Cornell Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

as we slowly approach 5pm EST, i can feel the butterflies in my stumstum begin to multiply.

@elpollodiablo I would but I’m going to bed now (11:21 PM) because of my exam tomorrow

I just got an email about the log in credentials

All anxiety has died in me. I just kinda let it go. If I get rejected or deferred, well, life moves on. I will still attend a college and receive an education. If I get in, then it’s great. Amazing even! Whatever happens will happen, and at this point, I have no control over it. :slight_smile:

To whoever asked, I’m opening it at school

I’m excited to get accepted :)) I’m taking the positive route today

@tyronium are you from India, too?

Hi people, I have just received my login credential as well as an email from Fedex that said Cornell has sent me an international parcel to my home here in South Korea. Does Cornell send out letters for those who got rejected or deferred?

BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE!

I think I am going to go to sleep as I can not stand waiting down every second until 3 AM night.
When I wake up I am sure most of you would have gotten in. I sure hope I too can join you guys in a “Preparation for Cornell” thread soon.

@roaringtiger I’m pretty sure they don’t. There’s a good chance you might have gotten in! Just wait for 6 more hours to be sure.

ALL THE BEST EVERYONE :smiley:

@FZM777 Goodnight buddy! Let’s hope our efforts bear fruits xD

As a parent who had a kid who got into ED (Cornell) and another who got wait listed (Columbia), I know how nervous you all are. My kid who got into Cornell ED was on a school trip. She had to be excused to go back to her hotel room to see the result. As her mom, I cleared my work calendar from 5-6pm so I could be there to pick up the pieces if the news was bad. She called me at 5:01 with the good news. She was crying on the phone.

Good luck to all of you today.

To kill some time, you may want to read this very famous (funny) CC thread about a kid who put clam fart as an EC on his Yale application.

@icybal99 I’m pretty sure some people in this thread applied to HBHS

@tyronium Thanks! it’s 1:31 AM in here and I have just woke up after (accidentally) going to bed at 6pm… I guess I was not meant to sleep tonight…gulp!

@icybal99 and I’m pretty sure HBHS is the most popular major in HumEc

I’m almost positive I’m not getting in but I need to know for sure before I can do anything. I can’t do anything right now. UGH.

Let’s all call fedex of ups to see if Cornell mailed us anything

@dorothylewes sounds like a good idea!

@dorothylewes I like the way you think xD

rings up fedex

*fedex laughs and says “lel cornell no send anything for you lel”".

proceeds to cry :’(
