Cornell Class of 2020 Regular Decision Discussion Thread

I got the Diversity email, I received it at 5:02pm. I applied to AAP.

NO EMAIL R.I.P. ME :frowning: (ILR applicant)

Is the diversity email the same as a likely letter?

Hi guys! Congrats to all who got the LL. Just wondering, was it only for diversity such as woman in engineering or URM?

“This special invitation is extended to you because of your strong academic and personal record and because you will be admitted to Cornell University’s Class of 2020.”

So happy right now! :smiley:

Global Health Major!

Mine says:

I am writing to let you know how much the Cornell Engineering Admissions Committee enjoyed reading your application. Your academic and personal achievements are outstanding and, although the Ivy League schools will not officially notify students of their admission decisions until the end of the month, I am pleased to inform you that you are very likely to be admitted to Cornell.

During the next few weeks, you will narrow your list of possible college choices to the one school you think is best for you. I hope this advance notice of your likely admission to Cornell will encourage you to learn more about this great institution.

So… Not just for URM or diversity?

Yikes, nothing here in California. 17 days until Ivy Day…

WOOO WIE LIKELY!! I was totally not expecting this!!!

@wifigirl the diversity email said that I “will be admitted to Cornell University’s Class of 2020” and that the “admittance packet is in the mail”. I am personally regarding it with more gravitas than a typical LL, but they may have all said that, diversity and LLs alike.

I GOT the likely letter and I’m international! I am so happy right now that I can’t even be sad about getting rejected from MIT. It’s nice to receive an acceptance and a rejection in the same day

@dianaDM Same, I got rejected then checked my email, so I couldn’t be sad for too long! Interesting that they said 50% of the admitted class of first-year engineers are women, that’s pretty cool! :slight_smile:

My DD also received the same Likely acceptance / Email . I have a question. Is it possible to request to switch form normal admission to a “guaranteed transfer”? My DD would like to take the first two years in our State school (since she already has tons of college credits there due to dual enrollment)

Anyone accepted to UNC Chapel Hill?

just making sure… are Asians a minority to Cornell?

@senioritis07 no, Asians are not a minority in any of the Ivys and schools often associated with the Ivys

@senioritis07 I think only African-American/Blacks, Latinos/as, Native Americans, and 1st Gen are what’s considered URM. ((Correct me if I’m wrong!))

Got Diversity Email invitation :slight_smile:

MIT waitlisted though :frowning:

@dianaDM Same with me!!! Except I got the cornell email first, then MIT. So, it was a great day overall because I honestly didn’t have a shot at MIT! Plus, Cornell will let me take a wider expanse of humanities courses :slight_smile:
