<p>Hey, I'll post my times; I think this is really interesting. Anyway, if we weren't obsessed with the college admissions process, why would we be on CC?</p>

<p>And my last name starts with 'D', I live in NY, and I applied to CAS.</p>
<p>You think this is obsessive, you should see the email thread in the Princeton forum. </p>
<p>Anyway, CAS, H, VA. and 3/24/2008 2:04:00 PM E.S.T.</p>
<p>there may some truth to the idea that the times mean something. for instance, at another school, a lot of people that got waitlisted saw their screens change at around the same time. </p>
<p>like this: earlier times might mean there was no question on your decision,
later times might mean waitlisted. if you think about it, someone has to put this into the computer (meaning the decisions) and you know they don't wait and do it all at the same time. it must be spread out over a least a few days? when the date and times changed at the other school it did meant they had either made the decision or logged it in on the computer.</p>
<p>sorry </p>

<p>sorry again</p>

<p>dont you think that if they took longer to make a decision that you would have more chances, I mean a rejection would maybe have been known for some time already for some. Anyways this is sort of ridiculus and obsessive. Me included.</p>
<p>wait, I haven't been getting any emails at all from Cornell after that financial aid thing (i.e. instructions, etc.). Is this a bad sign?</p>
<p>Haha this is RIDICULOUS but I will contribute to this craziness... 3/24/2008 2:16:00 PM E.S.T.</p>
<p>last name: M
location: overseas (indonesia)</p>
<p>hey, same time.</p>
<p>carnut, may you post your location and your surname's starting letter? Please?</p>
<p>your time is exactly the same as theprez's....</p>
<p>find the times of the kids who received likely letters. if they're all around the same time, then I might buy into this...</p>
<p>good idea, zdub08...I might ask my female cousin who already got a likely letter from the Cornell engineering school.</p>
<p>you could also take a look at the likely letter thread and either PM those kids too or direct them to this thread</p>
<p>"dont you think that if they took longer to make a decision that you would have more chances, I mean a rejection would maybe have been known for some time already for some."</p>
<p>no. the time frame we're looking at here is only a few hours. it's not like the admissions people are making final decisions on all apps now and uploading the decisions individually... there are 30,000 apps. they could have, however, uploaded all the acceptances first or last or something.</p>
<p>for what it's worth, i got a likely and mine reads 1:54pm on march 24th.</p>
<p>5757: what's your last name start with?</p>

<p>This might seem like a dumb question but why are you asking for the letters of the last names for?</p>
<p>Right now, we have only 5757 who got the likely letter. From my memory, she's an URM and applied for engineering.</p>
<p>Alright, I just got a response from my Asian female cousin from California applying for engineering.</p>
<p>She did get a likely letter and her submitted time is March 24, 1:28 PM EST.</p>
<p>So now, we have two samples who did get their likely letters. Both females, applying for engineering, but one is Asian, the other Afro-American (URM).</p>
<p>My female cousin: 1:28 PM.
5454 (African URM): 1:54 PM.</p>
<p>Since we only have two samples, I will not make my conjecture at the moment.</p>
<p>Btw, any one applies to engineering here?</p>
<p>It seems only the two females and I (male) are applying for engineering.....</p>
