<p>Wow...if something as petty as this gets you up set, you guys are in for a rude awakening when you get to Cornell and have two tests, two papers, a presentation, and a project due all in the same week, requiring you to stay in the library until 5:30am and having professors tell you that having this amount of work is not a valid reason for an extension on that paper. Deal with it...</p>
<p>where on the cornell website does it say that the deadline has been extended?</p>
<p>dude there are like 50 millions threads on this, why don't u look at one, the link's been posted about 5000000000000 times</p>
<p>huh? where on the cornell site does it say that the deadline has been extended?</p>
<p>They should extend the deadline, but give preference to people that got them in on time.</p>
<p>phlogistonfreak, that's only fair.</p>
<p>we should write to them and request that :P</p>
<p>this is totally unfair.... i could have spent more time improving essays.sdfasdfsd</p>
<p>It's not unfair at all. The note was already posted there a long time ago.</p>
<p>No it wasn't. Anyway, i agree the only people who should benefit from this should be people who missed out on the deadlines due to extreme circumstances( Tsunami victim, accident etc.) Not the procrastinators bah!!</p>
<p>atleast you turned it in, now u don't have to worry about it</p>
<p>Stop whining. If you knew the deadline was 9 days later, you would have waited until the last minute anyways. You would be awake at 11:54 PM on January 9th, editing your essay, complaining about how you didn't have enough time.</p>
<p>Just be glad that your application is done and you don't have to worry about it anymore.</p>
<p>I am whining?</p>
<p>Guys, they spend like 2 min. reading the essays. The little minute corrections you might have made will have no bearing on your decision. This isn't a big deal.</p>
<p>This has nothing to do with the deadline extension but don't you guys tink that the post office is like other essential services like police, fire department, etc and should be open 7 days a week, regardless of holidays, etc. but not necessarily 24 hours though.</p>
<p>My post office is actually open seven days a week. If I mail something on Sunday, it won't get processed until Monday, but it is still convenient for them to be open.</p>
<p>Post office workers need holidays too</p>
<p>"It's not unfair at all. The note was already posted there a long time ago."</p>
<p>choeh912 , what have you been smoking?</p>
<p>Of course this is unfair... what kind of school announces an extension in the last minute? it must have been that they didnt get enough apps this year...</p>
<p>Nobody says that postal workers have to work all week, that'd be crazy plus I bet mail would mysteriously get lost. But just have shifts where people work 5 days, except it rotates or something. Just imagine, mail that travels on weekends, that'd be a dream come true.</p>
<p>Oh please. I really hope these online personas don't truly represent the people behind them.</p>
<p>"OMG, they extended the deadline, I want first dibs MEMEME!" Who the hell cares? You wouldn't be complaining if you had done it way ahead of time, like any person who truly cared about their OWN college admissions, instead of other people's. Me, I had it in middle of December. Don't hear me complaining, do you? That's because IT DOESN'T MATTER. The amount of people who don't apply because of deadlines is negligible. Get over yourselves.</p>
