Anyone hear about ILR?

82

Thereā€™s no indication that Cornell sends likely letters in Feb or early March. That is something that Yale does. Per the Cornell website, acceptances prior to Ivy Day, may be sent to some admitted students for Nolan and ILR.

I applied to ILR and have not heard anything back but also have not seen anything online

84

Early acceptances only go to a very small number of applicants. Donā€™t worry about it. Youā€™ll have your admissions decision on Ivy Day like 99% of the applicants. Good luck to you!

Itā€™s not a likely. ILR releases 10-15% of accepted students decisions early. It doesnā€™t say you are likely to be admitted, it says You are admitted. Typically you see 15-25 students comment each year across Reddit and CC, and with an extremely small applicant and student body size for ILR, thatā€™s a pretty big number.

86

Where did I say it was a likely?

87

Sorry, I mustā€™ve read your message wrong. But the 15-20% still holds.

88

Oh really, I have not seen anything about ILR decision releases in early March other than threads from 6 years ago. I have seen some for SHA though

89

where does it say that

90

Iā€™ve seen them all over past couple yearsā€¦ it was mid-march though for ILR, early march for SHA.

91

How about College of AAP? for students who appllied for B arch programs?

92

My D24 applied to AAP for B.Arch. Never heard of RD early admission by AAP before. Also, yet to see a likely letter from the school.

Only Nolan (hotel school) and ILR send some admit letters before the regular decision announcement known as Ivy Day. Itā€™s on Cornell website. Read a few posts up thread to see the quote.

All acceptances to the architecture school will be announced on Ivy Day (March 28).

Engineering has sent likely letters, as least historically.

My son and I filled out the FAFSA late January. We also filled out the CSS for a couple schools that required it. Now Iā€™m seeing that people are talking about the CSS for Cornell, but they didnā€™t tell us they needed it. I donā€™t remember seeing it as part of the application process. Should we be sending it to them? Is it too late? Thx!

97

I remember seeing a post on reddit where a person got an early acceptance on March 15. So I suppose the remaining early acceptances come out mid-March.

98

Cornell requires the CSS profile if applying for financial aid as stated on their website. The deadline for Cornell was February 15, but I would contact them as soon as possible to find out if they would accept a late submission.

Thanks. I donā€™t know how we missed that. The other schools reached out to us and were very clear about it, (USC and Amherst) thanks for confirming.

Most of the top private schools require the CSS. Here is the financial aid page that also includes their contact information:

Not filling it out on time will not impact admission. But it might delay an offer of aid. Since you already completed it for other schools, all you have to do is log back onto CSS, enter the code for Cornell and pay $16.

Hope this helps!
