#

mm prob not significant but there will be a dif

#

now if u were to ask like cs vs those

#

yes there would be a differnce for sure lol

#

cs os popular 🥀

#

yea for it the

#

mentino project teams lol

potent pond
#

tweaking

#

consider confounding variables

#

when u say this

#

cals admits by major

#

so

#

id assume they care 💀

sullen ibex

#

in-state boost

#

transfer option

sullen ibex
#

thats true ig

#

wait

potent pond
#

that already counts for a big chunk

sullen ibex
#

transfer doenst go int

potent pond
#

lol

sullen ibex
#

acceptanc erate

#

thats why they do it

potent pond
#

it goes into transfer AR

#

ig

sullen ibex
#

yea i dont htink that coincides with main ar

#

schools do that in order to like

#

keep their ar low

potent pond
#

in-state boost alone is a decent amt tbf though

sullen ibex
#

yea true

potent pond
#

and legacies

#

and faculty children

#

etc.

#

legacy idt gets a super boost

#

faculty children do

#

which also adds to the instate

#

factor

potent pond
#

why the fuck every year "our biggest class in hsitory!"

#

"we need to implement sextuples sorry guys 😔 "

#

like holy fuck just stop admitting

#

😭

#

Ridiculous

#

For engineering be authentic. Show your interests are creative and a fit to the college. I wrote my supplemental about how ideas from engineering and my personal interests (i.e. music) can come together. I think I talked about CMC to contribute ideas through unique perspectives.

#

If youre out of state CALS admissions will be comparable to other private colleges here

sullen ibex
junior kayak
#

It is, but it's a lot more comparable

#

CALS acceptance rate is overly inflated by in-state

they still read so blandly 😭

they should put the sophomores and upperclassmen into west and south and put freshmen into morrison and ganedago

#

this is just for the why cornell essay right? or is it for all? I used my community and 4 shorts prompts to kinda give a multi dimensional view of myself as a person

tall marsh
#

no

#

i agree

#

You will all get in and then we will all live in dectuples

You will all get in and then be placed on a former frat house converted into a barracks.

Hi

loud topaz
velvet estuary
#

should i mention project teams in my why cornell engineering supp cause its one of the #1 things about cornell engineering that i like, or would it be too generic

sullen ibex
velvet estuary
sullen ibex
#

or if theres any way u can contribute

#

take a peek at cuauv lol

velvet estuary
#

It looks really interesting, underwater autonomous vehicles

#

Is that related to robotics?

sullen ibex
#

its just robotics for an autonomous submarine

sullen ibex
velvet estuary
#

I’m crazy for robotics so hopefully if I get in I can do a project team like that it sounds really cool

sullen ibex
#

it’s a whole other application process

#

i think most top project teams have acceptance rates of under 5%, and i think 1/3 of ppl who want to join one end up on one

velvet estuary
sullen ibex
#

same thing for business clubs

naive sinew
velvet estuary
#

If all the good stuff is competitive

#

Then what do you do if you don’t make it into anything

sullen ibex
sullen ibex
#

that’s why u cast a wide net

naive sinew
sullen ibex
#

yea ive done interviews for most of the one out there

#

thats one was like

#

for me at least

#

ur put into a random group and like ur given a task to complete and u draw ar obot that doesit and ur group presents it

#

its so hard to actualyl differentiate skill there

#

and how r u supposed to like not be generic

naive sinew
#

They didn’t do that this year it was presenting pre made robots but still pretty much the same

sullen ibex
#

i think that interivew process is good for a lot of more creative/artistic people but then u lose out on a lot of actual top nothc talent

naive sinew
#

And yeah I agree cause they were all in groups so I’m not sure how individuals are chosen

sullen ibex
#

its ur like collaboration in the group

naive sinew
#

Yeah I know but that’s a very subjective thing

sullen ibex
#

il admit i ditn perform the bet in that interview anyways but i also thoguht the format was kidna strange

sullen ibex
#

ive been on the other side of delibrations for business club cases

naive sinew
#

Mostly for the people who are obviously not working well together though

velvet estuary
#

For the majority who don’t get into project teams

naive sinew
sullen ibex
#

wat engineering major r u

velvet estuary
sullen ibex
#

yea should be a lot for u to do

velvet estuary
sullen ibex
#

but even outside fo that theres clubs/labs where u shouldnt have to apply to join

tall marsh
#

u have a 3.3??

#

damn ur school kinda cooked u

#

but maybe they will understand cus intls have different grading systems and all

tall marsh

#

bruhh

sweet haven
#

did anyone get a Cornell idoc request yet

stiff oyster
#

IDOC does not mean anything

#

dont stress

pseudo ridge
#

wait did you ED?

#

nothing in my emails so far

sweet haven
#

oh well it’ll probably pop up eventually

tall marsh
#

the thing where you submit tax forms

#

it’s css

sweet haven
#

yeah it’s part of the css profile

#

so if your applying for institutional aid they ask u to submit idoc

#

Which is verifying what you said on the css application

pseudo ridge
#

gng any intl applicants here got any updates on their apps

#

cuz all this idoc talk is scaring me

severe tide
#

are there any other brooks applicants here i swear i cant find anyone else applying there

stiff oyster

brooks very small

and ig this applies to many colleges

love the campus

cornell financial aid portal broke when i was trying to check my financial aid checklist what the hell 😭

loud topaz
#

i didn’t 😭 😭

#

they just emailed me for my idoc and i’m confused bc it’s already been transmitted and uploaded

tall marsh
#

try different browser

loud topaz

Lowk i tried on my phone and on my laptop

#

it doesn’t work period

#

hi guys

loud topaz
#

hii

shrewd compass
#

bruh

#

i didn't get any emails about idoc 💀

#

i haven't gotten an email from then since the portal email 😭

loud topaz
#

idk 😭 😭

#

inshallah

potent pond
#

lets not astrology

stiff oyster
#

ok so

#

its not considered like confidential so i can just tell u

#

idoc doesnt mean anything

#

finaid office is seperate

#

its literally just evidence for the stuff u put on css

#

and they do it so IF you are admitted they can package u aid

#

also idoc is processed by college board so cornell doesnt have an incentive to request it for admits only

#

so dont read into it

#

Hi guys

#

I was wondering what major to apply to, as a prospective ds/info sci applicant

one option is the statistical science BA in CAS. another is the info sci in CAS, and info sci in CoE.

naive sinew
potent pond
#

but also CAS doesnt admit by major so if u get into CAS u can major in whatever

tall marsh
#

i cant remember if ive asked this but do a lot of people transfer cals > cas

potent pond
tall marsh
#

that makes sense

sullen ibex
#

i feel like i dont feel that here at all

potent pond
#

i would have an ego against HSers

#

fking rats

#

not against my bestie peers tho

rose trench
# potent pond why not stats in CALS or info sci in CALS

As far as I know, CALS is better for more applied stuff in agriculture, bio, those kinds of fields, while CAS has more integration with CS, Info Sci, ML, and Statistics trajectories. CALS offers Biometry and Data Science while CAS offers statistics and data science

potent pond
#

Yeah cals has btry major

#

Which is their version of stats

#

Their info sci is identical

#

To CAS

#

only difference is the gen eds

rose trench
#

between btry vs. statistical science which would lean towards, for someone looking to take IS, CS, and more ML classes. Do you know if its easier to take those classes if I'm in CAS vs. CALS

potent pond
#

as we keep saying, look at the gen eds

sweet haven
#

Cornell rlly emailed a reminder that ed is a binding decision

#

no shit

#

give me a decision meltingsob

spice gate
frozen cape
#

lowkey im hoping for a deferral cuz an acceptance or a rejection is going to give me a heart attack

#

💀

loud topaz
#

i really hate my application that i sent to cornell so i’m just expecting a rejection rn

frozen cape
#

like im so embarrassed i fucked it up soo bad

sweet haven
loud topaz
#

i’m not taking any of my decisions for granted

sweet haven
#

I didn’t even look back at any of my supps or essays

#

what’s done is done

loud topaz
#

like if i get accepted anywhere i’m pleasantly surprised. whatever. ts is a coinflip

frozen cape
#

like man cornell is GORGEOUS it would be so fucking cool to go theree

#

i live in NY too so it'd be close to home

loud topaz
#

Wait what college did u apply to erinn

frozen cape
#

arts and sciences :)) government major

loud topaz
#

Omg yayy good luck

#

I did cals under biosci which is kinda terrible but it’s alright

frozen cape
#

yeah tbh, i'm really not expecting anything since i'm not even in top 10% of my class

#

maybe i have a chance cuz my background is rlly unusual

#

upward trend in gpa too 😭

loud topaz
#

I’m praying for u 🙏 🙂‍↕️

#

Are you in the city or upstate??

frozen cape
#

im not upstate but im not in the city either

#

i live in the suburbs 😭

#

idk like im prolly one of the poorest ppl in my neighborhood and idk if that's a huge disadvantage

#

cuz i have 'access to opportunity' but shitt i can't pay for it 😭

stiff oyster
#

1 in 2 people i meet here are from the suburbs

#

esp in the state affiliated colleges

lowk how many upstaters go to the landgrants at cornell?

#

like a couple friends of mine who do have that ag background up here bc they live on a farm go to cals

keen basin
#

a lot

#

You meet tons of people from upstate NY, westchester, nyc, etc

stiff oyster
#

the instate rate is attractive for full pays

#

at least in ILR i think a majority are in staters

formal peak
#

yo the difference in the number of essays for arts and sciences vs engineering is crazy

rose trench
frozen cape
#

it’s kinda telling which school / programs are most competitive lol

#

does cornell care much about legacy for rd

#

my dad went there for undergrad and has donated like 100 every year since

#

so like

#

enough to pay for a couple porta potties or something

potent pond
#

my interviewer donated like $5 every year and both her kids got TO

devout sundial
#

Hmm okok

#

Wait so if i do have a pretty good profile that means i have a decent shot?

#

Cornell usually accepts like 4-5 decent kids from my school and then waitlists 2~ sweaty kids

formal peak
#

i think youre fine

potent pond

devout sundial

except that might change cuz a kid got rescinded last year 🥶

#

it wasnt for lying tho it was bc he cheated and then got suspended

potent pond
#

still dk how that information helps u

#

correlation vs causation.

devout sundial
#

School relationship and history matters a lot for admissions 🤷‍♂️

potent pond
#

Not more than ur profile…

devout sundial
#

sorry for asking a stupid question i guess

dim wigeon
#

If I make the assumption that there will be a few acceptances at my school, then I can at least figure out my chances by comparing myself to the other people at my school applying instead of the entire population of seniors

mystic hound
#

but what does "figuring out ur chances" do

tall marsh
#

its not like they have to fill any quota for the school

#

and if they did then theyre promoting the exact mindset you have rn to every other kid in your school

dim wigeon
dim wigeon
junior kayak
#

You shouldn't worry about what your chances are. You completed the application, now it is out of your control. This is only going to stress you out and get your hopes up for a school that rejects over 90% of its applicants. Good luck with everything, but don't go down that rabbit hole

#

This goes for everyone, not targeted to one person

#

i do not wanna write any of my rd apps icl this path month has been so rough

why is cornell's essay 650 words

#

It's ok WE are getting in early and it will be fine that i have 8 more schools to white

loud topaz
#

Ed release date probably less than 2 weeks wtf

#

i'm not ready for ts

mild flume
#

my guess would probably be the 16th given how cornell likes tuesdays and thursdays

#

but yeah i have been clawing at random activites and dumb distractions just to make myself not think about this decision and it's the worst lol

sullen ibex
#

ur gonna be fine gang

if u dont get into cornell remember stanfords calling ur name

why is it so late??

stiff oyster
#

idoc doesnt mean anything

#

its handeled by finaid

#

seperate office

#

grade check is not a hard requirement but is a strong suggestion for all applicants IF they have grades

mellow dragon
#

Is it a good sign?

mild flume
#

does cornell ask for your most recent quarter grades/progress report or the grades that you have like right now

loud topaz
#

are you guys getting these emails sent directly to you or through your counselor

mild flume
#

finals week is going to be hell

#

but at least i have tetris

mellow dragon
#

Did you guys get the same requests?

mild flume
#

im not sure, my councilor hasn't emailed me anything, but that might just be because they do it a few people at a time or its just past his office hours

stiff oyster
#

unless your an athlete and you get a likely letter

#

if you have grades you should send them

stiff oyster
#

any requests are either sent out automatically or bc materials are missing

oh okay

thank you

dont stress too much about it

It definitely is real but im not sure if that really means cornell ed will come out on the 18th for everyone

gosh darn it it is real

im pretty sure it is legit other years QB's dates are accurate

I thought it would definitely be on the 11th

sameee

but lemme double check

the internet

#

yeah man its like not even mid december at that point 💔

next goblet
#

I guess we’ll know in a week tho? Because cornell always gives the students a heads up 2 days prior

ocean beacon
#

that means we'll only know like

#

in more than a week

#

or like the 15th ig

#

they will probably send an email

next goblet
#

Well if it is actually on the 11th then they would tell us on the 9th

ocean beacon
#

oh

#

brother i dont think they're doing the 11th..

#

🙁

next goblet
#

But historically theyve always been releasing it on a thursday

ocean beacon
#

yeah

next goblet
#

So imo its either dec 11 or dec 18

ocean beacon
#

they did like tuesdays and thursdays

#

then did hardcore thursdays

next goblet
#

Dec 11 feels a bit early but at the same time dec 18 is wayy too late

ocean beacon
#

especially since last year it was the 12th

next goblet
#

Yeah

#

I mean I guess it’s most likely gonna be on the 18th

#

But at the same time I feel like they might release on different dates 🤷

#

I might just be coping atp

stiff oyster
#

guys

#

trust the qb letter

versed helm
#

so sad

white sapphire
#

historically they release the decision one day before their final week

#

so 12th last year

#

and if this holds, 11th this year

#

however the qb letter says 18th

potent pond
#

Our ldoc is the 8th

#

And our last day of finals is like always 20 or 22

#

Will they send us an email a few days before decisions come out to let us know when?

yeah, alot i think

they didn’t request mine so i’m getting worried that’s bad news

Yes. If your school doesn’t do Q1 grades they def don’t ask. Or if your school sends them automagically

#

14 more days...

wicked coyote
#

ur right i actually don’t

#

but out my school doesn’t have quarters just semesters so my most recent grades would be second semester 11th grade

which they would already see

i asked my counselor and she said they would only be sending out mid year reports

Damn uchicago ea comes out the day right after cornell ed

I don't know abt yall but for me I'm pretty sure that my semester 1 grades are finalized after the decision date

#

Cuz those are def finalized

#

My school only does semester grades tho so would they just have to send in current grades if they get a request?

peak socket
#

yes, if they asked they would want to see in-progress grades

#

i have a 4.0 this semester dogelaugh i wont mind if they ask

#

why r ppl from my school who got likely letters saying that the ed decision is coming out earlier than the 18th

#

like my friend who got recruited by cornell told me its coming out next Thursday or Friday according to their sports coach at Cornell

#

r u guys totally sure that the qb release and the actual release are the same

loud solstice
#

@ mods ^^ ?

mellow dragon
misty scroll
#

yeah the likely letters for the athletes that applied ed

#

his coach said the ed decisions are coming out earlier

#

which is why im confused how yall landed on the 18th

loud solstice
#

maybe atheletes get in earlier?

misty scroll
#

that’s what i was told by him

loud solstice
#

interesting

#

🤷‍♂️

misty scroll
#

so idk maybe the qb thing comes out on a different date than the ed

misty tartan
misty scroll
#

but i lowkey trust someone who was recruited and has a likely letter more than qb speculation

misty tartan
#

Last year Cornell’s was accurate

#

I’d trust your friend if they had written proof

loud solstice
misty tartan
#

From Cornell

loud solstice
#

stop giving me hope

misty scroll
#

i can prob ask for the text from the coach

misty tartan
#

Bc QuestBridge is run admissions coaches are not admissions

#

Like I’ve seen coaches tell athletes they’re gonna get admitted and then they don’t

misty scroll
#

they have a likely

#

its a guaranteed admission

misty tartan
#

I’ve still seen those get denied

misty scroll
#

never seen d1 athletes with a likely get denied

misty tartan
#

You’d be shocked at how scummy the recruiting industry is

misty scroll
#

so im j telling u what the coach said

misty tartan
#

You’re free to believe your friend but I would generally recommend believing things that come out of the admissions office more

misty scroll
#

also

#

how are some ppl already getting their decisions back

#

that aren’t qb

#

like ppl from my school have gotten into stanford when their ed decision date is later

misty tartan
#

Idk Stanford’s system but I have personally not heard of them admitting earlier than ED and have heard of plenty of people lie like I saw a girl post a tiktok the other day of getting into Cornell ED (she didn’t)

junior kayak
#

I wouldnt trust random people without proof. Someone from my school claimed to get into Harvard before decisions released

#

And I'd also trust QB over a coach. Coaches only have influence on admissions and don't work with the admissions process at all.

#

Pls don’t tell me every club at Cornell is that competitive

junior kayak
#

Most clubs dont have real applications to pick and choose members. The only hypercompetitive organizations here are professional clubs, project teams, and research

#

There's clubs for everyone here that you can join

velvet estuary
#

Like how do u get rejected from a club you’re qualified for

loud solstice
#

I did a lot of research in hs so I want to continue that at cornell hopefully

junior kayak
#

No. I'm pre-med and I am apart of a research/competition organization for laproscopic surgery and a competition/community based medical org.

#

A lot of the "hypercompetitive" organizations are hypercompetitive because they admit on vibes and not qualifications. Cornell EMS will reject qualified and certified students to take new students with no prior knowledge.

#

Just because a group is hypercompetitive does not mean its good

#

Youll find something

velvet estuary
velvet estuary
#

But if it’s all gatekept into hyper competitive clubs then that lowkey sucks

junior kayak
junior kayak
#

If you get rejected you can apply again. Some students get rejected and reapply to get accepted their second or third application.

#

There's lots of project teams and many opportunities to apply. They are competitive because they have limited slots and too many students apply

My first year was engineering. I transferred to CALS for biosci

#

100%. There's cornell maker club which grants you access to a really nice lab with equipment to work on personal projects.

#

Top Gun is an organization I am apart of for laproscopic surgery with different subteans. I train individuals to operate the simulators, but we have subteams for engineering the device, coding, etc

velvet estuary
#

Like stuff I can do with other people too?

#

Oh nice

junior kayak
#

Most team based organizations with subteams have engineering aspects

velvet estuary
#

So I guess it’s not all bad or competitive

junior kayak

Big school, but hundreds of organizations

Fun organizations and professional

loud solstice
#

@junior kayak dyk if its easy to change majors inside of arts&sciences? I'm not totally set on studying what I put on the commonapp

junior kayak
#

I can't answer for A&S since I'm not in that college, but @potent pond is in A&S and might know

#

Anything outside of engineering or CALS I cant answer

potent pond
#

so

velvet estuary
potent pond
#

it doesn't admit by major.

#

you're not locked into anything until you declare here

#

which usually happens between 2nd and 4th semester (inclusive)

velvet estuary
#

Yeah I mean after you declare

#

If you want to switch is it easy to?

potent pond
#

i guess? why would u declare then switch tho

loud solstice
velvet estuary
#

So it’s good for a school if that allow they flexibility to switch cause many don’t

potent pond
#

i feel like that question is major dependent

#

not college dependent

#

like if ur in ur 3rd semester tryna switch from CS to BME

#

you will likely be screwed if you dont have your BME pre-reqs done

#

whereas a major like Info Sci you could add to ur load 4th sem and finish in time

#

and if ur in dyson or ilr the college is the one major so switching means entirely internally transferring

velvet estuary
#

Yeah that makes sense

#

Some colleges like UT Austin that admit by major often straight up deny switching majors lol

loud solstice
#

i think the larger public schools do this

potent pond
#

thats not a thing here

#

internal transfer can be hard, varies by which ur trying to switch into

#

but switching just majors isnt super deep you just should take the needed affiliation courses first and its dependent on ur capability to graduate on time

stiff oyster
#

from what i understand its generally "easier" to transfer to CAS, CALS, hotel, or humec (if not the public health thing)

#

but i wouldn't bank on it

potent pond
#

eh

#

CALS u need 3.5

#

hotel u need certain specific coursework

#

id say CAS is easiest, idk much abt HumEc but since its public land grant i assume they might also screen for those bailing for instate tuition

#

hardest is Dyson

#

then Engineering but thats just bc the track for almost every engineering major is so specific that you could easily be behind and if youre behind you shouldnt be transferring in

stiff oyster
#

#nomatterwhereigoipaythesametuition

#

but i know ppl that have considered switching to ilr for the discount ngl

potent pond
#

i heard someone got rejected

#

for it

#

idk any other context tho so idk if fake

#

i went from private to private even tho im from NY 😂

junior kayak
potent pond
#

yeah

junior kayak
#

You dont need a 3.5 to internally transfer to CALS

#

Far from it

potent pond
#

thats what it says on the website

#

🤷

#

CAS needs 3.0

#

CALS wants 3.5

junior kayak
#

The website details requirements by major

potent pond
#

ah maybe i was looking at a narc major

junior kayak
#

You internally transfer through a major in CALS. Different majors have different requirements

#

But no CALS major has a 3.5 cutoff

#

Biosci is a 2.75+

potent pond
#

maybe im old

#

cuz when i checked my freshman year

#

it said 3.5..

junior kayak
#

Environmental engineering is 2.5+

potent pond
#

so.

junior kayak
#

The website is not updated and inaccurate in some areas

#

I brought this up to CALS when I transferred

#

Because I was under the impression I was ineligible without a 3.5

#

Obviously that wasnt the case

#

Highest GPA requirement is 3.0+. Lowest is 2.0+

#

As long as you meet the CALS requirements they have no reason to not accept you. As long as you arent failing courses and have a good reason, youre most likely in. They dont have a quota to fill

ocean beacon
#

11 more days

#

i think they only ask after you get accepted to make sure you keep them up

but im not sure

like they won't use ur q2 grades when looking over ur ed app if that is what ur asking

Also, for the prompt "Why are you drawn to studying the major you have selected and specifically, why do you want to pursue this major at Cornell CALS? You should share how your current interests, related experiences, and/or goals influenced your choice." would it be fine to mention my interest in double majoring, or should i focus solely on the single major?
