<p>so for someone that is up-to-date on the conlusion:</p>
<p>I am a 12:24 applicant to ILR and i did NOT utalize the seocondary option.</p>
<p>Wat is my decision?</p>
<p>i don't think i AM going to sleep tonight. too nervous.</p>
<p>does not utilizing the secondary option make a diff? does it show you're less interested or something? </p>
<p>oh and I know asians get killed in the admissions process, but what about south asians, are we considered more as asians or as middle eastern? I heard Middle eastern kids get treated the same as white kids in the admissions process. I'd rather be treated white than asian in the admissions process lol.</p>
<p>the only conclusion that is conclusive is that its random, we couldnt agree on it being or not being anything other than that</p>
<p>:) good luck to all though</p>
<p>azns are azns.</p>
<p>ahh molly
im glad someone understands!
but i have no escape... im a native born east asian (w/ u.s. perm residence). so thankfully i escape the international pool. but really, there's no way to hide my being asian >.<</p>
<p>soutasians (mainly indians) are treated as their own cateogry and it is very challenging particularly in CS and engeneering fields</p>
<p>Indians are just as overrepresented as East Asians are.</p>
<p>Together we fall ;)</p>
<p>"so for someone that is up-to-date on the conlusion:</p>

<p>Wat is my decision?"</p>
<p>Any one wana reply?</p>
<p>nooooooo say it aint so
middle easterns are technically asian, but they're treated white
south asians are practically the same as middle easterns
I mean you can't tell us apart so what's the diff?</p>
<p>FUCI< every overachieving asian out there...and all of the people from ny that keep applying...and LI kids in general.</p>
<p>ill reply again, dont worry about</p>
<p>we didnt conclude anything except it is too difficult to conclude about :)
seriously there was no agreed upon theory, but there were a lot of theories that had errors...</p>
<p>I'm not Indian btw..but still, Asians suck in general. Esp the ones that sit on their a$$ all day, stare at their calculator and need to get laid. </p>
<p>Good thing I'm not an engineering major, or pre med. Maybe the fact I did badly in calculus (C+ lol) will help me rather than screw me. the admissions ppl will be like "omg asian kid who sucks as math...how unique...better get her!"</p>
<p>Haha, I'm sorry, guys. I couldn't help myself.
Good luck with decisions and deciphering this business.</p>
<p>edit: @ molly4190, please just kill yourself right now. If you could do that for us, that would be just fantastic. Mmkay? Thanks.</p>
<p>Woah, someone needs to take the chill pill.</p>
<p>haha I was just joking about the part about asians sucking (I am asian, in case you didn't pick up on it...). But right now I hate the overachievers who applied to cornell and asians especially, because I'm being compared to them. normally I like being south asian...but not right now.</p>
<p>oh and I don't know what CS is. see admissions people...that's how non-asian I am...I can't do math and I don't know what CS is, and some user claimed CS is competitive for south asians.</p>
<p>i kind of feel bad for the asians at my school who don't know that they're not really considered a minority. actually, i feel bad for all jrs at my school. they think joining all the honor societies will save them. tut tut. they need CC, obvs.</p>
<p>hey, we're nearing 1000 posts.</p>
<p>i just can't wait for 5pm tomorrow</p>
<p>Well on that note, CS is Computer Science :)</p>
<p>molly we should spread a rumor that they dnt teach math at cornell...then none of those ppl will apply</p>
<p>I guess I'll add to the mix. I registered just to post here.</p>
<p>I'm a 2:44 , but I don't think I have a chance unless hell freezes over.</p>
<p>1870 SAT (I'm braindead) , 3.7 GPA UW (Really screws up my class rank 'cus a lot of people are ranked higher than me due to the fact that their classes are way easier - 82 our of 600 and something , around the top 12%) , I liked my essays (doesn't mean they will) , I thought my EC's were decent , was one of 16 people in my state to attend the Georgia Governor's Honors Program for Design , ran JV/V Track and XC , I liked my portfolio (once again , doesn't mean they will), thought my interview went pretty good.</p>
<p>Currently taking : AP Calc AB , AP CompSci AB , AP Lang , AP Government , AP Econ. , Engineering and Architecture.</p>
<p>Waitlisted at 2 schools ranked lower than Cornell (GT and Rensselaer). ( I only applied to those 3 schools so needless to say i'm in a world of hurt now , had to frantically find a rolling admissions school to apply to so I would at east get INTO college)</p>
<p>Mixed ( West Indian ) , single parent home with a pretty low income I would say. Maybe they might pity me?</p>
<p>I'm dying on the inside ;).
Any other AAP people out there? Architecture to be specific , I think I saw a couple earlier.</p>
