Your parents are great! You will do great elsewhere. College is just an experience. More so than education. All colleges are over-rated. Just my 2 cents.

Is Cornell one of those schools were it isn’t generous with ED. Like Harvard they basically deferred anyone like about 80 percent but Cornell, only 20 percent gets deferred or something. I’ve been hearing about this a lot but unsure. Is Cornell least friendly in terms of ED

Good luck to all the students. Congratulations to those who got in. For those who didn’t, good luck to you and am sure you’ll find the right one.

Heads up today and forward motion. Only a very small percent get into Ivy. Make it about finding a place where you will thrive daily. Find a place that not only wants you, but CELEBRATES you and all that you can bring to their campus. This was a long shot for everyone who applied lately. It’s an unsettled time in admissions that can’t really be predicted.

Where else did you apply?

I heard from various sources and many friends and they all agree that this year’s ED is horrible in almost every legacy university. For example, an Asian girl who has been the president of a large public high school for 3 out of 4 years, did multiple internships under CA senators, mock trial in Congress, and is powered by stellar GPAs and SAT but got flatly rejected by an Ivy League (not even a deferral).

However talented and unique we think our high-achieving kids are, there are 1,000 just like them.

That is why that kid got rejected by “an” Ivy League. (The most talented kid on the planet is likely to get flatly rejected by at least one, and probably several, Ivy Leagues.)

Yup. Two years ago our Val got rejected by Stanford REA. Went on to be accepted by MIT and Harvard. Not saying that always happens but great students usually end up with good choices — even if it isn’t their #1.

I was referring to ED and there is only one ED. Wish her best luck.

Rejecting Int’l, Cornell Engineering :frowning:

SAT: 1500
GPA: 4.0
Rank: 1
Highest mark in the world, excellence awards, multiple projects with hundreds of users, projects all pointing to sustainability, research paper on novel way to optimize infinite solar flight, LOR from principal (never happened before), first gen, blah blah blah

Not taking it too well, but it’ll work out in the end
