<p>I really don't want to release this information on this forum as it would be really, really easy to figure out my identity. I probably will after all this college process thing is done though. Sorry for the paranoia :(.</p>

10

<p>ummm, you're guaranteed to get in</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback. I really hope thats right. I can definitely picture myself at Cornell and I am hearing great things about the curriculum at ILR, so I would attend without a question. </p>

<p>BTW> When do we start hearing from ILR? I saw that they post their decision on a rolling basis starting from February. I mean it would be amazing to get a decision (hopefully a really good one!) in March or so. </p>

<p>Appreciate any more feedback or comments.</p>

<p>" tried to show the fact that I researched the school in my essay"</p>

<p>That's key with ILR. You sound pretty solid because you are the type of student that will makes ILR an interesting place to learn.</p>

13

<p>Thank you. I showed my essay to a few people and all of them said that it showed a lot of interest. So hopefully they like it. I also sent in a detailed activity sheet to ILR so they know what each of my activity entails.</p>

<p>Any more feedback?</p>

<p>bumping it....</p>

<p>Quick Q> Should I call up ILR to find out whether they received my activity sheet? I sent it directly to the ILR admissions department (it was posted on their "Admissions Requirement" table online) but not to the Cornell App Processing Center. </p>

<p>Also any feedback about chances would be appreciated.</p>
