does cornell have interviews

spice thicket
#

They stopped them either last application cycle or the one before that

#

Unless your specific school requires it (most donโ€™t)

formal peak
#

anyone going to cornell

#

how is life in ithaca

#

ive heard mixed reactions to it

frozen cape
#

sullen ibex

indigo hollow
#

warm elm
sweet haven
#

#

or eop

frozen cape
sweet haven
frozen cape
#

ayyyy

sweet haven
#

do u know if they give the acceptance to heop in the letter to?

frozen cape
#

i'd assume they would

sweet haven
#

Hmm ok

frozen cape
#

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

next goblet
#

where'd u apply early

frozen cape
#

arts and sciences

next goblet
#

oh

frozen cape
#

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

#

WTF is heop

sweet haven
#

I think Iโ€™ve only taken 1 foreign language class thanks to my shitty school

frozen cape
# grim locust WTF is heop

it's a program for low income students who don't meet the requirements for admission to still be admitted

#

under a summer program

frozen cape
sweet haven
#

the summer program would lowkey be good for me tho cus I havenโ€™t done any precollege programs + havenโ€™t visited the campus

#

it would be nice to get adjusted to Cornell if I get in before the school year starts

frozen cape
#

im going to be so pissed if i have to give up my last summer with my parents for school tho

sweet haven
#

yeah thatโ€™s a con

#

I was gonna use the summer to work

loud solstice
#

oh milstein program

#

It does? For diversity

frozen cape
#

talking about thats banned here dude

mellow dragon
#

got banned

#

im saying it got banned

mellow dragon
#

how can being a urm help anymore

grim locust
#

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

stiff oyster
frozen cape
grim locust
#

I think I am top 7-8 of the people who applied ED

frozen cape
#

than that

stiff oyster
#

if everyone looks the same acts the same thinks the same

grim locust
#

So let pray

mellow dragon
stiff oyster
#

youre gonna have same outcomes

#

bringing people that dont usually come to higher ed increases scope of outcomes

#

builds social mobility

frozen cape
#

it still provides an advantage it's just not institutionalized like before

stiff oyster
#

these people are more likely to be loyal to the school if they succeed as well

mellow dragon
stiff oyster
#

it is a factor in admissions but you have to explain how it makes you unique

mellow dragon
#

dont think it well help me

#

but well see

stiff oyster
#

meaning you cant just tick a box and get bonus points

frozen cape
#

yeah thats what i did in my app

#

im hoping it helps

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

mellow dragon
#

you can still talk about it in an essay

#

thats how it would help right?

stiff oyster
#

i mean i talked about having a physical disability

#

and im in

#

now idmk

#

idk

#

if theres causation

#

but it def didnt hurt me

frozen cape
#

i doubt it'd hurt you yeah

mellow dragon
#

i didnt talk about race in an essay it might be over

frozen cape
#

it can only really help

grim locust
#

Unless like it impacts u intellectually ig

stiff oyster
#

yeah

grim locust
#

which essay would u even talk about it in

#

Itโ€™s overdone and a lot of it isnโ€™t meaningful

frozen cape
#

i mentioned it in my personal statement

grim locust
#

ur 100% not the only person of ur race applying

mellow dragon
mellow dragon
grim locust
#

Iโ€™m gay, the only supplemental I talked about that on was when it explicitly asked if I was gay

mellow dragon
grim locust
#

I agree

frozen cape
#

im going arts and sciences

grim locust
#

Smaller school so being diverse kinda matters

mellow dragon
#

thats why it couldve helped maybe

grim locust
#

u gotta like

#

Have one of each

stiff oyster
#

CAS has everything

grim locust
#

But theyโ€™re gonna see on ur application what u ticked

stiff oyster
#

race only helps as a bridge into an essay

mellow dragon
#

yea but now i dont think i couldve used it

stiff oyster
#

but if you use it to write some sort of adversity essay

#

its prob overdone

grim locust
#

Itโ€™s done now

mellow dragon
#

i dont think it helps me now

grim locust
#

Cannot do anything

#

sit back and wait for Thursday

mellow dragon
#

oh well

stiff oyster
#

still its important for your RD apps

frozen cape
grim locust
#

easier said than done I know

grim locust
#

like u can be very creative

mellow dragon
#

actaully

#

you know what?

stiff oyster
#

i mean i havent read your essays

mellow dragon
#

i can see if they still practice admissions that help urms

#

let me see

grim locust
#

they probably donโ€™t explicitly do

stiff oyster
#

but i generally have a negative perception of adversity essays UNLESS they focus more on growth rather than on the adversity part

grim locust
#

but it prob wonโ€™t hurt you

#

unless ur an INT ig

mellow dragon
grim locust
#

cuz for INT it matters what country ig

stiff oyster
#

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

grim locust
#

An adversity doesnโ€™t mean shit if u donโ€™t overcome and learn from it

stiff oyster
#

because ultimately you will face barriers at any college

grim locust
#

Just means u had an issue

mild flume
#

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

mellow dragon
#

it looks like they prob dont practice it anymore

grim locust
mellow dragon
#

red line is black people

#

blue is white

#

green is asian

grim locust
#

Green Asian?

#

This seems like a very dubious topic fyi

mellow dragon
#

last two years black enrollment went down

frozen cape
#

im prolly gonna dip for now see yall later?

mellow dragon
#

probably a sign

grim locust
#

also anyone doing ISEF

stiff oyster
#

marginally

#

id not think about it

#

just focus on you as an individual

grim locust
#

and in the context of ur HS

mellow dragon
stiff oyster
#

trying to extrapolate from these data sets is just a hazard table uncertainty

grim locust
#

those two are like the most important things

mellow dragon
#

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

stiff oyster
#

shhhh

#

we said

#

sit back

mellow dragon
#

but its wtv

stiff oyster
#

and relax

#

its 4 more days

Hi ๐ŸŒฝ l

frozen cape
#

im so hyped for ed ngl

grim locust
#

I cannot wait to be done

mild flume
#

oh and does one of my parents not going to college (ik it doesnt make me first gen) help contextualize my situation

frozen cape
#

like i feel like no matter what i accomplished a lot by trying to go at all

mild flume
grim locust
#

Oh hi charolette

deft jolt
#

Hi Falke and Astro!

#

how are we doing..

#

waiting on decisions

mild flume
#

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

deft jolt
#

I got so much school work to do

frozen cape
#

frrr i have to finish my yale supps

deft jolt

several snow days crammed everything together in this last week before break

warm elm
#

Is this a good sign guys ๐Ÿ˜ญ

deft jolt
#

How does that even work ๐Ÿ˜ญ

frozen cape
deft jolt
#

96% is clearly inflated, even if you have insane odds

warm elm
#

Idk prob random number generator

warm elm
deft jolt
frozen cape
#

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

mellow dragon
#

if i get accepted that would be awesome

mild flume
#

i work at the library at the time of the release

mellow dragon
#

bc i havent done most of my other rd apps

warm elm
#

!chance cornell rejection

mild flume
#

if i get in, im actually going to scream and then get yelled at by my boss

frozen cape
warm elm
#

29% damn

mellow dragon
#

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

mild flume
#

they mainly do it because it makes money through donations

warm elm
#

Yeah no im not playing w bot

#

Does it gives diff number each time?

frozen cape
#

yes

light grail
warm elm
frozen cape
#

then just keep rolling until you get 51% or higher chance of acceptance and blindly assume that's reality

mellow dragon
stiff oyster
#

it is considered

#

its definetly not a free pass

#

unless you have a direct line to the president or smth

mellow dragon
#

my comp from my school is a legacy

#

and his parents apparently donate a lot

indigo hollow
#

if my friend applied CALS and i applied CAS will the same AO review both our apps

mellow dragon
#

but i think i have a better profile than him

stiff oyster
#

no

#

each college

#

has its own

#

admissions proccess

#

there is no centralised review

indigo hollow
#

ohhh what

frozen cape
#

CAS PLEASE ADMIT ME ๐Ÿ”ฅ

indigo hollow
#

also like do they care about sibling legacy

stiff oyster
#

which also means if you get in CALS you cant just declare a CAS major

stiff oyster
mellow dragon
#

im against the odds here

indigo hollow
#

dang

warm elm
#

COE PLEASE ADMIT ME ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฅบ

frozen cape
#

lowkey the scary part is the odds are literally against every single one of us

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

warm elm
#

Yeah ๐Ÿ˜ญ

mellow dragon
#

so i might be especially cooked haha

warm elm
#

If he has devent stats then he most likely to be admitted

stiff oyster
#

bro

frozen cape
#

its not as simple as that

stiff oyster
#

dont speculate

warm elm
#

But thay doesnt mean u cant be admitted as well?

mild flume
#

well im sure they've finished all the apps so our odds are either 100 or 0

stiff oyster
#

no reason

#

decisions come out in 4 days

mellow dragon
frozen cape
#

lowkey ive worked hard to get into a good college it dont gotta be cornell

stiff oyster
#

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

mellow dragon
#

same college?

#

bro hotel school is so damn small they probably only have space for the legacy kids lol

stiff oyster
#

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

deft jolt
mellow dragon

mellow dragon
#

i dont know if it was tavli but like a simplified game or smth

stiff oyster
#

what about card games (biriba, xeri)

mellow dragon
#

no just "tavli"

#

dont know if it was actual tavli tho

stiff oyster
#

bro ur hyping me up rn

mellow dragon
#

it was like a game where we had the chips stacked up 3 3 3 2 2 2

stiff oyster
#

if you end up being a cornell student and want to spend a winter in thessaloniki my doors would be open

mellow dragon
#

and we would roll the dice

stiff oyster
#

i have a couple spots id love to take people

stiff oyster
mellow dragon
#

i never get to see my family in greece over the winter anyways

#

that would be so cool

stiff oyster
#

i like how every student council candidate in greek schools just said they would open a gyro shop in the school

stiff oyster
mellow dragon
#

yes

#

i have been to athens

#

thessaloniki better

stiff oyster
#

respectfully the athenians can just detatch from the mainland and be by themselves

#

they think theyre somebodies

#

trying to be all europeanised

mellow dragon
#

north greece just better

stiff oyster
#

with their fancy stuff

#

also the government only cares about athens

#

were neglected

mellow dragon
#

i have been on a road trip from thessaloniki with my family one summer

#

i loved it

stiff oyster
#

to where

mellow dragon
#

we went to veria

#

and around there

#

edessa

#

i dont remember if they are close

stiff oyster
#

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

mellow dragon
#

but we went to those places

stiff oyster
#

MY GRANDDAD IS FROM A VILLAGE NEAR VERIA

mellow dragon
#

my moms friend lives there

#

i liked edessa

#

waterfall

stiff oyster
#

edessa is cool yeah

#

my dads family is from giannitsa

#

which is near edessa

mellow dragon
#

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

stiff oyster
#

ooo

#

i spent a night in kalampaka

mellow dragon
#

cool place

stiff oyster
#

its pretty

#

ive been to mount athos

mellow dragon
#

i dont think we actually went in the monestary though

stiff oyster
#

to the monasteries

mellow dragon
stiff oyster
#

its a very serene place

#

like when you enter there its like hate dissapears

#

its just quiet and love

mellow dragon
#

i did go to this cool mountain village in halakidi dont remmber exactly where it was though

#

it couldve been slightly outside of halkidiki

stiff oyster
#

yeah there are some hidden spots

#

in halkidiki we always go to the first leg

mellow dragon
#

same

#

good swimming spots

stiff oyster
#

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

mellow dragon
#

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

stiff oyster
#

glarokavos is a really nice beach in the 1st leg

mellow dragon
#

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

stiff oyster
#

i mean in greece going to a school of that caliber is like just out of touch for them

stiff oyster
#

i can basically get any job i want back home

#

albeit not as well paying as it would be here

mellow dragon
#

yea my thea says if i get in she wants me to come there for a job

stiff oyster
#

ideally i would retire in greece

mellow dragon
#

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

stiff oyster
#

idk man it depends per household

#

there is a lot of income inequality

mellow dragon
#

and they dont have a job

stiff oyster
#

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

mellow dragon
#

yea thats pretty much my thea and papou

#

they live on pension

stiff oyster
#

which is shit

mellow dragon
#

disability

stiff oyster
#

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

mellow dragon
stiff oyster
#

and my mentality would be different

#

like i look at some kids here and theyre so pampered to the point of being annoying.

stiff oyster
#

i had rich friends back home and they were not like this lol

mellow dragon
#

i honestly dont know what the rich people in greece are like tbh

stiff oyster
#

depends

#

one of my good friends

#

his parents have a 3 gen business

#

over 100 million euro annual turnover

#

but he lives in the same crappy polykatikia

#

that the middle class person does

mellow dragon
#

there is something about a polykatikia

#

that brings a different feeling

stiff oyster
#

they look bad on the outside

#

and good on the inside

mellow dragon
#

like in neapoli

#

everything look shit
