alr bro....
Yay it snowed for me
same
does cornell have interviews
No
They stopped them either last application cycle or the one before that
Unless your specific school requires it (most donโt)
4 more days ๐ฅ
did anyone apply info sci at CAS or the milstein program
Aaaaaaa
I think i checked the box to be considered for milstein in my common app but I forgot
but did anyone apply heop
or eop
yes i did
ok gooddd I thought I was the only one
ayyyy
do u know if they give the acceptance to heop in the letter to?
i'd assume they would
Hmm ok
they told me you're evaluated for regular admission and HEOP separately
you can get a 'second chance' with HEOP / EOP
so essentially if they think you aren't academically qualified they can admit you under the program
u just gotta go to a like eight week shitty summer program
and give up ur summer to attend cornell
im just hoping i get in regular ngl
where'd u apply early
arts and sciences
oh
yeah my main worry is i barely meet the requirements for language
and i havent taken precalc
i took ap stats instead
my academics are the weakest part of my profile
but i have straight As junior year
you just told me more about heop than my own guidance counselor ๐ญ
I donโt either
WTF is heop
I think Iโve only taken 1 foreign language class thanks to my shitty school
it's a program for low income students who don't meet the requirements for admission to still be admitted
under a summer program
yeah i got up to spanish 3 but only bc i started spanish in 8th grade
the summer program would lowkey be good for me tho cus I havenโt done any precollege programs + havenโt visited the campus
it would be nice to get adjusted to Cornell if I get in before the school year starts
im going to be so pissed if i have to give up my last summer with my parents for school tho
Gotcha
Hi chat
Im currently in info sci cas but didnt apply to it
Any specific q? I like it its very collegetown and suburb
Dont need math exp in cas
Foreign language maybe but like ur supposed to take it here regardless
Apart from academics, whatโs classified as fun at Cornell? Whatโs like THE Best thing to do in Ithaca. I think that typically tell me the type of uni Cornell is
I feel like this isnt quite an accurate description
But it encompasses the purpose
is it walkable
i feel like in my experience moving from a big city to a subrub i lowk hated it
wait i meant like ithaca in general not just cornell lol
These r the main noncampus areas
Like for groceries or eating out
Excluding collegetown which is right next to calpus
These ud need buses to get to
Unlessbu enjoy walking far
We love watching paint dry
Kidding
Collegetown always has stuff going on
Is there a good way to get to hiking spots w/o a car?
apart from the like waterfall stuff by campus
Uber, maybe bus depending, carpool
Lol
Fair lol
Second dam u kinda need a car
No
what if poor ;(
Ok that's good
I donโt run
Its fun to run to and take a dip
good to know
I swim only
should i apply here or no
Its only 2.5 miles away
oh that's not too bad
Dont skull me ๐
2.5 mile walk is short ๐ญ
Go burn off that dairy bar ice cream
Its great
Thatโs an entire weirdly
wait is it easy to get ahold of boats on the lake
Workout
lowk i need that workout i rarely go outside these days
Yeah but i gain smth from that
And no not rlly i dont
Im not walking 2.5 miles back from a gorge soaking wer
Wet
Feels like you are when you have to go from Baker to Morrison to Rockefellar back to back to back ๐ฎโ๐จ
One word to describe cornell
big
whatโs the coldest and warmest youโve seen it get
prob feels like -2 real # prob like 5
(F)
hottest prob feels like 100 and real # like 96
i could also just be pulling out my ass theres likely a database online
does cornell have a nice movie theater?
forgot to ping^
Umm last year we had actual minus 0 days lol
uhh
if theres one ive never been
ppl usually screen in the lecture halls
oh okay
We have a regal cinema
theres also theater like by the target if u meant offcampus
oh i thought they meant like
cornell theater lol
The one in Ithaca is okay. Not the best but not the worst
i aint a meteorologist
Then dont answer questions you dont know 
need room for every intermediate of glycolysis, tca cycle, ppp, fatty acid deg/syn
they pinged me ๐ค
and i said im probably wrong they can check databases ๐ค
no need to be an ass
Jae reed my palm @potent pond
yeah it made u rude for 1 msg there too
oh the update i still have no idea if bro likes me but it dont matter i guess
Did you got out
Go
๐๐
-$6 off my debt
what are some of both your favorite clubs?
u can bus
parties, farmers market, interest clubs, hiking and being outdoors, club sports, eating out, really just normall college stuff
it all depends on what u personally enjoy
Its like a 40 min bus vs 10 min car tho lol
Ppl usually just hang out w their friends and do what that entails
Im in a bunch of premed things and my project team
I guess cultural clubs are very fun
I dont participate as a big/mentor but super fun as a little
poker club and chess club!
yea csa events r great
my fav club is prob my business club cornell busienss analytics but its also a preprof club so idk if thats what ur envisioning
Top Gun and HOSA if they get their shit together for professional.
For fun, Pokรฉmon Club 
did u come to casino royale
thats the one hosted by united way right?
i didnt go
yeah
any humec applicants here ๐ช
ooh how's the farmer's mkt?
both prepared foods and stuff from the farms or?
also how expensive is it?
Ngl I still haven't been but ik a lot of people go
maybe someone else can speak on it
Mee
ive been a couple times its cute but i usuaally dont get the motivation or schedule coordination to go until it starts getting cold then i start tweaking cuz its right on the water
i dont recall much abt the specifics of prices and foods but, as u probably assume, farmers market only runs a month or 2
fair enough
Thanksss
oh theres also applefest and chilifest
also local farmers n stuff and many many more ppl go
it's pretty fun
ithaca commons is full of people and vendors selling food and trinkets
plus live music and other stuff
Can someone look at my Cornell supps
hey i tried looking at my financial aid checklist and it came up as this? is this normal
i'm not trying to portal astrologize i just panicked abt my required docs being sent in
inquiry access denied 
what could that mean
is that the todo list
yea
Yea thats what is shows
it says the same for mee toooo
what the eff
omg
oh i see
whats the other link
Yea idk whats the purpose of these?
im pretty sure it just means u cant inquire/ask for aid info yet cus decisions arent out
oh
these two
ion think this means anything
me neither
Yea hopefully we get in
financial aid is disconnected from admissions anyways
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
What do u have to do to get into cornell ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Who has the most craziest ed app here?
Like crazy ecs like idk
what is it
Oh nice! Out of curiosity, do folks play bluegrass up there?
Lmao they are requiring test so no option
like a 1330 i think
I can literally do anything for that acceptance Cornell ๐ฅบ
oh yea i forgot
what school are you applying to
Do u have good/strong ecs to backup
they forced my hand
my ecs are pretty decent some r basic and run of the mill tho, but i did a lot in them and have been in them for a while
cas
i don't think it's that competitive
Who here applied to COE (i havent seen many)
as the other majors
Yea
me
CAS is chill and like 5x easier than COE to get in ๐ญ
Whattt r ur statsss
it lowk depends sometimes cas can be hard
yeah coe has u guys writing like 8 supps that pretty crazy
But like in general
wait i dmed u
not crazy just funny but my psat and sat were the same score๐ญ๐ญ
Lmaoo what are they
Mb gpt says that
1520 and 1520โฆ
Fun
let them give me false hope pls
I am so glad
Digital sat was a thing
Because I cant read anything over a page
My percentile for ssat reading was 60th and sat was 99
If it was paper I wouldve probably died mid test
Yea cant trust gpt but thays literally what it said
Maybe not 5x but COE is def harder to get in?
i think i have a decent app
idk
36 act, usapho qualifier, usaco gold, and MIT recommended summer camp
What major did u apply for?
mechanical engineering
where are u from??
ohio
whatt
Why cornell and not any other uni
ohio
rural or urban
greater cleveland
i wanna be done w ed
its always ohio
urban i guess
understandable
summit county
idk i need to stop comparing myself with people here
if i have to drag this process till like spring ima die
no its the same
my town has a population of less than 10k ๐ i need 2 lock in
the acceptance rate is the same
we'll all know in 4 days
i wouldn't be surprised if i got rejected
cornell engineering is one of the best in the country
Yea it is
Theres like no way unless u wrote โaccept me.โ In ur essays
im in Arts now
wasn't it cus u were premed
coe is pretty darn competitive tho
honestly looking back i could have stayed and done CS premed and been very very happy
i just pussied out
probably usapho medalist/amo medalists can beat me out in ed round
But i mean u already are at top of everything so ur chilling and they have multiple spots so ur fine
they only have 500 in ed
for engineering
Do yk how many apply for engineering out of ~9000
im also instate so im just being an entitled brat by not switching or applying to an instate funded college within cornell
probably a good chunk but at the same time most people apply ed to cas
im instate too and i didnt apply to the funded ones cus they just didn't fit my interest
im a humanities person at heart
thankful every day that cals is landgrant bc i fw them so hard
kinda stupid how late cornell is releasing this yr
it rlly is
they forcing me to work on my rd apps like now its so dumb
I mean im premed so i coulda made it fit me like info sci is in cals
And psych is HD in humec
almost done with the engineering supps just 2 to go ๐
ts took me 4 months
๐ญ
whattt
i wrote like 3 or 4 of them in like 2 days bc they were mostly just copy paste from my other essays
Yeah no way ur getting rejected
well i started in may or something and then i kinda had other stuff in the summer
idk u never know bro
I dmed u
bro found the absolute most niche trait of cornell
same ๐ฅ
korean male attending boarding school in ohio
4 for me ๐
oooh me too
legacy/fg/li
why are some of my friends saying cornell is tomorrow ๐๐
it's not ๐ญ
okay perfect
Yea urm as well
am i the only hooked one damn ๐ญ
lambda | buffulo '30 will not hit the same ๐ญ
bouta lose so much aura on thursday
same but i prepped for it beforehand LMAO
I wish I told no one
urm doesnt matter right?
im urm but i think it doesnt matter
It does? For diversity
if people clown on me for not getting into cornell i'll find better ppl
bro
talking about thats banned here dude
Ok I see it like this
how can being a urm help anymore
We had 13 Cornell acceptances in ED last year
I am defiently top 13 out of the all ones who applied
but I do not think they will accept 13
do
so
a college campus is like a business
it's more complicated
I think I am top 7-8 of the people who applied ED
than that
if everyone looks the same acts the same thinks the same
So let pray
i was just mentioning it in an objective way--the practice was banned by the supreme court
youre gonna have same outcomes
bringing people that dont usually come to higher ed increases scope of outcomes
builds social mobility
it still provides an advantage it's just not institutionalized like before
these people are more likely to be loyal to the school if they succeed as well
ok well i guess ill find out if i get accepted lol
it is a factor in admissions but you have to explain how it makes you unique
meaning you cant just tick a box and get bonus points
ok, thats what i thought
you can still talk about it in an essay
thats how it would help right?
i mean i talked about having a physical disability
and im in
now idmk
idk
if theres causation
but it def didnt hurt me
i doubt it'd hurt you yeah
i didnt talk about race in an essay it might be over
it can only really help
Unless like it impacts u intellectually ig
Ur fine
yeah
which essay would u even talk about it in
Itโs overdone and a lot of it isnโt meaningful
i mentioned it in my personal statement
ur 100% not the only person of ur race applying
but if i couldve talken advantage of something that would help a urm...
no def not, but still...
I bet ur qualified without ur race or disability or sexuality etc
Iโm gay, the only supplemental I talked about that on was when it explicitly asked if I was gay
well im applying hotelie and i feel that that school is prob especially less diverse lol
I agree
im going arts and sciences
Smaller school so being diverse kinda matters
thats why it couldve helped maybe
CAS has everything
But theyโre gonna see on ur application what u ticked
race only helps as a bridge into an essay
yea but now i dont think i couldve used it
Itโs done now
i dont think it helps me now
oh well
still its important for your RD apps
yeah i did an adversity essay but i focused on my autism mostly instead of my race
easier said than done I know
I did it on my brain injury recovery
like u can be very creative
i mean i havent read your essays
they probably donโt explicitly do
but i generally have a negative perception of adversity essays UNLESS they focus more on growth rather than on the adversity part
Facts
domestic
cuz for INT it matters what country ig
oh then im good
im not an AO but from what ive observed people are looking for inspiration
and showing strength when faced with barriers is a sign of potential success
An adversity doesnโt mean shit if u donโt overcome and learn from it
because ultimately you will face barriers at any college
Just means u had an issue
i think i made a good call not talking about my chronic pain in my essay and i just slapped it in my additional comments then
Blue is white people?
last two years black enrollment went down
im prolly gonna dip for now see yall later?
probably a sign
also anyone doing ISEF
and in the context of ur HS
good point
trying to extrapolate from these data sets is just a hazard table uncertainty
those two are like the most important things
yea it is a small sample size
you are right
i feel like though the hotel school probably being less diverse wouldve helped my case
but its wtv
Hi ๐ฝ l
im so hyped for ed ngl
I cannot wait to be done
oh and does one of my parents not going to college (ik it doesnt make me first gen) help contextualize my situation
like i feel like no matter what i accomplished a lot by trying to go at all
hello
Oh hi charolette
trying to pass the time playing games and stuff but i cant help but think about it lol
finals is also coming to whoop me
I got so much school work to do
frrr i have to finish my yale supps
several snow days crammed everything together in this last week before break
Is this a good sign guys ๐ญ
How does that even work ๐ญ
this reminding me of smth ngl
96% is clearly inflated, even if you have insane odds
Idk prob random number generator
Oh i should try that then
What is this
its also random lol
im acting like an anime protagonist ngl, when i inevitably get rejected im going to despair for like 2 minutes, then pick myself up again and get into yale rd โ ๏ธ
if i get accepted that would be awesome
i work at the library at the time of the release
bc i havent done most of my other rd apps
!chance cornell rejection
if i get in, im actually going to scream and then get yelled at by my boss
it only works in #๐ค-bot-commands
29% damn
does anyone have any more insight into how legacy works
bc i think i am cooked if hotel is most likely a legacy heavy school
they mainly do it because it makes money through donations
yes
just wait until your decision i fear
It keeps gettjng lower lmao yeah hate this bot
then just keep rolling until you get 51% or higher chance of acceptance and blindly assume that's reality
i guess ill have to find out the hard way then...
it is considered
its definetly not a free pass
unless you have a direct line to the president or smth
if my friend applied CALS and i applied CAS will the same AO review both our apps
but i think i have a better profile than him
no
each college
has its own
admissions proccess
there is no centralised review
ohhh what
CAS PLEASE ADMIT ME ๐ฅ
yess same
also like do they care about sibling legacy
which also means if you get in CALS you cant just declare a CAS major
not considered
im against the odds here
dang
COE PLEASE ADMIT ME ๐ค๐ฅบ
Yeah ๐ญ
the odds are favorable for my school comp though since he is legacy and his parents donate a lot
so i might be especially cooked haha
If he has devent stats then he most likely to be admitted
bro
its not as simple as that
dont speculate
But thay doesnt mean u cant be admitted as well?
well im sure they've finished all the apps so our odds are either 100 or 0
schrodingers decision
lowkey ive worked hard to get into a good college it dont gotta be cornell
if u do want some hope
another girl applied to cornell from my school
which is a small school in a city in greece (not the capital)
she was legacy
but we both got in
Lol riyal hoping for 100
same college?
bro hotel school is so damn small they probably only have space for the legacy kids lol
no but i would be dammed if they dont do some checks and balances of how many people they take from each HS/geographic market
Iโll take all your rejection % :)
i might be cooked in that aspect as well
im from bay area
it could be joever
damn that 0% gonna hurt u im sorry
wait
nah we dont have that many from bay
sergios
esp compared to ny
are you from greece
So youโre guaranteed admitted? Nice!
my mom from there
oh cool
thessaloniki
Or what
what about other parts of california- are they also represented?
pylaia
nice
not sure i only know like 5 kids from bay
bro doesnt want me there thats crazy๐๐๐๐
paokara?
YESSIR
pame paok!!!
i hope not being from the bay area doesnt compare me to the bay area kids
paok kai xero psomi
move somewhere else pls
i cant with asking where youre from: "oh im from westchester"
like im going to a friend's house to westchester after my finals
cause my flight back home is on the 22nd
ah yes his interviews are the best
They dont
thank christ
im gonna just do street interviews and ask ppl where they go to school bet like 50% of ppl will say cornell
im trying the people here are legit weird asf
๐ญ
i feel completely out of place
i hope the kids in the california forest aren't cracked
idk ive never been before
ok yea it could be cooked that im from sf area and my direct competition is like a guaranteed admit
its gonna be my first time
do you watch any matches perchance
not just paok
yes
yes
PLS COE I NEED THIS
ok ok bet
MY COLLEGE LIST IS KINDA HOMELESS
bro fs
i have been to only one paok game ever
oh youve been to thess?
WE ARE GETTING IN TWIN DW
yes we visit back to my moms home
thats sick
oh hell nah crakd sat kid
my papou and thea live there

i know toumpa stadium can be a bit frightening
welcome to the insane asylum
esp gate 4
its sick
but the energy man its another level
yall got it lol
Lmaoo it helped me w my score I love crackd ๐ฅฒ
Without crackd tbh i would be at 1300
that edit was holding a lot of weight
can cornells system glitch and purge the entirety of the accepted class so we get in instead
๐ญ
i feel bad for the brown kids
Ikr ๐๐
i juts watch highlights
but i watched the match with Ludogorets
This has happened before right they sent out fake acceptances
or sometimes i just put it in a boring lecture
Yep
im actually rlly hoping u get in now lol
u dont see many greeks at cornell
cornell finals suck ass
ok im not from greece but my mom is
yes
cause most of the greeks by descent just visit mykonos once
and they think thats "greece"
like broski the greeks dont even go to mykonos
yea i guess i have very recent greek heritage
i have never been
i only joined to do math q's and 2 friends
well i can get the same experience at a thessaloniki club for 100 euro for one bottle. say 10 people so 10 euro
mykonos over 2k euro
cuz math q's are funsies and i was bored over the summer
oh i have a summer house there
its nice
yall have >1 house ๐
i like seeing the army of bulgarians/serbs/skopje people pull up in the summer
yessss
we dont own our main house lol we rent
and russians
You love what now
sometimes
yeah its hard but you got this
not so much bc of ukraine
i have second house in greece but my grandpas family built it lol
they all go to cyprus
he had like 12 brothers or smth
limmasol is like a russian zoo
u know whats funny
im trying to pull up to ithaca island greece
the irony would be crazy
haha
prob im gonna do it in the summer though
Same I joined for practice but their resources helped me a lot the desmos tricks on my
im gonna be real with you when i was living in skg i didnt like most areas
but now
i have a feeling of nostalgia
I only love cornell its my first love
and having the windows open at night while watching ert news
sometimes i may do the trek from city center to pylaia
but now with the metro
i dont have to
cause i live next to the terminus
wowza
and operates until 2 am on weekends
i dont think it exists it neapoli yet
they give off tabloid energy
they kinda are
so true
someone at my school got an offer for hotel management for rowing
the real greek experience is to get a 2000 manual toyota yaris
although we do have friend that has car
bro same rowing committ here
our friend has a fiat
but he doesn't really care for it since he wants to go into business
blue fiat
panda?
my mom used to have a fiat panda
cute car very good for city
but very weak
the sad part is that if i get denied i know for a fact he's gonna rub it in
ive already donated a few hundred mililetres of my blood to make pentagrams
one way or another, i am GETTING IN
wanna know smth funny
i dont remeber the model
there is a kid in cas
that both parents went to cornell
and he was born at weill cornell
meant to be
yeah makes sense
wait
where do u go for food
we might share some spots
(if u remember)
i go to a local restaurant in neapoli
this might be the meta for posterity
forget trying to give birth in disneyland for whatever reason
taverna?
tandur if you know it
omg my friend is the same but with penn state
haha
some of our family friends live in neapoli
best loukaniko
they took us there 2 times
very good
ngl loukaniko goes too heavy for me
by the church
i usually get a mprizola
or souztzoukakia
they also have good leyko krasi xyma if youre into that
ahh i cant yet unfortunately
WE ARE PENN STATE
wait are you at cornell
yes
its balkans bro
do you know a kid names priyansh
I havw a question would that lower ur chances?
lowk long shot
common name
but family friend lol
my family doesnt really drink wine anyways
if u can give me more info it would help
ngl idk why american college kids are obsessed with beer
most of it tastes like ass
lowk god really tryna test me before these fuckass decisions come out i have exams every day for the next 4 days
priyansh s international kid from mumbai lmao
esp the ones they serve at frats
i had it one time doesnt taste good
keystone, busch, whatever
ill lyk
๐ค
i used to go to a kaffenio with my papou
Yea its unfair
but it closed afetr covid
aint no way
bro ur making me feel even more excited to go home
he used to buy me orange juices
i just wanna go to the kafeneio with my theio
good memories
and get a souvlaki and an epsa or smth
and we would play on tavli board
oh you know how to play?
i dont know if it was tavli but like a simplified game or smth
what about card games (biriba, xeri)
bro ur hyping me up rn
it was like a game where we had the chips stacked up 3 3 3 2 2 2
if you end up being a cornell student and want to spend a winter in thessaloniki my doors would be open
and we would roll the dice
i have a couple spots id love to take people
bro that would be so hype
souvlaki space station sounds tasty
i never get to see my family in greece over the winter anyways
that would be so cool
i like how every student council candidate in greek schools just said they would open a gyro shop in the school
best city in greece change my mind (u cant)
respectfully the athenians can just detatch from the mainland and be by themselves
they think theyre somebodies
trying to be all europeanised
north greece just better
with their fancy stuff
also the government only cares about athens
were neglected
to where
weve covered pretty much most major corners of greece with my family (thess --> ioannina for western greece, thess --> athens for capital, thess --> alexandroupolis for east, thess --> kalamata for peloponese)
NO WAY
but we went to those places
MY GRANDDAD IS FROM A VILLAGE NEAR VERIA
i think my papous family is from serres
but i might be wrong
i dont know where my yiayias family is from though
we also went to meteora
cool place
i dont think we actually went in the monestary though
to the monasteries
never been
its a very serene place
like when you enter there its like hate dissapears
its just quiet and love
i did go to this cool mountain village in halakidi dont remmber exactly where it was though
it couldve been slightly outside of halkidiki
they are
its just theyre pissing uss off locals lately
cause theyre all beach bars
and they have min expenditure to use the sunbeds
for 1st rows may even be 40 pp
like what do you get for 40 at a beach bar
dry precooked meat + dilluted alcohol
so in protest
we just take our towels
and go to more remote places
we dont buy umbrella
usually
we just lay a blanket
off to the side
the umbrella places are usually packed
we usually go somewhere more remote too
glarokavos is a really nice beach in the 1st leg
bro i hope i can make it into cornell to make my mom proud
her family wasnt educated
it would be so cool to go to cornell
i feel like my family back there would also be proud
i mean in greece going to a school of that caliber is like just out of touch for them
yes bro
i can basically get any job i want back home
albeit not as well paying as it would be here
yea my thea says if i get in she wants me to come there for a job
ideally i would retire in greece
i dont know if living in greece though would be so nice honestly
i like visiting but my family seems so stressed
because my thea has to take care of papou
and they dont have a job
like my dad is a doctor so were ok
but if ur not in a prof job like doctor or lawyer and dont have a business
ur pretty much screwed
prob making min wage
which is shit
disability
and cost of living has gone up
but i still wouldnt trade my upbringing in grc for usa
like i feel like the experiences i had
i wouldnt have had here
yes
and my mentality would be different
like i look at some kids here and theyre so pampered to the point of being annoying.
true
i had rich friends back home and they were not like this lol
i honestly dont know what the rich people in greece are like tbh
