Cornell ED Class of 2022 Discussion Thread

Hii,
I am an International Undergraduate ED applicant. My friend (who also applied ED) got a mail from the financial aid office asking him to submit some forms, whereas I didn’t get any mail.

Do they send a mail to everyone? Have I already been rejected?

@thefish12323

Which country are you applying from and what exactly was the mail asking for ?

@JulieOrringer For Cornell, I think essays are important since they are like tiebreakers among qualified applicants.

@thefish12323 they only do that if there are discrepancies or you’re missing something in the financial aid forms. Financial Aid works separately from admissions, so no, it is not an indicator of acceptance

@dixen454 apparently Cornell will send out an email a few days prior to Monday letting us know how to access the notification online…these last days are stressful…good luck to all!!

What did you all talk about during your interviews?

@BobSagets My interviewer asked me about why i liked Cornell, my extracurriculars, how I felt about Ithaca, and what makes me different from other students.

@BobSagets, why cornell, what makes u good candidate, how committed are you to ur major, do u stand out, leadership qual., ur career ambitions, passion etc all the best! can u share ur stats?

My interviewer didn’t ask me any questions. He just said he was there to inform me of any of questions I had. So, I spent an hour asking all of my questions. I don’t know if me having legacy status has anything to do with it though.

@flagship2000 ya sure! My school as a 100 gpa system so I have a 102 weighted. 1520 sat, 710 chem/bio sat. Top 10% of my class.

@BobSagets What college/major?
