Cornell Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

@seniorlife555 where do you live? :slight_smile:

@larrythelobster Oh I’m actually in America right now (woke up super early haha) but I’m originally from Korea
You?

I’m the only person who applied early decision on my whole Island I’m pretty sure. I’m from Hawaii, and max as a state we get like, 30 applicants a year anyways so, hopefully that helps my chances

Oh and I’m from Kona, Big Island of Hawaii. I’m applying to CALS for Biology and Society. I just, I have this gut feeling that I’m gonna get it. I really hope we all get in! I would love to go to school with great people like you guys are are just as neurotic as I am haha

@seniorlife555 hey i was born in korea too! lived in seoul for 6 years(: but im in socal

wow 30? that definitely increases your chances :slight_smile: i hope you get in! @Islandmg

How many people from ur school applied Ed to Cornell? I think I’m the only one from my school :confused:

i think im the only one too. but who knows :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks @larrythelobster ! I’m like super nervous still. Scores come out 11am on Thursday for me so I’ll be I’m school. Talk about stressful…

Good luck!!! I love Hawaii beaches

I live in the Middle East so Friday and Saturday are weekends. Results will come out Friday 2am (2 hours after Thursday midnight) here, so should I sleep Thursday night and check it Friday morning with my family or check it by myself Thursday night? I really don’t know whether I should wait and check with my family the day after but at the same time I know I won’t be able to sleep Thursday night regardless of the decision.

Help me please before I lose my mind.

its totally up to you but i would want to check it by myself and just tell my family the results afterwards. i feel your nervousness though… good luck! @SaifoSehamy

Relativity and time…

Love being British and being the only person in my local area applying to a US college, feels awesome haha

Anyone else been watching the ā€œCornell University - Glorious to Viewā€ YouTube video on repeat like every day? :smiley: annoyingly addicted to Cornell

I watched ILR videos 5 times a day loll

Some of you were wondering how awkward it is to meet real people after knowing them for a long time in forums like CC. Well, I have firsthand experience.

During most of my O Levels and particularly near the exams, I ā€œlivedā€ on XPC (Forum list | XtremePapers). We had a group of friends, we would discuss the subjects, ask questions and frequently get distracted and start chatting about other things. I knew a couple of people for about 2 years before I met them as we all chose to go the same school for A Levels the following year.

The first thing that strikes you is how perfectly ordinary they are too. None of them looked like I had pictured in my mind but for us only the first meeting was awkward. Your mind soon makes the connection between the online profile and person right in front of you. We still call each others by our usernames sometimes in real life.

@ElliotLDavies Haha me too…it’s a beautiful video…

I have absolutely no idea how I’m going to get through these two days now. I can’t focus on any of my RDs and I keep having visions of getting rejected. Even at school I can’t focus on any of my classes, how are you guys dealing with all this? :blush:
