<p>Any effort by the admissions committe to request additional information about the applicant is positive in my eyes. It shows me that they are interested, whether it results in an acceptance is another story. Again, I remain positive. Time will tell, seven days to go.</p>

<p>On a side note: his gpa is 3.8 unweighted. SAT cr/m 1440. His grades have been high all through hs while taking the most rigorous courseload available. He is also a minority interested in engineering(math sat 1 770, math subj math 1 730, math II 780). I know he is my son, but he seems like a solid canididate. I realize all ivies are reaches. Just hoping for the best…</p>

582

<p>smile your son looks like a solid candidate, which school did he apply to? (I’m sure you have previously posted this) good luck!</p>

583

<p>I sort of thought we might get our ID today, but I guess not.</p>

584

<p>I think last year they sent the pin two days before the decision was released. I would guess next tuesday</p>

585

<p>oh yea sorry I’m a permanent resident, same as yellowsnowman</p>

586

<p>Less that one week is left until decisions are reached! How are you all holding up under the pressure? I, for one, am excessively nervous.</p>

587

<p>I’m not nervous yet. Next Wednesday, however, i will be ******** bricks.</p>

588

<p>OMG I WAS ACCEPTED! SO HAPPY GUYS! </p>

<p>jk i wishhhhhhhh. I’m actually more pumped to find out than nervous, how about you guys? Less than a week :o</p>

589

<p>Guys, guess what, check your self service accounts:</p>

<p>hey ED peeps, u might want to see this:
[Early</a> Applications Decrease For First Time Since 2003 | The Cornell Daily Sun](<a href=“http://cornellsun.com/section/news/content/2010/12/03/early-applications-decrease-first-time-2003]Early”>http://cornellsun.com/section/news/content/2010/12/03/early-applications-decrease-first-time-2003)</p>

<p>basically it says that the number of ED applicants this year drops around 4% as compared to last year’s… what do u guys think?</p>

591

<p>AHHHHHH!!! Heavenly for us, more chances :D</p>

592

<p>^I kinda agree, but they can admit fewer people from ED and accept more during RD… (though i hope not) (:</p>

593

<p>I think it is very good and should increase our chances slightly. If you look at the ED admits over the last few years the number is fairly constant. The rate has dropped each of the last few years hopefully this year the ED admit rate will go up. Good luck to all just 6 days away!</p>

594

<p>Cannot wait for our log in info e-mails!!! xD</p>

595

<p>Thank the lord! I hope this means more of us can get in! I sure hope I do :slight_smile: Heh</p>

596

<p>At least it did not increase like some of the other top tier schools :)</p>

597

<p>6 more days!
I’m so excited and scared.
best luck to all!</p>

598

<p>so i read that people have been requested to send first quarter grades?
i was just wondering if this was usually a good thing or not if any other students that got accepted in previous years have experience with this, but as far as i know, i dont think i was requested to send grades.</p>

599

<p>apply for Cornell of engineering, I’m so nervous now~~~</p>

600

<p>Yeah, I’m curious about xshindp’s question as well. I’m guessing that if you are on the fence, then they will request quarter grades. If you have been accepted or rejected, then they won’t request the first quarter grades. Good God, I hope the days pass by a bit more quickly…</p>
