Does anyone know if Cornell helps finances trips to the University? Because I live like 3000 miles away
Also, Congrats to everyone who got accepted!
Did anyone else receive a GT offer?
Waitlisted to CALS- Is it still possible to get in of the waitlist?
Accepted!!!
Rejected from Brown and Cornell…going to Bentley!
AAYY i got in I guess my 1810 SAT score and 90 GPA was good enough
@APmaster007 HEOP acceptances/rejections were also released today. Cornell doesn’t really differentiate between the acceptances that are HEOP or not. Sorry 
Waitlisted which was somewhat reassuring after 3 rejections within 5 minutes of each other
FREAKING OUT WHERE IS MY DECISION
No better feeling that being accepted to your top school 
why didnt i receive any email?.. maybe this is a bad sign
I think I got rejected but it also says something about a transfer option. Does anyone know what that means?
@Ecinuecity I didn’t get an email either and was accepted. Use the link in the email they sent this morning/a few days ago

Rejected. I cannot lie, I am absolutely devastated. Congratulations to everyone who was accepted… I wish you nothing but the best at such a special university.
------ Copied from previous post:
GPA: 3.897 / 4.000 (un-weighted)
Rank: 15 / 373 (Top 4%)
So… here’s the thing: I graduated high school early back in 2013. I was the first person to graduate early from my high school… and with the extra time, I took a gap year (well… I actually took two gap years, but I’ll get to that later)…
Also, my GPA at graduation was 4.000 unweighted, and I was the valedictorian of my graduating class (but I screwed up a bit in my final semester, which is my rank took a hit).
ACT: 28 Composite (31 English, 29 Math, 23 Reading, 27 Science, 12 Essay)
- I also submitted an AP English Lit/Comp Score (=5), hoping that might compensate for my low ACT-Reading score.
Took 13 AP Courses; AP Scholar with Distinction
Took 3 classes through Harvard University Extension School (12 credits)
- School Volunteer Recognition Award (for over 300 hours served tutoring)
High School ECs
Piano Lessons (Since age 5). Top marks in statewide music competition, guest pianist for local church
Pre Med Club (President/Founder)
Student Council
Mock Trial (Lead Defense Attorney)
Creative Writing Club (Co-President)
Gay/Straight Alliance
National Art Honor Society (Secretary)
Summer Internship at University Hospital, researching glioblastoma and cancer stem cells + helped write a couple of chapters of a new textbook on stem cells & cancer stem cells.
- Started local fundraiser for Oklahoma Tornado Relief (raised about $4,000)
- Created a charity fashion show (designed the show, made the garments, sold tickets, sold the clothes, donated proceeds to a local breast cancer treatment initiative)
Gap Year #1:
For ten months, I volunteered in Tanzania (~10 weeks), Nepal (~12 weeks), India (~6 weeks), and Vietnam (~10 weeks). In Tanzania, I worked in a local hospital and also traveled extensively throughout Tanzania and Kenya, visiting Maasai villages and offering free HIV testing/treatment guidance. In Nepal and India, I taught in various schools (from elementary age to college students) and spent time helping in orphanages. In Vietnam, I worked with an NGO that specializes in low-income education in Hanoi.
By the way… I was able to pay for this trip with funds I inherited from my mother. I didn’t explicitly mention that in my application, however.
Gap Year #2:
So, this might be where my application becomes confusing. After the first gap year, I wanted to pursue another interest of mine before deciding on a college program. I have (or, perhaps more accurately, had) two very different interests: medicine and fashion. During my second gap year, I am working with a fashion designer in New York City. It has been an interesting experience, but I know now that I want to study medicine. I tried to explain this very clearly in my applications, so there wouldn’t be any misunderstanding about what I want to pursue.
I think my essays were pretty decent. My Common App was very personal and talked about the loss of my mother. The college-specific essays talked about my interest in global health, and why Cornell’s program would be perfect for me.
Recommendations were hopefully good, too. All of my references know my very well (including one from my piano instructor, who has known me my whole life)

ACCEPTED LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
So I got rejected, but it says, “Within the next few days you will receive notification from the undergraduate college to which you’ve applied that you are being offered a transfer option. Please contact the college directly if you have any questions.” Did everybody’s look like this about the transfer option?
Does anyone know when financial information will be available?
Does anyone know what it means to be accepted conditionally?
