<p>berryb08: CAS. no likely letter...</p>
<p>Ooh.. Wow. So I got to page 24 and then skipped all the way to the end because I'll never finish reading this otherwise. But yeah. I'm a CALS deferral that has a 1:44 time :( I feel like I'm going to be waitlisted.. What did you guys end up thinking which times signified waitlist/accept/reject?</p>
<p>^^^hahaha
Elysium49: UIUC is a good school. I know several people who go there and they love it. I heard its great for engineering.
I'm off to USC if Cornell doesn't work out.</p>
<p>USC would be crazy.....a lot better than a cornfield in IL...i hate this state....haha...its either freezing or humidly hot.....lots of snow..but no mountains to ski on... ADVICE TO ANYONE CONSIDERING AN IL COLLEGE AS BACKUP.....don't come here.</p>
<p>ironically...i may have to go against my own advice.</p>
<p>Yeah UIUC is a good school. As for my alternate choice of college.. I'm thinking about UMich if I don't get Cornell..</p>
<p>Lol Elysium.. I take it IL bores you? Personally the idea of picking corn has always somewhat thrilled me..</p>
<p>LOL nice try afro.</p>
<p>my cousin goes to michigan and really likes it. so...don't even worry about cornell.. you got yourself a nice backup. haha</p>
<p>Grrrrrr, we should get admitted for all the work we've done today!!!
I want to go to cornell!!!</p>
<p>yeah, people in illinois at least have a lot of respect for u of i urb/champ. and tnn is right about engineering - i know people who choose it over northwestern or washu. it's also a really nice school/campus altogether. i'm sure others have a lot of respect for it, too - because there is at least an upper layer of really smart kids (and a lot of valedictorians, 30s in act-ers choose to go to u of i who don't wish to be too far away from home - which is how a lot of small town kids in illinois feel)</p>
<p>Yeah, I like everything I've heard about Michigan, I just haven't visited it yet. I have heard theres a lot of indians - but I'm Sri Lankan, so I guess I'll fit right in :D Eek, everything seems to pale in comparison to Cornell though.</p>
<p>tnn thats exactly my feeling "I WANT TO GO TO CORNELL!"</p>
<p>i know.. i most definitely agree....but i will probably be confined to the long, hopeless waitlst....</p>
<p>ahhhhhhhhhh noooooooo
being waitlisted would be the equivalent of a long, painful death.
deferral was bad enough, i wouldn't be able to take a waitlist..
but then again, rejection would be worse!
So I guess I'm hoping for a waitlist, at the least...</p>
<p>urb/champ is not a cornfield. the people i know who go there rave of bars and huge athletic events and all sorts of events like unofficial. if you went there i bet you'd end up liking it. (everyone i know who goes there is obsessed with it).</p>
<p>i guess uiuc isn't a horrible fate..haha. idk about all of you...but i don't want to stay with all of the people from my school...i want to venture out.... half of the top 10% of my class is going to uiuc... its become a cliche....</p>
<p>but thanks for the reassurance... i'm a little less anti u of i than before.</p>
<p>Are any of you guys AAP applicants?</p>
<p>ugh I hate waitlists. I was waitlisted for Washu and I won't take "no" or "sort of" for an answer at Cornell!</p>
<p>waitlsit would suck so bad, i jsut want the final descision.</p>
<p>ahh i see now elysium. that's actually why i didn't apply there.</p>
<p>Ah yeah, I definitely don't want to be going to schools where a lot of kids from my school will be going.. I know the chances of running into them much are slim, but I just don't like the idea of it. I want to be unique 8] I want to be a cornellian!</p>
