<p>Does anyone know if Cornell consider social-economic diversity?</p>
<p>This odd or even minute is BS, check the past threads this kinda stuff filled up the threads before the decision date and in the end it was… BS!</p>
<p>i am female that applied to college of engineering, and received a likely letter. I got my email at 3:00 pm.</p>
<p>@lil
I think so! Same with many top schools that are need blind and have great aid… Matter of fact, I think my super low ses helped me!
<em>^▁^</em></p>
<p>Have any of you RDers been able to log into housing?</p>
<p>I got a likely letter a couple of weeks ago</p>
<p>and i got my email on the 21st</p>
<p>@alexiss: Really? But wait. How do they know your financial status if the FA office is different from the admissions?</p>
<p>@lilmelonred @alexissss Cornell Admissions and Cornell Financial Aids operate independently. Social-economic diversity is not considered in Cornell Admissions. I know this because couple of years ago, they accidentally gave financial aid for rejected applicants. Comes to show how unbiased Cornell is when it comes to financial aids…</p>
<p>To be simple: Being rich may get you into Cornell, but being poor will not stop you from getting into Cornell.</p>
<p>Wellll, I actually made my ses known in my app so…</p>
<p>@alexissss yeah, unless you make clear indications in your app for consideration, they don’t consider socio-economic status</p>
<p>Oh wells at least i’m a NY resident and applied through EOP so that will explain how poor I am.</p>
<p>The fact itself that you are poor will in no way hurt your application. Also, you probably were more disadvantaged than other applicants academically, and Cornell will consider that situation.</p>
<p>I have a feeling they might not take academically disadvantage into consideration since everyone who applied has high stats. But yeah I really hope they take correlation between income and academically disadvantage into consideration. I’m not even a URM so…</p>
<p>Pretty sure they take academic disadvantage into account, based on content of Admissions Confidential, at least. Admissions counselors eat up that adversity stuff. >.></p>
<p>Awww yissss. Eat it up.</p>
<p>I just emailed my Cornell alumnus interviewer. He said it’s definitely a hollistic process so i’m happy about that. Since I applied to bioengineering at CALS, they are looking for “what will lilmelonred bring to the bio-engineering community at Cornell and CALS?” through essays and ECs… I mentioned how being part of Key Club shaped my HS years and how it made me want to change the world… I hope my essays were strong enough to convince them. But I know I found couple of errors after i submitted them =/</p>
<p>So did I, though.</p>
<p>tick tock tick tock
Am going to go crazy soon!</p>
<p>So excited</p>
