<p>will they release fin aid online or just in the mail?</p>
<p>Ended up choosing Cornell after visiting both institutions</p>
<p>@RandomPigeon</p>
<p>It is a great achievement though you are discouraged
in the initial stages. You won the game
All the best, my friend</p>
<p>@Pianostar Of course!!! I have been dreaming about Cornell forever haha. Are you coming to Cornell days?</p>
<p>All the best everyone!! :D</p>
<p>13 hours 45 minutes to go!! </p>
<p>Though I guess the considerable traffic may delay it by an hour at least.</p>
<p>Cornell’s my best chance among the Ivies - however slim that chance may be! So looking forward to it eagerly!!</p>
<p>Honestly, is Cornell anyone’s top choice???</p>
<p>so I’m rejected by Duke… well it’s pretty much expected but I still can’t stop feeling sad or panicking… my chance at any ivy has already been so slim and with the rejection now I’m just screwed :(</p>
<p>I’m waitlisted by Duke… So I feel like my hope is fading away… I’ve never believed in God more than this week.</p>
<p>To rishav17</p>
<p>If you applied to Cornell just to have an Ivy League education, they will be able to tell that…don’t count on an automatic acceptance. Cornell offers a multitude of opportunities that other Ivies do not… Architecture, ILR, CALS, human ecology, etc. you are short-sighted. Looking for a label rather than an educational experience is an error on your part. “Is Cornell anyone’s first choice?” Everyone who applied ED will say yes.</p>
<p>calm down swimmer726. he never said he applied for solely the name</p>
<p>and also ofc you apply to an ivy league school in order to receive an ivy league education…why else would you apply lol…to have an ivy league party experience?</p>
<p>Want to wish you all best of luck today. There will be some happy people and some very disappointed people today. Try not to let this define your high school experience. It is quite an achievement to even have a seat at the table to compete. I am sure all of you will have a great school to go to come this fall.</p>
<p>@swimmer726 Haha. Don’t see why you got so irritated really! :)</p>
<p>I asked whether Cornell is anyone’s top choice, because if you read through the thread… you’ll notice a lot of people more excited about colleges other than Cornell. I know it’s RD but still…
I was hoping to get a feeling of how many people will choose Cornell if accepted(even though past years yield figures also help in that regard.). </p>
<p>My top choice btw… was/is Northwestern, so your broad assumption that I’m short sighted, looking for an Ivy education and blah blah blah is quite wrong. </p>
<p>And I am not counting on a Cornell acceptance. Or rather far from it. I just feel that I have a better shot at Cornell than other Ivies because my Cornell essay, I felt was good. And Cornell Engg is a bit lenient on the SAT CR score! :)</p>
<p>Well I’m going to say Cornell is my first choice so far but it wasn’t before. After doing many research and understanding A LOT about Cornell, it did became my first choice. I believe Cornell will give me a wonderful experience. But then again if I rejected, it’s not the end of the world…I have plenty of other great options.</p>
<p>@rishav17: if Cornell is lenient on SAT CR scores for engineering applicants, I hope that also applies to applicants that applied to bioengineering or other engineering at CALS.</p>
<p>@Rishav17 swimmer726 may have overreacted a little bit. But he or she has a point. Cornell is not accessible for students without clear passion. I am sorry to inform you but your post does make you sound like you are applying to Cornell for easier acceptance.</p>
<p>@cyanproxy I’m visiting through diversity hosting but unfortunately I won’t be there for Cornell Days</p>
<p>5 hours and 7 minutes to go!!1</p>
<p>I’ll be out this evening so I won’t find out my decision until later tonight. I don’t want to know until after i come back from NYU’s dinner invitation.</p>
<p>@rishav17
Where did you get the idea Cornell Engineering is lenient with SAT CR scores? To the contrary, Cornell Engineering actually has a notably higher average SAT CR than the average Cornell student. Take a look:</p>
<p>Engineering SAT CR IQR: 670-760
Cornell SAT CR IQR: 640-740</p>

<p>And by the way, you will also notice a similar trend at other schools. For example, Duke Engineering has a higher SAT CR average than Duke A&S and if I remember right, the University of Virginia follows a similar pattern. Engineering admits are terrific at math at these schools, but also, for whatever reason, excellent in English! Best wishes for admissions this evening :)</p>
<p>^I get the feeling CR is actually easier for logical/mathematical people. Whereas writing is the one they(we) may struggle with. You can study the vocabulary, and the CR texts require a certain exactness that seems to come easily to these people.</p>
<p>Maybe I’m using myself as source too much here though.</p>
<p>Analysis isn’t only mathematical, dude. ^_^</p>
