Cornell Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

yea 5 others for me too and like 2 international

8 others. 2 schools EA, the rest regular decisions

My junior grades weren’t perfect and Cornell didn’t ask for my Q1 grades… rejection? :confused:

well grades aren’t everything so you never know. this kid from my bros school had a 3.85 is weighted gpa and he got in so like i said grades aren’t everything.

I love the UC system. 1 app for all 5 UCs I applied to ^^

I dont think so. I dont believe my counselor sent in my scores. There are a lot of other factors that cornell looks at. When I visited there they kept reiterating that recommendations and essays set one apart from the rest of the applicants. dont worry :smiley:

5 is a magical number for everyone :smiley: And btw 6As for me lol. I’m doing so well this year, even better than my jr year haha

Thanks for the assurances guys
5 UCs? that’s like 350 bucks? O.o

i applied (and got accepted) into 2 state schools so far. i have my other essays ready to go for about 5-6 schools if i get rejected lol

@MarvinTheSnowCat I cry every time… Actually I just told my mom that’s what I wanted for Xmas so she was fine with it (I obviously lied lol: Cornell Acceptance Letter is much much much more appealing hahahaha)

i’m planning to excuse myself to go to the bathroom every class on the 10th to check my email for the directions and to refresh CC so i can release a little bit of my anxiety with you all

my plan on the 10th is to just wait till I get home and check it with my mom. i really don’t wanna cry in front of literally everyone though because I will cry even if I get accepted

my dad’s friend is an admission officer and he said that if you didn’t send in your first quarter grades, that is a huge red flag

@corgis email noti is the best :smiley: btw is your dog a corgi or what? Irrelevant but I’m just curious!

@thesupremebanana i sent in my 1st quarter grades on december 1st because my counselor was on break the entire month of november. I hope they got them.

@thesupremebanana can you tell us how you got a likely letter? Are you an athlete or do you have some special hooks?

but why would it be a huge red flag?

@CornMine i wish :frowning: i don’t have a dog but love corgis and i plan to get one in the near future (and name it biscuit hehe)!

banana are u sure about that? I know a lot of kids who didnt hand in their 1st quarter grades who got in. Is ur dad’s friend an admissions officer at cornell?

@icybal99 prolly not turning it in means you dont want them to see it --> signs of super early senior slide: taking super easy classes, or showing a huge downward trend (A->C or D)
