Cornell University (2024-2025)

[tame sandal]

[noble cedar]

[uncut brook]

So u only eat lunch on weekdays

[tame sandal]

freshman r forced to get unlimited plan

[mossy jay]

[tame sandal]

soph yr u get like 10/14 swipes a week or u can choose unlimited again

[tame sandal]

its good

[rugged walrus]

if ur not in a sorority r u gonna have a hard time getting into parties?

[tame sandal]

makes it less confusing

[tropic vector]

Appel has more variety than Morrison, but I got to Morrison when I want pizza or pasta. It's the best

At Appel they have mac and cheese bars/Ramen bars that I enjoy

[tame sandal]

no

[uncut brook]

Mainly as a Guy?

[rugged walrus]

lit

[tame sandal]

a harder time yes, not a hard time

[uncut brook]

As a guy though?

[rugged walrus]

no girl

[mossy jay]

yeooo ramen bars

[rugged walrus]

oh like for urself

[mossy jay]

sign me up

[rugged walrus]

i imagine so

[uncut brook]

Yeah lmao

[tame sandal]

yeah they ask for ratios

often

[uncut brook]

😭

[tame sandal]

u cant just show up as a lonely guy without being able to name a brother

[uncut brook]

Can’t beat em, join em

[tame sandal]

its been like what

2 years now

[noble cedar]

ah

[tame sandal]

i mainly go to the same 3 frats

[uncut brook]

What’s the best one

[tame sandal]

i can name a good number of brothers in 2 of them

[tame sandal]

idk

im asian

so i hit the asian greek

[noble cedar]

are the parties good with mad booze

[rugged walrus]

my brothers in a frat thank god so i can j go to his

[tame sandal]

no alc talk

[noble cedar]

oh ok

[uncut brook]

“Booze”?😭

Gotta be int

[tame sandal]

some parties have hard

most have seltzers

cuz its cheaper

and less risky

[noble cedar]

nah im domestic

im an immigrant tho

[rugged walrus]

do they charge

[tame sandal]

some

[uncut brook]

There we go, Asian?

[tame sandal]

esp when crowded

[hazy scroll]

Cornell is in the middle of nowhere and has very little to do outside of study or party. My friends that go there tell me stories about nerds from our school who wound up doing coke

[rugged walrus]

greedy asf

[noble cedar]

how did you know lmfao

[uncut brook]

Only Asian immigrants would say “booze”

[hazy scroll]

It is a depressing environment especially with the cold and the gray skies upstate in NY

[tame sandal]

u can eat, sleep, hike, swim, explore downtown, go to festivals, go to farmers market

go to syracuse go to nyc go to bing

[uncut brook]

Your sample size isn’t convincing

[tame sandal]

i will say the sky is very depressing today though

lol

[noble cedar]

sample bias

[hazy scroll]

I come from a feeder. My sample size is bigger than just my friends lol

[noble cedar]

js go nyu

[mossy jay]

pause aren’t those like decently far

like an hour or so

[tame sandal]

ppl often go for wknd trip

to syracuze, niagra, bing, or nyc

[mossy jay]

ah

[uncut brook]

I’d argue your college experience is what you make it, not where you are

[rugged walrus]

nobody forcing u to apply damn lmaooo

[tame sandal]

nnah fr

[mossy jay]

do ppl ever js go to toronto

wknd trip

[tame sandal]

why u gotta be doing smth new every day

yeah

but thats more for like a 4 day wknd

yk

[uncut brook]

Bro came here just to say Cornell is shit💀

[mossy jay]

that seems fun🤔

yeah fs

[uncut brook]

Watch him say he applied

[tame sandal]

must be sad for you here !

so sorry to hear about your very personal experience

[noble cedar]

upstate ny is peak

[tame sandal]

i personally like it

[noble cedar]

the nature is beautiful

[tame sandal]

maybe u dont

[hazy scroll]

Also I use the term “nerd” unironically. I don’t mean to discourage anyone or anything it’s just that from my experience Cornell is a very difficult environment. I completely agree though that what works for some people doesn’t work for everyone else. I just hope that people know what they’re getting into beforehand. Cornell is an amazing school regardless and you will be set up for success because of the environment

[mossy jay]

ive never been but it seems nice to be surrounding by scenic views

[tame sandal]

yeah i dont sugar coat it

[noble cedar]

switchup is crazy

[uncut brook]

I feel like we knew this?

[tame sandal]

but i also dont walk into a channel saying its a depressing college

thats not how u "not sugar coat" things

[hazy scroll]

I don’t switch up

Cornell is absolutely something to get through. But it’s also something that many can enjoy

[tame sandal]

i lowkey did list all the things possible to do for fun

if yall find that boring or insufficient then yeah maybe cornell isnt right

but personally its enough for me and my peers

and we r happy

i like having a routine and not having to constantly worry abt trying smth new

[hazy scroll]

Guys I’m not saying Cornell is bad I’m just sharing the experiences those around me have had

[uncut brook]

How long does it take to get to nyc btw?

[tame sandal]

4-6 hr

[hazy scroll]

4 hours

[tame sandal]

4 hr car 6 hr bus

[uncut brook]

Do people typically go there during the weekend?

[tame sandal]

yeah

and breaks

u literally go to nyc and u see so many ppl u know from cornell

its actually so clown

[uncut brook]

Lmao

[tame sandal]

the whole mf college goes

esp for spring break

or 4 day wknd

[noble cedar]

are they from nyc or just visiting

[tame sandal]

both

[uncut brook]

Does the college serve special food during holidays

[tame sandal]

some dining halls

[noble cedar]

arent colleges closed during holidays

[tame sandal]

risley does a bucnh of themed meals

[tame sandal]

i think they meant generally not just like winter break time

but yeah cornell closes for winter break

[uncut brook]

Like before they close yk, a Christmas special or something

[noble cedar]

ah

[tame sandal]

bay area/cali, nyc/li/westchester, nj

u will find one of these

in every room u walk into

[uncut brook]

How abt Boston?

[rugged walrus]

where r u from jae

[tame sandal]

im from westchester

[rugged walrus]

lit

[tame sandal]

lmao

[noble cedar]

hbt you

[tame sandal]

part fo the problem

[rugged walrus]

maryland

[noble cedar]

lucky

[tame sandal]

not populous enough to notice but that doesnt mean there r none its easier to say whats disproportionately here than what isnt

[noble cedar]

im from the city lol

[hazy scroll]

For anyone I might’ve discouraged: I’ve heard Cornell during the spring is particularly beautiful

[uncut brook]

Lmao, bro making up for it

[tame sandal]

lowkey the weathers been clutch recently

exclduing yesterday

its been 60s

[uncut brook]

Being from Boston I’m used to the cold fr

[fossil merlin]

isnt it horrid during the winter

[noble cedar]

do you think cornell is better than columbia in terms of experience

[uncut brook]

Shorts weather

[tame sandal]

fr

[hazy scroll]

Yes

[rugged walrus]

bro had to back it up lmaooo

[hazy scroll]

But NY falls and springs are absolutely gorgeous

[tame sandal]

from what i hear yes because columbia is more competitive environment + the political shit thats been happening

but my sample size is small

[uncut brook]

Columbia’s reputation is in shambles rn after orange man

[hazy scroll]

Yes! Cornell over Columbia anyday

😭😭

[tame sandal]

like i just hear horrid things abt how competitive columbias environment is but thats just from 5 ppl

who are independent of each other

[uncut brook]

5 independent, similar responses are likely more accurate than 20 from the same demographic or group

So I’d say that’s relatively fair

[hazy scroll]

Respectfully this is cherrypicking

[tame sandal]

like yes but i could also just attract a certain crowd

[noble cedar]

same

[hazy scroll]

She’s right though Columbia is ridiculously toxic

[noble cedar]

nyc winter is cold

[tame sandal]

agree; the ones who find it ok wouldnt think to talk abt it

[uncut brook]

Nothing like waking up one day to 80 degree weather and the next to 30 degrees and a storm

[tame sandal]

i j heard like ppl purposefully

sabotage ur internships

which is crazy

to me

but like pop off nyc

[uncut brook]

Wild

[noble cedar]

what

[rugged walrus]

that is crazy

[tame sandal]

its just nyc mindset

[uncut brook]

It’s never that serious

[tame sandal]

its not a columbia or bad ppl thing

[hazy scroll]

Yes

[noble cedar]

ive only heard stuyvesant students do that lmfao

[hazy scroll]

But this happens at all of the ivies (Cornell included)

[tame sandal]

like if they find u doing smth bad they email the recruiter or they tell u misinfo about the program/interview

[tame sandal]

yeah for cornell ive heard its mostly in high stress business where it happens

[noble cedar]

the 🐀 🐀

[tame sandal]

so its way out of my premed circles

[hazy scroll]

IB is very toxic

[uncut brook]

How close would you say the grad class is in Cornell. Like does it give hs vibes almost or is it big enough to where you meet someone new everyday?

[hazy scroll]

At Penn they compare LinkedIns for fun so you can imagine how much more cutthroat that environment is

[unique musk]

my friend says the students in new york are all hot

[tame sandal]

the latter

but its def hard to go a day without seeing someone ik in the street/class building

unless i live out of my room

[uncut brook]

I need to start my LinkedIn prep. I gotta be a sweat by freshman year

[tame sandal]

no :sob

[tame sandal]

we do that too

but like satirically

LOL

[hazy scroll]

Nooooo 💔💔💔💔

[tame sandal]

like outwardly satiricially but like inwardly we're dying inside

ykwim

[noble cedar]

thats not that bad

[uncut brook]

I got deferred from Penn, f that school

[hazy scroll]

Competition isn’t bad

[tame sandal]

i didnt even apply

but i have a upenn hoodie

[hazy scroll]

Sabotage is

[uncut brook]

Cocky asf on me

[noble cedar]

[uncut brook]

Manifesting fr

[tame sandal]

lmao

[noble cedar]

the fog is nice

[tame sandal]

My boba

🙏

pic is from when there was actually sun outside

😠

[hazy scroll]

All Cornell needs is more art on the campus

[tame sandal]

the museum moment

[hazy scroll]

I think color would make the environment more homey

[tame sandal]

i heard uris is supposed to be green

but they did it wrong so its brown

or something

💀

bro id cry if uris were green tho

itd hurt my eyes

[rugged walrus]

lmaooo

[hazy scroll]

Lol

[gleaming heron]

what about DM with CALS and Dyson

[tame sandal]

lowkey cmu has a colorful campus no?

[rugged walrus]

sorry

[tame sandal]

harder to DM from cals than it is from dyson

[gleaming heron]

that was the answer i was looking for Thanks!

[unique musk]

is boba still ilke $8 there

[tame sandal]

depends on the boba u get

i personally prefer flavors that cost more

[noble cedar]

Are prices cheap

[unique musk]

there's a shop near my hs and its around that price for like the most basic version

[urban ivy]

how do i get into cornell

[hasty anvil]

Touch corn

[fossil merlin]

what if the corn didnt consent

[bronze egret]

Go to art museum

[uncut sundial]

A lot of my friends have a better work life balance than me and they're engineers

[uncut sundial]

Morrison pasta??? it's not good

the pizza is whats amazing about Morrison

[tropic vector]

Must be environmental engineering

/j.

[uncut sundial]

no def not

theyre just smart af and dont have too many clubs and ECs

[tropic vector]

Makes sense

[tropic vector]

Also no

The pasta is amazing

[uncut sundial]

you are like doing engineering on hardcore mode

[tropic vector]

And the pickle pizza 🔥

[uncut sundial]

worst thing on earth

[tropic vector]

Better than Harvard's grape pizza

Have you ever tried the pickle pizza

[uncut sundial]

I tried burger pizza which has pickles

so basically

it was not it

[tropic vector]

The pickle pizza is amazing youre missing out

[uncut sundial]

no

I like pickles

[tropic vector]

So have the pickle pizza

[uncut sundial]

No

I also like pineapples

But I dont think it goes well with pizza

[tropic vector]

Pineapple on pizza is almost just as good as the pickle pizza

[uncut sundial]

Pickles also dont go well with pizza

[tropic vector]

You can put anything on pizza

[uncut sundial]

just because two thing are good on their oown doesnt mean they go well together

[tropic vector]

For pickles they do

[flint bronze]

Youll be judged by your peers in a court of corn(ell) law

[tame sandal]

[noble cedar]

is it hard to transfer as a finance student to premed

[bronze egret]

Why

Would u

But uh yes id imagine

U would be a year behind on classes

[noble cedar]

[bronze egret]

I’d recommend switching before u get here then

Otherwise waiting until soph year

[timid cave]

When’s decision day?

[calm geyser]

This thursday at 7PM -4

[hollow spruce]

Pineapple pizza is goated

[atomic tusk]

[noble cedar]

Lowkey i can eat it but i wouldnt ordernit

[tropic vector]

Pineapple pizza is fire idk what yall on

[uncut sundial]

it's not horrible but not great either

[unkempt ibex]

How many ppl from nc do we think Cornell accepts

[fossil merlin]

NC MENTIONED ⁉️

i know so far one person in my county who got in ED

the last itme they took a person from my school was 2 years ago and that was off the waitlist

[bronze egret]

Ik a few

[unkempt ibex]

YUHHHHH

[unkempt ibex]

I’m from a relatively low income town

[bronze egret]

Rural can def be advantage

Ik mostly people from Charlotte

[unkempt ibex]

Actually no I’m pissed it’s not rural apparently

Fayetteville is ghetto ash bro wdym💔💔💔

I’d kill to leave this place, can’t even go to a fucking mall without some type of gang fight

That’s some bs

[fossil merlin]

Fayetteville is ghetto

[unkempt ibex]

Exactly

It should be considered rural

[bronze egret]

How do ya know

[unkempt ibex]

I can look it up and I think it’s mainly bc of the population size

[bronze egret]

Ahh gotcha

[unkempt ibex]

There’s a lot of fucking people here and I couldn’t tell you why

Literally WHY would someone want to be here

[bronze egret]

Did counswlor talk abt lack of opportunities in their letter

If so ur fine

[unkempt ibex]

Hopefully, I sure did

Because I’m definitely low income

But I make it work

Speech and debate Academic All American is one of my greatest achievements

[bronze egret]

What type

[unkempt ibex]

Uh there’s only one I think

You need a large amount of accumulated points and a high GPA

yea you need 750 points and a 3.7+ GPA

[bronze egret]

What type of debate

Yeah I had that too lol

[unkempt ibex]

Ohhh, I don’t do debate I do Original Oratory and Dramatic Interp

Never catch me in congress PF or LD

[bronze egret]

Ohh fun

I was LD

[unkempt ibex]

I’d rather roll over

I know one LD person, but we have no LD on our team, we are tiny

[bronze egret]

LD is much better than policy

[fossil merlin]

Speech and debate is giving me trauma stop
I signed up to do it and then chickened out
And then my inbox was spammed because I didn’t want to show up for comp

[bronze egret]

Cornell speech is HELLA good tho

[fossil merlin]

😭

[bronze egret]

Def recommend

Bunch of friends on the team

[unkempt ibex]

Wait Cornell has a speech team

[bronze egret]

One of the best in nation

[unkempt ibex]

Is it just debate or do they do platform as well

Cause if they have OO sign me up

[unkempt ibex]

Tabroom haunts me

[bronze egret]

No they do every type of speech

My friend is OO

comps all over country

[unkempt ibex]

Oh HELL yes

[bronze egret]

And diff continents

[unkempt ibex]

OO is my bitch

[bronze egret]

We have a big Spanish debate team too

Check their insta

They post a lot

[unkempt ibex]

DI too, district champion

Bet

[bronze egret]

https://www.instagram.com/cornellspeech?igsh=aDY1eHFtamM4azd4

This should work

Very cute insta too lol

[unkempt ibex]

Nice

[bronze egret]

Idk all the acronyms but they do a lot of diff types

[unkempt ibex]

I have 827 merit points

And am 5th in my state for OO

6th in DI

That’s so cool, I’d love to be part of their team

[bronze egret]

827 is p good

[unkempt ibex]

We don’t compete on a very large scale, only the regional tournaments around nc

And not rlly in the west side either

[bronze egret]

Yeah that would explain it

[unkempt ibex]

Just the eastern part

[bronze egret]

Mine was on zoom so was rly easy to do the big ones

[unkempt ibex]

Yea but lowkey I destroy them on the local circuit

[bronze egret]

Debate in college is mostly BP style

Policy is not that big

Besides for a few schools

[unkempt ibex]

Yea 2021 was big for virtual tournaments but I joined 2022

I see policy sometimes

I rlly wanna see a world schools debate

I hear they’re entertaining

[bronze egret]

Yeah that’s just in hs

hopefully they're generous

[bronze egret]

JHU would

Michigan won’t

[warm reef]

[bronze egret]

R u pre biz tho?

[warm reef]

[bronze egret]

Don’t do JHU unless med

[warm reef]

jhu no prebiz

[bronze egret]

Unless JHU is a lot cheaper

[warm reef]

[bronze egret]

Biotech is diff story

[warm reef]

this is what im tryna get

[bronze egret]

Ross is fun

[warm reef]

biotech private equity 🙏

[bronze egret]

Like 50 friends there

[warm reef]

i heard the clubs are hypercompetitive

then again thats true at most places

[bronze egret]

Yeah

My friends all placed well tho

But only in Chicago rly

[warm reef]

oh

im tryna do nyc

[bronze egret]

Cornell over Ross by far then

Choice I made bc I wanted nyc option tbh

[warm reef]

didnt apply dyson

im gonna see how bio+stats is

[bronze egret]

Ross is great but rly feeds Chicago vs nyc

[bronze egret]

Couldn’t u double tho

BC in cals

But also it’s rly clubs u do not major

[warm reef]

i could

but idk how feasible that is

id have to do some more research

[bronze egret]

Yeah def see how tmrw goes

But u got good options

[warm reef]

yep

thanks for the insight

[uncut flame]

damm bruh

rejected every reach so far LMFAO looks like im cooked for ivys tmr

[bronze egret]

U never know

[uncut flame]

i dont wanna go to purdue but its wtv bruhh

[uncut flame]

I dont think its looking good rn
nyu reject,northwestern reject, usc reject, cmu reject,MIT reject, caltech reject

[bronze egret]

Purdue is rly good esp if ur instate

[bronze egret]

MIT and cmu and caltech r ridiculously hard

[uncut flame]

out of state but I had a career change, planning to go into finance

[bronze egret]

And NYU and USC barely take anyone rd

[uncut flame]

purdue is dog shit for finance but really good for engineering

[bronze egret]

What did u apply here for

[uncut flame]

cornell?

engineering

[bronze egret]

Yuh

[crude tulip]

hope tomorrow goes well, it only takes one

praying for you

[uncut flame]

thank you

but lmfao lost all moral rn

[crude tulip]

there's been lots of cases where people got rejected from everywhere and accepted to one ivy lol dw about it

[uncut flame]

yea its all luck at a point

hopefully luck favors me tmr

[crude tulip]

yeah def

[old bolt]

why is my fa still processing from 2 momths ago

[uncut flame]

or ucla lets me get off the waitlist lmfao

[bronze egret]

Transfer to Dyson is gonna be hard

[uncut sage]

same

[bronze egret]

CAS Econ or hotel would prob be the move

[uncut sage]

I’m so sad

[uncut flame]

yep but I think its just easier to go into finance being a engineering major at cornell tbh compared to purdue atleast

[uncut sage]

the only reach I’ve gotten a WL to is NYU

😦

[bronze egret]

Yeah you’d just have to get into the clubs

Then you’d be fine

[uncut sage]

Sometimes I wish I never shot my shot

[uncut flame]

yeah, gotta get in first though lol

man it'd be annoying asl if I get rejected all reaches when I grinded high school for this but its wtv

[bronze egret]

Gl 🙏🏻

Faith for all of yall

[uncut flame]

thank you

gl to everyone tmr

[uncut sage]

so true

lowkey not worth

should’ve just done what i wanted

but then again I wanted to go to a t20 so maybe I shouldn’t follow my wants?

[rugged walrus]

i feel like if u didn’t try u would always wonder what if

[uncut flame]

I mean i dont regret it

but it'd be nice to get in

[warm reef]

go boilermakers

[uncut sage]

I’d rather be conceited and believe that I could’ve done it while not trying instead of letting my soul get sucked dry

[uncut flame]

lmfao real

im between UCI or purdue but thinking of it purely as a finance perpective both seem ass

might as well go to rutgers

[uncut sage]

purdue is clutching up so huge for my march madness bracket i like them

[uncut sage]

purdue is cheaper than rutgers tho

[uncut flame]

nah im in-state

[uncut sage]

RBS is cool and all but new jersey is awful

get out while you can

[bronze egret]

Like half of cornell

All the rich jersey kids

[uncut flame]

i live in the city in new jersey

i see nyc every day when i wake up

so not complaning

[bronze egret]

Yup one of them

[uncut flame]

[rugged walrus]

[uncut flame]

the "astro" that has been working for 6 years+

[uncut sundial]

if it makes any of you guys feel better I applied to 20 schools (mostly elites ones) and got rejected from 14. The only ones I got into were safeties and Cornell. It really only takes one.

Also Cornell was the very last application of the 20 that I opened

[opaque orbit]

if i get rejected cornell i will eat all of ny's corn 🙏

[tame sandal]

lowkey i had very similar numbers 😭

[lone jasper]

Praying rn 😭

denied 10, 2 waitlists, one GT, and 3 acceptances (top is tufts so far)

Cornell needs to clutch up so hard

[soft crag]

Noooo, please don't give me false hopee-

I dunno how I'm gonna make it through the regular school day tomorrow.

[hasty anvil]

Real

I did not need two midterms tomorrow

[leaden axle]

guys it’s ok i put in the word for you all

[uncut brook]

Scheduled a job interview 2 hours before Ivy results come out

Using it to get my mind off the day

[soft crag]

Two midterms on Ivy day-?? Ooofffff-

My condolences.

[unique musk]

[mossy jay]

[old bolt]

cc bound

[timid sail]

[hoary herald]

[hoary herald]

[tropic vector]

Adding on to this. Cornell was the only "top" school I actually got into. Rejected everywhere including UVA in-state

lol still salty about that day. About twenty students from my school get in there every year. Admissions are such a dice roll nowadays you never know unless you shoot your shot

guess im gonna transfer to cornell now 😔

[jagged surge]

same 😔

[oblique bough]

relax guys

let’s see what happens

it’s not a 0% acceptance rate

you being here means you’re probably slightly ahead of the average applicant

[atomic tusk]

its basically the same

[oblique bough]

I feel you

[atomic tusk]

prolly 5%

😭

[oblique bough]

it is

but hey

SOMEONE has to be that 1/20

it may very well be you

[atomic tusk]

i saw u in transfer chat a lot

is transfering to cornell hard

[oblique bough]

I’ve never been recognized like this

[oblique bough]

idk we’re gonna find out in the next few months

[atomic tusk]

im new 😔

[oblique bough]

percentage wise

it’s 10%

acceptance

[atomic tusk]

💀

great

[oblique bough]

but apparently that includes people who were offered a transfer option

(Basically like a “keep ur gpa at X and we will guarantee u a spot in Cornell in 2 years)

[atomic tusk]

2 years???

[oblique bough]

like

[atomic tusk]

whats the point

no social life

😔

but then i hope i get it

cornell is cornell 😭

🥀

[oblique bough]

Cornell orz

[native trellis]

Yes, and your fate is to match with the perfect university for you! It always ends up working out, hard work is what matters.

[jagged surge]

Same

I feel like my brain has convinced itself that I am rejected

[native trellis]

It’s not necessarily bad to lower expectations in order to not felt as hurt just in case, but you genuinely never know. Anything can happen…

[jagged surge]

hmm

[old bolt]

astro got me crying

[gleaming heron]

this is why they should just mail out decisions so we can find out the old fashioned way

portal astrology is so stupid

[hasty anvil]

Same mate

[hasty anvil]

Real

[old bolt]

portal astro is real
