@corgis and others who want to know regarding the link they send you to check your decision: this is the verbatim copy of the email my daughter got last year on decision day. Note I omitted some things for privacy reasons. Good luck everyone. My D got accepted ED last year and is loving her experience at Cornell. Also, as I mentioned earlier, don’t open your decision at school. For a host of reasons, which I’m sure you smart kids are all aware of. Do it at home. As this email states, once you are set up and click the link, you will be taken DIRECTLY to your decision letter. Nothing else. Just the letter either accepting, deferring, or denying you. You will also get the official hard copy in the mail a few days later.
