<p>are the state parts of cornell harder to get into for new yorkers? my guess is there is more competition cuz nyers are after the ivy league status, and suny price. i got deferred ED and i seriously was expecting to get in…so i just dont know. it makes no sense to me cuz i got into notre dame early action. why are colleges so weird</p>
<p>exactly, you dont know 100% sure for college admissions…
wait*</p>
<p>Agreed. I mean ur probably right about the NY thing, but if u think ur right for the college and the college is right for u just have faith that ull get in RD. Best of luck!</p>
<p>I would not call it random…I do believe a perception of a low selectivity of state funded cornell colleges exists, and that that, along with the $$ benifit gets a whole lot of ppl to apply.</p>
<p>If you dont have money and want to major in something a college at cornell is not known for, don’t apply to the cornell college; apply to some other state school.</p>
<p>wait how did you apply ED to cornell and EA to Notre Dame?</p>
<p>EA is non binding. if he got in ED to cornell he’d have to go and ND legally cant do anything if he chooses not to go there.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>maybe you had the wrong attitude, then.</p>
<p>but in your ED contract you agree not to apply early to any other schools and only file RD apps, right? Thats how it was for Princeton, i assumed the same was true everywhere</p>
<p>you’re allowed to apply early action to other schools but if u get accepted early decision, then u must go. maybe princeton is special.</p>
<p>No I remember reading the same thing for Brown</p>
<p>
this is probably the dumbest thing i’ve heard on CC. how do you say new yorkers are after the ivy league status? i for one, am looking for a school that can provide me with a great education and will make for a very good college experience. if someone wanted knew they wanted to study business for example, then they would apply to the AEM major within cornell. sure, nyers pay less than ‘ivy league’ prices within that college but they also pay over 10K more than suny prices. basically, i think you should speak for yourself and not the entire state. </p>
<p>just out of curiousity, what are your stats? how were you “seriously expecting to get in.” you cannot expect to get into any ivy league, or any top 20 school for that matter b/c admissions is very selective/mysterious nowadays.</p>
<p>I’m sure that people are after the ivy league status with the SUNY price.</p>
<p>Applicants need to read each school’s statement of its own ED policy. I believe that Brown has a more restrictive statement than Cornell’s, so it may be that an ED applicant to Brown cannot apply EA elsewhere. Cornell doesn’t have that restrictive an ED policy. You just agree not to apply early decision (which is binding) at the same time as you apply ED to Cornell. But you are free to apply EA to other schools (as long as the other school’s policy doesn’t set limits on its EA applicants).</p>
<p>I can’t believe you thought you’d definitely get in; your stats are good, but not amazing. Mine were better and I didn’t go around acting like I’d get in. Kids in my school with better stats than you were deferred/rejected.</p>
<p>“then they should’ve gotten in”</p>
<p>You’re irrational. A 2090 is by no means guarantees you a spot at Cornell. Sure you have good ECs, but they’re not phenomenal. Obviously you shouldn’t have been accepted, since you weren’t. Maybe you will get in RD, but stop acting like Cornell made some sort of mistake in not accepting you or other people with similar stats.</p>
<p>“i didnt think i’d get into notre dame but i applied for the hell of it and got a big envelope the same day i got the little envelope from cornell. so that proves that colleges are unpredictable. and i will probably be in alot of debt after 4 yrs.”</p>
<p>Curious why you thought it would be easier for you to get into Cornell. I think you had your standaing for admission crossed. You had a decent chance at Notre Dame and an average shot at Cornell… and that’s pretty much what panned out when you got your decisions.</p>
<p>In my opinion, your lack of admission to Cornell had little to do with your NY status and more to do with you being average in terms of Cornell’s applicants. If you look at the ED acceptance topic here on CC you’ll see many in your range receiving the same thin envelope. Yeah, some people below you in terms of stats got in, but some people above you didn’t get in either. It’s tough to accept, but I think if your stats turn out to be above average in the overall applicant poll you’ll get the fat envelope later on.</p>
<p>Whoa, please chill everyone. Question about ED/EA rules. Someone told me yesterday that his son was deferred from Brown but admitted to Cornell. How is it possible that this kid has received decisions from both schools already? Wouldn’t that mean he applied ED to both? Or has Cornell already admitted people under RD? I’d really like to know whether he scammed the system.</p>
<p>That doesn’t sound right to me – being deferred from Brown but accepted to Cornell already. Unless Cornell has different rules for some of its smaller colleges, such as rolling admissions?</p>
<p>i know they have rolling for CALS and a couple others but CALS notification doesnt start until feb.</p>
<p>for some reason i think athletes found out about admission earlier that the average applicant. i don’t know if that’s true or not but that could be a possible explanation.</p>
