Cornell Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

Does anyone know if they consider your school’s median ACT score when reviewing your scores on your application? Obviously it wouldn’t be a huge factor if they did but I was just wondering.

I just got deferred from Tulane (probably bc i didnt write the optional why Tulane supp essay) but if i couldnt even get into tulane how am i getting into cornell :frowning:

Great Advice from Massapply

@JCornell2020 I’m also applying bio through CAS! I’m guessing you’re also a premed? :stuck_out_tongue:

@MASSAPPLY thank you, kind sir

@DivergingLens I am prevet haha! But I do have a very strong passion for Biology and research so (God forbid) I don’t get into vet school then I’ll be a researcher.

@JCornell2020 Oh awesome! (I was confused because I thought you meant to call me a pervert at first XD) I haven’t met many prevets, but it sounds like we’re pretty much on the same track undergrad-wise. I hit my app at a genetics and biology research perspective as to not have them instantly throw me into the “usual bio major premed kid” pile of applications lol… but I don’t know how much I’d want to go into research as a career

Accepted or not, what are everyone’s post-decision plans?

I wish people who did chance mes posted the end result

@elpollodiablo Northeastern EA comes out on the 21st I think and Univ. Miami EA is around there too so I’ll be waiting for those decisions, and then i’m gonna finish my apps for Hopkins, Dartmouth, and Tufts and just see what happens come April

@MASSAPPLY Really needed that! Thank you!

cant sleep today. Anyone who’s artsy wanna check out my portfolio? PM me if you are equally bored

Hi guys! I’m from the Penn thread and I wish all of you the best of luck! I know this whole process has been incredibly stressful for all of us, but all you guys are awesome and amazingly qualified people! I hope you all get in! :slight_smile:

Thanks :stuck_out_tongue:
Good luck you too!

I completely forgot about this cc thread until two days ago and then learned that we get our decisions tomorrow when I thought it would come out Saturday (tried to predict by looking at prior release dates). Man, everyone is seriously freaking out. I can’t talk because I was, too, but then I thought to myself, it’ll be okay to not get in (and I probably won’t get in). If any of us were meant to get into Cornell, then we will get in :slight_smile: if not then that means there’s another school out there. Sadly, the hard truth is that not all of us will get in and keep in mind that whatever college we go to, whether that be Cornell or somewhere else, we’re going to meet people we otherwise would have never met, we’re going to have experiences and opportunities we otherwise would have lost out on. I guess all I can say is to try to not get too worked up. It’ll be okay you guys, our lives will still go on, we will still go to college and graduate. It’ll be OK lol. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it’s not fair and sometimes it sucks. So it goes. If we can’t deal with a deferred/rejection letter, then how are we going to deal with other situations that don’t go our way in life? I was thinking about being accepted, deferred, denied just like the rest of us, but then it occurred to me that whatever happens, happens. There’s nothing I can do about it, that may be a good or bad thing. Although being deferred is a loophole lol because you kind of have a second chance. Anyway that’s not the point, the point is to truly reflect on yourself. If you get in, great! If you get deferred/rejected that’s okay, too. A deferred or rejected letter doesn’t define who we are, and honestly I’m kind of tearing up because there are so many people on here and not everyone will get in (“the truth doesn’t hurt unless it ought to” as my teacher would say) and the amount of people who will be devastated by the results makes my heart ache because I wish this decision didn’t have so strong of an impact on some of you all because it really is taking a toll. Don’t get me wrong, I would love for all of us to be accepted but I’m a realistic person and things don’t always go as planned in life. I truly wish the best of luck to everyone, really. I guess I’ll be back on here at like 5:30 tomorrow afternoon, because Cornell’s site will have an overload of people trying to see their decision, thus I probably won’t see my results to later with my luck lol. This is it you guys, either we’re ecstatic or we have to continue working on RD applications lol. Have a great night and a wonderful day tomorrow :slight_smile: I truly wish the best for everyone. I don’t know how many times I can say it but good luck and again: whatever happens, happens :slight_smile:

Good luck tomorrow guys!! You can do it!!
-Penn wellwisher

We should create a fraternity if we all get in. I bet all of guys get good personality.

Welp… just accepted to one of my safeties… now Cornell cmon…

@elpollodiablo Working on RD apps lol. Applying to Duke, Hopkins, UNC Chapel Hill, Brown, Columbia, and UPenn. Don’t get into any of those schools, then going to a state school and possibly transferring. Going to make the most of what I’m given

@Curlynizzle aren’t u applying as Nutrition science major? Those schools don’t have it or at least when I tried to apply :confused:
