@mikesauce lmao crap ur amazing

I AM SO NERVOUS GUYS OMG

OMG, I just checked my inbox. I guess tomorrow is the day.

@calvinwong did you get an official email from Cornell?

@tiramisu2 one can only hope that rejection is a myth lol. Only way to find out is to wait. Let’s hope it is a myth

@calvinwong best of luck! When was your application sent for review?

damn decision tomorrow at 10 am for college of engineering :[

@bvo112 don’t worry, you have company haha

@NjTransfer2016 No, I did not receive an email. I checked the link again and I was able to get my PIN and set my password. So, if you do not receive an email, try to do so.

@hp2trnsfr Around three weeks ago! Best of luck!

Yea guys I dont think that tomorrow is completely rejection week so don’t give up hope!

why people don’t think it is rejection day tomorrow

I think there is no rejection date. It’s rolling based system, guys! It was fortunate that many applicants got rejections on April 21st! Good luck guys :slight_smile:

Mikesauce was originally set to be accepted tomorrow but the admissions office did not have enough time to put him int he roster for tomorrow apparently so I think it’s a myth.
