Hi!!! Anyone applied to Animal Science major?
@ThatDriver20 even if you chose Biological Sciences in CALS, you would still be able to enroll in courses in the College of Arts & Sciences (or any college/school in Cornell, for that matter), and take minors or double majors in any college/school in Cornell. The CALS curriculum is more flexible than the CAS curriculum due to less Liberal Arts requirements, so there’s enough freedom to take more sciences courses, or even match the liberal arts courses of a CAS major. The courses required for the major are the exact same regardless.
Does anyone know if your major is in Human Ecology, can you seek a second major in another college and will it be different tuition for NYS resident?
So I just got an email for a CAAAN alum meeting, but I’m really confused because aren’t those over already? Wasn’t the report due on December 1st?
I guess that’s why they postponed the notification date!! Take the chance! @BobSagets
Hi everybody! I’m crazy late to the ED thread game but I was looking for something to do with my anxiety so here I am. Applied to CALS ED w/ Bio Sci major. Anybody else?
Did Cornell postpone the decision date again? Is it not the 11th anymore? Or is it still then.
@IvyWise I am thinking about asking the interviewer
@BobSagets okay. I still think decisions will come out the 11th. Maybe you’re interviewer got an exception or is just doing it for information. Definitely ask though!
Just curious, did anyone get any individual-specific emails from the Financial Aid Office? I have heard those who received such emails have much higher chance than those who did not since the FA send individual-specific emails based on the decisions made by the Admissions Office. Idk… is this true? I am little anxious since I didn’t get any of those emails and decisions coming in like a week
@YummiYummi My mom talked to the FA office about something unrelated on Friday, and they said that the FA office and the admissions board operate completely separately. The FA Office assumes that it is their responsibility to provide a financial aide plan for each student who applies. I think that everything else is just conjecture.
@Bella2018 Thank you for the reply. Hmm… that is interesting, but I have also seen a lot of people, who received their FA email before the decision release date, getting in. I personally don’t expect much from the FA office b/c my family’s income bracket is high, but still more anxious about whether I can get into Cornell or not… haha. We’ll see in a week!
Any chance that they will send out the decisions on December 7th like originally planned if they get through everything early?
Also, do they send out likely letters earlier than the actual decision for ED? Or do they even send likely letters out?
@Bella2018 I applied to CALS with Biological Sciences too!! so nervous rn
@cmustang1 pretty sure that likely letters are not mailed for Early Decision applicants (that’s usually only for Regular Decision to make more applicants interested in attending and boost admissions yield, which is inapplicable to ED). Also, I believe that any physical mail will not precede online Notification.
@YummiYummi this is my post on Nov. 30th:
My mom called the FA office a couple of weeks ago because she had a question about tax forms. The admin who spoke to her said there is NO correlation between doc processing dates and acceptances. FA works independently from Admissions.
I guess my mom and @Bella2018’s mom got the same response from FA.
@LH7reloaded Cool! Did you do an alumni interview at all? My alumnus was a genius who graduated high school at 16 so I was a little intimidated!
Did anyone apply to Animal Science at CALS? I am so sad because I found grammatic errors in the essay…
@datboi17 Thank you for that. I didn’t think they sent the likely letters for ED, but I wasn’t completely sure. Is there any chance they will give out decisions by December 7th instead of December 11th like originally planned?
