[deft jolt]

lol

💀

Ping Chloe idk

[potent pond]

msg the support bot

[misty tartan]

For context we have 46,000 members in this server and I can recall less than 5 who had ever required a Modmail block

[balmy lance]

😭

[sullen ibex]

damn thats crazy work

modmail block

how does tha tevne happen

[tall marsh]

hey i think i know one!

[loud solstice]

i didnt even know you could get blocked by modmail

[misty tartan]

The last person we blocked outside of him was a certain hs sophomore who ban evaded over 25 times

It’s generally a very hard task to do

Bc usually people take the hint when a discussion is over

Outside of them two I can’t recall anyone who’s been blocked but there was likely 1 or 2 over the years

[twin imp]

im an outsider ofc so my opinion doesn’t rly matter but i dont think that the ban was warranted for the little argument yall had

thought it was just heat in the moment ngl

[misty tartan]

There was more

The main thing is I had told this guy no in general chat

His solution was not to accept the no but to continue complaining in here

[twin imp]

im not a mod here so obv take what i have w a grain of salt but like its an argument at the end of the day

but wtv its not me banned lol

[misty tartan]

A lot of a2cers have never heard no before

I see it reflected in how some of you handle your non acceptance decision results

And I also see it reflected in situations like this

And I’ve noticed those who are not used to being told no are that way because people in their life have taught them if they just continue refusing to accept no they can tire other people out and they’ll eventually say yes

[twin imp]

i get that but on the other hand i do think that the mod mail bot should be available for anyone in the server especially for any security concerns. obviously it wasn’t a security concern but i digress

[misty tartan]

We have other ways to report concerns outside of Modmail

If there’s an urgent issue in chat the /report command is available

And it’s highly preferred over Modmail for those situations anyways

[twin imp]

ah so modmail is just like a ticket system basically

gotcha

[misty tartan]

Yeah

[twin imp]

where do u go to college btw if u don’t mind me asking

[deft jolt]

Mb lol

[misty tartan]

I graduated from UC Davis

[twin imp]

[misty tartan]

It was cow town

Not in a bad way tho

Although they sell the same Davis cow at Cornell

[river tundra]

congrats!

[twin imp]

im too tired to read

[misty tartan]

Just click on the images

And do that but with your deposit

[twin imp]

got it

[misty tartan]

In Modmail

[misty tartan]

I thought your tag of cube community would be speedcubing related

[deft jolt]

Oh no lol

Did you search it or smth

Beat Saber is my fav game :)

[twin imp]

i might be blind but i can’t find the modmail bot 😭

[misty tartan]

Just clicked on it and it showed name

[misty tartan]

@foggy vapor

It doesn’t join threads

You have to check top of actual channel sidebars

[twin imp]

just sent it in. thanks for helping out!

[whole sage]

congrats on cornell

[twin imp]

thank you!

today was so weird in school its like i magically gained aura after posting my decision on the admissions account

😭

[whole sage]

when you get in a ivy everyone starts to glaze you

especially if your school historically doesnt have many ivy admits

[twin imp]

my school has a couple but all athletes

[whole sage]

oh nice

any swimmers?

[twin imp]

diving to princeton

mainly track and football to ivies

[whole sage]

whos the diver

[twin imp]

honestly couldnt tell u lol its some new girl who got in

dk her name

[loud solstice]

triple back to back cornell commits in #🎓-commitments #westaywinning

[twin imp]

obviously the best ivy

🐻

[loud solstice]

ofc 🙂‍↕️

[whole sage]

congrats on cs

do you have ap cred

[loud solstice]

yeah apcsa 5

[whole sage]

nice

so youll take 2110 fall 26

[misty tartan]

We verified a Chicago in between but they didn’t post

[whole sage]

my cornell roommate was supposed to be chicago

[open bobcat]

how cooked am i for cornell rd if i lowk sold senior semester 1 😔

[whole sage]

how bad sell

[twin imp]

any way to send pics in the server or is there some sort of separate process for those perms?

[misty tartan]

It’s by activity

[open bobcat]

3.67/4 uw gpa this semester (but took ap physics c, multivar calc, ap stats, ap psych, ap lit)

[loud solstice]

i think you just have to talk more yeah

[twin imp]

ah alright

[misty tartan]

You gain perms once you hit 50 or so and it refreshes the count every few hours

[open bobcat]

i sold finals so hard it shouldve been 3.95

[whole sage]

not sure tbh that course load was good

[twin imp]

got it

[whole sage]

are you applying eng

[open bobcat]

yeah lol

[whole sage]

i like the multivar

cornell will too

[open bobcat]

I have good ecs too i think

[whole sage]

any publications

isef

[twin imp]

calc drains the life out of me this year

[whole sage]

math 1920 at cornell is interesting

to say th eleast

[twin imp]

mandatory for all ppl?

[open bobcat]

nah, top 50 worldwide ranking robotics, provisional patent, national chess team capt are main ones

[whole sage]

for engineering

yes

[loud solstice]

yeah calc bc is frying me lowk

[whole sage]

i like that

[twin imp]

these weird ahhh integrals make me cringe

[whole sage]

calc 3 at cornell makes you visualize stuff so differnetly if you never did before

[loud solstice]

my teacher keeps frying me for notation which i get but like cmon man 💔

[whole sage]

whne i did calc 3 at my hs it was just some bs

[open bobcat]

so true

[whole sage]

my school had like 1k co 2025

[twin imp]

some kid submitted our test yesterday without the constant for all the indefinite ones 🥀

[whole sage]

ouch

[loud solstice]

i got like 10 points off last test bc i didnt write dx at the end of my all my integral setups 🥀

lowk my fault but

😭

[open bobcat]

bro half my multivar/physics class is already committed lol

[twin imp]

i just realized i dont have to do college apps during break

my god

[loud solstice]

YES IKR!!!

[whole sage]

nice

i had to do that last year

it was terrible

[twin imp]

you got in rd?

or ed?

[whole sage]

rd

[twin imp]

isnt it like

[whole sage]

totally unexpected

[twin imp]

insanely hard to get into cornell rd

[whole sage]

let me check

regular had

4188/62466

like 6.7 percent

[open bobcat]

thats so cooked

im cooked

[twin imp]

that’s crazy

[loud topaz]

odds are basically the same in ed if ur unhooked lowk

[twin imp]

is a&s a more comp college for ed and rd?

[loud topaz]

completely different pool across both decision pools. it's an ivy of course it's selective

[whole sage]

a&s has the most applicants

i meant

accepted

[open bobcat]

i like how out of 20 ppl in my physics class, like 10 are already committed to duke, mit, dartmouth, uchicago, brown, upenn, cmu, washu in december 💀

[whole sage]

i shoulda apllied to all ivies

[twin imp]

but it also has the most people apply for it too id assume

[whole sage]

that woulda been cool

but it wouldve been like

rejected from everywhere

maybe one waitlist

[twin imp]

im so happy i got into cornell but i wont ever get to experience the authentic 20 college decision rollercoaster others do

[whole sage]

dw

you can just relax now

start studying for ur aps

[open bobcat]

bro i am not ready for that

im already traumatized and its december

[twin imp]

that’s a after spring break type of problem

[whole sage]

fair

but applying 20 schools rd is so fun

cuz u just open them

and youre dorwning in acceptances

[twin imp]

yeah

but like

i can’t complain lmao i got into a ivy

[open bobcat]

how long does cornell supps take

[whole sage]

i forgot

[twin imp]

the school specific ones take so long

the 650 word essay

[loud solstice]

i poured my heart and soul out on that 650 word cas essay

[whole sage]

did yall have the 3 words descibre you

[loud solstice]

no

[twin imp]

no

[open bobcat]

im going to

[whole sage]

oh what

[open bobcat]

1. sigma
2. skibidi
3. 67

!!!

[whole sage]

ed people dont do that?

i did

i
love
cornell

[twin imp]

😭

[whole sage]

apparently they liked that

[open bobcat]

thats gotta be overused no?

[whole sage]

no clue

i just thought of it randomly

[open bobcat]

i have an idea for mine

[twin imp]

they didn’t ask for the three words this year

[open bobcat]

is it for some majors?

or just not for ed?

[whole sage]

im eng

[twin imp]

perhaps school specific but it doesn’t sound like a school specific question

[open bobcat]

its still there

[whole sage]

oh shi

thats engineering

ok

its engineering specific ig

[twin imp]

so its a school specific one

all I had was the universal essay and the cas specific essay

[open bobcat]

so 2 total?

[twin imp]

yeah

[open bobcat]

gang i got 7

theyre mostly short answer though

[whole sage]

engineering response 1-4

holy poop

[twin imp]

crazy

[whole sage]

no way i did ts

[twin imp]

considering internal transfer is easy at cornell

😭

[open bobcat]

350, 200, 200, 100, 100, 100, 100 bruh

[twin imp]

I rather do that

Cuz the 650 word essay was not fun

took forever

[open bobcat]

but then you have to draft multiple prompts

theyre easy prompts though ig

What brings you joy?

What is one activity, club, team, organization, work/volunteer experience or family responsibility that is especially meaningful to you? Please briefly tell us about its significance for you.

[twin imp]

yeah we didn’t get that lmao

[open bobcat]

yeah thats pretty light ig

[twin imp]

We all contribute to, and are influenced by, the communities that are meaningful to us. Share how you’ve been shaped by one of the communities you belong to.

Define community in the way that is most meaningful to you. This community example can be drawn from your family, school, workplace, activities or interests, or any other group you belong to. (350 word limit)

Your response should convey how your interests align with the College, and how you would take advantage of the opportunities and curriculum in Arts and Sciences. (650 word limit)

these are the cas ones

[open bobcat]

eng has that one too

[twin imp]

every school has the 1st one

its the universal prompt

[open bobcat]

so its the 650 word one or 6 essays (200, 200, 100, 100, 100, 100)

i think id take the 650 lol

[open bobcat]

i mean like tbf its just a why us

[twin imp]

yeah

engineering has so much wtf

[open bobcat]

i think thats good for me though cause i have a lot to talk about

[twin imp]

i personally hate short prompts

[open bobcat]

hopefully can compensate for my bad senior semester 1 i sold 😭

[loud solstice]

yeah me too

[twin imp]

how bad is sold

because you ivy league applicants think bs are bad 😭

[open bobcat]

this

it is actually sold

[twin imp]

what’s that in #?

89?

[open bobcat]

like out of 100?

91.75

[twin imp]

yeah ours is weighted

i thought 90-92 was 3.7?

oh wait

yeah

A-

[open bobcat]

idek but it was like bad

i got a couple b+

i sold finals so hard

[twin imp]

im sure you have good standardized scores which will cancel out ur one “bad” sem

[open bobcat]

like i was on cusp for everything, it wouldve been like a 3.9+

[open bobcat]

nah its prob mid at best

but i think it helps that im first gen at least

[twin imp]

what did you get?

[open bobcat]

780m, 690rw

but i think they expect first gen lower a bit

[twin imp]

a bit low but ur hooked

so i think it will all be good

[open bobcat]

but i think ecs will carry

[twin imp]

i somehow got into as a boring unhooked kid

with a decent score

[open bobcat]

what was it?

[twin imp]

1560

superscore

[open bobcat]

i mean superscore is the same

so

yeah thats p good

[twin imp]

took me 5 attempts but i ended up with 790 math and 770 english

[open bobcat]

i shouldve just retaken this month

[twin imp]

apparently the december sat was pretty hard

[open bobcat]

oh rip

[twin imp]

according to some friends who took it

[loud solstice]

ive heard they made the math section harder to desmos

[twin imp]

good that im done with that terrible test 😭

[open bobcat]

well i could just superscore my math cause 780 tbh

[twin imp]

worst 9 months of my life

college board

[loud solstice]

yeah tg

[open bobcat]

i hate collegeboard so much

[twin imp]

but im grateful for collegeboard bcs they made last years AP exams incredibly easy

they crashed during my ap psych exam lol

[open bobcat]

damn

do i start northwestern or cornell apps next

[loud solstice]

cornell :)

[twin imp]

which one has the earlier due date

realistically

[open bobcat]

same i think

[twin imp]

cornell (:

obviously superior to the suburban chicago college

[open bobcat]

but the ones i do later i might have more experience with writing essays from the prior ones though

[twin imp]

@loud solstice im actually so excited about the food

[loud solstice]

OMG YES

[twin imp]

heard its supposed to be d1

[loud solstice]

have u viisted cornell

[twin imp]

yeah one time

for a tour

[loud solstice]

yeye me too

[twin imp]

im going on Jan 13 for admitted students day

[sullen ibex]

yo why are so many peopel golden

[loud solstice]

a2c '25 birthday role

[twin imp]

a2c 25 role

[sullen ibex]

interesting

[twin imp]

anyone know if cornell does physical acceptance packages?

[sullen ibex]

yes

[twin imp]

i need a hoodie (:

[loud solstice]

yeah they send out later

[sullen ibex]

its not much tho

no hoodie

u get a mid tshirt lol

[twin imp]

aw man

[sullen ibex]

if u want real good merch

go to cornell store on campus

they got some good merch

for a expensive price

[loud solstice]

wait how do u sign up for this is it on the portal

[sullen ibex]

yea u should be able t sign up

[twin imp]

yeah right under your enrollment thingy

let me check where it is one sec

right under the financial aid estimate

[loud solstice]

i registered for this but this is like a virtual thing right

[twin imp]

thought it was in person?

oh nvm

its online

[loud solstice]

tho i feel like there will in person stuff later on

[twin imp]

i think they have like big admitted students day after rd comes out

[open bobcat]

ill remember yg when i get in 👍

[loud solstice]

when do we get our net id and email and stuff

[twin imp]

end of march it looks like

[sullen ibex]

yep

[potent pond]

theres like 2-3 weekends that they host

mostly april

i dont think transport is funded as its not smth required

[wide brook]

even im applying for non-similar majors as 1 and 2 and hope to double major
should the essay focus on one or both

[potent pond]

there might be a nyc shuttle but that could be it

[loud solstice]

oh good by april i will be completely checked out of school

gonna enjoy the nice drive up to ithaca

[sullen ibex]

up to u lol

ur essay ur way

[wide brook]

alr

[wide brook]

what did u do

just focus on 1?

[sullen ibex]

i think i talked ab both?

to some extent?

i more so just talked ab all of my dif interests and why cas would bea good fit for me overall

[ionic minnow]

Getting in

[spice thicket]

ah yes congrats!!!

what’s your major?

[ionic minnow]

Cals bio

Hbu

[wide brook]

alr

[wicked coyote]

SIX SEVENNNN

[twin imp]

[keen basin]

If ur applying to CALS I can help

[twin imp]

its alr

as long as they feed me

im all for it

[twin imp]

https://tenor.com/view/freezing-the-shining-winter-gif-17311436147560701372

[twin imp]

just copped a warm canada goose like a follower for cornell

🤣

[feral rain]

Hey, just curious
cornell doesnt have a neuroscience major is it better for me to apply to biological sciences in CALS or for Cog sci in CAS

[glacial swift]

Which do u prefer

Also NY resident or no

[sullen ibex]

if bro was an ny resident surely thats not a question

also i would say cog sci is prob closer to what u want

[glacial swift]

Idk some people don’t know

(I didn’t)

[sullen ibex]

really

dam

[feral rain]

Im oos

[neat halo]

Our ochem was 94 for A 💀

[keen basin]

imo biological sciences is closest

im concentrating in neurobiology and behavior and it's pretty much just neuroscience if you take the right upper level classes

it's in both CALS and CAS too

[steel swan]

how do i verify as well?

[misty tartan]

Run !verify in #🤖-bot-commands for instructions

[steel swan]

ok thanks!!

[trim frost]

I was deferred from CAS for CS 🙁

is there still hope?

[potent pond]

yeah u werent rejected.

[trim frost]

are there any statistics on how many deferred applicants end up getting in RD?

a lot of people have just been telling me it's a soft rejection since a lot of people get deferred

[sullen ibex]

not much

but i can tel u i got into cas after deferral so

its more so just a

ur a good applicant but we wanna see how u compare to the rest of ur schools batch this year

[spice thicket]

check CDS, but if you’re deferred you should def send a LOCI

[steel swan]

did anyone already submit a deposit? did u get a confirmation email from cornell? i paid but im not sure if it went through because my portal still shows the button to pay but when i click it, nothing pops up

[spice bramble]

yeah the same thing happened to me but i got a confirmation email after a little bit and now the button is gone

[buoyant sphinx]

I've been reading articles that mention an advocacy call from a college counsellor, how useful are they?

[sullen ibex]

this dtm ngl

[loud solstice]

idk maybe if your counselor is really connected with cornell AO it might help but

in most cases this is dtm

😭

[tiny fractal]

soo many a2corns

wow

big ups corns

cornies

[dim wigeon]

🌽

Sadly the Cornell server feels a lot deader 😔

[pure heath]

bruh I thought Cornell had one supplemental + the 3 words thing

come back to the supplemental section after filling out a bit of the app and saw 7 more...

[tiny fractal]

7????

WHERE

[pure heath]

"College of Engineering Questions"

[tiny fractal]

oh im not eng

is ts for dyson too

ill kms

[loud solstice]

lol yeah you have to select the major first

[loud solstice]

idts the essays are different for each college

[tiny fractal]

yea idts

[steel swan]

how long did it take for u? i did it last night and i still have not received anything (but i’m thinking maybe it’s the weekend/holidays)

[formal wraith]

any1 know how comp cornell dyson vs. cas is

originally biz applicant might switch to cas but don't know how much of an advantage cas would provide 4 selectivity

[lilac lava]

I mean I got deferred from it

So prolly same selectivity as cas?

[glacial swift]

Dyson is more competitive naturally

But also if u wanna be at biz school, apply directly to it

Don’t apply to Econ and hope to transfer after a year

[formal wraith]

how much more comp in ur opinion

am looking for biz/scrappy vibes, just know my application is at an inherent disadvantage for any biz bc low calc grades

[quiet helm]

hi CALS gang

[open bobcat]

eng?

[loud solstice]

yess join us in cas

idk i have no idea what the business people are doing

yeah

i think the people from my hs who applied to cornell applied for CAS econ

instead of dyson

[quiet helm]

is it easy to transfer into dyson

[loud solstice]

idk

[potent pond]

Used to be A average

But theyre tryna make it not as easy

J know u probably wont be able to internal transfer to dyson
And cas econ and dyson have their differences

[potent pond]

Not at all

Near impossible

I think upenns larger than cornell

[formal wraith]

would you be able to provide some perspective on cultural differences specifically what i mentioned here

[formal wraith]

^

[potent pond]

I honestly dont know uch abt dyson, @glacial swift

[glacial swift]

Diff curriculum

Double majoring opportunities are widely diff

Big diff between being in a 200 person biz school versus like 800 people a year who do Econ major

Class sizes

If u wanna double major (and not in cals), go cas

[formal wraith]

how closed off are dyson opportunities to non-dyson i.e. recruiting events or the like

[glacial swift]

The alternative is fake

They like don’t look at that

[formal wraith]

like ideally im looking for a scrappy startupish vibe but i know im not competitive for most business programs so i'm trying to figure out application strategies

[glacial swift]

Clubs are open to anyone

You just gotta get into them

[formal wraith]

backup is consulting if i dont get into startups

alr

[glacial swift]

Most big events are open to anyone

Some will be Dyson specific

Like with any biz school

[quiet helm]

cs is easier to get into than dyson i think

[formal wraith]

i'd imagine so yeah

and internal transfer is extremely difficult but not impossible (?)

[spice bramble]

i think about an hour

[glacial swift]

Not impossible but I don’t rly rec

I’d stick with cas

Bc u you’ll be doing freshman Dyson core as a sophomore about to recruit

But def try if you want

[grim locust]

@potent pond how hard r clubs to get into

[potent pond]

What kind of club

Most dont need an application to join cuz theyre social or interest or volunteering

Unless u meant like cuems, consulting, business/finance

[grim locust]

Nah i meant like the social ones

Apparently like at mich they’re crazy competitive

[potent pond]

Chinese student association for example like

U need to go to the social week events

But its like in order to meet ppl to join a specific fam/group

So it makes sense

Like u dont wanna be lumped w strangers lol

Taylor swift club just hosts open events idk not that serious lol just put ur name on the mailing list during clubfest

[grim locust]

So just attend events

And I’ll be in the club

Idk

Also is it worth paying for the gym membership or just I find an off campus gym

[junior kayak]

Gym membership

You get to use all facilities on North, Central, or West. That's a lot more convenient than going off campus

Just be prepared for it to be a little packed if you go after classes or evening

Morning is always the best time

[potent pond]

You’d need a car to get to those consistently lowkey

[potent pond]

I mean id be able to help if you gave more specific example, but recruitment varies by club just go to club fest and generally social clubs don’t require an application

[next goblet]

Yo jae

I got deferred man

😭😭

[potent pond]

Lock in

[next goblet]

I thought i had a good shot at cornell eng w perfect act, usapho, usaco gold

[potent pond]

Maybe too locked

[twin imp]

perhaps too locked

go to cmu

😭

[next goblet]

Im ed2ing to uchicago for phys

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[twin imp]

just ed2 for like

global physical humanity studies

and ur in

[next goblet]

😭😭😭😭

[twin imp]

check dms

[next goblet]

Im a bum for applying as eng

[spice gate]

bruh what im fired

[twin imp]

that’s what i thought

i somehow got in

lol

[spice gate]

oh nice

[next goblet]

Did u also get deferred

[spice gate]

no im applying RD

deferred CMU CS

[next goblet]

Dont do COE

Do AGS

Biggest regret

[spice gate]

uhhhh

whats ags

[next goblet]

Cals

[loud topaz]

Don’t try to cheat the system by applying to a school with a “higher” acceptance rate lowk

If you don’t actually give a gaf about ag engineering it’s not worth it and it’ll impair your fit anyways

Even with the in state advantage it’s still difficult to get in but #idk

[potent pond]

yeah its all the same if ur not instate

[loud topaz]

idk i got deferred and i’m in state for cals which is kind of making me nervous abt my profile but 🙂‍↕️ 🥹

It whatever we win

[soft ermine]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1262971287140303002/1400666881219887176/caption.gif

[tiny fractal]

wait what does this mean for double majors?

like if i wanna do a combination of econ/business alongside psych and maybe something in poli sci would u suggest cas instead of dyson?

oh fuck can u not double major across schools

[sullen ibex]

yea u cant

u can do dyson and cals actually

but i wanted cs and econ so i applied cs

cas

[tiny fractal]

yea might have to do cas

and my pee pee poo poo calc grade is not doing me any favors for dyson anyway 🥀

[sullen ibex]

math isnt that importnat for dyson

[tiny fractal]

rlly?

cs i have a really strong business profile and ecs but that shit poop grade is really fuckinf me over

[potent pond]

ud do dyson with a psych minor

[spice gate]

https://admissions.cornell.edu/community/blog/winter-break-guidance-for-regular-decision-applicants

wait so is only the application with ur info due jan 2nd, and supps, resume, recs, etc due jan 16?

[potent pond]

entire commonapp due (the first part + essays) by the 2nd

id assume to be safe

though in the past theyve let the essay part be submitted late

💀

[spice gate]

interesting

[glacial swift]

Gov Econ double

Or Dyson and minor in political thing

[potent pond]

hi chat

i can help with cornell supps (cas, coe)

im so bored

okay

[tiny fractal]

i will also be taking u up on that offer once i have some things jotted down

[compact sparrow]

cals?

[misty tartan]

To track your college deferrals/waitlists and rejections

We’ve done it for years

[feral rain]

Oh got it just didnt know what yield protection leaderboard meant

[pearl river]

LMAO

[formal wraith]

how easy/difficult is it to take most of the dyson core as a cas and then try and transfer into dyson

[potent pond]

Hard

Dyson transfer isn’t like u just need to meet requirements

There needs to be space and there often isn’t much at all

Also their core is locked to only Dyson students

[formal wraith]

so basically if you apply as something other than dyson you're fried if you want to eventually go into biz/dyson

[potent pond]

Well dyson isnt required to break into biz field

But in terms of ur major, yeah

[formal wraith]

interesting

ok

[final tide]

I'm interested

[sullen ibex]

[tiny fractal]

[open bobcat]

for why us cornell essay, should i mention project teams or is that too overused

[potent pond]

If u want to me tion it mention ut

[spice gate]

had a stroke reading that but i be typing like that too

[keen basin]

If that’s part of why u wanna go to Cornell then mention it

The more specific u can be the better prob

Like if u can explain why it fits with what u wanna do and connect it with ur experiences

[wide brook]

At the College of Arts and Sciences, curiosity will be your guide. Discuss how your passion for learning is shaping your academic journey, and what areas of study or majors excite you and why. Your response should convey how your interests align with the College, and how you would take advantage of the opportunities and curriculum in Arts and Sciences. (650 word limit)

in this essay how can i focus on "interest aligning with CAS"

[jade lotus]

look up cas specific opportunities, programs, classes, profs, majors, anything rly

[sullen ibex]

idk just talk about how its gonna facilitate ur dif interests adn shi

yea ^

[wide brook]

hm yeah but relating to majors, one of my majors is cs and the programs classes are same with coe, the distribution req is the only thing diff

so apart from that idk what counts as a "cas specific opportunity"

[jade lotus]

uhhhh

well if u have another major

thats the perfect opportunity to talk about how cas allows u to pursue both

and draw connections between the two fields + urself

bc u cant do cs + whatever other major in eng school

[wide brook]

yep

alright

thanks

[vocal fable]

i mentioned a project team, but i just realized its in the "why cornell engineering" essay, so is it technically not unique to eng?

[woeful aspen]

to the Cornell AOs for RD:

Reasons that you gotta
Put me in Cornell

[jade lotus]

what

project teams r under engineering and most ppl in them r def engineering but u dont have to be to join + theres also business subteams within them

[balmy lance]

do it

cas

[pearl river]

idk ab your stats but i ego'ed and did dyson ED and got dicked down

nah ill just say it

wait is it allowed or do i have to dm you

[glacial swift]

A what

Hotel school does at taverna banfi but don’t think that’s a CAS thing

Flunch sounds cool tho

Technically can always do that at office hours

But yeah with free food

[potent pond]

Regardless of it being officially in place

U can probably do this normally

I have many profs saying like feel free to bring lunch to my office or office hours

Also intro cs walker white tried the lunch with him weekly for my semester idk if it continued

I love hi mmm

Hes slightly misogynistic, probably slightly racist, but hes an amazing teacher

And honestly i like his style of being very blunt

It worked for me

He an icon

He so old tho

Im tryna take a class w him next spring lol

Should be half and half

But all tied together

Like part why major, part why cornell cas, small part why you

My friend did a merrygoround theme talking abt life or smth

i feel like it being long should be even more inclined

To do a metaphor

It doesnt have to be a metaphor

Have an opening narrative paragraph or bit then use vocabulary that continues to reference back at it

My 800 word essay for uchicago i wrote a bee metaphor

My intro paragrapg is how i stepped on a bee the last time i went to campus

Then i described different levels of uchicagos hive

It wasnt the most like abstract metaphor ive used it was pretty clear, like a paragraph per topic/catgeoru

For my open prompt i picked a previous year one and its like the course offering roster has been altered by one letter (deleted or changed). Whats your major ?

Provably the most abstract shit ive written

I think my major was Themistry

I got wled but i didnt ed or anything

I like telling myself id have gotten in if i ed3ed

I just prefer cornell over it anyways so

I like being drivable distance

Tbf ig illinois is still drivBle for me

Just much further

Also u can look at the course requirements

For the diff majors youd Pply to

See which is funner

Also nyu and uchi have VERY diff campus life i

Then ed2 uchi

This is very personal to me as a suburbanite

But i feel like id die living in nyc as a college student

i Love thecollegetown aesthetic

Nyc is like

For an internship

Or grad school or residency

Not for my first break into adulthood idk

If u value good looking campus 😭

R u ny

Is uchi needblind

I mean any school loves full pay if they factor it in

😭

For clear reasons

Then don’t apply ed 2 😭

[glacial swift]

I wouldn’t apply then

If u don’t LOVE your ed 2

[potent pond]

That’s not greed

[glacial swift]

You’re doing stern Ed 2 right

It’s not like that’s gaurenteed either

It’s still a very competitive school

[dim mica]

why did you guys choose Cornell to either apply or attend? what did yall like abt it the most

[wicked elbow]

they have a nice phys program.. they also have a nice campus ngl

[dim mica]

oh ur lwk right i js looked it up

[potent pond]

Chose it cuz it was the best bang for buck that i got into

Also the distance from home was like perfect for me

[dim mica]

did u shotgun like the t20 or choose schools based more on fit

[potent pond]

And they share values that i had in my high school

[potent pond]

I applied to 20 unis total, definitely top heavy

I picked from a ranked list

[dim mica]

rlly close right?

[potent pond]

Not from fit

[potent pond]

No

I dont wNna be near my parents

Its like the perfect distance of easily commutable (for breaks and move in with car) but not close enough parents can harass me

[dim mica]

oh samee lwk i js wanna get away from my hometown and its weather for at least a bit

[potent pond]

If i had to move in thru a plane

Id probably end it all

And drop out

[dim mica]

is going by plane rlly that bad 😭 i live in tx so id prob have to do plane

[potent pond]

As long as the drive is under like 17 hrs

Maybe 15

Ill do it for move in

So west coast def not it 😭

[potent pond]

I brought a lot of stuff

Just means u need to be more conservative

And trust that stores wont sell out of what u need

Which is very high chance

[dim mica]

js checked on google maps the drive is 27hours for me..

[potent pond]

Yeah the ppl ik from texas all fly

For clear reasons

[dim mica]

ive never been on a plane so thatd be cool flying

r u able to stay during winter break

[potent pond]

No

[dim mica]

what ab thanksgiving

[potent pond]

Yeah

Just winter and summer

[dim mica]

ah ok

do students usually just go home to their parents or is getting housing near ithaca temporarily also done

[potent pond]

Go home

Cuz its expensive

Its like 1.2k to stay

For winter

[dim mica]

oh dang

[potent pond]

Idk why youd stay

Either

[dim mica]

do u have to pack everything in your dorm at the beginning of winter break to go home or only the stuff u need

[dim mica]

was js wondering

[potent pond]

No

Just what u need

[dim mica]

oh ok good

[potent pond]

Yeah just meant theres no reason to stay

Dining closes too cuz dorms arent open

😭😭

[dim mica]

ithaca seems kinda tiny like nothing to do

[potent pond]

🤷‍♀️ its enough for me

[dim mica]

forgot ab that 😭 idk just get groceries or smth

[potent pond]

Why u gotta sidequest daily when u have weekly exams

[dim mica]

not like going on sidequests but just having job or internship opportunities

[potent pond]

U do that over breaks

Not during the year

[dim mica]

oh

[potent pond]

Fair i guess though?

Idk what field ur in but theres also a variety of job opps in ithaca

[dim mica]

i dont party or go out though so i dont rlly mind if theres not much

[potent pond]

Whether a campus job or offcampus

Oncampus is much better and more convenient imo but ig more limited options

[dim mica]

idk what i wanna have my degree in yet lol (soph)

[glacial swift]

I went mainly for best offerings

And location

Did not want to be in the south

[potent pond]

I didnt go out at all in hs either

There was nothing to go out too

😭😭

[dim mica]

same 🔥

do ppl party or go on sidequests at cornell

[glacial swift]

It’s college

[potent pond]

Both

[glacial swift]

Yes lmao

[dim mica]

is it like harvard where u declare concentration/major in your 2nd year there? cause ik they apply by school in cornell right

[glacial swift]

Except for engineering not rly

You want to have a good sense of your major coming in

What are you thinking about

[potent pond]

Cals and humec admit to manor

Major

So youre alrdy in it

Eng and cas u declare by end of soph year

[dim mica]

anything thats not engineering prob

[dim mica]

what is cals and humec

[potent pond]

Colleges

Within cornell

[dim mica]

oh

[dim mica]

im considering poli sci, economics/business?, anything around global affairs, or maybe cs

[potent pond]

i feel like it far too early for u to be in megathreads

😭😭

But we welcome cornell qs ig

[dim mica]

i was js looking at colleges lol 😭

[potent pond]

Youd probably apply to cas theb

Then

Theres econ, public policy, cs majors all within cas and youd enter undecided

Regardless of what u apply as

[dim mica]

oh nice lets go

[glacial swift]

Yeah again you got time

But most people either do CAS Econ and gov

Or you’d do brooks public policy school

Or industrial labor relations school

Or Dyson/hotel the two biz schools

[dim mica]

y do they have 2 business schools lol

[glacial swift]

If you pick anything not CAS, you can’t double major in another college

[potent pond]

U can pubpol from cas

[glacial swift]

Diff curriculums but similar placement it’s weird

[potent pond]

and humec

[glacial swift]

True just v diff program

[potent pond]

Too

[potent pond]

Diff focuses

[dim mica]

oh ok

[compact sparrow]

just submitted my cornell app pls give me a chance i love snow

[twin imp]

good luck

[steel swan]

[potent pond]

the cornell server

[compact sparrow]

I love this server’s emojis

[plucky bolt]

[glad swift]

Cornell lab of ornithology

[junior kayak]

Cornell has the best engineering program of the ivy league, and one of the best in the US. Unfortunately not an engineering anymore lol

Large campus, almost every program is extremely strong, and I love its location

[potent pond]

Sure

[plucky bolt]

ill dm thx

[twin imp]

https://tenor.com/view/的9-gif-12565004940729182637

[junior kayak]

Admitted students week you get a 20% off coupon for the Cornell store

[jade lotus]

[junior kayak]

You didnt miss out dw

Pretty sure you could have required a code if you emailed someone tho

Requested*

[potent pond]

Buy ur own

They give discount cards during admitted students day

I think

I got into engineering they sent a sticket

Sticker

That was it

[twin imp]

but but

how can the arts and sciences school just send a sticker

that’s not artistic or scientific at all

[exotic lion]

For why engineering essay im trying to connect my grandfather getting stroke to cornell's speciality on autonomous systems and technology that can interact with the physical world, my grandfather's story is kinda the hook.

in the what unique voice will u bring to cornell short essay (100 word one), i talked about advocacy for those facing neurological conditoons like my grandfather faced and bring a human centered mindset to discussions and research spaces

is this fine
