@loltired - I’m going! :slight_smile:

942

Does every admitted student receive LL? And how do you receive it?Email or mail?

943

@CCSenioritis Congratulations!!! It feels good to know one of the deferred CHE student got in! Sign of hope for the rest of us.

944

Is there anyone else here who applied for ILR? :smiley:

945

Go ILR!

946

@efebrkn No, not everyone who gets in receives a likely letter and not eveyone who has not yet heard anything is out of luck. Hold on for March 31.

947

@efebrkn Most admitted students will not have received a LL. LLs traditionally go primarily to athletes and certain academic candidates of particular interest to the university. For most universities, the number of non-athlete LLs is believed to be quite small. Cornell also sends LLs (by email) to some URMs to invite them to the Diversity Hosting Weekend and some women in engineering to invite them to the WIE event. If you are a URM or WIE, based on historical posts to CC, you most certainly can still get admitted without a LL. It won’t be long now (3/31), good luck!

@Extra0dinary Are you URM?

952

I’m late to the thread, but I think the website said the diversity program is offered to about 1,000 student. A lot of people still haven’t heard. You still have a chance to get in!
