The amount of timers people have on that site for Cornell is ridiculous lol ^^ and does anyone have a rough guess of how many people applied Ed?

found this posted on last years ED thread, thought I’d share! Made me laugh!

"Here is a powerful, non-denominational prayer to be recited while opening emails, logging on to online portals, or dealing with with envelopes announcing Early Decision news.

As I confront the most life-changing email/online portal/envelope I will ever encounter, I beseech the Almighty Early One to look over me and protect me from posting something braggy or smug or nasty on Facebook. If accepted, grant me the strength to immediately compose a gushing thank you note and send it along with an Amazon gift card to my history teacher, who exaggerated my brilliance in her recommendation and made me sound like a freaking genius for winning a debate about GMOs. If deferred, give me the focus to complete the 26 other apps, with supplements I haven’t yet downloaded. And, O Early One, if denied, consider giving me a White Lie Waiver, allowing me to tell people “I decided at the last minute to apply Regular, and besides, I want to take a gap year anyway to continue my research with sea turtles.”

Good luck everyone!

@going4it I am going to do that before I open it!

@going4it lol I literally just read it out loud in front of my mom

I heard dat CALS accepts more girls than boys. Is it true?

Anyone apply to Info Sci in CALS?

i think its just that more girls apply to CALS than guys do @jf2580

Ik human ecology has way more girls

@MASSAPPLY thank you so much for your post. its honestly the most calming thing ive read since this whole application process started :slight_smile: took a picture of it to save on my phone so i can reread it tomorrow.

Picture this. At 5:01 P.M. you open your mail and see the Cornell mail. You pray and leave it for God to decide. You then open the mail and see, ‘‘Congratulations!’’ You celebrate, let everyone know. You rock your finals and first semester. School is done for the year. Christmas dinner with your family and great food. You travel for NYE and have the night of your life. And finally, you take a three day trip to Cornell and admire your home for the next four years. HOW GREAT WOULD THAT BE?

What does Cornell acceptance looks like? Does it start with “Congratulations”? Or it will be hided somewhere else?

@RSalvatierra O GOD LET THIS HAPPEN !

Yea it starts w congratulations you have been accepted to whatever college you applied to

@RSalvatierra for a split second when you said “NYE” i thought you were talking about bill nye- our future alumnus.
