yeah fair
how is the CAS waitlist guys
Usually around this time like mid-late March is the last bouts of snow
bro someone at my school just committed to doing one yr at uc irvine then transfer to cornlle how TF is that ann option
not good, scroll up to Jinglebelly message
?
i feel like that's such a fire option
CAS is pretty difficult, though I know a few people who got a transfer option there
Not gaurenteed
!
Yeah it saves a lot of money and isn’t that hard
congrats on whoever got in
who else is in my post where we got in but cant pay
waitlisted
Waitlist Cornell, UPENN, and Yale. Js slime me out 🥀🥀
any advice on writing the loci for waitlist
Congrats to all Cornell 2030!
ggs gng
is there a discord server
me too me too
My twin brother got in but I got waitlisted 😔😔
why is everyone getting waitlisted from cornell???
Bro I was just straight up rejected
It tends to happen
Cuz there’s like an 8 percent acceptance rate
probably
Wait is this the insta one or
Idk
got in!
Congrats!!
if u get waitlisted, don’t decisions come out between may and june? like what happens if u don’t get in bc college decision day is like may 1st r u just gambling
U commit somewhere else
If u get off waitlist u come here if u want
And lose deposit money to other school
Treat it like rejection and get hyped for wherever u commit
OKAYY THANK U SO MUCH
Is it harder to get off waitlist for engineering?
Suprised no TO during RD so far
What’s TO
anyone deferred get accepted
Admitted less than last year
Seems like they arent being as dumb as usual
Prob waiting to do TO
my friend that got deferred ed got rejected
transfer option
Congrats!
Cornell AR off WL was like 5% I’m not expecting anything
Cornell sun
😭😭

to see their offer
He actually grilling me im fried
He asked for a link
Wtf kinda
Nerd
Leave it be
riley where u get this info from
😭
Ty
Wait thats like
Marginally smaller

Ok i can dm
I’m guessing the same number of TOs and acceptances will be offered for waitlisted ppl then
I’m struggling to find my cornell financial aid decision 😭😭 can someone help pls

Can I also get it? :’)
Ya
can i have it too please
Ya

when should i ideally submit loci by
and should i keep any hope on this
Can I get asw
ya
Gracias
waitlisted engineering
are there stats on how much cornell wl and how many people get an offer from previous years?
Does anyone know if the Cornell transfer option is guaranteed?
damn i know he's rich but how did andy bernard get in this place
how does cornell decide who to accept of wl?
bro
i was waiting for 11pm with m y parents
and cornell SPOILS
WITH THE ADMITTED EVENT EMAIL
😭 😭 😭 😭
lmao
Guaranteed if u meet conditions
So tehcnically no but theoretically yes
Probably by similar profile to the one who left
Or said no
Def think hard on this, i think the biz structures have diff opps
Maybe ping riley
touch deliberation
same
Waitlist accept % Average 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020
Cornell University 4.2% 6.3% 5.9% 4.7% 0.4% 4.0%
got from their common data set
thx so much needed that
anyone have any advice for wriitng the waitlist correspondence
fr bro uiuc's 1 person accepted 😭
ive been waitlisted to 7 schools 🥀
but guys real question. UIUC engineering vs Cornell engineering. Which one would yall choose?
i toured their engineering it was pretty cool but yeah idk much about general cornell engineering
prob depends a lot
yea my friend toured over the summer and he loved it. he got in ed ❤️
but yea does anyone have info on the Transfer Option for cornell
if it was cs, i'd choose uiuc but i'd cry that i turned down an ivy league
like do you have a potential to get offered that off the waitlist
bro at least you'd have one to turn down 🥀
yeha
idk you might have to be in college attending as a freshman or sophomore to get that
i needa know if i have a chance of getting off waitlist
.
so happy i did not tweak tf out ... defer to accept pipeline locked in for me
Congrats bae
Biosci
I will say expect hella expensive hotel prices those weekends
Def recommend the Marriott by the Ithaca airport
Ohh dont worry we live like 2 hours away
we love upstate NY
really?
i thought it was offered to rising college freshman to transfer after their freshman year
Oh. Then idk
I got Cornell transfer option
It is
It’s actually kinda nice ig
Depends on your point of reference
Do u know anything more about it? Competitiveness, when it’s offered, is it offered to waitlisted students, etc
It might be offered to waitlist not too sure
I got it in RD, but to in general is good news
waitlisted che any idea how to go from here
congrats everyone who got in!!
feel free to DM if you have questions about the bio major or CALS
I got wl but don’t see anything in my letter or portal about a transfer option
Also was anyone who was accepted get an email from Cornell verifying extracurriculars?
That won’t be now
Got it
Dm with any qs abt cas orcoe
congrats everyone!!!!!
i got into cas off waitlist two years ago feel free to dm me if ur waitlisted and would like advice
or admitted ofc!
is there cornell server
does anyone know what courses u take for dyson applied econ for the summer program
PSSP?
Econ/calc/fws
yes
Freshman writing seminar
Yeah they’re not gonna kill u with classes
It’s just to get u to make friends tbh
do u think theres any way i can weave my way out of not taking it in the summer
maube like supplemental classes in fall
i have to choose between cornell summer or a banking internship+10k+mentorship for 4 yrs or taiwan study abroad which all overlap
😔
If it’s conditional then no
What does ur letter say
PSSP is when they think you’re a bit behind in school usually
And they want you to catch up
whayever that is
wraps
They sometimes pay a little to recognize lost summer money
It’s not whole summer I don’t think
is cornell transfer out soph year good
Wdym
liek to over ivies
Ivies tend not to take laterals
If anything go cheaper school freshman year and save money, gpa max then go to diff ivy
Ivy to Ivy is rly hard
Yeah
Why 😭
nothing is cheaper cornell full ride
😬
can i grt inv 😔
Bro then why r u sad abt this summer
Take full ride Ivy
i wanted to seeif i could go to colum
You can get a banking internship for every summer while here
reallyyy
I mean u got one this summer it seems like
again why
Ill dm u inv
i highkey prefer location more
maneee
did u get rejected Columbia
yep
i live in nyc thats why
whattt
They worked out accoms for thwir courses
Come up briefly for exams or msth idk not sure
yea
As i said they worked it out cuz they co opping
ik but thats still fairly inconvenient ngl id stay in ithaca
It’s all Asian food
oh LOL
Like this entire town is Asian food
Ling ling
good to know
One more day then spring break 🙏🏻
I had a prof end class 40 min early today saying theres nothing between us and break
All of us like
Its thursday
LMFAO
I sadly still have some stuff
If i had an exam like u
Leave 6am Saturday tho
Oh
But yes this morning I had one
Ez
is getting off the waitlist realistically possible
No like for instance JHU has one but only 50 ppl get in each year 😭
have any stats been published abt number of total applicants this year?
Nope
The source I assume they pulled from does not have them
Can anyone help me and give me more info on Cornell transfer option
Same
how hard r cross college double majors
thats wiild
arent these impossible
u can minor across colleges but that's it
i just rejected cornell for harvard
good luck!!
You can’t
Thank you bro 🙏
thank you for your service 🫡
What do you want to know about it
How high is it to be admitted
Also for the people who have done it what’s some good tips
I did it and while it isn’t guaranteed it “feels” kind of high chance don’t quote me
I personally went to a school that I would be very happy to stay at but I know ppl who choose to go somewhere cheaper and bank on transferring
I heard it’s like 90 percent
What college did u apply
How long do u guys think i should wait until i send a loci to Cornell
At Cornell? CALS
Yes same
You probably still have to hit the gpa and especially the class requirements though
I hope I can go next year
I sorta celebrated because I feel like it’s a solid chance
They should send more info later
Alright
Did u feel left out after joining a year later
There’s a ton of transfers at Cornell and I had a lot of high school friends who were already there
Nice lol
what do I say when my friends act what happened to Cornell
Do I say I’m going my sophomore year?
Uhh I never mentioned that I got this offer until I got in sophomore year except to some really close people
accepted to engineering school :p
@potent pond hello
Hi
Congrats lmk if u want cornell server link
yaaa can I : D
did u get an offer for it? just curious
Yeah
Today
I’m thinking to do it
interesting
were you wl yesterday?
it helps save some money if u r able to fulfill the requirements set
Theres a list of common universities that easily cover credits for cornell transfer unsure where
Yea did u get waitlisted initially?
Ppl don’t rlly talk abt admissions
Depends a lot on school
But also as jae said
did anyone get guarantee transfer option 😛
Darn
There’s a&s cs anyway which I didn’t know ab so it should be fine regardless
Whats ur plan
Math + cs prob
Wait u can’t cross double major?
Idts
then why tf did I apply for engineering cs im stupid
Maybe you’d have to like entirely transfer majors then you could double if you wanted idk
Bruh yeah
But then why did I apply for engineering at the first place if I might double major in math or something
Oh well
It’s all good I’m sure you can figure out something
No double degree
Double major fine and common if in same college
U can internal transfer for the option
But yeah
Cornell deemed me not qualified for need-based aid despite my household income being less than 50,000 USD💀😭 cornell was highk my first dream school but rip lmao
Thats crazy
Appeal
Whatd ur npc say
It’s okay… yale got me 😭 I heard that cornell was stingy but this was kinda insane to me lmao
Cornell hasnt been stingy for many
ivy often meets ivy aid
So def try to appel w that too
Appeal
Cornell likes to reassess aid on deadlines
Once ur in n stuff
I dont think I’d choose cornell over yale or brown so I might just reject their offer! Still waiting to hear back on external scholarships but I find it v interesting how different schools’ “meeting full need” can be 😭😭
idk I lowkey didn’t bother cuz I thought that I’d be well over qualified for atleast half off haha… 💀💀
But cornell wasnt my dream
many ppl get screwed by assets
Or retirement funds
It was my dream! When I was applying I wanted to go to vet school so Cornell was definitely such a great option. But now I’m leaning towards env sci and ir so I think we just weren’t meant to be in the end fr :)
Ah icic
Oh my friend is doing vet stuff very cool
My dad has some money saved but it’s not even enough for the 4 years, and they’re saving it for their retirement so I’d feel horrible if they sacrificed it all AND had to take loans to send me to cornell 😭😭 we don’t even have a house so it’s kinda crazy but oh well :)
Rejecting my dream school for so long will hurt a bit but I hope yall that got in for ‘30 have a blast and for those on the wl, best of luck 🥹🤞
Yo bro in pssp?
Dm me
whats pssp
cornell or berkeley for finance
Whichever one fits you better tbh
Either will be fine
yeee
The summer program for prefrosh
ib?
depends where u wanna be def cornell for nyc, berkeley for west coast offices ig
Bros late 😭
a lil late to the party
congrats
theres a server!!
anyone get off the waitlist for cornell here?
I think they said there won’t be waitlist movement until may 4th
Did u get it yet
yeah I'm in
yo bro would u happen to know anyone in this server that got off the cornell waitlist?
not in this server
Ik at least more than like 5 ppl irl dont rlly exactly remember who tho cuz i dont like storing that info
oh yea i get that
Concerned abt it changing my subconscious bias n shi
Def send a loci sometime april but take the time to find things at ur As that ur excited for
yup thats my plan
wym by As?
oh yea im super hyped bro thanks
dm me!
i got off cas wl 2 years ago
Good job Cornell
who got off Cornell engineering waitlist?
wowo congrats!
Summer program
That was mandatory
I only know one other person who did it who is active on cord
movement only happens after may 4th
No I got the TO offer
i meant from previous years
omg congrats!! i got the TO last year for cals what school r u
Can I dm you about what you did to get off wl??
CALS
Thanks lol
i was also cals, i ended up not taking it cuz of nyu do u plan on taking it?
Yeah loll
It’s my dream
Idk how successful it will be tho
as long as u do the requirements ur gonna get in, i know 2 people at cornell rn who got the TO and it all worked out
TO is pretty much guaranteed as long as you actually meet the requirements
and for major it was lit just take 3 specific classes and get a 3.0 gpa and ur good to go
Wow bet
I got a few friends in nyu they say the love it
they’ll send u an email in a week or so with more info and you’ll get to do a zoom info session where they answer a ton of ur questions it was so helpful
Oha
Thanks for the info
yep best of luck and congrats on your almost acceptance!!
Haha lol
I gotta go to uiuc for a yr
I also had the TO if you’re interested @celest trail
Woahhh
Is it that common
Also lol @raw jetty I think you and I DMd about it last year — how did it go
Depends on your college. For ones like CALS, CHE and ILR (me) they hand them out more often. For others like CAS it’s rare but still possible
What college did you get the TO for
Cals
Yeah that’s probably the most common
Does more often mean it’s harder
Nah it wouldn’t matter
How likely is it that I can go next year
I know it probably said in your letter “this is not guaranteed” but as long as you fulfill the easy requirements like a gpa and taking certain classes they’ll accept your transfer
Ooo
They have to say the “this is not guaranteed” for legal purposes
Oh
As long as you don’t get arrested or something you’re fine lol
yes hi!! i ended up choosing nyu im here rn!! what college did you end up going to for a year
My friends keep asking where I got in. It’s kinda hard for me to say
it was also hard for me to answer i just said i got a guarantee transfer option to cornell but i was gonna go to ucsc for a year
Rutgers cuz it was in state
Oh
that’s right ucsc was in state for me too
Yeah it is really weird. I was mostly quiet about it and never really revealed it to anyone except like a month before I got my acceptance offer
that’s cool
i was planning on not telling anyone at ucsc about me transferring just in case yk
Yea exactly it’s more cheap. That’s cool you’re in NYU though
but then i ended up at nyu so it doesn’t matter
can i ask if you’re a legacy?
No lol
all the other people i know who got the TO option were legacies
interesting interesting
I got no legacy
resident of ny?
she’s also a legacy plus my roomates brother got the TO also legacy ed
Woah
what major r u
I applied for agricultural sciences
cornell got rid of my major i applied to lol
no more biology and society at cals rip
Then why they lying straight up to my face 😑
i think the major is still there like in the email it says i’m still that major but they’re no longer admitting people as the major
It says they won't admit first year students into the program
No its not
yeah this lol
Damn lol. This was last year right
How is it not. Just had a friend change their major to bio&society in CALS
And it still shows its a major on the CALS website
Oh
Once everyone in it graduates itll be gone
i got that october 2025
So yeah its not a major anymore
yep
Congrats
thanks lol
Most TO ik came from suny or like UC but ik a couple from cmu
are there a lot?
Are you a cornell student rn
Yeah
Are there any people from random unis like Uiuc or Wisconsin
What college?
Ppl usually start at a state school cuz cost
Rlly
my friend who’s a senior at cornell rn did her first year at UW madison
Yeah probably
I’m thinking to do any of those two
Def speak to an advisor
To make sure it wont be death to find classes
this is
More debatable
Ahh
You need to meet ur class requirements
uiuc def lot cheaper than cornell
Cornell may not take a lot of cc credit
on my information session they said i could do cc as well but i gotta check with an advisor to make sure the classes line up
I got in for eng but im in arts now
Yeah but it depends by major
That’s rlly sick
Some requirements will be easier to cover than others
ah yes makes sense my requirements was just calc 1 and some sort of life science and i think one english or history class
how hard is cornell. Is it rlly that bad
so very straightforward i feel
My TO friend from uiuc is doing nut sci
Cuz ik about the suicide stories
very rare
The last recent suicide
I heard kids are depressed
Was due to a personal reason
And it’s just cold and dark
Not academics
Oh
Its dramatic
Get a happy light
and suicide happens all the time at college it’s just more dramatic at cornell cuz the nets
Yeah its no more than many orher top schools
Oh alright
People always point out the nets as well, as if there's lots of schools with bridges going over a gorge
my sister is gonna start there in the fall i’m excited for her
Cuz when I go to a subreddit I saw stories of how he wanted to die or genuinely run away
yeah literally like show me where the gorges are at any other top school
like it’s that bad
People are dramatic
avoid reddit in general
And remember that only the most salient or severe things are what ppl post about
people r just as depressed at any other competitive college
So ur not gonna get the thousands of normal happy people
that makes a lot of sense
i’m a D1 cornell glazer idc
The most dressing thing thats happened to me this semester is living on the third floor and the elevator being broken the last few weeks 😩
Depressing*
how hard are the academics in general. Like what would u say the avg grade a student would get in a class.
Ik that’s very vague
Depends on the class/major
I will say if ur not used to the joys of “trauma bonding” with ur peers, idk how well the academic environment will be bc that is something super common at competitive or strong places
Yeah
Like the “omg im gonna die i have four exams this week” isnt a deterrent
Its just how people talk
am i reading the stuff wrong on the website or are the actual gyms on campus like
terrible
Most classes Ive taken curve to a B. Some B+, some B-
hopefully I’ll survive
i must be reading it wrong
ah ok
I ain’t the brightest dude so
All of them have at leadt 2 racks
damn ur a swimmer
Not for Cornell
oh thats cool
oh thats cool
I like Noyes
i feel like ive seen something abt that
noyes looks like it has the most stuff even
oh that makes sense
they split it into top and bottom on the website so it looks like less
Treadmills benches 2 squat racks and a double cable setup
cornell got such a fire Alma Mater
They both have back machines
Down has like 10 squat racks
Up has the cardio machines and floorspacr for stretching or floor workouts
Pool hours are ass
I like Noyes for the treadmills and weights. That's usually all I do for my workouts in the mornings
Then run to Newman for some pool time at atrocious hours
i think i also just love tgl cuz location convenience
tgl looks nice from the pictures
If I wanna swim and do squash can I still do that at college
I’m free
Leave at six 🙏🏻
Yeah theres a swim club
I’m not good enough for the league stuff
Im home lol
But I wanna do it for cardio and fun
Lucky ass
Theres a lot of diff PEs too
And open swim hours
What’s the bare minimum for a club
Or commitment
Uh
When i lifeguard for them i clock some doing 20s 25 frees
Idt its that deep
Sub minute 100y free and like 1:15 100y IM for a chance
Yes
Bruh
The 100 isn't that fast. The IM sucks
I might have to grind over summer
how is the student athelete balance
😭 i swim like 17sec frees
Are in the swim club and xc club
Depends on sport quite a bit
baseball
The first time I tried out freshman year I got rejected with a 59 100y free and like 1:20 100y IM. Goggles fell in both and they wouldn't let me redo them 🥀
Lot of friends are tho
Damn
The run club is open to anyone who wants to run
If you’re recruited talk to your coach
i'll prolly play club but might asw try to walk on
Now im glad i didnt try out LMAO
recruiting wise im in the range of velocity in this class
yeah fs
sick
oh well yeah ofc
Can’t wait to go and meet new people
Summer shouldn’t be cut tho that’s mainly for fall sports
track has part of it cut i think unfort
since my sister is leaving before i am im pretty sure
But yeah most of my practice between 5-8 times a week
Depends on sport
Usually a couple morning practices and every evening
ic
so like normal ish d1
I guard for diving and its jarring how spontaneous their practices times r
Doxxing ur insta
i c u
Feb1-may 15 is comp season
Idgaf
fair enough
He can like my Europe post in a week
Help i saw them building that at 9am
😭😭
😭😭
Since always lmao
lowk less games than i thought
I didnt go last year I only knew of the phoenix and dragon
Who is in charge of the unicorn
unless its still 3 game series and the 2 day ones include double headers
The phoenix was so bulbous this year
i have multiple friends
They are
Who take extra PE classes
For shits n gigs
And its like so unusual to me
But valid ig
ah
Check their 2025 insta highlight
Physics is unicorn
ic
I thought dragon was bad until I saw how round the phoenix was
Last year was a nice idea with the colors
Its body positivity
Yeah fatphobic
😭😭
DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON , OI OI OI 🐉🐲🟢
#cornell#cornellaap#cornellarchitecture#dragonday

This was my friends
They did so good
What happened..
Our year was peak ig
i just didnt buy one
I’m gonna miss them they’re in Italy all of next year
I need to see thus round bird
Tf is that
😭
They need to stop doing it so close to break tbh
LOL
Wheres the rest of it
Oh
Baby dragon
Engineering students will definitely be posting this photo to make the phoenix look better
Is there any discord for admitted students?
Yes
Can anyone send the link?
Dmed
Could I get it as well?
Hello
hi
Wsp
i am sad i have so many wl and not many a
Only need one
Damn
hi hi are any of you guys in any group chats (instagram, messages, discord, other platforms etc etc) for incoming cornell co '30? and if so i would really appreciate it if you could shoot me a dm w the link!!
Me too!
Theres the discord server
how hard is the math 2230-2240 sequence
the theoretical linear algebra and calculus one
eh
theres no harder when ur thinking eng seq vs arts seq
one is just more proofs/theory while the other is more applications
i have hella friends who took the class
they say it's easy
then again theyre genius intl kids
i was thinking cause it seems like an honors sequence
but i cant tell lowk
in general though, it's more rigorous w more proofs
if u like theoretical shit do math 2230
nah
prob that one then yeah
math 2940 >> math 2210 in easiness
by extension how much harder are the honors math classes in comparison
like the 4130 4140 sequence
oh honors
do u wanna do quant
my b
then take honors analysis
ic ic
it's the "quant" course at cornll
prepares u really well for quant but also ridiculously hard
honors math majors here also take math 4330-4340
another really hard abstract algebra class
since a friend of mine who is way smarter than me is going through honors at uchi and is dying
yeah that seems rough idt im gonna do full honors
i'm not getting an A- in every class but i guess its a good goal
wait is that the criteria
?
for math honors
wdym criteria
like to graduate w/ honors
yeah you need to take the honors sequence
oh its just median of a- thats not as bad
that too
The majority of upper-level math courses must be taken at the 4000 level or above, and students must have distinguished themselves. For example, the student has taken the honors sequences (MATH 4130-4140 and MATH 4330-4340) with grades of A- or better; or has taken graduate core classes (MATH 6110-MATH 6120, MATH 6310-MATH 6320, MATH 6510-MATH 6520) with grades of A- or better; or has written a senior thesis and has a strong endorsement from their advisor; or has mostly outstanding math grades (A or A+).
hm
ah but i'd probably do a concentration in cs so that makes it even harder
or a double not sure yet
cause of the
"Students who have not completed the requirements for a concentration in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics are expected to be exceptional to receive honors. In addition to the criteria above, they must have done outstanding work (A or A+) in the courses counting towards the math major in their concentration. A deep mathematical component to the work in their concentration is required." part
if u want, u can also take honors oop with an honors math course
which i dont recommend unless you're a true genius
Yeah prolly not
my friend whos a literal genius said 2112 was the hardest thing hes ever done in his life
What’s the lowest math in Cornell
I haven’t actually experienced what a truly challenging math course is like so idk maybe
If I take bc am I behind
no?
Ah I see
i should enroll in that class for a free A+
Ayy I am confused between Dartmouth and cornell ed 😑
Please guide
Just wanna know how is Cornell arts and science for information science or such majors
Also the acceptance for intl
did anyone get meinig family cornell national scholar email?
I did
Yeah
Seems super cool
I’m in info sci arts
Yea fr
Info sci arts and info sci cals r the same major
However it’s just diff grad credits
Isst however has better job prospects and you learn more but significantly harder
Ooo
tbh info sci is kinda of a "mickey mouse" major compared to other stem
you just need basic computing, calc one, and stats
W
Congrats!
Are there any gyms on campus that don't require u to buy a membership to use them
no
but the pools are free use for students
the gym membership fee can be reimbursed if you are poor/on cornell student insurance or work in the fitness centers
congrats!can u share the bg?
whats bg
No u gotta buy the membership
Yeah

The hours r shit
What time
Am or Pm
Thats ass 😭
The general ifea
Of whats encompassed
I think hnh goes later but not later than 1pm lol
So like 6-2
i guess
Doesnt teagle have like professional swimmers in the pool so u cant go in because of them
Not during 6-2
Those r the open lap swim hours
There may be PE classes but the practices are usually like 3-6 territory
Maybe 3-8
got my cornell email shit is getting Real...!
im soo excited to come for cornell days
plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss get me off wl!!! I promise I'll respect the bears
me tooooooo
wait. Why does my server name say caltech 55%?
This shit is so unreal
more like 2%
.2%*
feeder???
