Financial aid update- my DD still had initiated listed on her account under student nonfiler. Everything else was clear. I submitted it twice. I just called and they said I forgot to put a 0 as the total. The lady put me on hold to ask if she could manually add the 0 and was told she could not and I had to resubmit it. I asked if I would have been notified if I hadn’t called and she said that they only started clearing the lists last week and processing my daughter’s today. What do you think that means?
@dragonmom3. It does not allow you to enter siblings anywhere.
@lisaol i think this is why they’ve delayed notifications, either they were delayed, or swamped by applications. I’ve spent what feels like too much time trying to read into how they process the financial aid documents… all that’s done is make us anxious 
either the FA office has the list of students not accepted, and they marked them “completed” right away, because why do all that math for students not going… or do they process the accepted students first, or do they actually fully process all the students FA docs regardless of the Admissions decision, and it’s just an alphabetical (or some other sort)
UMich, University of Minnesota, BU, Tufts, Brandeis, Harvard (lol), Vanderbilt (lol), UNC Chapel Hill, CU Boulder, UW Madison. Yes, I went overboard, no, I don’t need someone else to tell me that.
@lisaol On the Family tab of the CA it asks for the info about parent and siblings, including educational institution and degree received.
Some schools have a special legacy question and most others probably just use the info from the family section.

Is anyone else doing psych/linguistics/CogSci??
Financial aid is a random process. Stop looking into it and making yourself nervous.
@bipedalhumanoid I’m hoping to do computational linguistics (computer science+linguistics). Cornell has a pretty amazing linguistics department.
Plus, documents moved from initiated just means they have them and are processed. Not that they had looked at any of it. Relax everyone.

Also trying to figure out how many Dyson people are in this thread. So far ive found 6 (including myself). Anyone else?
My DD’s school received the following info from Cornell Admissions which was forwarded to parents. Here are the excerpts from that email
Greetings from Cornell University! In this e-newsletter we will cover: Cornell’s early decision notification date; deferral requests from admitted students; Cornell’s regular decision admission and financial aid application deadlines; undocumented students and DACA status; summer college at Cornell; and Cornell University’s winter break closure.
Our admission committees across all seven colleges and schools are in the throes of another challenging early decision selection process. This year we received just over 6,300 applications for early decision admission, which is slightly more than a 15% increase over last year’s early decision pool. Students will be notified of their decision online on Monday, December 11 at 7 pm (EST). Students will receive an email a few days before notification on how to go about obtaining their online decision.
God help us all.
Michigan, UVA, Baylor (already accepted w/ scholarship), Boston U, Southern Cal, Vanderbilt, and maybe some Ivies because why not
@stwide19 do all schools get these letters or your school generally has a lot of students accepted to Cornell? This letter made me so nervous!
so early decision this year looks to be 21% acceptance assuming they select around 1350, which is what I recall hearing at an info session a while back… tough odds good luck everyone
