<p>Same with me.
Email was sent the day after the submitted time.
They probably uploaded all the decisions and was ready to inform all applicants that the site was up.</p>
<p>damn i was gone for ONE hour and i miss 6 pages of posts. thats nuts.</p>
<p>and my submitted day is 3/24 at 2:34 PM EST
but my email came on 3/25 at 2:41 PM EST</p>
<p>going with the when-they-made-the-decision theory, 2s could be first decisions made - automatic rejects and automatic accepts (i.e. legacies w/ good stats). 12s still has some strong people so seems like a chunk of accepts, and 1s could be a certain deferred group, likelies (at least for engineering), and maybe waitlists?</p>
<p>People with 1:28, </p>
<p>Assess yourself! We have a person who received a likely letter among us!</p>
<p>jl08 that doesnt make much sense</p>
<p>Well, Jen98's stats make me feel a bit more confident...</p>
<p>let's hit 2000 posts before 5 tomorrow.</p>
<p>makes more sense than the reject-accept-waitlist or the waitlist-accept-reject theory or a thousand other ones... as we have people who prove each of those wrong</p>
<p>I got a likely letter for Architecture, mine was submitted March 24 1:45 pm</p>
<p>I still can't make any sense of it..how about.. we all got in ?hahaha</p>
<p>Afro, what are your chances of getting in? I'm curious because I have the same submitted time.</p>
<p>another flaw to consider:</p>
<p>"Dear xxxx:</p>
<p>As we near the end of regular decision application review for Cornell's Class of 2012, we would like to share with you important information regarding admissions decision notification. Please be certain to retain this email for your reference."</p>
<p>(this is what the email say, as im sure all of you guys know)</p>
<p>notice it says "NEAR" the end of regular decision review. as in, a small percentage of people are still being reviewed. in light of this, could the general time ranges actually mean ANYTHING?</p>
<p>why would auto rejects and accept same time?</p>
<p>nope most of the 1's are engineering likely's though</p>
<p>Yeah jl08, I think your theory makes most sense.
The 12 and 1 group seems to be a little blurry though..</p>
<p>i put it as that as that group being the first decisions made. someone mentioned maybe it was organized by that. there would be some auto rejects/accepts that would happen before the final decisions of those in the middle.</p>
<p>It could make sense, 2's are quick decisions. Think about it, you sort through a stack of all the students...people who you know make it in go strait down into the decided pile, people who you know have no chance also go strait down into the decided pile for other reasons. </p>
<p>People who they looked at a little more carefully are the next to be decided and put into the pile. And finally, the people who took the most time to make a decision over, and thus a good portion of the wait listers would be in the 12's. I think this would make some sense becuase they would end up, uploading the decisions in reverse order of when they actually made the decisions. </p>
<p>By this theory, 2's who feel very qualified rejoyce, 2's who this was a reach for....sorry :(, same with 1's, but us 12's....anything could happen.</p>
<p>I guess I'm an auto-reject then... I thought I would at least get waitlisted, but oh well. One of my friends who has an average only 1 point ahead of mine (on a 100 scale) got in ED, so I figured that I would at least get waitlisted.</p>
<p>Well accodig to that.I am auto reject because I am def. not auto accept.</p>
<p>agreed. 12s and 1s are still a bit jumbled. i still hold hope though because of jen98. if they rejected her... then the school might as well as be as bad washu and that's saying something.</p>
