My son submitted his ED app to HumEc, program in Human Development last night. The commitment is scary! Good luck all! Btw, does anyone know the exact date (if there is one) that acceptances etc are sent?

His supplement essay was just over 500 words.

Is everyone's supplements <= 500words?
I have a little bit over but its really hard to cut down..

My supplement is over 500 too! I don't want to bore the readers but I'm struggling cutting it down too

Peppino

Mine is just over 500 words. The general consensus is that you should be fine

MomofNEA

Odd--I posted my message this morning but it's timed as last night!

I'm not sure if there's an exact date yet, I think they're aiming for somewhere between the 15th and the 17th, but they should let us know as it gets closer, I think.

My supplement is a bit less than 500 words, but my commonapp essay is a bit more.

Mine is way over 500 words but they told me at HumEc that it was okay to be over. Mine is like 900 haha. But I know people who have gotten accepted with >900 so I think I'll be fine. And my Common App is like 620

Is anyone concerned about what people are saying on the "Why Cornell" forum? I'm kind of scared

MomofNEA

^^^Yes, I find that thread stress-inducing. I am fairly certain my S would not be happy in such an environment but as it is all sort of anonymous and decontextualized information, it did not make sense to share it with him so late in the process. While I don't doubt the sincerity of the posters, I don't really know what they're bringing to the situation. Still, reading it makes me think deferral followed by acceptance may have its up-side!

Application submitted to CAS!!!! Fellow CAS applicants...anyone feel like sharing stats? I wanna see how I compare to the random other applicants haha.

aimforthesky

i'm applying to ILR!! if anybody else is applying there could you private message me info or stats? (: i am applying with a 2100 but 3.3 gpa at a rigorous charter school.. any chance if i have really good essays?

To the other HumEc applicants...let's hope they have a good acceptance rate! It can vary a lot year to year, one admissions officer from there told me that one year they accepted 50% and other years they accept 20%. But she said it's always around 1/3 accepted so hopefully it is a little high this year! I'll be submitting mine later today

I just submitted my app, does Cornell email you something afterwards? I haven't gotten anything yet from Cornell but maybe because it is the weekend.

If I may ask, what did you guys score on the sat? Do you think I can get in to cas with a 1330 m+r?

^Most likely not unless you have a hook (minority, legacy, or athlete). Most accepted students to CAS have a mid 1400 and higher SAT .
