Cornell Class of 2020 Regular Decision Discussion Thread

I got an email about alumni informational interview. Should I do it? Is this the same things as regular alumni interviews?

How do we even access the portal? All my email gave me was a link to activating my applicant ID but I have no idea how to navigate to the portal from that link.

Also does anyone know if the mid-year reports are ruled into admission?

To log on to the portal, go to the Cornell website, then to undergraduate admissions, then first-year applicants, then to check application status. On that page there’s a link to check the portal.

Is it OK that the Cornell portal says that they haven’t received my fee waiver, even if it says it was downloaded on the Common app. I mean it is past mid January, shouldn’t this stuff be completed by now?

IDOC opens in 2 days and I’m confused on submitting the certification form. Do we scan the certification form and upload it to IDOC after signing in ink?

^yes

for College of Arts & Science, I just realized that i didn’t take biology. and biology is required is the an automatic rejection, or is there some type of contingency plan for Cornell.

@Dave437 Can you take online or at a local CC? Ask your GC quick.

@HRSMom . i maybe I could take AP biology online or at a local community college. Thank you for your quick reply.

That should work:)

So does anyone know if mid year reports carry any weight?

When submitting Cornell supplements…what is normally sent. Do applicants send full-fledged research papers or is it just mainly research abstracts?

@ultimate314 i just sent abstract bc i know cornell is really busy

@redbluegreen19 it does 4 deferred apps. probably does for rd too if you did really well then its a plus. if not they could see senioritis

IDOC on college board says it’s the last day to access it has passed?? Any ideas? I have never used this before but I know what It is

Just got an email for an informal meeting. I’m actually really excited, the person that’s meeting with me seems really nice and she really sounds like she wants to get to know me :slight_smile:

@LlenrocPeoh That was for last year. This year’s IDOC starts on Feb 2.

anyone have any idea how possible it is for a candidate deferred from hotel to be accepted?
