Cornell ED Class of 2022 Discussion Thread

I just had my CAAAN meeting, has everyone early decision been doing them around now?

Kind of disappointed I still didnā€™t get a CAAAN interview. Submitted both Common App and Supplement on October 9th. Still no contact of any kind. I guess they wonā€™t penalize me for it at least. Maybe there arenā€™t many alumni around me, but hard to believe (suburb of Cincinnati) that is the case.

Why do you care? Is this CAAAN interview different from regular college interviews?

Iā€™m applying ED to the CoE (College of Engineering)!

What excites me about this decision date being December 7 instead of the 15th is that I donā€™t need to send in my Rice RD application before I know if I got into Cornell XD (If you want an interview for Rice, you have to submit by December 11, even though the RD deadline is Jan 1.)

DD got an interview.

@LetMeIntoCollegePleaz your legacy status is definitely a big plus. Iā€™m new to CC so I donā€™t know how ā€œchance meā€ works, but your credentials are amazing!

@Camchar88 thank you so much!

Killed the CAAAN thing. It was like a conversation and I was glad to see someone who was just as excited as me to be at Cornell

When did you guys get emails for the interviews? I live in NYC and we have alot of applicants and did not get an interview email but apparently it doesnt factor in admissions according to the CAAAN website

My mom is a volunteer interviewer for her alma mater and she said itā€™s a random process. The regional chair assigns volunteers to applicants so itā€™s not a big deal if one doesnā€™t get an interview. There are far more applicants than alumni interviewers. I live in NorCal and havenā€™t gotten any email invite yet.

Did Cornell ask for anyoneā€™s first quarter grades? Iā€™ve heard theyā€™ve done that before and my first quarter ends today

@Jlmao200 I didnā€™t get any request from Cornell for my first quarter grades; I donā€™t think Cornell asks for them because they donā€™t mention that under their requirements. I believe they just ask for mid year and final year reports.

so, we submitted everything on IDOC and it still states uploaded but not processed. On the Cornell portal it is all received and initiated. Do they initiate if theyā€™re not interested? Also, do they send diversity letters ahead of time like they do in regular decision?

@lisaol what is a diversity letter?

@lisaol
Yes, all get initiated

@camchar88 Some URM who apply RD learn of their acceptance mid March and are invited to Diversity Day. I was wondering if they did this for ED.

http://admit.cornell.edu/diversity-hosting looks like it happens in April. So I imagine ED students could be invited to that, but probably at the same time of the RD students

Does anyone know if Cornell considers November SAT Subject scores? They come out this week (I think I got an 800 on both Math 2 and Korean) and I really want the admissions people to review my application with the SAT 2 scores. The website says itā€™s not guaranteed so Iā€™m super worried.

@SMoneygang I live in nyc too! I havenā€™t received an email or phone call or anything. Iā€™m legacy so Iā€™m wondering if maybe I wonā€™t be offered one since they are intended to be ā€œinformational,ā€ and I basically have an endless source of information at home? What school are you applying to?
