Cornell University (2025-2026)

[loud solstice]

lowk if it gets to RD im going to chatgpt a bunch of my essays and make cursory edits and just send them off

[frozen cape]

if i dont get into Cornell my chances of getting into Yale are basically nonexistent lol

[timid ivy]

i mean winter break should give ample time

in my essay writing prime i finished like 4 300 word essays in one day

[loud solstice]

no i have to do an entire sci research project over winter break

[timid ivy]

oh

[loud solstice]

• im getting my wisdom teeth taken out over break

so

[timid ivy]

broo

[loud solstice]

not trying to add to the pain with college essays

[timid ivy]

start skipping school at this point

[loud solstice]

this christmas will NOT be very jolly if i get rejected

[timid ivy]

the thing is i would take time to write essays in class bc theres like at least 3 hours in the day where i can do that

but imm always anxoius that ppl r watching my screen and like

reading my writing

and just thinking

"bro this guy sucks at writing"

[loud topaz]

my mama's been telling everyone that i applied cornell ed and i have people asking me about cornell and it's so ass

[loud solstice]

real

[timid ivy]

ohh bro my aprents do the opposite

when friends ask where im applying theyre just like

[loud topaz]

i just want to get accepted so i can go up to boston winter break and not gaf

[timid ivy]

"ohhh yea u know stony brrok and what not"

[frozen cape]

i lowkey cooked with my personal statement but my cornell supps are reallly rough around the edges

so thats like 😭😭

my mom is kinda like expecting me to get into cornell

she really wants to brag about me to all of her friends bruh 💔💔💔

[grim locust]

What did u write re it about

[timid ivy]

the letter s

and how they HATE it

[loud topaz]

wait i'm realizing i kinda wrote my essay about a letter

oh my god bruh no

[frozen cape]

its pretty personal but i basically wrote about my experiences of being autistic in the public school system and being latino and how those labels kinda compounded to make people have lower expectations of me, and how i tried to exceed those expectations

my english teacher read it and said she was proud of me and that itd impress admissions officers and she wrote my LOR so that was lowkey an ego inflation moment

😭

ive kinda been talking myself down after that tho

i dont want to get caught up and think cornell is all that bc its really not the solution to all of my problems

[frozen cape]

wait how 😭

[loud solstice]

genuinely feel like i will be able to feel joy again if i get in

[loud topaz]

i wrote mine about the scarlet letter and how it made me recognize nuance in my day to day life

[loud solstice]

omg i hated the scarlet letter

holy shi

[loud topaz]

it's kinda nothingburger

Bro.

[loud solstice]

im sorry but that book was atrociously bad

[loud topaz]

Scarlet Letter one of my favorite books ever

[loud solstice]

💔

[frozen cape]

if the committee sees past my blatant typos and clear lack of polishing on my essays maybe ill get in 😭

[grim locust]

I wrote about how winning an improv competition made me realize my love for science and lab work and how I can function as a duality

[frozen cape]

my ECs are kinda ass

i have leadership positions but all of them are low impact 💀

i also had a grade dip in 10th grade so it might be wraps

[loud solstice]

my grades are pretty bad but hopefully my ecs make up for it

[frozen cape]

i only have 3 Bs on my transcript total the problem is 2 of them are in Spanish and I'm Hispanic 💀

[loud solstice]

better than me 💀

[timid ivy]

yo fr

[loud solstice]

i have ike 7 B's

[loud topaz]

It's ok i got a 4 on ap spanish exam and i'm latina

[frozen cape]

[loud topaz]

Ts pissed me off

[loud solstice]

Everyones looking for ppl

The entire freshman yr

[loud solstice]

[potent pond]

After that it diminishes a little but ppl still v friendly

[next goblet]

How long did it take you to find your friend group

[potent pond]

I met most my best friends from dorm or mutuals from those people

[junior kayak]

Your freshman year is for making friends. If you find no one youre forever alone the rest of your time

[potent pond]

But u can meet a lot thru clubs and classes too

[junior kayak]

Jk

[potent pond]

A week

[timid ivy]

[potent pond]

Some depending on the club u mean

Most dont

[loud topaz]

Whattt

[potent pond]

If u mean like biz clubs like a little

[timid ivy]

like stem or cultural

[loud topaz]

It's like 9 degrees out and i'm a couple hours south of you lot

[potent pond]

Project teams dont rlly haze

[next goblet]

My friend said she’ll nepo me into the entrepreneurship club if i get in lmao

[potent pond]

Cultural clubs dont haze

Theres too many ppl

[grim locust]

How hard is it to get research experniece

[junior kayak]

Not hard

[potent pond]

Frats often haze, specifically social frats or biz frats

[potent pond]

Not at all

[junior kayak]

Most people get research here if they want it

[potent pond]

Just cold rmail

[grim locust]

Oh thank god

[timid ivy]

[frozen cape]

[junior kayak]

I reached out to one lab and got in I didnt have time email thousands

[timid ivy]

[potent pond]

Idk much abt urm exp cuz im asian

[junior kayak]

The only thing to do in Ithaca are Target runs and Wings over Ithaca

[potent pond]

But ppl do often spend money to do things so you could feel left out if u dont give urself spendi nt room

[next goblet]

Oh wait can first years own a car

[junior kayak]

So besides Cornell overcharging students youre fine

[frozen cape]

yeah mostly i figured bc of how isolated the campus was there would be less opportunities for me to spend money i don't have lol

[potent pond]

Dont say that

😭

Please

[junior kayak]

Lmfao

[grim locust]

r the wings decent

I’m ok if the wings r decent

[loud solstice]

[junior kayak]

Wings over Ithaca will be saving my finals season

[loud topaz]

Is there a bdubs in ithaca

[loud topaz]

YES

[grim locust]

Ok but like u already know the answer

[loud topaz]

[loud solstice]

[potent pond]

But theres 3 smaller ones

[timid ivy]

[frozen cape]

THEY WILL GIVE ME AID

💔💔💔

[potent pond]

[junior kayak]

Literally every bridge has a net. What school has bridges going over gorges, and what bridges dont have nets

[loud topaz]

Syracuse is so bad

[next goblet]

Pray cornell accepts meee

[loud topaz]

Bing has better education than syracuse bruh

[loud solstice]

[potent pond]

Theres also costco in rochester

[frozen cape]

💀

[potent pond]

[loud topaz]

Bing has nothing

They have a wegmans in johnson city

[potent pond]

Ithacas a suburb/borderline “city” not rural waste

[stiff oyster]

wegmans is amazing

[loud topaz]

Im too rural brained

[potent pond]

[frozen cape]

bing just dont gaf then LOLL

[junior kayak]

The Chipotle sucks if you order door dash burritos. Only go in person

[stiff oyster]

[loud topaz]

Too binghamton minded

[timid ivy]

[potent pond]

J get a car

Broke

Brih

[timid ivy]

my friend got the guy that opened the wegmans as a judge at a deca competition

[frozen cape]

fuckk i was gonna rely on the bus

[stiff oyster]

my insurance quotes say otherwise

i dont own a car i just rent

[junior kayak]

Cars are not worth it in Ithaca imo

[potent pond]

I fucking wonder why

20 mph over speedlimit

[junior kayak]

If you have a friend with a car youre good. Buses go everywhere

[potent pond]

Or was it 40

[stiff oyster]

it was 50

[next goblet]

Im getting one soon 🤞🤞

[grim locust]

Can freshman being a car

[next goblet]

Dont u have to pay 1k for the parking pass tho

[junior kayak]

Yes

[potent pond]

Yeah

[potent pond]

You don’t have to buy it

[stiff oyster]

u can its 750$ anually for parking on campus

[loud topaz]

Why would u need a car though ithaca's bus line is so comprehensive

[junior kayak]

1k for parking or you can be a rat and park in the apartments for cheap

[loud topaz]

and it's free apparently for first years

[frozen cape]

i dont even know how to drive 💀

the one time i tried i almost drove into a telephone pole and now ive challenged myself to see how far i can go in life without learning

[stiff oyster]

i would say just wait till u get into a frat/sorority with free parking or move off campus to get a car

[potent pond]

Faster

[stiff oyster]

TCAT sucks

[potent pond]

Convenient

[next goblet]

Idk more convenient for grocery runs n shi

[loud topaz]

True

[potent pond]

No buses go to west campus

During the weekdays

[loud topaz]

Ohhh wtf

[stiff oyster]

[ocean beacon]

anyone applying Ed to cOE

[shrewd compass]

day 18 of regretting not mentioning the icecream on my application

[loud topaz]

where would you even put ice cream mention

you might talk about the farm but idk

[shrewd compass]

why cornell

that was an essay right 💀

[loud topaz]

yea but i don't know what the ice cream could say about you or what you're getting out of cornell

[shrewd compass]

imma get icecream

😊

[loud topaz]

I will support cornell's thriving dairy business by buying ice cream every day #accept#me

Contributing to the community lowk

[shrewd compass]

one of my friends

thought that cornell was called cornwall 😭

[next goblet]

Me

[shrewd compass]

took all of my self restraint to not like throw something at her

[glad swift]

woah where did that pizza come from????

that looks fantastic

also what's the context for the zebra finch pic?

[potent pond]

Thompson and bleecker

Its quite a popular place here

[glad swift]

ooh good to know

[potent pond]

One of my labs works with zebra finches!

[glad swift]

NO

WAY

neurobio stuff?

no pressure to answer to avoid doxxing if necessary

but what for?

[potent pond]

Yeah neurobio and social stuff

[glad swift]

:O

mike webster?

or some other person

[potent pond]

id rather not say with who

[glad swift]

yeah all good

[potent pond]

Cuz youd see my face on the website

[glad swift]

well save a spot for me pls in case I get innnn :)

do labs like that take itty bitty freshies or would I have to wait a bit?

and how common is it for someone to have a project of their own vs. just lab teching?

if they have some prior exp (not exactly w zebra finches but with wild birds n hormone stuff)

[ocean beacon]

im so scared.

is anyone else in ur school applying coe

im not sure abt one girl but theres like 4 girls applying to cas from mine

and no guys

[next goblet]

No

[loud solstice]

one of my close friends is applying cornell cas and it's really awkward every time we talk about college because im also applying cas

[potent pond]

cold email when u want

[glad swift]

sweet

ok one last question then I'll leave you alone

how on earth do you choose a bird lab?

there are so many

like specifically bird behavior/neuro/social stuff

[potent pond]

i dont like birds

[glad swift]

like do you hear abt the cultures in each one?

[potent pond]

i just emailed a lab

[glad swift]

WHAT

[potent pond]

that seemed cool

[glad swift]

HOW DARE YOU

I see

[potent pond]

id rather study humans.

[glad swift]

So basically just randomly

[potent pond]

yeah

[glad swift]

fair enough

ok thx for answering my questions

much appreciated

[junior kayak]

Lmfao thats so real

[glad swift]

not wanting to study birds is definitely not real

[junior kayak]

My friend is in a bird lab studying different frequencies in bird calls and some other stuff with music and birds and mice

He doesnt like it but only did it cause he likes music and wanted experience lmfao

[loud solstice]

yess audio processing W

[glad swift]

Heck yess!!!!!!

Too bad he doesn't like it that makes me sad :(

Unfortunately so much of bioacoustics is machine learning stuff now

It's always cool when it can be related back to social behavior or behav ecology tho

I hear there's a bioacoustics class with a field component in the tropics or smth?

[junior kayak]

I agree

[grim locust]

I studied worms guys

It could always be worse

[junior kayak]

My lab studies stable isotopes so I can really do whatever project I want if I get lab approval

Im studying isotpic composition in different soils and mapping the subsurface layers highlighting spodic horizons with GPR to connect to methane emissions

[glad swift]

oh sweet

[grim locust]

Oh i did isotopes too!!!

More in the particle physics side of things

But

Twinkie’s

Twins!

[glad swift]

particle physics in worms???

[grim locust]

two different

projects

[glad swift]

[grim locust]

two different projects…

[glad swift]

that'd be an awesome project

[grim locust]

alas

[timid ivy]

i completely forgot i have a gov test tomorrow

[loud topaz]

cornell so nonchalant for no reason

[soft lichen]

[long kayak]

from a current student

it’s super super small

and they got free food the other day??

idk y

like i’m pretty sure there’s only 75 freshmen each year

which is insane

[soft lichen]

yeah

thats actually nuts

i thought it was 60 main campus 40 dc

[long kayak]

you might be right

i was checking the stats for freshmen

they accept 130

and bc of the yield

only 60-80 end up accepting it

[soft lichen]

omgajwerhjahsjhj

[long kayak]

so if you get waitlisted it’s not over!!!

i was thinking of applying to the school of like labor industrial relations

bc it’s cheap and still good for pre law

[soft lichen]

yeah i was thinking that too

[balmy elbow]

transferring here i love cornel

[soft lichen]

until i discovered this

[soft lichen]

whattt omg crazy weather change

[long kayak]

yeah what

[misty tartan]

There is an archetype of Cornell students

[long kayak]

itnwas10 degrees last week

[balmy elbow]

lol

[long kayak]

😭😭

[balmy elbow]

uc arctic circle cant be any worse

[misty tartan]

Although I’d say the same abt a few schools

Rice and Duke also have archetypes

[loud topaz]

oh my cornelliana

[balmy elbow]

cornell was my dream school back in sophomore year of high school but i never even applied come senior year

[long kayak]

how come?

[balmy elbow]

two things:

1. my parents were reluctant to send me to the east coast if i got in (reason as to why i said no to emory)
2. we went on a trip to utah during winter break when i promised myself id work on the supps so i had no fucking time lmao

[grim locust]

UC Davis is awesome

Certainly a lot warmer

[balmy elbow]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOAOOAAOOAOAOOAO

im dying out here its freezing

partially cuz the relative humidity is high rn

and the fog

[grim locust]

Is it

Oh that sucks

[balmy elbow]

42 degrees has NEVER felt this cold

[grim locust]

Sorry it’s like 9 DEGREES for me

💔💔💔

[balmy elbow]

thats tolerable at least

[grim locust]

????

[balmy elbow]

like

consider this

[grim locust]

I bet u got some horrific wind chill

UC Davis is the coast right

[balmy elbow]

its cold enough for you to wear a jacke

t

[grim locust]

(I am east coaster spare me)

[balmy elbow]

fuh naw 🥀

we in the valley

[grim locust]

ohhhh got it

[balmy elbow]

when its 42 degrees its too warm to wear a jacket

[grim locust]

Ah ah fair

So u go outside

No jacket

And u are shivering

[balmy elbow]

hoodie

yeshhh

[grim locust]

u need a fleece

that’s what u beed

A nice light fleece

[balmy elbow]

no i hate fleeces

[grim locust]

ok

well

cannot help u there

[balmy elbow]

anyway i know a girl who transferred from davis atmospheric science to cornell atmospheric science last year

its very doable

esp cuz im partially atmospheric science

and cornell lowk has cooler weather 😔

[loud topaz]

would u apply cals if u were transferring

cals 🔛🔝 lowk

[balmy elbow]

no probably cas

cuz im also stats

[loud topaz]

truee

cals has biometry and statistics major too but idk what it entails

[balmy elbow]

i have personal beef with biology

i hate that subject with a passion

i got a B in elementary high school biology bro

[loud topaz]

omg that isn

isn't even bad

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

[balmy elbow]

i had a B in chemistry too but chemistry is hard

i had an A in ap chem tho

[balmy elbow]

consider the fact that all the tests were mcq

i bombed those tests

hence why im staying the FUCK away from general biology

if its plant science im chill hto i love plants

[balmy elbow]

reason my UC gpa wasnt a 4.0 😭

[bitter summit]

Me!

[soft lichen]

best of luck 🙏

did u do dc start perchance

[bitter summit]

Yeah it was one of the main reasons I was ok with eding lol

Most of the other schools i applied to are in dc

[soft lichen]

same

[soft lichen]

well i only did like umd uva LOL

[bitter summit]

I did those gw American Catholic and gt

[soft lichen]

i'd really like going to school near dc tho since it's literally the capitol

glgl

[bitter summit]

You too!

It’s like the newest program so it’s not very known

[mellow dragon]

Me

[soft lichen]

yeah

i'm like 80% nervous 20% excited

[bitter summit]

I think I’ve allowed myself to get my hopes up

[soft lichen]

same mildly

the anxiety is lowk consuming me tho

[bitter summit]

Also have been pushing back working on my rd schools

[loud solstice]

oh yea

[bitter summit]

I only have 2 but still

[long kayak]

bro shut up it’s 20s rn

[loud solstice]

we are in the single digits now guys

[soft lichen]

yeah same lowk

ny weather is unreal

[balmy elbow]

ive deadass felt warmer in tahoe in like 10 degree weather compared to now

trust me

i can manage cornell ez

[loud topaz]

i hate the winter flu season is so bad

it is like 9 degrees in upstate ny rn

[long kayak]

east coast winters are tough ash

[long kayak]

ridiculous

[balmy elbow]

and so i have heard

[long kayak]

it’s 20 the coldest on the island rn

[bitter summit]

Yeah it’s already way too cold

[balmy elbow]

at least cornell's not subject to lake-effect snow like northwestern

or cwru

that shit is BRUTAL

[ionic minnow]

gang anyone know official rd date why I hear some people saying 12/18

[formal peak]

fairly sure for cornell its 18th of dec?

afaik only princeton (go tigers) comes out this week from the ivies

i might be wrong tho

[formal peak]

nah bro..

one little thing aint gonna make a difference

ithaca bro

wheres that

[balmy elbow]

this is america football trumps all

[spice thicket]

Yeah. I got sent 'proof' by someone here and if it's legitimate it's the 18th. Also the combination with the Questbridge letters that matched up last year also saying it's the 18th is a very strong indication. Can't know for sure until they send it though.

[spice thicket]

they get it so early 🙁

[formal peak]

ya got notification from pton

[spice thicket]

whats that?

oh nvm

[shrewd compass]

finna get destroyed at buffalo 😭

✌️😔

[grim locust]

Just found out Cornell hasn’t requested my first quarter grades

Feels like all my dreams just burst

Fuck

[loud solstice]

cornell doesnt even look at q1 grades

https://faq.enrollment.cornell.edu/kb/article/413-are-first-quarter-grades-required-for-early-decision-applicants-to-cornell-university/

idk why people are so stressed about getting q1 grade requests

[grim locust]

Oh

Wait

Bro I have been like

Mourning my comp sci class

lol

[next goblet]

they do

it's not required but it's strongly recommended that u submit it

[loud solstice]

Well if you submit it they will look at it

[next goblet]

yeah

[loud solstice]

Does it matter if u dont submit

I highk gave up on grades senior year

[shrewd compass]

wait how yall know if they ask for it 💀

mine didn't even email me about idoc 😭

[junior kayak]

Bro we did not deserve to win this game lmfao

We were down so much the first half, then Princeton kept making errors with 10 yard penalties and didnt score the second half and we caught up then surpassed lmfao

[junior kayak]

They dont get grade requests, their counselors do

[shrewd compass]

oh bruhhhh

well our school does trimester grading periods inside of the semesters 💀

lets see

[junior kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/stare-cat-stare-cat-look-staring-cat-gif-2234218620804077902

[spice thicket]

they didnt ask for mine either, but my school doesn't even do quarter grades lmao

[junior kayak]

They only consider if youre rejected from Dyson

[potent pond]

Make sure ur hapy w nolan before checking it too

Dont j do it to get in

[lilac lava]

nah but i applied ED

i lowkey did not tick nolan cuz they said to only tick it if your activities align with it and i had no hotel stuff

but maybe since ur apping RD it might make sense? i did ED and i didnt want to commit to Nolan

[loud topaz]

wdym

[wanton zephyr]

ah okay I was just unsure whether to apply to Dyson or cas Econ so just wanted to talk to someone

[lilac lava]

theres a lot of stuff online abt it, if u end up not finding someone at the school

[wanton zephyr]

tbh I’d be fine with either, it’s just a matter of fit with my ecs which I wasn’t completely sure about

[loud solstice]

💔

just relax guys its not that deep

[loud topaz]

why are they changing the background photo now though 😭 totally unneeded

[lilac lava]

ohh ok, maybe like search up dyson on linkedin or smth😭

[spice thicket]

maybe they're preparing for a Thursday release...

[loud topaz]

if they were preparing for a thursday release they would have changed the checklist by now or by tomorrow lowk

or have announced it by email

[spice thicket]

I would think they would do it slightly later, so technically we're in a somewhat reasonable period for an announcement

But lowk if I'm going to be honest I'm just deluding myself cause I hoped it would b this Thursday

[spice thicket]

what is ubjörk '30?

[loud topaz]

university of bjork

https://tenor.com/view/bjork-bjork-debut-fade-in-fade-in-reaction-meme-gif-12173771357158875462

[spice thicket]

ahhhhh valid, I hear it's very prestigious

[tranquil belfry]

out guidance counselors dont tell us btw (for our school)

[bitter summit]

If it was this Thursday (99% wont be) they’d send an email 2 days before so later today

[tranquil belfry]

its confirmed 18th

[bitter summit]

I know

[spice thicket]

It’s not

[tranquil belfry]

on the undergrad admissions call they said 18th

[spice thicket]

no way

which call was that

[loud solstice]

How do I update cornell ao if I recently did something cool and want to add it to my app?

[spice thicket]

email admissions

like to update them, the email is in ur portal

[grim locust]

I emailed her and she said no one asked for mine

[wicked coyote]

bro i’m dead 😭 we are not doing ts bro

[spice thicket]

lmao 😭

[mellow dragon]

bro why is everyone freaking out about the grade check

its probably not even something good

i got it but my counselor couldnt say anything about what it meant

[keen acorn]

Someone from my school didn’t get the grade check for ED but they got in

[bronze lagoon]

so chat this guy was joking right ✌️✌️✌️✌️

[next goblet]

It’s next week

100%

If it was thursday they wouldve emailed us by now
