<p>wait you got accepted to cornell???
i applied and i didnt get any notice…
do i need to log on somewhere or something???</p>
<p>i applied to agriculture and life sciences</p>
<p>seriously, i dont see a better choice for anything!</p>
<p>it has economics, business, environmental studies, environmental engineer (my number 1 right now), and just everything the school of arts and sciences should have</p>
<p>i applied to CAS.
for the people who have gotten in, is it standard to get that early or just for ED?
thanks</p>
<p>yeah, ur good , all the schools except engineering and AS say in march, those say in april</p>
<p>Can any of the finalist PLEASE check your phone status and give us “naive hopefuls” some…hope?</p>
<p>dubblyu91, what is a phone status?
I can check mine for you if i know what it is lol</p>
<p>Hey, bobslove. I would have to disagree on the financial aid issue. </p>
<p>With an efc of 0, ivies and the top 20ish schools are actually the only hope. Since most have financial aid initiaves which help needy students, many times up to full tuition <em>no loans</em>. </p>
<p>This is what I’m banking on. If I got into a school with such policy, ultimately the Gates thing will be pretty useless. Since they meet unmet need. Sadly, Ivies and such typically provide all your need.</p>
<p>So chill rofl, cause Cornell will give you what you need, if not Duke also.</p>
<p>it’s the gms number 1877-690-4677. it’ll ask current nominees to check their status. you punch in your social security and birth date and it’ll tell you what’s up.</p>
<p>I am getting really anxious about knowing what a finalist’s message will say. I really hope this isn’t the end. I hope that was just the first wave of finalists. When you think about it, it most likely is. They have a lot of people to notify and all…</p>
<p>Ok, so after scouring last year’s threads once again, I discovered that some finalists were indeed notified up to one week after everyone else was, by MAIL. Then again, rejection letters started coming out a few days later. =( I’m already convinced that I lost, so I don’t think it can get any worse. (At least I hope it doesn’t) Best of luck to everybody who is still waiting on a decision and CONGRATS to everyone who was named finalist!!</p>
<p>I’m a finalist, I called and got the same message about how I will receive notice in the mail within the next week.</p>
<p>hey bobslob i also got into Cornell but I applied to the ILR program so we hear early just like the arts/sciences school so don’t worry…you should hear by April 1st. </p>
<p>Man *** I havn’t heard anything from Gates, and I am starting to freak out! I am Hispanic, and two of my friends have already heard, but I have not gotten anything!! Does anyone know if they are still sending notifications???</p>
<p>Also, roflcoptersoi you got into Duke? Did you apply to a specific school or Trinity?</p>
<p>^That gives me hope. Thanks! I think I can stop having an emotional breakdown now.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you!</p>
<p>I wonder if you call and it says ur stuff is coming in the mail if your a finalist or is it an automated message? But then why would they ask for your social and dob?</p>
<p>lol…yeah when I got the Cornell letter in the mail I was like *** I thought I was suppose to hear back from them in April…</p>
<p>God bless the postal service!!</p>
<p>did everyone submit your FAFSA by FEB 1st, cuz that was the requirement.</p>
<p>^Surely did. Estimated numbers on January 1 and corrections sometime mid-January.</p>
<p>OMG
i just called gms->social security->dob-> message</p>
<p>the message to me said</p>
<p>“a letter has been sent about your nomination status. please allow one week to receive your notification. if you have not received your notification by then, please call back…etc.”</p>
<p>the message DID NOT mention the word finalist at all.</p>
<p>WHat does this mean!!!
Break me the good or bad news!
Im up for anything!
:P</p>
