I got itno Cornell COE for CS last year and I never got anything from them lmao

#

I was even in one of their like scholars programs

#

it should be mandatory that colleges have fancy acceptance packages

#

#

its currently around 800 words so like 2 pages

slender pawn
#

#

Im in the greatest FWS now so I'm chilling

uncut sundial
#

there's a short reading before every class but I never do em ;)

#

I had a super chill one last semester

#

loved it

tropic vector
#

One of my favorite classes. Science and Society: Writing Medicine

uncut sundial
#

Oh is it actually good

tropic vector
#

The grading is a little harsh with a 92 being an A-, 95 A, and 99+ A+, but I'm thriving

uncut sundial
#

ah ok

tropic vector
#

A+ with four essays graded so far 🎉

uncut sundial
#

mine is like 40% participation so I think ima chilling grade wise

tropic vector
#

Mine is like 10% participation

uncut sundial
#

yeah mine last sem was like that

#

it saved me

#

brought me barely to a 97

#

this is roughly what im thinking for next sem + another class or 2

image.png
#

but idk whether it makese sens to take phys 2207 since it's gonna be harder

tame sandal
#

Im taking 1101 next sem

uncut sundial
tame sandal
#

Is it harder ?

uncut sundial
#

I only have to take phys 1101 and 1102

tame sandal
#

2207 is the same thing as 1101 just not async

uncut sundial
#

but I've wanted to take calc based physics since high school

tame sandal
#

2207 isnt calc based

#

1112 is calc based

#

😅

uncut sundial
#

ok but it has calc prereq

#

1101 is explicitely without calc

#

ok wait I didnt realize phys 1101 was async

#

how tf does that work

#

maybe I got this wrong

tame sandal
#

U can intermix the tracks

#

1101 1102 and 2207 2208

#

People usually 1101 then 2208

uncut sundial
#

alr

uncut sundial
tame sandal
#

2208 harder part of physics

tame sandal
#

Weekly or unitly quizzes

uncut sundial
#

why do people do 1101 then?

tame sandal
#

Why not ?

#

2207 aint gonna ever fit my schedule

#

It meets like 7 times bro

#

😭😭😭

uncut sundial
#

true

tame sandal
#

Also i took mech in hs

#

So

uncut sundial
#

doesnt 1101 meet just as much

tame sandal
#

Self paced shouldnt be terrible

uncut sundial
tame sandal
#

Did u do 1445

#

For bio

uncut sundial
#

tame sandal
#

oh

uncut sundial
#

I'm a little afraid about doing a self paced course

tame sandal
#

#

I dropped biochem this sem

uncut sundial
#

I wasn't good with tht in HS

#

why were you taking biochem?

tame sandal
#

Cuz im premed

uncut sundial
#

what about orgo 2

tame sandal
#

Yeah

#

I was gonna be a lil nerd

#

And take them at the same time

#

My bestie is

#

And hes acing

uncut sundial
#

do you have a life?

tame sandal
#

I didnt even touch a page of biochem so i swapped it for smth else

uncut sundial
#

this is why cornell has such a bad rep

#

self inflicted

tame sandal
#

🤷‍♀️ im double majoring w a minor and premed

uncut sundial
#

orgo 2 and biochem is crazy tho

tame sandal
#

Need to take my classes some time

tame sandal
#

Hello

uncut sundial
tame sandal
#

Im taking it next sem

uncut sundial
#

#

tame sandal
#

😭😭

uncut sundial
#

thats the normal time to try it

tame sandal
#

u can still not gap

#

If u take jr fall

#

I just wanted premed over with

#

But i decided to take cs 2110 so i got other things on my plate

#

That didnt leave room for biochem

uncut sundial
#

My parents have convinced me to keep the premed door open so imma continue as is and try and take the MCAT junior spring and whatnot

uncut sundial
uncut sundial

#

I also take classes every winter n summer

tame sandal
#

Nah necessary prereq completion

#

And major requirements for my double

uncut sundial
#

#

like 5 extra classes

fallow flame
#

this is a stupid question

#

but is the trump funding cuts gonna affect me getting rescinded lol

#

my grades r way lower than in the past but not enough to get rescinded usually

Funding cuts won’t affect you most likely

# lone basin which research fields dyk

Dear Cornell community,

Cornell is aware of media reports suggesting that more than $1 billion in federal grants have been frozen. While we have not received information that would confirm this figure, earlier today Cornell received more than 75 stop-work orders from the Department of Defense related to research that is profoundly significant to American national defense, cybersecurity, and health.

The affected grants include research into new materials for jet engines, propulsion systems, large-scale information networks, robotics, superconductors, and space and satellite communications, as well as cancer research – work of significance for our national defense, the competitiveness of our economy, and the health of our citizens.

We are actively seeking information from federal officials to learn more about the basis for these decisions.

Cornell is a land-grant university that serves New York state and the nation. The university has worked diligently to create an environment where all individuals and viewpoints are protected and respected. We are committed to working with our federal partners to continue the contributions made by our scientists and scholars.

Sincerely,

Michael I. Kotlikoff
President

Hey guys, when submitting my waitlist application for Cornell, it asks for an updated official grade report. Is that just like my mid-year transcript or a later on like progress report

sinful forum

winning answer 💀

#

Is the grade deflation something that exists in all classes at cornell? Also im going into biological sciences but not pre-med necessarily; so does the grade deflation still apply?

tame sandal
#

it is just lack of inflation

#

people are dramatic

#

engineering has far more deflation than premed

tropic vector

You work harder for a good grade

Is Cornell still expecting a loci or would sending one hinder my application?

Clearly not expecting one

#

Theyre not a girlfriend they wont say one thing and mean the opposite

do cornell cals locis matter? how important is it, and should i plan to email it to my regional ao and upload it to the portal?

#

addtl info includes dropping/adding courses, starting new Extracurriculars, receiving awards

#

etc

tawny oxide
#

You have to report if u drop or add courses?

tame sandal
#

a loci is more of a reiteration of "i love this college" and "why collegE" info essay

tawny oxide
#

Interesting

Dang

its like hiding that u couldnt handle a class

not the ADDTL INFO

#

its diff in college unless ur hs is wack

mystic bear
tame sandal
#

enrollment works much differently from where i come from

tame sandal
#

thats an update

dusky ice
tawny oxide
#

Oh yeah it’s entirely different just funny comparison

tame sandal
#

also i only updated them with relevant ECs

#

like i got my EMT-B certification

#

or im gonna volunteer at a hospital for my sr project

#

and intern for some psychiatrist

#

it wasnt like

#

hey i walk dogs for fun + money now

#

😭

mystic bear
tame sandal
#

and im going to end up swapping and moving a bunch of stuff by end of add drop

#

😭

tame sandal
#

a LOCI = letter of continued interest in the college

#

an update = additional information to add to your application

mystic bear
#

ok so the conclusion is I should write an update to cornell

tame sandal
#

do u have smth to update them on?

mystic bear
#

new extracirriculars

tame sandal
#

are they relevant/impactful

#

would they make a difference in your application

mystic bear
#

ill say it's relevant

tame sandal
#

in the update? or u mean in ur opinion

#

if in ur opinion, go ahead. adding information cant hurt

#

what can hurt is breaking explicitly stated rules (e.g. "dont contact financial aid rn we are working out problems")

#

thats an example ik most colleges dont link their finaid and admissions offices

mystic bear
#

oh alright. Thank you! Hope I didnt uhh annoy you too much 😭

dusky ice
#

If I got an A on my dual enrollment LinAlg class should I just send an official transcript and move on?

tame sandal
#

yeah

#

what info would u add if u didnt?

#

"i studied really hard!"

#

😭

#

theyd see it on your midyear but ur usually supposed to give them an UPDATE (notice the definitional differences between LOCI and Update that i have stated 2-3 times) because you can explain why you dropped, but this is less important if it doesnt end up as "Withdrawn" on ur transcript and rather completely removed

#

yeah

#

probably doesnt matter

dusky ice
#

This email was why I was confused in the first place, but I think it was just a matter of the general college and the individual programs

U can get a decision at any pt

U should just update them

When u get the grades

for basically all the top quant shops i know at least one person who's interned there or is going there full time

that sounds awesome

#

u should do

tame sandal
#

pls dont finish that sentence

#

😭

#

bc ur either going to tell me to do a minor i dont even like, something i was already considering, or something that exceeds my current plan

#

and all 3 of those would irk me so hard and its like 1:30am

#

lmao

tame sandal
#

but i feel like ur overly positive and would say yes regardless of what i say r the cons

but my classes are always async or online lol

#

u could spend that additional time doing projects /work/ research instead of tagging on another major no?

tame sandal
#

im premed so i dont really do freelance projects

#

i do work and research

#

the classes are not that hard

#

😭

#

i research in 2 labs throughout the sem and work jobs during sem + summer and volunteer over summer

#

its not that hard to balance, especially if the class is async

cerulean shoal
#

i think so

#

it was the cornell experience thing

vapid mason
#

hello everyone

#

cornell encourages you "to have your school submit an updated official grade report". My counselor already submitted my mid year report before RD decisions even came out, so do i have to do anything here?

My school is split into 4 quarters and the midyr report only has my first 2 quarters. Would they want my 3rd quarter grades or are they referring to mid yr here?

meager ether

#

u just take the classes lol

#

wdym how

#

we couldnt see our grades throughout the trimester

#

so we first saw them at the mid-trimester

#

the mid-trimesters were not sent to colleges

#

and were technically confidential between student and teacher

#

and couldnt be released elsewhere

#

idk if ur policy is similar

#

or if its diff since quarter is an actual system whereas a systerm of 6 segments (midtrimester + trimester) is not an actual system

elder abyss
#

hmm ill ask my counselor when i get back from break

#

i j wonder if its still worth submitting the grades

#

#

My first day back to school after spring break is April 22nd. Should I request Third Quarter Grades if I am on the Waitlist even if the school might not receive it that soon?

#

Also since I’m doing engineering, I shouldn’t send a loci just updates right?

not much deflation

#

just lack of inflation

velvet wharf
#

I got rejected by all the grade inflation schools

#

😔

tame sandal
#

premed classes tend to curve to B or B+

#

the only actual deflation ive heard of was in engineering

#

our inflation is more so in dyson and hotel

#

but i think they changed that

velvet wharf
#

For most colleges

tame sandal
#

yeah

#

thats what i said

no deflation

I've heard some horror stories about the chem department

Would you say the premed advising is also sufficent?

Esp*

but personally i prefer peers/premeds year(s) above me

#

For experiential advice

tame sandal
#

Maintain above 3.0 gpa and it could help if u complete the language req or start it

#

Also ensure ur able to graduate on time in the major u plan to seitch to
