<p>Hmm, are you two still at each other’s throats now?
I am not trying to intrude nor am I trying to impose anything, but what I see here is a game of Let’s-See-Who-Gets-The-Last-Word-In. Please do forgive me if I’m wrong but that is my honest opinion. I understand if you’re at dissent at what the other says, but going back and forth will not fix the situation nor will it change his/her opinion. In short, such efforts would just be futile.</p>
<p>I hope you both realize that if you don’t let what the other says go, then this entire thread will be full of simply THIS. Namely, long posts directed at each other, like a battle between two adversaries. </p>
<p>Anywho, let me attempt to assist us in terms of steering back on topic here.
I’m curious; I’d like to get an idea as to where everyone else is applying. Any other future CAS appliers? If so, tell me how you feel about it, what your degree of confidence is, and whatever else you’d like to share.
I don’t know about any of you…but I know that I am one hell of a wreck right now.
Funny thing is, we haven’t even hit summer yet.
I can’t imagine how things will be once September rolls around.
Lovely, isn’t it.</p>
<p>Hey all. I intend on applying to CAS ED for a hard science major, with perhaps a minor in applied math. I feel alright about applying thus far. I’ll probably–definitely–get more nervous as the application deadline approaches. I want Cornell so badly; I just hope Cornell wants me. </p>
<p>I’m also just going to say, Ivy has stats that won’t get him in, but rather won’t affect the decision really. The adcoms will look at the scores and be like, “alright, he’s fine in this department”. If he has other convincing components of his application, along with his triple legacy and ED components (at Cornell applying ED as a legacy maximizes the effect legacy status has on the adcoms), then I think his chances are strong. Don’t get me wrong, I am biased in this opinion, because I too am a legacy, but I’m quite sure that’s how it works (if you’re a legacy they spend much more time reading your application, etc.).</p>
<p>Jersey- Go ahead and judge my arguments. Luckily, I don’t care in any way whatsoever for what you have to say. But thanks for the comment anyway, I’m glad you think I am adept at “ad hominem” attacks–because rather than proving them wrong, you have stayed silent. Hmm, I wonder why… maybe because they’re all true. You seem to think that they don’t strengthen my argument but I beg to differ. They reveal you to be a pathetic and sad excuse for a person, who has nothing better to do with his time than think of ways to look impressive on some internet forum. What is even more sad to me is that you have now failed to disprove the entire point I am arguing: my chances of getting into Cornell are good. Chendrix is not the only person who has agreed with me, several other people have (e.g. buddyD), and if you actually knew what being a legacy was like, and had close familial ties with Cornell your entire life, maybe you would understand why it is an advantage and why they are more inclined to accept me. I am not applying to Cornell just to “get another acceptance under my belt” (which is what I strongly suspect you are doing), I am applying because I love it and would like nothing more than to attend–it is by far my top choice out of all the colleges in the world. Also, if you honestly think that being in the top 5% of my class and having 2100+ SATs isn’t good, you’re delusional. I am sorry, but the entire population of people who attend Ivy league schools cannot be 2400ers and valedictorians. And it shouldn’t be either. Success is determined by far more than just numbers. I hope that eventually, one day, you will realize that. </p>
<p>I am done arguing now, I am sorry for the interruptions, but I felt what Jersey said was completely unjustifed.</p>
<p>Perhaps you missed my previous post in which I asked you to PM me if you wished to continue the argument. I can think of no other reason for you to ignore such a request other than to
<p>I’m kinda excited to apply and find out December. It’s literally this year… And I think I have average chances, idk. I guess we’ll find out 12/15 3PM.</p>
<p>Why, hello there, all of my future competitors.
Ahaha, don’t I sound a tad bit creepy? Now, if only you’d overlook that…</p>
<p>With all creepiness aside, how are you, future applicants, faring these last few months before college applications? Are you all as stressed out as I am? Right now, I feel as if I’m in a battle against time.</p>
<p>Uh-oh. I’m already starting to feel trepidation of what is to come. </p>
<p>Due to my immense curiosity, let me apologize in advance if my questions ever come off as irritating. However, I can’t say that I’m ashamed to admit that I actually find solace in the mutual apprehensions and dilemmas that many of us face. It’s good to know that I’m “never the only one” feeling a certain way.</p>
<p>Actually, since the end of AP testing, I’ve felt incredibly relaxed. The anxiety/apprehension of the college admissions process will come soon enough.</p>
<p>hmm does anyone know how competitive admission into the apparel management & marketing program at the college of human ecology is?
obviously it’s not easy, but does anyone have an idea how difficult it is compared to CAS, etc…?</p>
<p>The Fiber Science/ Apparel Design department is pretty competitive. They only accept about 23 kids across all 3 majors (apparel design, fiber science, and apparel management). If your interested in the program, I would suggest contacting some of the professors. They will be happy to discuss the program with you and help you decide if it’s a good fit.</p>
<p>ED CAS for economics. I’m crazy stressed. What I want to know is if there are more kids (i.e. more children born the same year we were) in the class of 2015 (high school class of 2011). Does anyone know? I tried looking up the statistic via US census but I couldn’t find out.</p>
<p>I’ll be applying for CoE, and I’m pretty confident in my chances of getting accepted Cornell isn’t my top choice, but I’m only applying to 5 or 6 schools.</p>
Cornell isn’t my top choice, but I’m only applying to 5 or 6 schools.</p>
