Cornell Class of 2020 Regular Decision Discussion Thread

@LIParent101 Do they? My mothers tax return didn’t have a page that included an html link and password for her online tax return. Guess I’ll have to look around on their website.

@Ngzk07 the website has to let you print the returns and when you do you pick the PDF printer that you installed on your computer

Based on previous years’ patterns, when do you predict decisions will be out? Any other big schools (i.e. Penn, Harvard, Duke, Chicago, Washu)?

I predict:
March 4-10 for rolling admissions SHA/ILR
March 14-17 for likely letters
April 1 for general admission

@CCSenioritis on the ivy league agreement and when you look online or even call Cornell, they say that they send out ill/sha acceptances beginning late February. over the past couple years its always around like march 7th, was there ever any point where they sent them out during feb? or do they just say early feb just bc

@litlhoward2468 I have no clue. I’ve only looked at results threads up to like 2017 and I think they only released them in early march. They might do it this year but if they’ve been doing early march consistently then we can expect it to remain the same

In the past likely letters went out mid March and the others two weeks later on the same day as other Ivy leagues

Ugh I wish they would send out likely rejections with the other likelies. Obviously if you get one, it’s wonderful, but it’s hard not to be pessimistic if you don’t. I feel they add a lot of stress.

@pk2608 nope, I’m a domestic applicant.

Do we know the exact day of when we find out yet?

Except paying for the CSS Profile to be sent to the colleges do we need to send other forms like Tax forms as well?

Yes, @pk2608. You should get a notice from the College Board that your school requires IDOC. The email has an ID number and you follow the link to fill in your log in info and upload your docs. We had to upload the tax returns and W2s, plus a Cornell specific form.

Just got contacted for an interview today. The interviewer said “looking forward to meeting you and your parents”. Isn’t it weird? Why my parents? Should I just go by myself?

@PWANG96 That sounds odd lol. I think you should just go by yourself. I can only think they’d want your parents to come if they had questions about the school too.

@PWANG96 I agree that’s weird. Go by yourself and if he asks about your parents say that unfortunately they couldn’t make it.

Thank you @moonstar9869 and @Ngzk07! Definitely going by myself.

We never got an email from college board about the IDOC but we signed in to it and all of the colleges that require forms from us were listed with a due date in the beginning of March so don’t want for the email.

Is it a problem if you are unable to submit your idoc by February 15th

I know this is not a “chance me” post/thread but I just want to know what do you guys think about my stats for each schools that I applied. I am only asking because my stats are a bit weird.

redbluegreen19-I called when I saw the deadline to ask what to do since it was unrealistic. The person on the phone said to do your best to get as close to the 15th as possible. Not much more info than that like what is the purpose since the CSS is already submitted with similar information.
