<p>My stats are mostly in the 75+% range and ive got a decent range of ecs as well.. so I guess ive got a shot...</p>

<p>Since I was waitlisted at Northwestern (detailed stats in that decisions thread if anyone cares), a rejection or waitlisting here wouldn't surprise me at all. UCLA it is, I guess.</p>

<p>so it seems like a lot of people who think they've got a good shot are in the 12 range but there are 3 engineering likelys in 1 oclock right? so maybe waitlist-accept-reject (hopefully not, i don't want to be on 3+ waitlists) orrr maybe accept working its way to reject orrr maybe this is all completely neurotic and a waste of time.</p>

<p>it's only two days away, but i'm just bored and analytical.</p>

<p>Of course, now that this thread has captured so much intrigue, once decisions come out, everyone has to come back and post their time and decision.</p>

<p>I think the placement is random. The likelies span across the entire range of the 1 o-clock batch, and there are some very capable applicants in all three batches. The proportions are too close for any of the given three batches to represent accept/reject/WL.</p>

<p>I hope its neurotic (ok, well I /know/ it's neurotic), only because that would mean I'm rejected :-p</p>

<p>Someone with amazing chances please come in and say you were in the 2 o'clocks. lol</p>

<p>Yes, but the unlikeliness of any kind of pattern just makes this all the more fun.</p>

<p>i honestly cant wait to see what it actually is, ive been spending a lot of time trying to figure this out and the wait-admit-deny is the only thing ive come up with... but still goodluck to everyone</p>

<p>i applied to engineering and i got it at 12:26. I have no idea about my chances i got wait listed at Northwestern Engineering but i didnt like my essay at all and i spent a while on Cornell's essay...... but idk</p>

<p>As for the people who are hinging their predictions on other schools' admits/rejects... don't. I know a girl who got rejected Yale EA and got accepted Harvard & Princeton RD.</p>

<p>agreed. admissions are crazy.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I got rejected from CAS, considering I was waitlisted from a couple of weaker schools, and my time was 2:44. I re-read many of the posts from this thread, and I know for sure that the "2:00-3:00 group" is the rejection group. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I really wish the times did say something about our decisions because mine is same time as 5757 who got a likely letter. I really wish I could rate my own chances but I don't know how competitive Human Ecology is in the first place.
Does anyone know? (My stats are 2030, 31 ACT, top 5%, boring ECs, nothing spectacular)</p>

<p>I got 12:26 and I don't feel confident whatsoever....anyone else get this?</p>

<p>As for the 2 o'clock batch being the rejection group... things simply don't add up. That batch constitute just a quarter of all the times reported and is the smallest among all three (12, 1, and 2), but obviously the actual rejection rate (and forbid me to say this, sorry, the rejection rate on CC) is going to be much higher.</p>

<p>^No, you're not taking into account that collegeconfidential is not a useable sample to represent the population of Cornell applicants because collegeconfidential has an overwhelming amount of overachievers, whereas the real world has an overwhelming amount of underachievers. And by "achievers" I mean it on the standard of competitive schools like Cornell.</p>

<p>Also, it would be really helpful if we could get the times of the people who got the likely letters.</p>

<p>There could be a lot of 2 o'clockers out there that we haven't heard from</p>

<p>thank you aBeautifulMind, ive been trying to tell him that but he wont listen, ast to the likelys they're all in the 1 oclock range as ive said before, and as has been previously posted, glad to have someone who knows what they are talking about...:)</p>
