Cornell Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

@lillyyy i did engineering

Pretty sure no one else in my school (senior class~700) applied ED either… We average 1 or 2 EDs a year

Have a bunch of people applying ED from my school. Luckily applying from NY to CALS which has a responsibility to take in more NY people.

@alexissanchez30 you can’t say they are directly competing. It’s mainly an inderect factor. It won’t hurt you, but coming from a region with fewer applicants can help you.

@metacuber out of curiosity, do you speedcube?

i hope i don’t get deferred or rejected because I’m not from NY : ( I would’ve moved for you cornell!!!

@michaelbuble My plan is to open my rejection letter, cry, and let Michael Buble serenade me with his beautiful voice during his Xmas special which airs rejection(decision) night.

@Fellowship Even though my school has a good track record with Cornell RD (usually around 25%-50% accepted per year), we only had 3 students do ED in our school’s history. Our counselors ho out of their way to discourage students from doing ED. I had mine call me in and have an hour long discussion about it with me as she tried to explain how I was making a huge mistake before agreeing to sign my ED agreement. :))

@NICE8x you mean acceptance letter!! POSITIVITY PEOPLE POSITIVITY

@CCSenioritis
You’ll get in, promise :stuck_out_tongue:
+Not being from NY doesn’t hurt x], plus there’s way more people applying from NY than any other state so accepting a larger number doesn’t really mean much.
I know decisions don’t come out until tomorrow (it’s the 9th right now for me) I just can’t sleep, and I have no BC test this week so I can’t convince myself to go to sleep.

@Fellowship Thanks :smiley: You too of course!! I have an AP Bio exam that if I don’t ace will drop me to a C but i’m not studying instead I’m here lol

Due tomorrow do tomorrow

This thread helps me put my anxiety in perspective. Some of you really need to relax, and stop trying to sneak into the housing portal.

I believe in us all!!

Cornell is love. Cornell is life.

@PhunguSAE
But…I can’t wait…so many hours left…desperate…must …be…sneaky
@rhdhtai
Why the heck do they have a problem with ED. Almost everyone I know applied ED. ED is a beautiful/evil thing I guess.

Life…
Now I’m getting all philosophical here.

lmao we need sleep

waiting for cornell decisions and chill

@CCSenioritis you mean “chill”
Like literally freeze from extreme anxiety and mental coldness.
