<p>@Connor2019 I would guess higher than the schools average </p>
<p>Edit: if Cornell received less applicants for 2019 do you think they will have a higher acceptance rate or just take less students? Schools care about rank so they want it to be more “exclusive” and I don’t know the last time acceptance rates have gone up.</p>
<p>@cornell19 Haha I’m debating on skipping school to celebrate… I don’t even know if I’ll be able to sleep that night if I get accepted. </p>
<p>@BroomOfThought yep! That app was an absolute pain in the butt. I wasn’t going to apply to SHC, but my cousin called the day before the deadline and convinced me to. Took me like 4.5 hrs total</p>
<p>sorry, I’m not trying to be pessimistic but the more you keep on talking about how happy you will feel when ur accepted, the more hurt you’ll be if u don’t get in/are deferred. :// just keep a clear mind and expect the worst</p>
<p>(E) lol just realized how ironic my username is tho LOL</p>
<p>@AcceptmeED exactly. Guys/Gals, we are applying to an Ivy League school! Now, I understand that most CC’ers are very high achievers but be realistic, the best chance you really have is 50/50. You may get accepted, but you may not. Don’t get too hyped about either. </p>
<p>On that melancholy note, I was away for 4 hrs and missed 3 pages of this chat. Wut…</p>
<p>@BPearlman97 Ugh yeah I know it had wayyyy too many essay questions…</p>
<p>@AcceptmeED nah it’ll just make it all the better if accepted, and I think I have a pretty decent shot. Anyways if denied honestly who cares that much. There’s still plenty of other great schools to attend. We’re smart enough not be sad and hurt by things in the past we can’t change. Hope for the best, expect the best, and if you don’t get that, you’ll still have plenty more fabulous options.</p>
<p>Edit: @airspirit definitely not. I’ve often wondered myself, if accepted what will be worse: the lack of sleep from being anxious before decisions come out, or the lack of sleep from excitement if accepted.</p>
<p>@Cornell19 A lot of other people truly do not understand the magnitude of rejection until they actually are rejected. Being smart doesn’t mean you’re prepared to face rejection. I dont’ know wher eu got that from. And I have barely heard anyone saying to hope for the best and expect for the best. I don’t see how that’s helpful to someone if they don’t get in… It’ll make them feel worse because they put more emotion into the school and will be taken by surprise when they don’t get in?</p>
<p>(E) not emotion, that’s not the right word. but more confidence</p>
<p>@Cornell19 good question. I think you said it tho, about not knowing when the last time acceptance rates have gone up. Unfortunately we’re applying to college now and not 10 years ago… And personally I think that the general annual increase of applicants will counteract the extra days people had to apply last year.<br>
But this whole admissions process baffles me haha </p>
<p>@AcceptmeED By expect for the best I meant have some confidence in yourself. You’ll never make it very far if you always sell yourself short. And I’m sure all of you guys have failed before in your life. As long as you gave it your best effort, everything else is outside of your control and not worth getting caught up about. I would only be sad about a rejection if I knew I could have written my essay better etc.</p>
<p>@hotelieatheart where did you get that number from? 9?</p>
<p>I think everyone is falling into the trap of believing/dreaming of the possibility that they’re getting in. It’s completely natural. Either way, disappointment will always be there if rejected. In that case, might as well enjoy these last few days of excitement. </p>
<p>I wish I could erase all of my memories of Cornell… so then I wont feel bad if I don’t get in. But if I do get in, then I’ll investigate this school that I apparently have no choice but to attend, because of ED. And the best part is, I’ll get to discover how much I love the college all over again. -and yes, that was inspired by The Vow.</p>
<p>I have a fantastic college counselor that said this to me tonight: “Assume you’re getting denied and you won’t lose any sleep over a rejection.” Now, that is pessimistic, sure. But, unless you’re someone who’s really believes that not thinking positive thoughts will effect the outcome, then setting yourself up for failure and being elated with an acceptance is definitely the better way to go about this. </p>

<p>change the settings to your school (mine is hotel), then first time freshman, then the year 2014…then over the words “ethnicity group” in the table if you hover your mouse it will have a plus. click it and it will give you a brake down of ethnicity of who got in by gender and ethnicity…thats how i got only 9 asian male students accepted to the hotel school. thats the most they have had in a while</p>
<p>correction to earlier post: only 9 asian male students enrolled…but that makes me think a lot of asian males must not have gotten accepted in the first place. </p>
<p>only 1 asian male went to the ILR school last year…ONLY ONE! makes me think they must not admit too many asian males because it makes sense that at least more than a single asian male would actually enroll, right</p>
<p>@hotelieatheart whaat only 1 Asian male went to ILR?? that can’t be right… There are about 900 undergraduates at ILR</p>
<p>okay that can be a good thing or a bad thing. it can be good because asians are obviously a minority in this school, so they might want more. it can also be a bad thing if cornell is setting a quota on asians.</p>
<p>look at the data yourself man…sure we dont knwo how many asian males were accepted but only 1 actually enrolled in 2014…that number is a hard FACT. Because only one asian male enrolled it makes me think very few must have been admitted because it more were admitted than a person could reasonably expect more than just ONE asian male to enroll…click ILR for colleges, then first time freshman only, then hover the bold words ethnicity group…click the plus and it will brake it up by gender. look at males and then asian…you will see one

<p>i try to be as accurate as possible with my posts, always getting my numbers and data from reliable sources. </p>
<p>@hotelieatheart sorry I didn’t mean I didn’t believe you personally! I just mean that’s really surprising… do you think that there are just a lot of people who choose not to check off an ethnicity? I’m pretty sure I didn’t. I completely remember that I didn’t for the UC app cause that was just last week and they said that it would only be used for statistical purposes. I’m just trying to figure out a reason for the statistic you raise… How could there have only been one! </p>
