[ionic minnow]

Yeah this

[junior kayak]

Free shirt you have to order with a code from the Cornell store

I dont remember how I got the code tho

[ionic minnow]

[glacial swift]

It’s tote this year

You’ll get discount if u come to admitted students

But ngl the shirt is ugly maybe tote is cute

[potent pond]

no, that leetter is the acceptance package

and yeah the free item order link u get

[white mural]

Haven’t gotten anything yet but I’m also far

[white mural]

[cyan terrace]

this is for all my cornellians

[earnest trellis]

what’s the best cornell dining hall

🙏

[glacial swift]

Yes

[glacial swift]

Depends where u live but eatery has menus everyday

Imo for north famous Morrison >>appel but Appel brunch and hotdog/mac and cheese nights clear

[earnest trellis]

at morrison rn thank you 🙏

this place is insane

[glacial swift]

Ahh welcome to campus!

Lmk if u need any other recs

People r gonna be coming back today so campus is a little empty rn

[earnest trellis]

yes pleaseeee do you know any cool campus spots or buildings for design/architecture people? Stuff that’s like well designed and/or houses art and design related stuff

or just pretty buildings in general

[glacial swift]

How long r u here until?

Ngl I rly fw the Ithaca art museum, obv small but the Asian floor is surprisingly good

[earnest trellis]

till tomorrowww

[glacial swift]

It’s on North campus

[earnest trellis]

it’s weird i’m visiting after being waitlisted

in hopes of finding something to write about

also for the food

[glacial swift]

Go to law school tmrw, 8am-5pm u don’t need card access

[earnest trellis]

🙏

[glacial swift]

Beautiful building and prettiest library

Also has real books

Def check out the other libraries too

[earnest trellis]

omg my cousin told me about that

he went to cornell

[glacial swift]

Goldwin smith I think is pretty as well

Same with architecture building

Then the newer ones

[earnest trellis]

how much time would it take?

campus is huge and i’m not sure how long i’ll stay

[glacial swift]

Wdym

Prob not as applicable if waitlisted, but would def get dinner or lunch in the commons

Or ctown if u want cheaper

[haughty mason]

Morrison if ur at north

Alice cook or keeton if ur at west

[ionic minnow]

Arcadia =/= run at arcadia invite

My mile is 4:24

Arcadia needs 4:18 and also ppl glazing so hard when that time probably wouldnt even make cif or win league then forget about being the best in prelims finals states etc

[ionic minnow]

just dm me discord

[white mural]

ah ic

[white mural]

i lowk dont do track my sister does but im not tapped in at all for how distance times are

[ionic minnow]

I go to school in arcadia

[white mural]

ah

[loud topaz]

omg i got a handwritten note with my letter..so sweet

[earnest trellis]

cornell visit was prosperous

[manic dock]

is it true that cornell send a supplemental question to waitlisted applicants in mid-late april

[glacial swift]

If you’re getting off usually

Not usually that early tho

[manic dock]

wait lmao. If you're getting off, why are they sending supplementals? If you're getting off, it means they are accepting you.

[glacial swift]

Getting off as in accepting

They want to know that if they give u offer you’ll take

[manic dock]

ic

[earnest trellis]

i need that email pls pls pls

[spice gate]

when shld i send loci then

[glacial swift]

Whenever u can

[celest trail]

Hello

[prisma cloak]

hi

[bronze frigate]

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

[astral vector]

guys does anyone who got off waitlist last year know how the getting off the waitlist process works

i heard somewhere that it starts with some emails going out to ask if u would accept their admission if they offered it to you

to a select group of people

someitme between mid to late april

[earnest trellis]

i thought it was after may 1st no

[astral vector]

yeah

after may 1st is when they release the official emails

https://www.reddit.com/r/Cornell/comments/1cil4ji/cornell_waitlist/#:~:text=Waitlist Timeline and Factors: The timeframe for,for admissions notifications across the different colleges.

but this is 2 years ago

idk if its stilll the same

thats why i ask

[earnest trellis]

wdym official

ik some people who got the first communication from cornell after may 1st

nothing until may 4th i think

maybe it depends on school

[astral vector]

like the acceptance letters

[junior kayak]

All yall coming down to admitted students day clogging up the Milkstand 😩

[grim locust]

any Cornell people doing something interesting this summer

I’ve done research internships for the past three but like

💔💔💔

I need a break year

[glacial swift]

Give yourself a break if you want! Last summer to do so

[grim locust]

But like

[glacial swift]

Especially if you’ve done 3 research summers

[grim locust]

I don’t have friends

So what am I gonna do for two months

(I have a gf and like two friends but not enough to be like jobless)

So I am asking for reccs for volunteering stuff or work or program yall did

Idk

Weird question sorry

[deft jolt]

do things you haven’t done before

You could read some books, binge shows, maybe explore the outside idk

Just do whatever seems fun and relax, don’t think too hard about it tho or it’ll become a task rather than entertainment

[earnest trellis]

hey you could…

knowledge max

by watching hella movies and reading books

i think we underestimate how much of a role it plays into socializing

having general knowledge makes u easy to talk to at the very least

[deft jolt]

true

[grim locust]

what if I just lock in for three months and come out shredded

LMAFO

I think I’m gonna try to self teach orgo chem

I like ur idea guys

Ty

[dim mica]

do this

[loud topaz]

i'm going to socal☀️

i graduate june 27th but then move in is early august so i only have like a month

[potent pond]

Def smth a lot of ppl try to do lol

Personally im premed so i volunteered at a hospital, just continued my senior project

[keen basin]

Get a new hobby

[white mural]

Maybe internship idk prolly smt chill though

[white mural]

Self study is prolly good ye

I’m prolly gonna self study a little to get my notes workflow working correctly for classes or wtv before I get there

I also haven’t actually done things over summer and I usually do nothing so I kinda want to do something instead

So kinda the opposite situation

[keen basin]

Summer research program at a lab I’ve been interested in for a long time now

[white mural]

Does any pe class count for the requirement

Like can I take bass fishing or something

Or do you have to do something real like basketball or open gym or wtv

[potent pond]

Yeah

[keen basin]

u can do meditation

if ur really lazy

[white mural]

I mean not lazy per se js something fun

[bronze frigate]

so pretty

[potent pond]

I took gymnastics and wilderness first aid

[keen basin]

Just pick a pe classes that teaches something you really wanna learn

For example I’ve always wanted to learn to dance, so I’m taking a dance pe class rn

It’s an amazing opportunity to pick up a new skill

[loud topaz]

has anyone here taken the small boat sailing pe course

if so do you need to carpool to the sailing center i dont have a car

[white mural]

yeah thats what i was thinking

[keen basin]

Learning any type of social dance is super super fun

Highly recommend

[keen basin]

No but my friend did freshman year and iirc he walked like an hour to it every week

[potent pond]

my tip is to go day 1 and make friends with others in class who have car or smth

and i fu cant then switch

[earnest trellis]

how many people who got off waitlist were full pay

and how many intl get off the waitlist

[glacial swift]

I dont know

No one does

Just know it is need aware for waitlist

[earnest trellis]

i’m cooked

[glacial swift]

Treat any waitlist as rejection

Get hyped for where you’re going

[earnest trellis]

it’s my only choice now huh 😭

[glacial swift]

Wdym

[astral vector]

even for domestic?

[glacial swift]

waitlists tend to be

Very geographic based

[astral vector]

am i cooked

as a midwest student

[glacial swift]

Again, focus on Purdue and uiuc

Midwest if anything helps bc less of us

But can’t assume anything

Waitlists are hard

[astral vector]

well yeah i mean

i deposited purdue but its just im also on the open for other oppurtunities

cause the aid sucks at both uiuc and purdue

[glacial swift]

Amazing!

But yeah I mean u won’t know abt waitlists for months

Uiuc usually has rly good merit aid

If ur instate

[astral vector]

im oos for both 🙂

[earnest trellis]

okay not rlly but the only other school i have on my list is one that doesn’t have the major i want to do

so that’s why i’m kinda hoping a little more than usual

it’s complicated because it’s like the only good school here

[glacial swift]

What major

Even like fashion has a good amt of schools

[earnest trellis]

design

at my current admit school

i’d be doing cs and cogsci

[potent pond]

Info sci

[earnest trellis]

info sci

[potent pond]

i just meant cornell doesnt have directly design either lol

im doubling in cog sci and info sci myself

considered cs but rageuqit

unless u applied AAP

[earnest trellis]

cornell dea in che

🙏

[earnest trellis]

lowk what i’m doing in the future 😭

[potent pond]

ahhh ic

[earnest trellis]

i met with the program coordinator on the campus and the way he described the program made me so sad to not have gotten in ☹️😔

[junior kayak]

Just took PHYS 2208 prelim 2 100% based off vibes alone

Lmfao

[astral vector]

prolly not

[astral vector]

dunno

[keen basin]

yeah i skipped bc i was gonna fail anyways

imma use the drop and just do good on the final

[earnest trellis]

probably in the next 3 weeks

i heard some dude say their kid got off mid april a few years ago but i’m not sure

[junior kayak]

I didnt even study. I just wanted to see the format of the prelim 2 Qs lol

Maybe a solid 70

[keen basin]

I’m gonna do it after

[keen basin]

That’s good for not studying

[junior kayak]

They give like a crazy amount of partial credit so realistically in the 50s, confident to get a 70 with their awkard grading lol

[plush bay]

can u get transfer option off waitlist

[bronze frigate]

yes

[plush bay]

how common is it

[glacial swift]

Hard to quantify

Usually that comes out in June

Tends to be for lower stats people but no known science

[plush bay]

Interesting

[earnest trellis]

do you think it counts as admitted on the cds

or do only first year fall admits count

[glacial swift]

It does not count

[potent pond]

TO may count for the following year admissions

But not as firstyr

[earnest trellis]

so you’re saying there might be a chance cornell’s waitlist acceptance rate is higher than written on the cds

[potent pond]

TO doesnt mean guaranteed attendance

But if you think it counts as an accept, then per that logic, yes the real number could be higher

[earnest trellis]

All I needed to hear 😍

All this coping just to get rejected lol imagine

[glacial swift]

I mean depends on if u want TO

also not guaranteed admission as jae said

[earnest trellis]

i’d be more than fine with it and i’m pretty sure i wouldn’t do that badly to get rejected from it

if i’m doing a conference next month and i’ve alr written about doing the research does submitting the poster i made for it to cornell help my waitlist

or does it not rlly matter

[glacial swift]

Def mention it in ur loci

No one can say what will or won’t help tho

[earnest trellis]

fair enough

thank you!

[elder lagoon]

Is anyone familiar with the Rawlings Presidential Research Scholars program? Are you able to apply currently or were people already selected through the regular decision applicant pool?

I'm aware you can apply in your junior year, but was curious about how people are selected as incoming freshman

[bronze frigate]

cornell waitlist is moving already?

[earnest trellis]

how

[earnest trellis]

source?

[astral vector]

source?

[bronze frigate]

not official just speculation

[earnest trellis]

sus

[astral vector]

hmm

[grim locust]

@potent pond I just visited! It was so nice! Thank you for all the help with my application and all the questions u answered

💕

[keen basin]

Imma be at the CALS thing for Cornell day tmrw

Say hi

[glacial swift]

How did u like it?!

[glacial swift]

Dress warm

And for snow

[keen basin]

Yeah I’m fine I’ve survived 2 winters here

Can’t believe it’s gonna be so cold tmrw

I was literally looking for snakes today w the herpetology club today bc the weather was so nice

[dim mica]

why did u guys pick cornel

[grim locust]

Loved it

[dim mica]

cornell

like what did yall like ab cornell

[keen basin]

Really unique programs and really strong for bio research

Also we do have a cubing club

I see ur bio

[dim mica]

what like programs do they have that r unique

[glacial swift]

Lowkey cliche asf but any person any study

V good biz and pre law and I didn’t know which route wanted to do

Also ironically the weather

Was between here and some warmer options and when I toured them I wanted to die

[glacial swift]

Ngl kinda excited to be able to wear a sweater again

[keen basin]

For me entomology

[dim mica]

how do you like ithaca? i live in a giant city so moving to a small city would be a big difference to me

[keen basin]

But also like anything life sciences Cornell is really good at

[dim mica]

i love it when its cold

[glacial swift]

Giant being LA or NYC?

[keen basin]

And in many niche fields

[glacial swift]

That’s extremely common

I’m from Chicago myself

[dim mica]

San Antonio

[glacial swift]

I think being in a smaller city is rly helpful academical wise

[dim mica]

eh its not giant ig 😭

yall know what i mean tho

[dim mica]

less distractions?

[glacial swift]

Not even top 5 but I get the point lol

Less distractions better community

[keen basin]

Not as much to do outside campus

[glacial swift]

Choosing to stay here for law school partially for that reason as well

But also very easy to do trips to nyc still

[dim mica]

i could do cornell's fly in program when im a rising senior

[glacial swift]

And I travel with friends on breaks

[dim mica]

if i get acepted

accepted

[keen basin]

But tbh Cornell students are pretty tight with the Ithaca community

And it’s a really cool town

[glacial swift]

Also sm random stuff in town

Tomorrow is sundae fest

[keen basin]

Oh damn that’s cool

[glacial swift]

Bc ithaca invented ice cream sundaes apparently

[dim mica]

wait i thought ithaca was in nh 😭

[dim mica]

wow dang

[glacial swift]

New York lmao

[keen basin]

It’ll be so cold the sundaes won’t melt

[glacial swift]

I think it’s inside but idk

I was just at Paris baguette for lock in earlier

[keen basin]

Oh lol it should be

[glacial swift]

Ithaca is a very artisan town too

Sooo much unique art work and jewelry

[keen basin]

Yeah it’s really unique

[glacial swift]

But also ur a soph lmao

Focus on maxing ur profile not where ur going

[dim mica]

fair point

[potent pond]

best of my opitons

which is what a lot of other ppl also say

if it isnt bc of the unique programs

[astral vector]

has cornell waitlist movement for COE started

[glacial swift]

It’s April lol

[earnest trellis]

reddit dude spreading rumors about a cals waitlist admit

[glacial swift]

Since when do we trust reddit dudes

With no proof

Expect WL movement for colleges after 5-1

[earnest trellis]

i pray i pray

ik it’s not healthy but it’s very hard to commit mentally to my current school knowing they don’t even offer the major i wanna do

🙏

[manic dock]

How bad is that I’m a cs major and on the wl? I’m thinking I’m cooked cause there are too many cs majors.

[robust hare]

got in by TO! college of arts and sciences

[glacial swift]

Congrats!!

[earnest trellis]

like rn?

holy

congrats

[robust hare]

nah last thursday just forgot to update LOL

[glacial swift]

What major

[robust hare]

govt

[glacial swift]

Hot

If u ever have pre law questions lmk

[astral vector]

waitlist movement?!?!

[glacial swift]

Ik a fair share of regular gov stuff tho

No admitted as TO

waitlist will be in a few weeks

[astral vector]

oh transfer

[earnest trellis]

how many people get to from waitlist usually

is it less or more than waitlist fall admits

[glacial swift]

they don’t give number

Less tho obviously

[earnest trellis]

okok

thank you

[glacial swift]

It’s usualllly lower stats people

Like seems to be the trend but honestly couldn’t rly tell u

Like people they love but don’t quite have the gpa/test scores

[robust hare]

i am interested in law school but amusingly have no clue what pre-law in undergrad entails...

[glacial swift]

You have plenty of time

Lot of good stuff here

I’m personally a 3+3 so I’ll be going to cornell law in fall

Lot of diff types of orgs on campus but being biased but not totally anymore

Law reviews: CULSR>ULIRC>>>rest of them

Undergrad law review, international (great just more niche and newer so less alum basis)

Debate, mock trial and moot court are all big

Tons of advocacy organizations from working at law school helping with tenants advocacy project or veterans law clinic to prison education reform (PREP) or like anything else u wanna do

Also just do stuff u enjoy and find fun

And def take some of the undergrad law classes with law profs if u want

[robust hare]

very very cool

what exactly is pre-law, does it include like a set of courses or is it an informal designation for people who do a certain set of activities as part of their long-term interest in practicing law?

[glacial swift]

More the later

You can do any major and go to law school

[robust hare]

ya

[glacial swift]

Law school apps are mainly gpa/test scores then essays/letters of recommendation/resume

[robust hare]

yeah thats what i was thinking

and are like undergraduate law-related activities formally considered in the application process in reusmes, essays, or LORs?

[glacial swift]

Resume

I mean you can talk abt them in essays obv with why law

[robust hare]

alr alr that makes sense

tysm

also do you have a particualr interest area in terms of your govt coursework?

[glacial swift]

I’m not a gov major

[robust hare]

ooh alr

[glacial swift]

My good friend who is is very international law focused tho

[robust hare]

misinterpreted this LOL

[glacial swift]

Also 3+3, head of international law review

[robust hare]

very cool

[glacial swift]

Type of stuff she does

Very public interest work

But like u can do whatever u like

Focus on academics first and foremost

[robust hare]

yeah that makes sense

tysmm

[reef hawk]

would anyone mind helping me with my loci

[manic dock]

how long should loci be?

[robust hare]

like one page

[robust hare]

lowkey the cornell cas grad requirements are psyching me out because i have no idea what i will be able to apply from my home institution to those requirements... is there anyone here that has transferred to cornell cas able to give advice on this?

[keen basin]

Ask in the Cornell discord

[robust hare]

can you dm invite

[potent pond]

i have a couple friends who have TOed but i wouldnt be too concerned

the gen eds themselves are only 8 classes and ur major probably includes at least 2

so thats 6 classes which can, worst case, be done in one semester

[robust hare]

gen eds as in distribution requirements?

[potent pond]

and since ur TO they will likely be more lenient with transfer credit for gen eds

yeah

[robust hare]

okay i wasnt even sure if i could transfer in credit for those LOL

[potent pond]

they usually dont let u

but i feel like TO should 💀

cuz thatd be crazy

[robust hare]

hopefully... yeah

[potent pond]

like PHS-AS includes physics, chem

[robust hare]

yeah

[potent pond]

so if u take those baselines

itll prob count

but like SCD, GLC could be more difficult

[robust hare]

i did physics, linear algebra, and intro stats at my home institution

physics had a lab portion too

[potent pond]

yeah then u got like

[robust hare]

they should let that count as phs-as, smr-as, and ssd-as right?

i hope

[potent pond]

yeah

lemme check

yeah

sds

[robust hare]

sds yeah

the other thing i was curious abt is like

the reason i was able to take linear algebra here is cuz i had an ib test count for calc 1 and calc 2 credit

[potent pond]

i think cornell will grant u equivalencies to help u determine what prereqs and such you have, like ur intro stats --> stsci whatever number they think is fair

i just recommend save ALL your syllabi

dump them all on ur advisor

or the department

and theyll deem if its a yes or no

[robust hare]

intermediate econ at cornell requires calc 1 and calc 2

but i didnt formally take calc 1 and calc 2

[potent pond]

so like will u be able to take int econ here?

[robust hare]

so idk if they would let me take it without doing that sequence of calc classes

yeah

[potent pond]

cornell most classes dont check your prerequisites

if you're ever worried, you could email prof and ask how much info from course relies on that knowledge or background

[robust hare]

is it just like an approximation of what info youre coming into the class with?

[potent pond]

before u enroll

but cornell doesnt restrict ur choice to enroll in courses based on ur transcript

[robust hare]

ooohhhh

oaky okay

thats very helpful actually

[potent pond]

usually yes, like theyd expect that knowledge of u

[robust hare]

okay awesome

thats fine w me

and then first-year writing i guess is my last big question

[potent pond]

the few classes that do check, lock enrollment and require u to email the prof (requires everyone, even those with prereqs fulfilled)

and its smth ud be able to see from the start

[potent pond]

i think u do still need to take those lol

[robust hare]

i did a writing seminar one semester here but it's only 3 essays compared to cornell's 4-6, so i'm assuming that credit for that won't transfer

would i just end up taking two fws classes as a sophomore?

[potent pond]

yeah u might

you could try to argue that syllabus

u could try to argue all ur syllabi

this could also be a good question for ur advisor, the AI bot in the cornell server, or any TO in the cornell server (idk any who are active off the top of my head though)

cuz im not 100%

[robust hare]

yeah yeah ofc im asking just to get a sense bc this has been bothering me the past few days lmfaoo

i emailed cas advisor and stuff

but idk if they will take my question seriously before i commit

[potent pond]

i would not be super concerned lol

unless u tryna grad in 3 or smth

[robust hare]

nah

[potent pond]

imo ur main concern should be whether ur gonna transfer or not

[robust hare]

its basically just that i wanna do govt major and also do coursework in econ and phil, and within 3 years i'm not sure how much of that i'd be able to do

[potent pond]

and if u r, the foreign lang requirement

cuz that one is some bull

[robust hare]

yeah i've been thinking abt that

[potent pond]

im triple majoring

lol

[robust hare]

i'm prob going to do sanskrit but like issue with foreign lang is because it takes a shii ton of time

like meeting 4x+ per week

is kinda nuts idk

[potent pond]

theyre lowk all kinda crazy

[robust hare]

wtff cool

[potent pond]

i think like some r 6 credits

[robust hare]

jesuss

thats insane

[potent pond]

for an intro

[robust hare]

r u cas

[potent pond]

yeah

i started in Eng but transfered to CAS

[robust hare]

nice

awesome

did u get stuff from your first year to transfer to your cas major reqs

[potent pond]

yeah i kinda just went into freshman fall knowing i did not wanna stay an engineer

😭

[robust hare]

im transferring into govt but tbh i didnt take a whole lot of polisci classes here so i still have like almost all of the govt major to do... so just wondering like how much of a govt courseload i should expect to take given that

i'm aiming like around 2 courses per sem but idk

[potent pond]

most of the majors in CAS are like

40 credits

[robust hare]

yeah govt is like 30 + intro

[potent pond]

yeah

[robust hare]

which isnt that bad tbh

[potent pond]

thats doable in 3 sems

like completable in 3 sems

[robust hare]

probably like 2 govt courses 1 econ 1 phil 1 language/elective per semester? but idk if i should aim to do heavier courseloads than that

[potent pond]

i do heavier courseloads bc i enjoy heavier courseloads

but i also know ppl trying to take like 14 cred a sem lol

5ish classes per sem is average

[robust hare]

whats like a reaasonable range of credits to take in a sem

[potent pond]

15-18

18 being higher end

[robust hare]

okay cool

[potent pond]

u need like 15 a sem to graduate

so more than that is over, less than that is under yk

[robust hare]

yeah

is it relatively normal among transfers to take both fws in sophomore year

[potent pond]

yeah

[robust hare]

alr cool

[potent pond]

i think theres other classes u can sub in too or smth

that are more common for non-frosh

i have a friend who is a rising senior taking a fws this fall

😭

[robust hare]

ohh shit

[potent pond]

idk what happened there

[robust hare]

would like writing in the major classes work for that generally or nah

obv id have to like

do the petition

but have you heard of that working for fws credit

[potent pond]

probably not

itd be like an engl or writ

[robust hare]

alr makes sense

is foreign language like smth i should do asap? or is it reasonable to defer my start to like junior year on account of needing to take a fws each semester in sophomore year

[potent pond]

u can push it off

but know the sequence often takes 3 sems to complete

if you come in with nothing

so def start junior year latest

[robust hare]

yeah yeah

[potent pond]

again im not 100% on how FWS works for TO too

[robust hare]

right

[celest parcel]

I forgot to send my loci to Cornell am I cooked or should I just send it now

[manic dock]

It’s not too late

If you send it after 23rd, then you’re pushing it

[celest parcel]

alr thank u

[jade lotus]

me about to enter junior year as a gov major with 0 gov classes taken and still planning to study abroad for a semester😭

[robust hare]

is this doable? im actually curious

[jade lotus]

yeah i just have to take mostly govt classes for 3 semesters lmao

i alr finished my language requirement and fws and most distributions

[robust hare]

wait dont u need to have passed 2 govt classes to apply for the major

[robust hare]

niceee

[jade lotus]

imma declare next sem

[robust hare]

cooll

gl

[steel swan]

anyone know if cornell requires us to send ap scores senior year

[potent pond]

once u get in, yeah

[junior kayak]

Sidechat is popping off after that orgo exam 😭

Why did Milner give us an honors orgo exam, even his grad TAs said this was too much for 3580 😭😭 why would he ask for the mechanism of an sulfur ylid if we've never touched them before..

[keen basin]

Orgo was horrible

One of the hardest chem exams I’ve taken at Cornell

Not every problem but the yilide problem was like wtf

[keen basin]

Ik bruh

Stupid asf

I just guessed but I was way off

And ik nobody knew the fucking sub in profs name for the bonus question

He was way better than Milner tho

[junior kayak]

I didnt even know what our profs name was I havent attended his lectures since Fors left 💀

I guessed Gerald. Apparently it was Lambert

I was so confident doing [2+2] for that sulfur ylid just to be humbled looking at that easy ass two step mechanism on Google 😭

[keen basin]

Yeah idk I did 2+2 by instinct and had no clue how to make an epoxide from that

I didn’t even think to do something else since that’s all I knew from yilides

He should’ve given a less shit hint

[astral vector]

apparenly it did

prolly so

[earnest trellis]

i’m seething

should’ve been me 😢

[grim locust]

Anyone committed here need a roomie

I don’t have one and I’m lowk panicking

I’m a girl

[potent pond]

[potent pond]

[timber trellis]

[potent pond]

U should try outlook

And join the server cuz idk how to solve this but ik others who do

[timber trellis]

Ok thanks

[glacial swift]

Cornell is usually p good with aid

[timid ivy]

PLEASE

[timid ivy]

[earnest trellis]

CHE has to send out something today or cornell is REALLY gonna get it 😡😡😡 !!!

[potent pond]

Weve alrdy gotten it in the data breach

😂

[earnest trellis]

karma

[potent pond]

Bro that email does not sound like they paid

😂😂😂

im fried

[late laurel]

day 3 of asking and seeing if any CALS waitlists has moved

[grim locust]

Did ur finals get cancelled

[potent pond]

no

its cornell

finals are like life and death

also our finals i think started friday which means the breach didnt directly overlap any exams

[potent pond]

even after the shutdown last sem, mutliple courses had midterms still run the next day

[grim locust]

Ah okay

How was slope day?

I am very jealous it looked fun

[potent pond]

fun

rainy

trampled

[dim mica]

wait y

[potent pond]

like

its a university that is highly academic

we arent sacrificing our exams

for something

that is workroundable

[dim mica]

ah

[potent pond]

i didnt mean to say an exam is life or death im saying our academics are invaluable

we pay for our academia

not to say i dont wish they were canceled

but the university banks too much on our reputation as higher learning institute

itd be different if the breach deleted course materials/ruined currently occurring exams but it just closed down the site for a few hours

[dim mica]

youd say ppl value academics more at cornell than other schools?

[potent pond]

um

no

the same as any other t20

[dim mica]

that'd be horrific if it deleted like everyones course materials

[potent pond]

maybe a little less than some like hypsm

[dim mica]

i wonder if they were able to delete but didn't

[potent pond]

but there are individuals on either end of the spectrum cuz cornell is so large

[potent pond]

dont thinik they could

like thye probably could but imagine how many classes there are

for 9000+ universities

with millions of students

[dim mica]

wait cornell has 16k undergrads wtf thats so much more than i remembered

[potent pond]

easier to download the files

[glacial swift]

Very fun!!

Def join slope day board if u ever wanna meet the artists

[glacial swift]

It’s Sunday

And Mother’s Day

[keen basin]

It was good

I think the artist was a really good choice bc they have such wide appeal and nostalgia factor

[keen basin]

R u on it?

I really wanna be on stage for slope day
