<p>Hi All! I hope to apply to Cornell-Fall 2010. I’m a History major in a private college in NJ. I am a freshmn & don’t have any grades yet.
My HS GPA was top 10%
track-4yrs, student gvt, etc.
SAT: M=760 E=720 W=700
I want to apply to ILR
I am very impressed by all of you. </p>
<p>I found this link on another site:

<p>california does not dominate in terms of colleges whatsoever… that’s why the ivy league is on the east coast buddy… if you’re talking about stanford/berk/ucla, nah, they’re not even close.</p>
<p>CONGRATS IRONIC. too bad i missed you in ithaca, i got back on thursday night.</p>
<p>valv, don’t give up that easily… i reapplied with well over 100 units my third time. they’ll only let you bring in 60 (which I like because then people won’t be graduating with Cornell degrees having attended for two semesters… it protects the integrity of the degree).</p>
<p>not to discourage all of you hotellies, but from my visit, i am genuinely so glad that i was not accepted to the hotel school the first two times i applied to cornell. one kid told me that he has busted his butt since freshman year and that he’s received one A in his hotel classes (the rest are C’s). he said for example: one of his prof’s arrived to the classroom on the first day and said: if you study all of the book and understand it perfectly, study all of my lecture notes and memorize them, and come to class for the prelim… you will likely get a 70%. the other 30% is your ability to apply facts that you have learned independently about the industry in a creative and innovative way.</p>
<p>Aw, we’re impressive to people. =P</p>
<p>Good luck applying, ginadee, there’s already a thread created for fall Cornell transfers here somewhere. I’ll be monitoring that one closely to see how it all goes down because I definitely want my CC posse there in September. </p>
<p>I agree with calpoly, valvsu, so what if you’re losing a good chunk of credits? It’s Cornell, and it’d be a way better experience to take new and interesting classes in Ithaca rather than be limited to grad requirements and have to graduate within too short of a time span.</p>
<p>Oh neat. I’m the 3rd biggest poster. Off to study for twelve hours so I can attempt acing this chemistry midterm #2 tomorrow. Rawr.</p>
<p>I’ll check back tonight to see if any of the remaining have found out!</p>
<p>To all of those who have been accepted: has your status on the self-service portal changed yet?</p>
<p>How does Cornell review applications?
Do applications (essays, resumes, common app) separated into different colleges, and reviewed under corresponding review commitee from that specific college?
For Example, if I apply to the Hotel School, application review comitee from ILR or CAS won’t be part of the review for my Hotel School application… right?
Or there is a big united application review commitee for all applications lol (which i doubt, for it seems like ILR commitee is finally meeting up this december whereas CALS and Human Ecology are releasing their acceptances)
Just wondering, because I am going to be specific to only one school in my essays, and hopefully there isn’t any bias from members of other skoos.
Experts? Future Cornellians?</p>
<p>hey i have several questions for the hotelies… how was your interview??? and if are in NYC area…who was it? and what kind of questions did they ask you and what did the interviewer say to u at the end of the interview…did he/she mention about rating you at all?? 4/5 or 5/5 …and… how long did the interview last…
the reason im asking is because out of all the people that I know that applied said their interview went well… so im not sure if the interviewer just makes it seem like it went well… because my interviewer told me that she interview many people that she thought were horrible and she gave them a 1 or 2 out of 5…</p>
<p>Nah, they would never do that to us. CALS apps are reviewed by CALS ad-coms, ILR by it’s committee, etc. You only have to address the school you’re applying for, other school’s people won’t be looking at it.</p>
<p>And yeah, it looks like CALS has released all of it’s decisions and CAS should be done/close to done. Ecology is sending out now, probably to be followed by Hotel soon. Then ILR looks like will continue to say they aren’t meeting until after T-giving break.</p>
<p>This is gonna be a weird situation with housing for us.</p>
<p>east, no it has not changed, and i think decisions are ONLY being communicated via snail mail.</p>
<p>CONGRATS IRONIC! I hope this is the beg. of a new trend!</p>
<p>rolemodel: I had Susan Eisma? I think it was. She interviewed me in central jersey area cause that’s where I go to school. I believe she lives in NYC though. My friend interviewed in NYC and it was some asian dude … lol. But none of them mentioned a 4/5 or anything. I think both said that we were strong applicants and such … Maybe your interviewer is just plain mean :(. I have no idea actually. What did you actually say during the interview? What could she have possibly not liked? </p>
<p>I think the hotel school is really big on interpersonal relations and I remember emphasizing that and seeing the woman’s face light up. hahah.</p>
<p>It’s not the end of the world I guess :(.</p>
<p>thanks guys :)</p>
<p>nansungmo, each college has its own admissions officers who read all of the applications, so it’ll be good to write about the school to which you’re applying specifically, because it will show that you really want to be there. </p>
<p>and i think someone mentioned before that when they called the clerks said that they weren’t going to do anything online and that decisions were only coming via snail mail.</p>
<p>Cal Poly, did you really just stay Stanford and Berkeley aren’t even close to the Ivy League? Is Cal Tech also vastly inferior to MIT?</p>
<p>i can’t log into housing. should i call/visit the housing office?</p>
<p>You know, ironic, that Nick kid in the FB group can’t either. I wonder if they’re going through some stuff and sorting new IDs for people. I’m sure we’ll all be able to log into housing and see our selections soon.</p>
<p>Edit: just checked mine, it let’s me log in, but my application is still ‘not complete’ (meaning they haven’t selected a spot for me yet.)</p>
<p>i need to apply slash find out how to submit a doctor’s note</p>
<p>well…then you could call, lol. If you do, maybe ask when housing will be released for those who applied? Lacey said December 1st, so I’m going with that, but hopefully it won’t be later.</p>
<p>okie dokie, i’ll let you know</p>
<p>how do you think it looks on an application to start a company before age 18? Ive been tossing the idea around lately.</p>
<p>Riley, what you just did is called “putting words in someone’s mouth.” I did not say that Stanford, Berkeley, and Cal Tech are “vastly inferior” to Ivy League schools in the least. The colleges you mention are absolutely fantastic institutions, obviously… but if you have tangible research to postulate that California schools “dominate” Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell, I would be curious to read it. Sure, every place has their strong programs, but in terms of global recognition for consistent academic quality, east is the bees knees bro. This is coming from an objective California native going off years of research.</p>
<p>Interestingly, I spent my flight to Ithaca speaking with an MIT professor of 29 years. He went to Caltech for his undergraduate education… and encouraged me to get in touch with him if I am interested in MIT for graduate school (which I may be). Connections are everything, guys and gals.</p>
<p>we arent arguing the east coast vs california. We are arguing state vs state. In this case it was new york. Although, cali is basicly its own coast so it kinda does make sense to comapre it to a whole region. But, yes the east does have far more world class isntitutions. especially in the northeast.</p>
