lmao me

i was lowkey so worried ab admissions wo calc

[noble cedar]

so what math does ur school offer (regular, honors, ap)

[rugged walrus]

we have ap calc ab and bc but only 2 kids are in bc and like 8 i think? in ab

ab half my class is in pre calc and half is in some calc class rn

[uncut brook]

My grade has 30 kids in BC

[rugged walrus]

covid messed me up i took alg 1 in 8th and 9th grade thats why im in pre rn

[uncut brook]

I figured most schools do?

Ah, makes sense

[rugged walrus]

like i took it twice

[uncut brook]

I imagine Econ is a Dyson class?

[noble cedar]

i was supposed to be in algebra 2 in 9th grade

covid cooked me over

so i took alg1 in 9th

[uncut brook]

Major*

[rugged walrus]

i didn’t fail it in 8th my counselor just said i should probs do it again bc online achool was rough for me lol, i lowkey think i would’ve been fine but 🤷‍♀️

[neat cliff]

it’s both

[rugged walrus]

alls well that ends well

[noble cedar]

most econ majors are cas

iirc

[neat cliff]

Dyson major is more businessy

[rugged walrus]

twin

[neat cliff]

CAS is like

more general Econ

[noble cedar]

somehow i got calc

so

she said yes

[noble cedar]

.

[uncut brook]

I figured Dyson is where most of the IB/Consulting people go, but sounds like it’s more CAS?

[tame sandal]

there are options in both but they are usually under AEM category which is the dyson major name

[neat cliff]

this is more of a selection bias thing, anyone can go into finance bro

[tame sandal]

its hard to double between dyson and cals

from cals

i think its easier for dyson ppl to double in cals

its like def heard of but very rare

[rugged walrus]

do u know if its common for ppl to double in cals?

[uncut brook]

What if you got in through COE😭

[tame sandal]

coe -> dyson?

[uncut brook]

Yeah

[tame sandal]

u generally cant double between colleges but johnson biz school is within cals

so theres some nuance there

[tame sandal]

hard bc ur tryna take ur coe shit while taking dyson shit

[tame sandal]

its probably just cuz cas is bigger

[noble cedar]

what is the difference between human ecology and life sciences at cornell

[tame sandal]

probably

info sci is in cals lol

[tame sandal]

like the majors?

r those even diff majors?

[uncut brook]

Damn. I imagine I can somehow maneuver my way out if I switch from coe to cas and doubled with cas and Dyson but that’s some next level shit😭

[tame sandal]

we dont have a hum ec major

or r u asking hum ec vs cals

oh im dumb lol

[noble cedar]

this^

[tame sandal]

its the gen eds + majros u can double with

that is the main difference

and also majors in general

like fashion isnt in cals lol

[uncut brook]

Ofc

[tame sandal]

u cant double cas and dyson

[uncut brook]

Damn

[tame sandal]

if u go that way ppl usually do Econ major in CAS

and cope

[uncut brook]

Fr. I’ll do anything for Harvard/Cornell/Upenn

[tame sandal]

tbh ur major matters less if u get ur biz clubs

[uncut brook]

Cope 😭

[tame sandal]

connections >

[hazy scroll]

CoE is the most competitive college at Cornell

[timid sail]

manifesting manifesting

[tame sandal]

cas and coe are same AR

[unique musk]

this is why u apply CAS kids

[uncut brook]

I kinda got a likely that I’m getting in

Complicated

[hazy scroll]

Congratulations!

[noble cedar]

hypothetically, you will be guaranteed admission to Harvard but you can only make 20k a yr for the rest of your life. Will you take it?

[unique musk]

😮

[uncut brook]

Nothing like a typically likely that’s like 90%, more like 75%

[uncut brook]

Tf is the point of going to Harvard for 20k the rest of my life?

[hazy scroll]

I can make 20K and have a business making 7mil and be very well off

[noble cedar]

you said you would do anything for harvard, im putting that to the test

[uncut brook]

To get into Harvard that is

[hazy scroll]

Why are y’all roleplaying college acceptances wtf

[uncut brook]

I could walk to Harvard rn from my house😭

It’s a good day in Boston today

Manifesting our Boston acceptances

[noble cedar]

mit>>> fr

[rugged walrus]

a2c moment

[uncut brook]

Highkey tbh, MIT got more aura considering its across from google

I never applied

[rugged walrus]

mit has worlds more aura than harvard

[uncut brook]

MIT felt nerdy

[tame sandal]

ask me more questions abt cornell yall made me feel special

[rugged walrus]

UHHH

[uncut brook]

Super crazy scenario

I get in for COE, switch to Cals, double in math and Econ, but minor in engineering

Is this possible?

[tame sandal]

why minor in engineering

why not juist major in it

[noble cedar]

what in Gods name is this

[tame sandal]

and minor in econ

[uncut brook]

A backup in case my finance dreams fail

[rugged walrus]

what was ur freshman dorm experience

[tame sandal]

or minor in dyson business

[uncut brook]

This would make more sense

[rugged walrus]

like did u like ur dorm

[tame sandal]

a minor is nowhere near the experience u need

for engineering

[noble cedar]

is social life good

[uncut brook]

Okay okay, Econ math double major, minor Dyson business, is that possible?

[tame sandal]

i got one of the best of the old dorms, which meant no ac and carpet floors but it was p good

got a single

loved meeting ppl

[tame sandal]

so no engineerin

😭

[hazy scroll]

What major are you applying for

[uncut brook]

How likely is it to get the super cool new dorms with the paneling, the one I see in TikTok

[tame sandal]

yeah i like it

[noble cedar]

i forgot lowkey lol

[uncut brook]

Yes (I applied for mechanical engineering😭)

[noble cedar]

its smth with finance tho

[tame sandal]

idk which ur talking abt but id say new dorms make up about half of the freshman housing

especially with the balch renovation

but also the new dorms have thin as fuck walls

which is

[hazy scroll]

If its business you will be fine lol

[tame sandal]

kind of annoying as hell

[uncut brook]

What you doing exactly😒🤨

[tame sandal]

playing games at 4am

[uncut brook]

Lmao fair

[tame sandal]
