Applying for fall of 2010 Cornell

<p>But why haven’t I received anything?</p>

<p>I just finished my bio midterm today which was a huge deal, since it has been distracting me for 2 weeks. But it was kind of the last thing keeping my mind of Cornell. Now that 2 decisions have been released, I know they can come out and now I am not majorly distracted by school until May and I am really ANXIOUS and nervousssssssssss.</p>

<p>I do my best to try to not worry about it, but I love this school SO much that I can’t think of anything else!</p>

<p>anyone else share my feelings, or am I weirdo</p>

<p>@Castiel: nope, i am right there with you. im so anxious and cannot stop thinking about it. literally all day i am thinking about cornell on some level, especially when im trying to fall asleep or its the first thing i think of when i wake up.</p>

<p>@Hateforbloom1: im confused, your cc account is going to be banned? why?</p>

<p>@ Castiel</p>

<p>I think we all love Cornell and that’s the reason we applied =P</p>

<p>you kno, sometimes I think we love Cornell more than the Cornellians themselves … cuz Ive seen MANY Cornelians who hate Cornell… weird if u ask me!</p>

<p>@ Castiel
same here…but i have those feelings for berkeley too)</p>

<p>@Castiel and Hyperlite</p>

<p>I’m the same way. It seems to be the only thing on my mind these days, and I’m always looking forward to getting back to my laptop to check my self service and this thread. I’m pretty sure my boyfriend/friends/and family members are all terribly sick of hearing me weigh the pros and cons of my application, go back and forth over how I’ll get in for sure/ don’t have a shot in hell, and the “okay, you pretend to be the admissions officer” game.</p>

<p>And just when it seems I’ve managed to stop obsessing over Cornell for the moment, I see a Cornell bumper sticker driving home from class or a flash of a red and white Cornell sweatshirt on someone walking past me. </p>

<p>I just can’t wait for decisions to be in, so I can either jump for joy or start preparing to apply for Spring.</p>

<p>I’ve found that not thinking has helped the most. I don’t think about what i didn’t say during my interview, and i definitely don’t think about my essays. I haven’t looked at my application or essays since i’ve applied.</p>

<p>I just go about thinking that i WILL get in. The thought of rejection hasn’t even crossed my mind. I think the what-if game is the worst part. It’s pretty surreal to think that in about 2 weeks we’ll be getting our letters. Let’s just hope its good news.</p>

<p>@Hateforbloom1: i didnt know anyone who was banned on this thread…so thats why i asked, but i am relativly new to this forum/thread so maybe i missed something</p>

<p>@shred4life: omg i do the exact same thing. i am constantly flipping between im sure ill get in and of course im going to rejected, how could i possibly think im cornell material lol. im sure everyone around me is annoyed.</p>

<p>this is my only shot (i think) b/c i will be a fall jr. trans. i dont think jrs. can transfer spring, can they? i dont think i wouldn’t complete the 60 credits at cornell unless i get in this fall :(</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>LOL. I haven’t played that yet. I’m with everyone else in that literally all I seem to think about is whether or not I’ll get in. I’m bordering on obsessive … I mean I actually get butterflies & feel nervous. </p>

<p>I haven’t told anybody but my mom - and only because she was filling out the FAFSA and CSS profiles - about where I applied though. If I don’t get in, I don’t want them to know…its the perfectionist in me.</p>

<p>@MojaveMocha: I know right. I feel the same way. If you get rejected you don’t want anybody to know. I figure if I get rejected, I’m going to work harder than ever to the school I did get accepted to and go to an IVY league for Grad school. If I make into Cornell this fall, I’ll feel like I made it to the top of the mountain.</p>

<p>@imhappy</p>

<p>I feel pretty much the same. Except that I’m going to work harder at the school I got accepted to BECAUSE they accepted me and I feel as if I owe it to them to give them my all, even though I tried leaving them.</p>

<p>As weird as it sounds, I love Cornell but like that girlfriend you haven’t seen in like 8 months, your love starts to wane over time.</p>

<p>And the fact that I just compared Cornell to a girlfriend means I have a problem. I’ve been in the library for 7 hours and my new best friend is a paper puppet I made - so Cornell may indeed be the least of my problems.</p>

<p>Just kidding.</p>

<p>Good luck guys! Especially people applying to the college of engineering. It seems like just yesterday that I applied. Expect a long wait for decisions though. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go because the fin aid was just too small, so if you are an international student take that into consideration. Again, good luck to the engineers here. :p</p>

<p>This wait is killing me, I’m not going to be able to sleep for the next week!
Anyone want to play monopoly to kill the time? :)</p>

<p>^sure if your serious, pm me</p>

<p>^not sure how we can play but im in :)</p>

<p>^im soo in</p>

<p>dang it i got no PM’s. Anyone want to play yahoo chess with me?</p>

<p>So, I got a letter from Cornell and it was a SMALL letter, then for some reason RileyJohn came to my mind and I thought of the joy that it would bring him :slight_smile: but no, NOT yet, not EVER…hopefully…it was a dumb letter saying I am missing a transcript that I already sent in. Not to mention that I was so nervous when I called the admissions office that I misspelled my own last name! haha they were super nice though.</p>

<p>Hey Ironically- do you know about the number of people who were accepted to Human Ecology out of the 170 that applied? I am obsessing with numbers, I know :)</p>

<p>It seems like the admissions office lost a lot of stuff ><</p>

<p>They were unable to locate my college transcript as well so I had to have my college send it again also! Ugh this whole process is soo stressful!</p>
