<p>Way to burst my bubble man… :(</p>
<p>In all honesty though, if they accept more people ED, does that indicate they may accept more RD? Maybe or maybe not… This is such a crapshoot, so you never know. Better to hope for the best at this point.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was feeling the same way, then I went back and looked at it a few days ago… only to find 20 things I wish I could change! The feeling kinda sucks but hey that’s life.</p>
<p>We still got a month.</p>
<p>Yup, exactly 4 weeks to go. It’s tough because we have break that week starting Friday 3/29, so we’ll have 2 things to look forward to: break AND decisions. </p>
<p>Is anyone else in tough classes, but just doesn’t feel like studying for them? It’s not senioritis at this point I don’t think… I’m pretty sure it’s the uncertainty. I mean, whenever I imagine a room full of admissions counselors debating specific points in my application, suddenly the equilibrium concentration of OH- just seems meaningless.</p>
<p>March is going to be REEEAAALLY long…</p>
<p>I have a really bad case of senioritis. ): I already started out this semester with some failing grades.</p>
<p>I can imagine seeing big bold letters that says “rejected” on the portal on the 28th. Oh boy! Can’t wait.</p>
<p>Haha glad to see that im not alone. I keep looking at the date and get frustrated when I see that it does not say March 28^-^ Cornell is my #1 choice since they contacted me almost a year ago. <em>sigh</em> I hope financial aid does not decrease, because I cannot afford Cornell without aid. (less than $20,000 income) I applied to CALS. Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>omg me too! I think we have similiar problems. 
But yeah for us, we automatically qualify for full rides if we get in even if financial aid changes.</p>
<p>Omg we’re all low income. 
</p>
<p>@Angelus292: Are you a NYS resident? if so, did you apply EOP for CALS?</p>
<p>@lilmelonred: No, I am from a rural area in Tennessee^-^</p>
<p>hey guysss, i heard yesterday somebody from my school was contacted and asked if she wants to be considered for h/eop…does it mean anything though? i mean, does that suggest that she is probably inadmissible but admission officers wanna consider her for h/eop so that she might get in?</p>
<p>Even if s/he gets evaluated for H/EOP, it’s still very competitive in that s/he might or might not get in for H/EOP.</p>
<p>And yeah that’s probably why they called him or her and asked if want to be considered for that program.</p>
<p>I figure that being contacted for the H/EOP is a good sign, even if its going to be competitive. I know I’ve been contacted by the financial aid office twice in 2 weeks.^-^ The first was justa letter in the mail (just deadlines and stuff) But on 3/27 they sent me a reminder again in a email and even asked for the Complete the Financial Aid Application Certification, which scared me till I figured out it wasnt due till June 15.XD</p>
<p>Financial aid application certification? I was never notified about that… Where do you complete the app? online?</p>
<p>The financial aid application certification is a part of your financial aid materials. You can download it from Cornell’s financial aid page. However, it is not due till June 15.</p>
<p>Financial aid will only be different if you make between 60k and 120k I believe.</p>
<p>From their website:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So they’ll be giving a couple thousand more in loans to students between $60000 and $120000. An internet search tells me that’s between the 49.4 percentile and 80.8 percentile of US family incomes, so it theoretically impacts ~30% of people (though I’m sure Cornell’s average family income is much higher than the nation’s). Will this affect the yield rate? Not substantially I don’t think (but at least little bit), unless they increase EFCs too.
But I think they will have to take a few people from the waitlist because of lower yield. We’ll have to wait and see I guess.</p>

<p>If I get in, I wonder if i’ll be any different in that my family makes under 10,000 a year… I feel like people who go to these top universities all have some kind of money.</p>
<p>^Same. </p>
<p>I wonder that for college in general. How will I adjust?</p>
<p>Yeah! Gotta go shopping for some preppy clothes then. ): lolol.</p>
<p>That moment when one of the Goodwills in my area carries uber name brand things.
Too perf. </p>
<p>We’ll need some Sperrys, lolol.</p>
