What are the overall acceptance/rejection trends from past years? Should we expect more rejections at the start of June? CAS Anthropology applicant rising junior here, still no PIN. Congratulations to everyone who got in recently and good luck to everyone still waiting!
@Bloodyhell That seems like a possible explanation. I’m thinking that if CAS was certain about rejecting us, then they would have given us PINs for this week’s round of decisions. I’m just guessing at this point, but still optimistic and hoping for the best on Tuesday for those still waiting.

Hi guys, I just received my pin doing the pin trick. I thought this day would never come. CAS applicant.
“Your decision will be viewable on 6/6/2017 at 10:00 AM”
Just got my pin as well. Hopefully this isn’t a wave of rejections. CAS applicant
Getting my decision tomorrow as well. CAS applicant. Good luck to all, and remember it’s not the end of the world if you don’t get accepted.
Still no pin. CAS applicant. Sent for review since early April. Seriously??
@sx1997 Did you try the PIN trick? Here’s the link: https://decision.applyyourself.com/fl_login.aspx?id=cornellu
Click on “Forgot PIN or password,” then type in the email you used on your app. If you haven’t received a PIN at this point you should call, it’s beyond late.
Still no pin as well. CAS Applicant. Sent for review since early April as well.
