It only took an email

Or two

Or fifty

But who's counting

[glad sorrel]

bro

[tame sandal]

what'

[glad sorrel]

if ur gonna pre why not go

all the negatives of going out and no positives

[tame sandal]

the other i used my csa bigs

and got it confiscated

by cupd

[glad sorrel]

no way 😭

[frosty garnet]

did u loci

[urban ivy]

fuck no i'm not learning how to write a loci just for them 💔

im ngl i don't even know enough about cornell to write a loci i just like snow and they're ranked pretty high

[frosty garnet]

LMAO

[slender pawn]

bro i still have no clue how to write a loci

[crude creek]

gang i think ur fine

do u rly want to go here more than stanford

[slender pawn]

no

i already rejected the offer

[crude creek]

come here its better then nu

[slender pawn]

i wrote my loci for mit tho

[crude creek]

shouldnt have

stanford mogs anyways

[slender pawn]

i mean its not like people get off the mit waitlist anyways

so i probably wont have to choose between them

[urban ivy]

umass cambridge sucks anyway

[slender pawn]

😭

[uncut sundial]

wait fr?

so many white girl songs

[uncut sundial]

WWWW

[crude creek]

dude its fire

idk what u mean gang

[uncut sundial]

Oh I didn't mean to insult it lmao

Nothing wrong with a little white girl music

I love 2010s throwbacks

[frosty garnet]

yeah on may 1st they're gonna immediately come out with the "unfortunately, we are releasing you from the waitlist"

[rugged light]

when are the housing forms due? do we only get them when we commit

[bronze egret]

You’ll have to commit

[tame sandal]

@bronze egret

[bronze egret]

DAMNN

[uncut sundial]

wheres this?

[tame sandal]

Level b

[vapid mason]

bruh

dont be like this

atp just withdraw from waitlist if ur not gonna go for ppl that actually will go

[turbid sky]

does anyone know when waitlist accepts start

[bronze egret]

Changes every year

Get ready for USC

[frosty garnet]

it's 1-1 so if they decline it instantly goes to someone else at least

[civic bridge]

guys

my friend said they got into cornell for one year at some other place and then go to main campus

so i looked it up

and i cant find any information

anyone know abt it?

[frosty garnet]

its called the cornell transfer option

try looking that up

[muted wasp]

🌽🌽

[tame sandal]

“Main campus”

Bro saying like its emory

😭

[turbid sky]

im js asking for my friend lmao

hes ucla tho unless he gets off 😛

[bronze egret]

Transfer option

[cerulean shoal]

lowkey

ucla prob better all 4 years if in state tuition 😭

but ucla 1 year cornell last 3 would go hard

[bronze egret]

Depending on program but yeah in state hard to beat

[cerulean shoal]

indeed

like prob for hotel cornel mogs

[frosty garnet]

real

like my friend is cmu -> cornell

[crude creek]

nah bruh u might as well stay atp

[crude creek]

why would they transfer atp

cmu is great

[frosty garnet]

their dad went to cmu, so they probably wanted something different

feels good to get in somewhere 100% on your own merit

[crude creek]

ehh that doesnt make sense to me

like if its 4 yr vs 4 yr it would make sneese

if u have to transfer for it it just doesnt

my friend tunred down stanford for brwn cuz quad legacy stanford but i can get behind that

[frosty garnet]

yeah idk either but they did it 😭

[frosty garnet]

based tbh

[urban saffron]

Tf

[tame sandal]

My friend is cmu to corn

Transferred cuz hes premed not eng/cs

[civic bridge]

is it guarenteed

[tame sandal]

No

U have to complete requirements to remain in good standing and on track for ur degree

[bronze egret]

Based on grades mainly

And also taking the right classes

TO for what school?

[tame sandal]

i think its guaranteed given u complete the requirements and guidelines outlined to u

But ofc if ur like failing out of ur college they dont want u 😭😭

[frosty garnet]

its based bro

[frosty garnet]

yeah but as long as ur not like an absolute bum i think ur chilling right

[surreal scarab]

Yeah I got the transfer option and for my major the only requirements were maintaining a 3.0 gpa and taking one sem of calc, and 2 sem of any science I want

[frosty garnet]

did u turn it down

[surreal scarab]

Yep

Going to nyu instead

I hate science

😭

[bronze egret]

Yeah it’s not horrible

NYU will be great tho!

[surreal scarab]

It’s def doable and I’m positive that I could have completed those requirements

But I just didn’t want to be stuck in a science major at Cornell since I changed my mind about what I wanted to do mid way thru senior year

[surreal scarab]

I’m really excited!! Hopefully I can go to Cornell law 🤞🤞

[tame sandal]

Cant u keep the TO

And decide at the end of the year

Or does the nyu plan for firstyears not allow u to take the reqs to maintain it

Oh u were in engineering ?

At cornell?

Or ig cals is also like largely science

[surreal scarab]

Well I’m a spring admit at nyu and Cornell requires you to do a whole year

[tame sandal]

Ohh

[surreal scarab]

Plus my major at nyu is like purely humanities

[tame sandal]

ic

That makes more sense

[surreal scarab]

I would have to take community college courses while I was at nyu

[tame sandal]

Yeah rw

Ew*

[surreal scarab]

Exactly 😭

but I’m confident in my decision and worst case I apply as a regular transfer to Cornell if I hate nyu which I don’t think I will

[tame sandal]

The main thing that bothers me abt nyu is the security

But ig thats good if ur a student and not a visitor

😭😭

Actually pmo needing to pull out my id and an email everytime i wanted to enter a building

[bronze egret]

That’s the dream

Wait what major were u here lmao

[surreal scarab]

Bio and society at cals

[bronze egret]

Oh damn

I know one bsoc kid pre law here

[surreal scarab]

I fear the bio bit would have brought my gpa down a lot tho

and ik law schools r obsessed with gpa and lsat

[bronze egret]

What r u at nyu?

[surreal scarab]

Double major in global public health and media cultures and communications but I plan on switching to global public health and double majoring in history or sociology

I plan on minoring in law and society

[bronze egret]

Dope

Why didn’t u do brooks

Or CAS?

Out of curiosity

[surreal scarab]

At Cornell?

[bronze egret]

Yeah

Like the public health major

Or communications in arts and sciences

[surreal scarab]

This is kinda embarrassing but my sat was not very strong

and cals was test blind

[bronze egret]

Ah lmao

[surreal scarab]

Plus towards the beginning of my senior year I wanted to actually do science

I’ve taken ap bio ap calc ap chem

All these stem courses I go to a stem high school

[bronze egret]

What r u planning to do with ur sem off?

[surreal scarab]

But after I took calc and chem I realized I lowk hate it and want to do humanities and law

[frosty garnet]

real

[surreal scarab]

get a job get my money up 🤑

[bronze egret]

Start saving up for law

Gonna be 110 a year

So fun

[surreal scarab]

Oh and I’m def taking several community college courses

[bronze egret]

Good good

[surreal scarab]

Knock out a few classes at nyu

And I’m possibly interning at the White House this summer 😝

[surreal scarab]

Oh!😀

[bronze egret]

Wait you’re not sure?

It’s May lmao

[surreal scarab]

R u trying to get to Cornell law? Are u currently an undergrad

[frosty garnet]

spending time with that orange man

[bronze egret]

Might do 3+3 here

[surreal scarab]

Def not😭

[bronze egret]

Main incentive is no lsat and save a year of tuition and they make law cheaper

But not sure

[surreal scarab]

Unfortunately because of how disastrous things r rn it may not happen

[bronze egret]

Yeah ik all my friends got DOD pulled

[surreal scarab]

Lots of stuff going down in the us government

[bronze egret]

Which unfortunately is exactly why I did biz undergrad

For job stability

[surreal scarab]

Sorry what’s that

[bronze egret]

3 year undergrad 3 year cornell law

[surreal scarab]

Ooooh ok ok

[bronze egret]

Might apply for Harvard’s junior deferral program

And work for two years before

[surreal scarab]

yeah Cornell was always my dream school I applied Ed and everything

[severe timber]

switching majors for sophomore year!

[bronze egret]

Welll I got rejected nyu

Expected tho stern rd is hein

[surreal scarab]

We’re opposites

Yeah I did not apply to stern😭😭

[sinful forum]

rejected from NYU but accepted to cornell

[bronze egret]

I def could have gotten in with Ed

[sinful forum]

wowza

[bronze egret]

But I didn’t want to go to nyu

No campus scared me

[surreal scarab]

I get that

[bronze egret]

Also missed Barron

[surreal scarab]

Cornell’s campus scared me a bit when I toured I felt a little isolated

[bronze egret]

But stern is hella good

[bronze egret]

Yeah everyone has diff preferences

[frosty garnet]

what is this

[bronze egret]

I go to nyc like once a month

[surreal scarab]

Yep yep

[severe timber]

theres like 3 ppl from my hs going to stern this yr

[surreal scarab]

praying everything works out for Cornell law tho

[bronze egret]

Ylu get in at end of junior year and commit to Harvard law but go work for 2 years first

Then come back to law

Columbia has too

[frosty garnet]

ohh ive heard of that

[bronze egret]

But I’m banned from applying there

[severe timber]

why😭

[surreal scarab]

from Columbia

😭

[bronze egret]

Antisemitic

Jewish parents

And a lot of law firms blacklisted them

Don’t wanna deal with that when cornell places better

Even if nyc 💔

It’s ok I’m interning there

[surreal scarab]

Ohh that’s understandable

[ruby oyster]

is it worth applying to cornell ED for international needing aid

or do they like deffer everyone to RD

[severe timber]

why not

[ruby oyster]

cuz i heard that cornell usually defers that demographic to RD and then pick like the best int to give aid to

idk if thats true or not

[severe timber]

hm

depends how cracked u are i guess😭

[muted wasp]

it’s all speculation

[frosty garnet]

this

[surreal scarab]

Kind of feeling sad about not taking the transfer option to Cornell- I know it’ll be better for me to go to nyu for many reasons but it was my dream school and I’ll always love Cornell

[frosty garnet]

i mean why did u turn it down

u couldve turned it down a year later

[surreal scarab]

I was deciding between going to ucsc for a year then Cornell but I would be kind of stuck as a bio and society major as I would have to fulfill my requirements for that major at ucsc

And after a year of taking ap chem and ap calc I realized that science courses while doable make me really miserable

if I wanted to transfer out of that major at Cornell I would most likely be behind a whole years worth of credit

[tame sandal]

Eh

Not a whole year

But yes a little bit behind

And i think youd have to wait a semester before switching

[tame sandal]

Theoretically u could come and not take any bsoc reqs

And only take reqs for a diff cals major u like like gdev

Unless u wanted out of cals and into ilr or smth else

Thats harder and yeah much more of a headache

[cedar fable]

Any waitlist movement guys?

[surreal scarab]

Ugh yes that means I would have a year and a half of bio and society stuff

[surreal scarab]

For my transfer option it said I would be specifically admitted for biosoc, plus I would much rather just be like a history major at arts and sci

[tame sandal]

I mean yeah

Cals admits by major

They dont monitor the classes u take tho

So if u tend to switch majors u could just take gen eds or affiliation coursework for that other major

B it yeah if u wanted to switch colleges thats harder

[tame sandal]

No

[surreal scarab]

Yeah so I’m thinking I’ll just apply as a regular transfer to arts and sci if nyu doesn’t work out

[tame sandal]

Didnt u say u were required only 3 courses firstyear

Thats not bsoc for a year

😭

Ud have to take a bio course and phys sci course in cas anyways

For distribution

[surreal scarab]

Yeah one sem of calc, 2 sem of diff sciences, and 1 sem of optional but recommended social science

[surreal scarab]

Ohhh so the courses I take in my first year at another school could count for CAS gen Eds?

[tame sandal]

Idk how transfer coursework works

But theoreticaly yes

Idt transfer coursework can count for dist

But idk for TO

probably more likely

but idk

[queen hemlock]

Is today the day

That I get rejected

[sinful forum]

hello

i just got a email from cornell...

i need some cornellian advice por favor

im waitlisted for Brooks Public Policy and I got a email from Cornell asking if im interested in participating in the DC Start program where I spend my first year in DC

tbh i dont really want to do that but im worried that if i say No then im going to also lose my normal waitlist spot

they say in the email that if admitted then i have to do DC Start

[bronze egret]

Yup

[bronze egret]

New program they’re rolling out

Basically next 75 kids they want vs waitlisting them/ultimate rejection

Usually that’s a rly good sign to have the form

Most likely means brooks normal is filled up

And only this is left

[sinful forum]

ohh

😦

[bronze egret]

Like Nolan is entirely filled

No waitlist movement is gonna happen

I can’t speak for sure for brooks but if u want go brooks, I def would

Its first sem tho

Not first year

[sinful forum]

ok wait

suppose i do this

right

and if i want to switch to CAS, would that be possible?

or would that delay this

[bronze egret]

After freshman year yeah

Same as normal

Why switch tho?

Unless u wanna double major

[sinful forum]

i want to do Gov major which is in CAS

or i could double major

hmm tough choice

[bronze egret]

Brooks>>>gov by a long shot

[sinful forum]

i will have to confer with the parents lol

[bronze egret]

But see how u like the school if u come here

Where r u commited rn

[sinful forum]

UW-Madison

[uncut sundial]

oh fire

I haven't been yet

[tame sandal]

U cant double in gov from brooks to be clear

[tame sandal]

Well yeah u need to be over 21

[uncut sundial]

yeah haha

21 yo sophomore lol

[tame sandal]

?

[sinful forum]

u cant double major in different schools?

[tame sandal]

No

[bronze egret]

Within a school

[uncut sundial]

youre not 21 i dont think

[sinful forum]

ohh

[tame sandal]

Who says i took the picture

And i know a 22yo freshman dont be insensitive

🙄

[uncut sundial]

yeah ofc you didnt

[bronze egret]

Level b is mostly freshmen

[uncut sundial]

ik

[tame sandal]

Why is bro mad at me

😭

[uncut sundial]

im not

it's just funny

[cedar fable]

any idea of the waitlist movement for engineering? thanks

[severe timber]

Wait idk how it works for brooks but I got a rly similar email confirming interest for CAS and then got off 2 days later

[plain yoke]

Manifesting for us but it's probably gonna be rlly low cause Cornell's yield is rlly good for engineering 😭

[vast ridge]

Question for Cornell students: how bad is the grade deflation really? And do you have any regrets for ED’ing there for those that did? 🙏

[tame sandal]

It depends on ur major but its rlly not that bad

Also depending on ur field ur gpa lowkey dorsnt matter

[cedar fable]

yes manifesting lol best of luck

[tawdry rivet]

IDK tbh

Cause I got into the DC start thing

They want 43 people minimum but admited like 50 people

Good luck tho @sinful forum

[bronze egret]

How do u know #

[cedar fable]

Wait is it possible for Cornell to not reach out period?

[tame sandal]

yes

waitlists can remain open into august

[bronze egret]

Yes

[dim vessel]

gl to cornell eng WLs I declined

[tawdry rivet]

Cause I saw 50 on CUontheHill

And the organizer said 43 at the DC start Open House

[glad sorrel]

some people don’t show up on day one and spots open lol

[mortal horizon]

for those of u who filled out the brook wl form did u get a confirmation email

[uncut sundial]

not bad

There really isn't deflation in most cases, just a lack of inflation

Mostly just for a few stem depts

[tawny oxide]

factual information, in fact one student did not show up to Harard on Day 1 (maybe more, but I know for a fact one girl did not show up because someone in my entryway got a single in a doubles only building bc of it lols)

[tiny rock]

I got off CALS waitlist !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[errant mantle]

CONGRATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

r u gonna come 👀

[scarlet thistle]

Are Cornell waitlists usually done by May?

[frosty garnet]

idts

[bronze egret]

The majority yes

Then TO’s

[mortal horizon]

did u know if anyoone got off the waitlist ever for brooks

[bronze egret]

For DC def yeah this year

For regular prob not many if any

[mortal horizon]

like ppl who already got into brooks and were waitlisted from dc start?

[bronze egret]

No

Like people who are on waitlist will get DC if they get off

[mortal horizon]

oh yh ik that. when do u think they will let ppl know about that

[bronze egret]

Whenever

Depends on yield

[mortal horizon]

is it a bad sign if the brooks people are not getting their wl as fast as the other schools ??? also thanks for ur help

[cedar fable]

is engineering just cooked

[bronze egret]

Brooks is tiny school

Theyre 75 a year

Now closer to 120 bc of DC

most waitlist activity will be CAS and CALS

[mortal horizon]

thats what i was thinking but if u saw the dc start email why was their tone similiar to the cas and cals emails for the ppl who got off the waitlist

[bronze egret]

It’s prob a decent shot

But I’d focus on where you’re committed to rn

See if u get in

What other schools have taken kids off?

[mortal horizon]

i think most of them but most of the WLs came from cals

[mortal horizon]

yh im not trynna get to attached

[bronze egret]

Checks out

Biz takes single digit

That’s rly the most ik abt it

Usually like 3-5 for Nolan and ditto for Dyson

[mortal horizon]

how are the immediate grad outcomes like for nolan

[bronze egret]

Very good

[mortal horizon]

in terms of companies employed at and salary

like do they have to work at hotels

[bronze egret]

Roughly half go investment banking

[mortal horizon]

oh w

[bronze egret]

Other half go consulting or real estate

Everyone clutches their job soph spring it’s nice

[mortal horizon]

so no ones going to work at hotels?

[bronze egret]

No

Maybe like 3-5 kids a year

If anything u do corporate real estate

[mortal horizon]

so why is there a hotel management school in the first palce?

[bronze egret]

Cornell likes being #1

Also just insanely strong alum network

People used to go more into hotel industry but in past decades, everyone goes to finance now

Bc money

[mortal horizon]

hmm yh

how hard is it for people to transfer to dyson and nolan

do people at the other schools get recruited for ib too?

[bronze egret]

Yeah they do

Lot of CAS Econ kids

Transfer is end of freshman year so just depends on grades, essays, and clubs

Lot of kids start prepping to transfer by joining clubs to be able to talk abt those in their essay

[mortal horizon]

where do ilr ppl end up?

like hr?

[bronze egret]

Law

And consulting

Mainly

[mortal horizon]

wbt brooks

do they mainly go into governmetn jobs

or work in private policy jobs

like policy analysts

[bronze egret]

Yeah

My good friend at brooks is interning for open ai this summer

[frosty garnet]

this is cool ngl

[bronze egret]

Lot of gov, public policy, and law from brooks

[mortal horizon]

w. thanks again bro!

[bronze egret]

Yuh ofc

Hope it works out for you either way

[mortal horizon]

i will let yk 😤

[noble cedar]

What about private equity/buyside finance

[dim vessel]

probably very rare

[bronze egret]

Ik kids that got that this year

But the traditional path for anyone is IB>buy side

[dusky ice]

Yeah we are probably not gonna get off

[halcyon nova]

any cas updates

[mortal horizon]

i saw someone on reddit get in at 1030 am

[mystic bear]

😔

[mortal horizon]

that was cals mb

[vapid mason]

💔

[cedar fable]

✊😓🥀🪫

[tropic vector]

I got into a lab I was so panicked after the cuts but I actually got into a lab 😩

[uncut sundial]

Congrats!

[uncut sundial]

Louis the Child was unexpectedly good

[obtuse remnant]

anyone get a fin aid email?

i got WL'd but somehow got a fin aid email asking for some more details

[cedar fable]

I hear engineering was told to check portal for news yesterday evening. I for one did not receive this email, and I am wondering if any other engineering waitlister got this email

[mystic bear]

Where'd you hear this?

[raw sapphire]

reddit and college confidential

[mystic bear]

doesnt seem like anyone else got other than that reddit person

[cedar fable]

yea

maybe thats the only spot

hopefully not

[plain yoke]

Apparently Cornell has started considering taking students off its waitlist

[mystic bear]

source?

[plain yoke]

My college counselor who has ties with AOs

[mortal horizon]

i mean yes they did take ppl off

[mystic bear]

oooh ok, thanks 🙏

[mortal horizon]

for brooks and cals

and one engineering

[mystic bear]

only one case for engineering is interesting 🤔

[mortal horizon]

i expect that brooks should have little bit more movement cuz i it came in wave

same with cals

i think engineering will drop all their decisions at once

all speculation tho

[mystic bear]

🙏

[dusky ice]

I did not get any emails from Cornell

[meager ether]

Nope but I also didn’t send loci

[rocky edge]

this is pretty ridiculous imo

i feel llike all the college shit should be wrapped up by june

i would want to spend my summer assimilating to a college without being interrupted by a wl offer

[tame sandal]

Some ppl cancel last minute

[edgy locust]

very specific request ik

[bronze egret]

Like at cornell?

[edgy locust]

yeah

[bronze egret]

LAW 7234 and ENGL 6650 do but grad classes

Some FWS’s might cover it

But they change every year

Why?

[edgy locust]

i wanna take a course that covers it

are FWS’s updated?

[bronze egret]

In July

https://fws.arts.cornell.edu/brochures/2023FA_Brochure.pdf

Here is example from last year

[edgy locust]

i see

ty

[tame sandal]

u could also just talk to a prof abt it or msth

[edgy locust]

wouldnt be as fun 😦

[bronze egret]

Dont expect a class to just be on moby dick

It’ll likely be one of many books covered

[rocky edge]

what the hell 😭

are there any courses on dystopic literature at cornell

[tame sandal]

yeah

i took a course called utopias

the prof is dog shit

i liked the topic and submissions/assignments tho

and readings and stuff

[last plume]

has anyone gotten off dyson

[cedar fable]

any news on engineering

[bronze egret]

Don’t expect movement there rly

[halcyon nova]

anyone off cas

[frosty garnet]

my friend

[mystic bear]

anyone off coe

[last plume]

😪

[unique hollow]

if cornell doenst admit by major, what are they looking for?

how do you stand out

[bronze egret]

What r u applying to

[bronze egret]

Then they’re gonna look for clear passion for CS

as well as normal good grades, test scores, essays, lors

[unique hollow]

just so glad to be done with gen chem

[tropic vector]

On to ochem now

[steady meadow]

ochem 🫨

[white heath]

light work smh

[strong saddle]

Any waitlist movement for engineering ?

[tropic vector]

Yes

[mystic bear]

Where

[tropic vector]

Friends and seeing posts online

[mystic bear]

Where online

I've only seen one on reddit and nothing on college confidential for Cornell coe waitlist

[tropic vector]

There are a few on reddit, and one of my friends got notified for the waitlist

[mystic bear]

Aight it might be over for me 😔

[oblique bough]

It’s never over

[sinful forum]

was the first wave really small?

from what i saw, most of the admitted students from the waitlist were like REALLY good applicants

ppl who already had admission other top schools

[bronze egret]

That isn’t shocking

[sinful forum]

yea thats true

praying i get off 🤞

[red solar]

anyone know when Cornell dropping decisions for Transfers its been decades ;c

[meager ether]

Uhh thur 2pm?

I saw a TikTok where a girl got it thur

[sinful forum]

yup even waitlist decisions come out on thursdays

someone called the admissions office and they confirmed that they release waitlist offers on thursday at 2 pm

so it could be the same for transfers

[red solar]

@sinful forum @meager ether every thursday? I haven't gotten my decision yet

[meager ether]

Uhh idk

[dusky ice]

Yeah

[uncut sundial]

highkey looking forward to chem with more relevance to my interests

[glad sorrel]

another year at cornell another big red bed

[sinful forum]

thursday today so hopefully waitlist comes out today 🙏

[red solar]

When is transfers coming out

[dusky ice]

I was so excited to receive an email at 2:07 PM just for it to be a stupid newsletter

[wind sapphire]

Mine came out at 5pm ET if that helps anyone?

[sinful forum]

😭

[sinful forum]

ohh interesting

ive heard tat it usually comes out at 2 pm

but idk if that is PST or EST

so from what ur saying it could be PST

idk y tho cuz cornell is EST 😭

[wind sapphire]

Mine was CALS if it matter but yeah just checked and it was 5:05 EST

[sinful forum]

oh interesting

okie i wait 2 more hours

[wind sapphire]

Good luck!

[velvet wharf]

so far its CALS Brooks COE that have moved

others is crickets

[cinder ice]

Too late to send updates?

I got a new somewhat large award but its a little far in the process I’d imagine

[velvet wharf]

If you sent a loci already it shouldn’t hurt

[cinder ice]

Yeah I did back in early april

[urban ivy]

i lowkey had the same question LMAO i won usnco honors and didn't know if it was worth updating

[velvet wharf]

Any waitlist movement?

[dusky ice]

I had a dream I got off the waitlist, but then I woke up

[velvet wharf]

the universe is playing games with u

[red solar]

Cornell must hate me or sum, May 26 and transfer decisions have not come out yet this is sad

[cedar fable]

yo thats so real I did too

[sinful forum]

can someone check their portal and see if checklist is still there? transfer ppl are saying that their checklist is gone and yesterday someone called admissions and they said that if checklist is gone then it means decision is coming

[cedar fable]

by checklist do we mean the forms sections or smth else

I havent had a checklist for a while i think

[glad sorrel]

no use doing portal astrology tbh

[plain yoke]

Can we assume Cornell isn't taking any more waitlist ppl 😭

[red solar]

@plain yoke I got mine yesterday, got declined ;c

[sinful forum]

wait u got off the waitlist yesterday?

[red solar]

@sinful forum yeah, its rolling decision so it comes out whenever

[sinful forum]

wait are u a college transfer or freshman waitlist?

[velvet wharf]

school?

[red solar]

transfer

[red solar]

cornell

[mystic bear]

I think he's asking coe, cas, cals, Brooks, etc

[tame sandal]

U should’ve assumed this regardless

U don’t stay pining for a different school for months if you committed elsewhere

[plain yoke]

Asking does not mean I’ve been pining for Cornell

[tame sandal]

Assuming u will get of does

Off

[plain yoke]

Where did I say I’ll get off

Damn no need to take shit so seriously

[tame sandal]

I didnt 💀 i said one sentence

[red solar]

oh uh whatever school for cs

I should've done hotel management honestly

[severe timber]

theres two with cs, coe and cas

[bronze egret]

Do you want to go into finance?

[red solar]

cas

[red solar]

yeah, I do, I going into the data science route with a minor in economics or something. Then get my masters. Either way, even if I did get into cornell I probably wouldn't have gone because of the cost/ the fact i also will need to take my masters later on.

[tough cape]

where are you going in the fall?

[red solar]

@tough cape umass amherst for computer science its like ranked 13th or something so its still good

[pseudo bridge]

anyones portal change

heard the checklist dissapeared

[wild lance]

friend just got off cornell waitlist

[bronze egret]

CAS?

Fuck why did my mom predict that yesterday

She still stalks college confidential 😭

[wild lance]

engineering

[glad sorrel]

bro 😭

[bronze egret]

I can’t with her sometimes

[glad sorrel]

how do you text your mother like this

why does your mother text like this

[bronze egret]

Im white

[tame sandal]

Self awareness 💯

[glad sorrel]

[charred wasp]

She’s so real

My mother loves CC STILL

[bronze egret]

Im p sure my mother knows of yours 😭

[charred wasp]

Oh 100%

What does you mom say lmao

[severe timber]

[velvet wharf]

Ain’t no way ur parents use cc

[weak stag]

has there been any waitlist movement

[velvet wharf]

Crickets

[tropic vector]

Not that I'm aware of

[strong saddle]

Anyone with portal changes this week ?

[errant mantle]

[tame sandal]

Reddit moment

[tropic vector]

Those are just the low rise/high rise showers. No big deal

[wild lance]

friend got off dyson waitlist yesterday

[tame sandal]

what

dont u shame the rises like that

thats definitely a donlon shower.

[tropic vector]

Low Rises deserve all the hate

[cerulean shoal]

😨

[tropic vector]

Got into CALS internal transfer 🎉

No more engineering 🔥

[tame sandal]

lmfao

[urban ivy]

waitlist dead 💔💔

[cerulean shoal]

common engineering L

[cedar fable]

what yall mean waitlist dead ✊😔

[tame sandal]

She so perty

[sinful forum]

@tame sandal do u know if cornell gives a lot of TO options to waitlisted kids who end up not getting off the waitlist?

[tame sandal]

idk a lot but yeah i assume so

[sinful forum]

ouu ok

[iron magnet]

Waiting on cas waitlist 😔

I love the campus sm I'm really hoping cornell pulls thru 💔

[tame sandal]

yall.

so many ppl have matriculated that they have turned dorm lounges into hextuples.

😭

[iron magnet]

So waitlists r not looking too hopeful 😔

[bronze egret]

Never expect waitlist no

It’s also June

If anything prob TO movement, I’d focus on ur current uni

[iron magnet]

Yeahhh Cornells just been my dream school so :(

I just got off a waitlist so im currently commited there so

Lowk Idk if id wanna make another deposit either way

[bronze egret]

Ahh I know the process is horrible

I don’t think cornell requires a deposit for TO but idk

Just bc TO technically isn’t guaranteed

[iron magnet]

Not transfer! First year

I just committed to cmu and the deposit was $800 😭

[bronze egret]

Yeah I’m trying to say expect TO movement this late

Not rly waitlist acceptances

[iron magnet]

Ohhhh I see

[bronze egret]

CMU is great tho

[iron magnet]

Yess but my mainn major was biochem

CMU i got in for engineering

[severe timber]

Wait did I edit ur locis😭

[iron magnet]

UHH IM NOT SURE

I did ask someone for help on my NU loci here but that's all I think

[severe timber]

No u saw my tiktok and then found my insta😭

[iron magnet]

OH WAIT FRM IG?

OH YES

[severe timber]

YEAH

[iron magnet]

LOLL

Omg ur edits actually helped so much tho!

CMU i only had like a 300 word limit so cutting it down like u said really helped 😭

I used the cornell LOCI u revised

And just cut out some more info

And used that for CMU

I'm actually so surpised i got off the WL for cmu cuz I heard it's like near impossible

[severe timber]

Omg yayyy congrats

Glad u found it helpful idk if I was doing anything😭

[iron magnet]

Nooo ur revisions actually made sm of a difference

Thank u!!

[urban ivy]

no waitlist movement

kms

[wild lance]

would u acc go cornell over nu

[urban ivy]

i fear not

i just want the aura

[pseudo bridge]

anyon getting the financial aid emails again

[molten steeple]

When’s the latest anyone’s gotten off the waitlist

Is it still possible at this point

[tame sandal]

enrollment is july 21

so even if u could u dont wanna get off after then

[radiant oasis]

No more waitlist

[molten steeple]

How dyk

[iron magnet]

Rejected 😔

They sent an email out

[molten steeple]

Really? Can u send a pic of the email

I haven’t gotten anything

[iron magnet]

😔

Perhaps not getting an email is a good sign?

Or they might be doing it in rounds

[molten steeple]

Fuck that’s actually bad

What time did u get it at?

And did your portal update?

[tame sandal]

they might do it in rounds by college

or major

or region

[tame sandal]

didnt u get in and commit elsewhere by now

[molten steeple]

No I got waitlisted at Cornell

[solid karma]

has anyone gotten anything from CALS 😵 i don't have any updates yet

[molten steeple]

Nothing from human ecology yet either

[iron magnet]

11:15 pst
Im on mobile so I can’t rlly tell if the portal changed, but i don’t think so

Mines for cas biochem

Rip my Cornell dreams 😔

[tame sandal]

Biochem and mse r so different

😭

[molten steeple]

Damn man sorry to hear

Just waiting for mine now lol

[iron magnet]

YEAHH LOLL
I wanted to do radiology as a career so I thought of doing engineering on a premed track cuz of the whole tech aspect of radiology

But I was getting waitlisted by all my engineering schools so the second half of my apps, I just ended up switching to biochem 😭

[iron magnet]

Wishing u luck ✊✊

[tame sandal]

wait thats super cool

yeah radiology has so much physics

[iron magnet]

Yeahhh I’m just hoping engineering on premed isn’t toooooo much work 😅😅

[tame sandal]

i switched out of engineering premed

but i wish u luck

also i believe u dont have to be MD to be radiology? so theres also that

i wanted to shadow radiology at suny upstate and they replied and were like "we're not actually mds so maybe apply to shadow elsewhere"

😭

[iron magnet]

Was the workload a lot for u?

I was planning on MSE + BME premed

Cuz cmu doesn’t offer BME alone 😅

[tame sandal]

idk how this translates at cmu

but

BME major at cornell is 137 ish credits

[iron magnet]

Really??? I wanna do diagnostic radiology so maybe it’s a little different?

[tame sandal]

• premed is like +12 credits

so 149 credits

to graduate

149/8 = 18.625 credits a semester

[iron magnet]

I think it’s similar at cmu

I just hear that the workload is a lot for engineering at cmu

[tame sandal]

consider that u are doing physics, math, english, bio, chem each semester

for 4 semesters

so i switched out

after thinking abt that

😭

[iron magnet]

I think imma try premed but engineering is pretty flexible I feel

[tame sandal]

not at cornell 😭

[iron magnet]

😅

[tame sandal]

esp in the bme program

[iron magnet]

I’ll figure it out on the way I guess

[tame sandal]

the bme program isnt quite large so its like

many classes are only offered fall

[iron magnet]

Yeshhh BME I heard isn’t as flexible

[tame sandal]

or only offered spring

[iron magnet]

Ohhhh I see

[tame sandal]

so u have to stay on track

or ur behind a year

like i wouldve liked to explore bme but not at full load each semester of courses all in different areas

while i also had interests in psych

[iron magnet]

Yeahhh I see

Cmu I don’t need to add BME until the spring semester

So I think I’ll see how I’m managing first

I just don’t wanna burn out freshman year 😭

[umbral stag]

im also committed cmu but i havent gotten the waitlist email yet

[modest vector]

What school at Cornell are u

[umbral stag]

CAS

[modest vector]

Oh that’s weird

I thought everyone at CAS got it

[umbral stag]

i checked my spam and everything

my portal hasn't changed either

[modest vector]

Did u check ur actual portal

Oh.

Hmmm

Maybe they sent preliminary rejections?!?

[umbral stag]

this false hope shit is evil 😭

[modest vector]

No fr

Bc I still haven’t gotten an email either and part of me is still holding on hope

Free us 💔💔

[umbral stag]

exactly

[modest vector]

This is so weird bc I was under the impression that CAS was done with their waitlist and it was closing by school

[umbral stag]

i mean when ppl said they got it I thought it was wraps but i had nothing

[modest vector]

But no other school has gotten emails yet and now some CAs ppl are still on the waitlist too

[umbral stag]

i hope the updates atleast come out tomorrow and not monday

but part of me feels like monday makes more sense

[modest vector]

Lmao we’re gonna go feral if it comes on Monday

[umbral stag]

fr 😫

[modest vector]

It’s bc they’re preparing our acceptances 😍

[umbral stag]

oh fs

theyre assigning my dorm rn 😤

[modest vector]

They’re currently renovating the bathrooms for us to move into 😍😍

Apparently they’re having a housing crisis

[umbral stag]

i literally JUST saw something about hextuplets

oh nah

[modest vector]

5 roommates is insane

[umbral stag]

no fr

but ill take it if it gets me in atp..

[modest vector]

We take what we can get

[tame sandal]

Its the fact that the ppl i talked to placed into hextuples were ed applicants

😭

[urban ivy]

wait i didnt get any emails about waitlist closing

[modest vector]

Penn or Cornell?

[urban ivy]

cornell

[solid karma]

i fear a monday notification 💀 i was really steeling myself for today bc most of the other wl notifs have been thursdays

has anyone gotten TO yet?

[modest vector]

Not yet

It’s prob coming

[dusky ice]

Its been 3 months since the waitlist decision

[molten steeple]

Wow

What a journey

Now I just need them to put the acceptance letter in the portal

[severe timber]

My waitlist friend got rbg😭

[molten steeple]

What’s rbg

[tame sandal]

A good dorm

[molten steeple]

Jae does it mean anything that I haven’t gotten the rejection email yet

Or are they just gonna do it on Monday

Bc Cornell gives 5 business days to accept a waitlist offer

But Tuesdays just two business days away

[tame sandal]

idk and im sorry if this is insensitive but im of the stance that waitlists shouldnt be pined over. there's a reason i aint feeding into this conversation 😭

pls dont drag me into your astrology

[molten steeple]

I need Cornell.

💔

[bronze egret]

Plan for ur other uni

Don’t go crazy abt waitlists bae

[umbral stag]

Honestly if youre keeping up w the stuff for the school u committed to, i think u can pine over them

cause at the end of the day, you know the deal

[tame sandal]

I think it sets u up for hating the school ull probably end attending

U should be using yhe time to get to know peers, get to know the school ull go to, plan ur dorm, plan ur move in

Which imo is not things ppl who are pining do bc they involve a mindset not a checklist

Like i could learn to love any college i just need to spend the time with her

Obv like for example id be hella disappointed if i ended at suny bing or rit compared to cornell but there are things abt every college that id have enjoyed
I also understand wanting to know so i can move on but thats frustration , not pining to the level of “I need Cornell”

[modest vector]

Free us from the waitlist he’ll

[molten steeple]

Lowk you wouldn’t get it unless ur in the position

[tame sandal]

yeah i mentioned that

[molten steeple]

@iron magnet did ur portal change

[iron magnet]

Naur it didnt

[modest vector]

Was the update a rejection?

[modest vector]

Ok to recap what has been happening for the Cornell waitlist so far according to Reddit and CC:
• A wave of rejections was sent out yesterday for some people from CAS. However, not everyone in CAS received a rejection?
• No other schools, specially COE CHE CALS received any update. I’m speculating that each school is handling its waitlist individually
• No one has been admitted off the waitlist this week. Only rejections
• Apparently Cornell is above capacity and based on historical trends, it’s likely that Cornell is preparing to send out TO offers by July 1st. I’d be surprised if anyone gets in for Fall ‘25

[bronze egret]

Housing also already happened for incoming freshmen

As Jae and I both agree, as much as it sucks, expect only rly TO to be left it’s almost July

[modest vector]

TO ain’t bad

[bronze egret]

UCLA is also incredible

So you’re fine either way

TO isn’t bad, mainly just a big social/club switch

[tame sandal]

Honestly

TO is also hard to expect

Bc the amt they admir TO yes it involves some yield where they exceed the number they want bc its nonbinding

But its not like we have a bajillion beds for sophomores co29

Like

Theyre not going to admit significantly less frosh just to give rooms to TO

[urban ivy]

crazy it's been 3 months since i got waitlisted

does not feel like that long

[modest vector]

Don’t remind us 😭😭

[dusky ice]

Did anybody get an email today?

[modest vector]

Nope

This is insane, where is our update

[last plume]

I have a feeling cornell just lied

[tropic vector]

Move on from the waitlist. As harsh as it sounds it is very late for any major movement to happen. If they send anything out at this point it'll most likely be for TO.

[tame sandal]

we been saying

[molten steeple]

No I’m getting in

[molten steeple]

Pray on my downfall imma prove you wrong

I will see all of you in Ithaca in September

[tame sandal]

Bro doesnt even know when cornell starts

Holy cooked

[molten steeple]

Oh shoot 😭

Whatever same thing

[umbral stag]

hey at the end of the day we’re all students so we’ll find out all together

hoping to be your classmate this year tho 😉

[sinful forum]

bro i will legit sleep on the floor for cornell plss let me in

[tame sandal]

lol im sry but housing isnt theonly problem

I dont wanna wait 2 hrs for my food

[errant grove]

[errant grove]

[tame sandal]

[errant grove]

personal question for premed at cornell

[tame sandal]

[molten steeple]

Any news on the waitlist?

[tropic vector]

I ate it

[modest vector]

No update is diabolical

[solid karma]

[tame sandal]

[molten steeple]

Jae ur such a Debbie downer icl

[tame sandal]

Thats like the one time i wasnt digging at people

And u call me out for that 😭

Like im being real bro its probably full.

[dusky ice]

Liars

[modest vector]

Cornell u will pay for this

[sinful forum]

welp they officially r late

cuz its 12 am in east coast

[tame sandal]

Damn cornell is full test required

For fall 2026 entry

News to me 😭

[modest vector]

As it should be

Test optional is unnecessary in the post Covid world

[old finch]

Theres still too many problems with it

SAT and ACT suck

[modest vector]

I agree that the sat and act suck but the data behind the idea that sat act predict college readiness can’t be disputed

[old finch]

i got a 35 and im not ready for college chat

They need like an anti doomscrolling and brainrot test for college admissions too

[errant mantle]

yeah we're getting cooked on this 😭😭😭😭

[errant mantle]

i agree, even if it's an imperfect tool standardized testing does have a lot of value

[uncut sundial]

[umbral stag]

my portal looked more empty but maybe im bugging and its still the same

[umbral stag]

it looks like the ss that was sent a few days ago

[molten steeple]

Can u reply to it I can’t find it

[umbral stag]

ty sam

[modest vector]

Another day of no responses from Cornell

💀

At least say u extended the waitlist

[umbral stag]

it changed again, now my waitlist reply form is gone

treating this chat like my diary fr 🥹

[bronze egret]

Idk why they’re holding out on yall

Dumb asf

[tame sandal]

Cuz the intls gonna be kicked out

[bronze egret]

Yeah just sucks bc no date for when that may happen

Which is also why you shouldn’t play refresh with your waitlist screen

[umbral stag]

hey gotta keep myself occupied at work somehow 🤣

[umbral stag]

which is messed up, and horrible

ever since i heard about the tufts student all the way back ive been praying for these students

and the budget cuts and restrictions on education show just exactly where its going to end up in america’s future

sigh

[tropic vector]

Tornado at Cornell 🙀

[hidden badger]

ok they jus updated my portal

rejected

i wonder if anyone got in tho atp

[molten steeple]

I will not be seeing all of you in Ithaca in the fall 😔

[cedar fable]

yea i just got email

havent checked prob trgic

[tame sandal]

Fake news apparently

[sinful forum]

you guys will unfortunately not be seeing my presence in ithaca this fall

[tropic vector]

[dusky ice]

Yup waitlist rejection

[modest vector]

Got extended waitlist???

[tame sandal]
