Cornell ED Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

Is anyone applying to CALS with a major of Global and Public Health Sciences? :slight_smile:

Did Cornell contact any of your schools about first quarter grades? They didnā€™t ask for mineā€¦ so is that bad?

I sent mine in though they didnā€™t ask.

@roboticsnerd33 They donā€™t ask for them, I opted to send them but it is purely personal choice.

I never got contacted for an interviewā€¦ Applying to HumEc. Anyone in this same situation, or is this a bad sign?

@crispustree I wouldnā€™t worry about it, sometimes there arenā€™t enough alumni to meet with all the students. You might also stand out geographically, so that might have been the issue. Finally, when I talked to my interviewer (I applied to CALS) he said he had meant to contact me 2 weeks prior to our meeting, but he was in London, so itā€™s entirely possible for your interviewer to have forgotten.
Regardless, donā€™t worry about it! The ā€˜interviewā€™ was more of an information session to update Cornell on stuff weā€™ve done after we submitted our applications and to ask questions. It wonā€™t adversely affect your admission to the university.

hey guys! i applied early to upenn, i was just wondering if any of you guys know how many ED applications cornell got? i know upenn got 5999, but i am assuming cornell got more because it is a much larger school.

My first quarter grades were my best yet, but I didnā€™t send them because they didnā€™t askā€¦ dammit. Ahh, live and learn. I doubt that little bump in GPA would make that much of a difference??

^if they donā€™t ask for grades, they probably wonā€™t consider them but it canā€™t hurt to send. No one really has any idea when decisions will be out (everyoneā€™s source for thurs is the alumni calendar which was published pre-july and subject to change depending on how many apps they received) so why not send?

@quietdesperation Right, I figured it was too late, but Iā€™ll consider sending them. Thanks!

According to a few websites, decisions for Cornell ED should be out on the 8th, but I donā€™t know how accurate that is.

@skiing26 Cornell received a record number of ED applications last year (4,882) so itā€™s safe to assume this year will be higher.

@amelieismylife Thanks for the reassurance. Best of luck to you!

@crispustree Thanks, you too! Glad I could help.

@reformedman Uh not necessarily, Animal Science is actually quite selective because it is a rare major that not many universities have. I applied to Animal Science because I want to become a vet.

@cotopaxi I really hope it is tomorrow.

I wish I knew how many people applied to nutritional sciences and how many people they admitā€¦this wait is killing me :frowning:

Anyone know anything about people who apply ED for French major? Are the language majors particularly selective? Iā€™m so nervous for Thursday :-&

@lulu0207 Best of luck! Hopefully weā€™ll be future classmates :slight_smile: x

Is it now 100% sure going to be released this thursday?
