Cornell RD Class of 2022 Applicant Thread

@Kd6410 dont get too down on yourself, sometimes great students are rejected for no identifiable reason, you still have a chance at Cornell my dude

@ProllyBrokeSoon Thanks for the kind words - I got WL for WUSTL so I’ve been pretty depressed since last week (about to get rejected from USC on Sunday). I’ve been rejected to all my reaches

no problem bro, remember to stay positive @Kd6410

Rejected from UChicago, Swarthmore, UCLA, Williams, Northwestern and waitlisted at UCSB. I got into Cornell via Diversity Letter— don’t let other college decisions change your hopes. They’re truly independent of one another and each decision is made based on specific needs that that school must fill— ethnic quota, extracurricular/talent/skill shortages, etc.

Which is better major- Computer Science in L&S or Computer Science/Engineering in College of Engineering?
Pl. guide me.

It all depends. Basically, the majors themselves have no difference, but there is difference in the other requirements you have to fulfill for each of the schools.

@stanford2022 Computer Science in CAS (I assumed you mistyped CAS) will be better if you are interested in doing further studies and possibly going into research because this major will be more theoretical.

Computer Science/Engineering in College of Engineering will be better if you are interested in entering the job market after graduating because this major will incline toward the applications of computer science.

Hope this helps!

I have a 34 ACT a 4.0 UW and a 4.32 W but I got waitlisted at Amherst and rejected from Wesleyan and William and Mary oos. Do I have any chance of getting into Cornell?

https://decision.applyyourself.com/fl_login.aspx?id=cornellu Is everyone else able to login here? I was able to get my pin & password, and login. Im just curious if its indicative of anything or not. You can click “forgot your pin or password?” and enter your email. Let me know if it works!

@theoneandonly22 it works for me and I got in via diversity letter

@LondonVall Well I’m hoping its a good sign! But its entirely possible that everyone is able to access this.

When you log in, what’s there? I got this:

Cornell University Decision Notification
Your decision will be viewable on 3/28/2018 at 7 pm

@Winky1 Yea I have that as well. I’m more interested in seeing if everyone can login or just certain people you know?

@Winky1 same. I don’t think that this is any indication. Every applicant will be able to access this because everyone will use this to see their acceptance or rejection

Yes. Didn’t know if you saw something else. Thanks for sharing the link @theoneandonly22

@Winky1 No problem! Thanks for responding!

I didn’t receive a decision notification email from Cornell. How do I log in to view my decision?

@sastronaut decisions arrive Wednesday

does anyone know if the environmental/sustainability sciences major in CALS is as competitive as the agricultural sciences or any of the other majors for that matter?

to anyone who received the diversity hosting email—have any of you gotten your acceptance packages that they said were in the mail yet? or a portal update?
