I don’t think so. I submitted all of my fin aid documents to Harvey Mudd college late, and never received and email about it. However, I was admitted. I just think its may be an automated email.
Agreed. I would not look too much into these communications.
I got a letter and an invitation about a Diversity Hosting Weekend, I am hoping that means I got in!
@Hopeful-Paleontologist Yes, it’s a likely letter, you’re in congrats!!!

Reflection
Strengths:
What you tried to focus on in your application - any hooks you tried to make for yourself:
I think I was really able to communicate my personality through my essays. I come from a school that is mostly low income students and there’s not a lot of student support from administrators, so the fact that I was able to start a team after being denied for months was pretty great. Then from there I explained how we completely raise our own funds and have created a presence for STEM in our community that wasn’t there before. It had a lot more but I’m lazy to type.
GPA, considering my school doesn’t offer a lot of AP classes that’s pretty much the highest I could get
Weaknesses:
SAT scores, ACT test scores, AP scores
Lack of major awards
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Part of me doesn’t know why, but part of me also thinks I was able to really highlight Cornell values in my essays
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected:
Accepted: SDSU, Cal Poly SLO, UCSD, UC Davis, UCLA
waiting for Berkeley and UPenn
Your “Big Red” factor - the most unique thing in your application: passion to learn and advocate for the increase of education in my community
@montse166 Congrats!
.
Now that the likely wave is more or less over, I can’t wait for the rest of the decisions to come in so the hype starts up again B-)
Does anyone know what the status “Initiated” mean for Financial Aid documents? In my Financial Aid To Do List tab, it says my Aid Application Certification, Parent non-filing statement no W-2, and Student non-filing statement no W-2 are “Initiated.” But on my IDOC it says these documents are all sent. Does anyone know what that means? Does that mean they didn’t get it yet?
Can’t wait to meet the rest of our Cornell 2020 class! 
@BureaCat I had something similar so I just went ahead and emailed them. They emailed me back saying that they had received my documents and that my portal had been updated. When I logged into the portal it no longer showed anything under the FA To-Do section. So I would say try contacting them to see what’s up
@bluepaint1 thank you! One more question, I couldn’t find the email to their financial aid office. Did you just email their admissions office?
@naya09 no I was not contacted to submit, although I have already been accepted.
Congratulations to all those who have got accepted to Cornell. My son is awaiting his decision. What is the ACT scores of people who have got accepted? My son has 33 in ACT, good GPA and AP courses. what are his chances?
@FellingLucky - To answer your question, I had a 2310. Your son’s ACT score certainly doesn’t disqualify him, but the process really is holistic. Only 10 days left, regardless. Good luck!
@Bluebrry I would say we in HumEc have a better shot at deferred->acceptance than most of the university. Especially considering that schools like ILR (or SHA?) defer everyone that does not get accepted ED. Also unlike the rest of the Ivy league, Cornell defers less than a quarter of it’s ED applicants so a deferral actually means you have a shot.
In addition, if you called the HumEc office, they connected you with YOUR admission rep and he or she went over weaknesses in your application, what they liked, as well as what you can do to improve your chances for the RD round.
@rhdhtai I called but they never called me back and then I emailed the Florida rep and she said they are no longer discussing applications and this was in February. All I want is to be accepted into CHE. This deferral has been horrible. I have been waiting since December.
@cuhopeful16 I’m sorry to hear that. I know how hard it is to wait for the decision as I am going through it as well. I hope you had your GC and several people look over your whole application to point out problems and improvements. You could have still taken the matter into your hands without HumEc’s help.
@rhdhtai I did. I also email the college a lot. Sometimes being annoying pays off.
