<p>This is an article from the Cornell Daily Sun about the ED apps.</p>

<p>44% is such a good chance, i hope it is the same this year, i think about 60% of us posting here will get in, the rest deferred, and no one rejected, good luck to everyone</p>

<p>OMG thanks SOOOOOOOOOOO much for posting that...I remember reading on here that they receieved "too many" apps! Not that it rly would make a big difference for me...</p>

<p>Anyways, I think about 80% of the ppl on the cornell forum will get in...everyone on here is rly smart and well above their avg. stats. Of course, that 80% probably won't include me :-(</p>

<p>"Early-decision candidates are not allowed to apply early to any other college or university."</p>

<p>wait a minute. i didnt know that i could ONLY apply to cornell early.. like that means no early action schools? </p>

<p>uh oh.</p>

<p>i think its just you cant apply to any other binding decisions. Cornell has no way of knowing where else you apply, but all they care about is if you get in ED, you have to go there. They want you to withdraw applications if youre, accepted, but I've heard of people not withdrawing others just so they can see where they got in.</p>

<p>I think if you applied EA to another Ivy League school, however, Cornell will know. The Ivies have all sorts of weird admissions communication. Then again, I may be wrong.</p>

<p>"Dartmouth, Columbia, Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania offer identical early decision programs. Harvard offers the early action option, which allows their applicants to apply early to other schools and does not require students to attend Harvard if accepted. Yale implemented a hybrid of the two plans last year with its early action single choice option. EASC allows students to apply early to Yale, and it doesn't bind them to attend if they are accepted. However, students applying early to Yale are not allowed to apply early to any other institution."</p>

<p>this is an e-mail corresp. i sent:</p>

<p>Hi Ms. Weaver,</p>

<p>After visiting Cornell University and reading more about it,
I have been considering Cornell's early decision program.
However, I am unclear on whether or not Cornell's ED
program allows applicants to apply to non-binding early
action programs, non-binding rolling admissions programs,
interim decision programs, and schools which have an
earlier application deadline for certain programs or
scholarships which are not binding. Thank you for helping
me on this matter.</p>

<p>and this is her reply</p>

<p>Dear Kristin,</p>

<p>You have asked a very important question. You are able to apply to any
school that has a non-binding option if you are applying to Cornell early
decision. If you are accepted to Cornell through early decision, you would
be expected to withdraw your applications from all other
institutions. Applying to Cornell early decision should not have an impact
on any outside scholarship applications. Please feel free to contact me if
you would like further clarification.</p>

<p>Warmest regards,
Tara Bubble
Assistant Director
