Has anyone received any kind of notice saying that they are in, without a diversity letter?
Nope
Hi, I applied ED to Cornell in November and got deferred. Do you think Cornell sends any likely letters to deferred students?/Has any deferred student received one?
@Burke1 YES, my DD got likely letter via email first, then a snail mail letter that says “Although the Ivy League member institutions will not officially notify RD applicants of their decision until March 28, it may help you with your planning to know that you will be admitted to Cornell University”.
It does not mention diversity on it. DD is an engineering major.
This is helpful. Do you know whether engineering students are more likely to receive the non-diversity letters ahead of the d-date?
@cerenajade im a deferred student too, and i haven’t received anything form cornell.
@Burke1 There are 3 types of students who receive likely letters, URM, people who receive the biggest scholarships, and women in engineering. Not all engineering students receive likely letters because not so many people receive likelies, not being a woman would add up to the possibility you aren’t receiving one.
Any agriculture majors heard anything in the regular round?
I believe only female engineering applicants have reported getting a likely letter - WIE program (Women In Engineering).
Received a Dyson likely in the mail today! Super excited!
Anyone else from agriculture?
@justme2018 did u get an email before that?
@Burke1 I am from CALS if that’s what you mean.
When you guys log in to check your financial aid checklist did u guys have to submit the Monthly income and expense statement? I dont know what they want me to submit
I got a likely letter yesterday for CALS

@ethanfine you got the electronic likely or the snail mail?
@HERCULES_HERCULES I got an email. I don’t live within the US, but they normally don’t send these diversity hosting ‘likely letters’ to international students (the director of admissions told me this in an email after I had slight trouble signing up). He then said that since my alternate address was within the US, I had gotten the email regardless, and that they would accommodate for their “mistake” of inviting me to the event (as they only intend to invite those who live in the US) by still paying for my transportation to the event regardless. The physical mail is probably on the way through my courier and will be here within a month hahah
However, whether I was supposed to be invited to Diversity Hosting or not according to their regular policy, I was still going to be admitted on the 28th (otherwise, they would obviously not accommodate nor pay for my air fare to visit Diversity Hosting)
@justme2018 can i ask your stats, ECs, ethnicity? Thanks.
If an applicant doesn’t receive a likely letter or a diversity letter, does it mean that he/she has already been rejected?
