Cornell ED Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

Is anyone applying to CALS with a major of Global and Public Health Sciences? :slight_smile:

Did Cornell contact any of your schools about first quarter grades? They didn’t ask for mine… so is that bad?

I sent mine in though they didn’t ask.

@roboticsnerd33 They don’t ask for them, I opted to send them but it is purely personal choice.

I never got contacted for an interview… Applying to HumEc. Anyone in this same situation, or is this a bad sign?

@crispustree I wouldn’t worry about it, sometimes there aren’t enough alumni to meet with all the students. You might also stand out geographically, so that might have been the issue. Finally, when I talked to my interviewer (I applied to CALS) he said he had meant to contact me 2 weeks prior to our meeting, but he was in London, so it’s entirely possible for your interviewer to have forgotten.
Regardless, don’t worry about it! The ā€˜interview’ was more of an information session to update Cornell on stuff we’ve done after we submitted our applications and to ask questions. It won’t adversely affect your admission to the university.

hey guys! i applied early to upenn, i was just wondering if any of you guys know how many ED applications cornell got? i know upenn got 5999, but i am assuming cornell got more because it is a much larger school.

My first quarter grades were my best yet, but I didn’t send them because they didn’t ask… dammit. Ahh, live and learn. I doubt that little bump in GPA would make that much of a difference??

^if they don’t ask for grades, they probably won’t consider them but it can’t hurt to send. No one really has any idea when decisions will be out (everyone’s source for thurs is the alumni calendar which was published pre-july and subject to change depending on how many apps they received) so why not send?

@quietdesperation Right, I figured it was too late, but I’ll consider sending them. Thanks!

According to a few websites, decisions for Cornell ED should be out on the 8th, but I don’t know how accurate that is.

@skiing26 Cornell received a record number of ED applications last year (4,882) so it’s safe to assume this year will be higher.

@amelieismylife Thanks for the reassurance. Best of luck to you!

@crispustree Thanks, you too! Glad I could help.

@reformedman Uh not necessarily, Animal Science is actually quite selective because it is a rare major that not many universities have. I applied to Animal Science because I want to become a vet.

@cotopaxi I really hope it is tomorrow.

I wish I knew how many people applied to nutritional sciences and how many people they admit…this wait is killing me :frowning:

Anyone know anything about people who apply ED for French major? Are the language majors particularly selective? I’m so nervous for Thursday :-&

@lulu0207 Best of luck! Hopefully we’ll be future classmates :slight_smile: x

Is it now 100% sure going to be released this thursday?
