Cornell Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

@ComputerEngineer I am applying for CoE and the things that I did that related to engineering were 1. A rec letter from my engineering teacher 2. Pres of engineering club 3. Robotics club at school/ mentor of Robotics Club for kids 4. Dual enrollment to intro to engineering course 5. Both essays related to growing up with engineering 6. CAD club mentor for kids 7. Early completion of all engineering courses at my school

@RSalvatierra I couldn’t have said any better, that sounds absolutely delightful. Oh god I so hope i get accepted though I have like no chance. fingers crossed!

@jf2580 as long as they don’t do something like “We regret to inform you that we weren’t able to email you sooner because your application was so amazing. You’re in. Congrats”

Or a

“congratulations! You did your best and had a solid application, but unfortunately you weren’t accepted” :))

HAHAHA

It seems like people are all applying for engineering/ science major here. Anyone applying for humanities? :slight_smile:

@JustaEngineer Those are pretty good! These are mine…1. Recommendation from Engineering Alumni that my family is good friends with 2. Founder and President of Science Club ( involves some engineering aspects) 3. Member of Engineering Club ( there are no officer positions weirdly) 4. Started my own business as a Computer/Technology Technician 5. I am in an Engineering independent study where we are building new engineering designs that we will the compete with at MIT 6. Built my own computer 7. Essays on engineering aswell

@ComputerEngineer business and MIT aspects are very interesting, well done! My school barely promotes engineering so I founded my engineering club this year and complete projects around the school and stuff. Is your engineering club popular at your school and what do you guys mainly do?

A hopeful Columbia applicant here! I know you guys find out an hour before we do, and seeing that you’re only about 17 hours away from finding out what fate has in store for you, you’re probably a little more stressed than we are back on the Columbia thread. Keep in mind, however, how hard you have worked uptil now and that no one single rejection or deferral letter can undermine that. You are capable of great things regardless of whether you get in or not. You will still be the earth-shatteringly amazing person you are right now. And of course I wish you GODSPEED! You got this!

@ezrakoenig4life how ironic ur username is EZRA LOLOLL should have applied to Cornell

@ezrakoenig4life Fingeres Crossed :)>-

@JustaEngineer Yeah I hope those counteract my test scores. Thank You and you as well! No, we have barely anyone interested in engineering, my senior class isn’t at least. We have a group creating a drone from 3D printers, a mini submarine and creating ukulele from wood. Hbu

I can’t wait for you guys to post up the results tmr.

@dorothylewes haha sorry to disappoint! As true as your reference is, I was going more for Ezra Koenig aka god aka frontman of vampire weekend

I applied to CoE for matsci and engineering. Anyone else?

AP Psych + '‘D’'ecision day = :-& 8-X :-w

I can’t wait for tomorrow !! 1 more minute !!

Decision day!!!

Happy Decision Day, all!!!

@1stgendukie I would imagine that it helps quite a bit lol.

NO STOP I’m not ready to be rejected today…it’s today. How are we even here? I was a freshman yesterday…
