Daughter’s app is in…good luck to all of you, unless you applied to CALS…LOL
@AlexDad2016 What’s wrong with CALS?
@iceshard99 @AlexDad2016 Yeah, what’s wrong with CALS?
That’s where my daughter applied

My CR is low, and I heard that Cornell doesn’t look at Writing?(sucks for me)
I applied UNC Chapel Hill for EA and plan to apply Emory, BC, Notre Dame, U Michigan, U Washington Seattle. And what are other recommendations about RD?
@cyc675 I think you have a good chance! I don’t know too much about AEM admits, though. I know it’s just really really hard lol.
@cyc675 why don’t you apply to MIT? they’re going to love your standardized test scores in math and you have a great gpa.
@AlexDad2016 My D just applied ED to CALS too, best of luck to both our Ds!
my back of the envelope calculation is that cals will take about 120 girls ed. I’m guessing about 40% of those will be legacies/recruited athletes/urm. So my D is competing for one of about 70 spots. In any case, best of luck to all!
does anyone know when ED results come out? I’m told all ivies release results on Dec. 15 but others say it changes every year for cornell???
I think it comes out from around December 7th to December 10th… not too sure though.
Just applied to the engineering college yesterday for materials engineering! Really hope I get in because Cornell is my top choice by far :l .
My stats:
GPA UW: ~3.8-.85 (bad freshman year, good upward trend after)

Senior load: Ap BC Calc, AP Physics C, AP Gov, AP Lit, AP Comp Sci Principles, DE Field Bio, Hon Econ (required)
I took AP Chem, AP Physics 1, APUSH last year and got all 4’s (didn’t study gg)
Things:
Commended scholar

@roboticsnerd33 @jionrubia
The dates change every year, i looked at the past few years and they have been anywhere from Dec 10-16 with most being on December 10th, I looked at weekdays and there doesn’t seem to be any major patterns besides most being released on a Thursday.
@quietdesperation that’s a really depressing statistic lol
@AlexDad2016 yeah, we probably should have done the math first but in any case, she feels like it’s her best fit. Here’s the math, maybe (hopefully) I’ve made a mistake:
cornell ed apps 2015: 4662
cornell ed admission pct 2015: 27.4
cornell ed admits 2015: 4662*.274 = 1277
source: http://cornellsun.com/2016/01/27/cornell-university-receives-record-number-of-early-decision-applications/
cornell admits 2015: 6337
cals admits last year: 1012
% cals admit last year: 1012/6337 = %15.96
source: http://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/tableau_visual/admissions#
number of cals ed admits last year: 1277.1596 = 203
number of women admitted to cals last year: 609
% women admitted to cals last year: 609/1012 = %60
number of women admitted to cals ed last year: 203.60= 120
legacy/athlete/urm ed rate: 40% (just a guess)
available spots for women: .60*120 = 72
hopefully leg and ath is less than 40%
https://dpb.cornell.edu/documents/1000001.pdf
According to this, five years ago legacies were 14% and athletes were 6%. I doubt it has changed that much over five year, so its probably 20-25%
cool, that opens up another 24 spots, to about 96 women.
Wow it’s like damn near anyone can get in lol.
:^)
@roboticsnerd33 @@Shrilkshire
thanks for replying! does any of you two know when they’ll announce the results date?
