Cornell Class of 2020 Regular Decision Discussion Thread

@redbluegreen19 i would imagine that it would be an end of the week sort of thing

Hey everyone. Please don’t get upset if you don’t get a LL. Very few do. It does not mean that you won’t be accepted 3/31.

@motortrend Do you mean very few URM’s and women get them… or very few applicants overall? Just curious.

Very few women in engineering and URMs.

I don’t know how many times I’m going to have to say this, but:

Stop.
Worrying.
About.
Likely.
Letters.

Few applicants overall get them. Just because you don’t get one, doesn’t mean you won’t get in (same goes for if you don’t get one as a URM, as a woman in engineering, etc). FAR MORE get in WITHOUT likely letters than do with.

Thanks @motortrend

I know I said this earlier in this forum but my daughter’s friends at cornell who are mostly all URMs AND women in engineering DID NOT get a LL and they were all accepted on IVY day anyway. Please dont expect a LL. Assume you will hear your decision on 3.31.

exactly @XoXdreamerXoX Please just mark your calendar for 3.31 and if by some miracle you get a LL it will be a welcomed surprise

Got accepted to ILR!!

Yes @Colleggeeee as far as I can tell there are 8 applicants (all girls) for class of 2020 they’re following. My dad is convinced this is a good sign. Most of them are private accounts so I can’t see my competition LOL!

@modern_messiah Congrats! When did you get your letter?

Does anyone know if being a legacy affects your chances of getting a likely letter? Or being a deferred ED applicant? I know this is probably a ridiculous question but I’m going crazy waiting haha

@hayley636 Deferred students typically do not receive likely letters, but you could be one of the few!

There’s only 23 days left to find out if you really got into the school or not. It seems long I know, but come on lol just wait…

The non-Ivy threads are slightly less painful to read right now because no one is freaking about likely letters.

Why can’t they just tell us tomorrow?? Spare us of our pain!

Dang I feel attacked right now lol g2g2g2g2g2g2g2g2g2g2g2g2g2g2g

@CCSenioritis you okay??

My Daughters roommate is a multi generation legacy and did not receive likely letter. Had to sweat it out with everyone else :slight_smile:

@modern_messiah when did you receive the letter?
