Cornell ED Class of 2023 Discussion Thread

I applied ED to ILR and didn’t get an alumni interview. Does that mean anything or is it random? I’ve read both answers online. I’m just nervous because I know that a few kids from my school have gotten interviews

Oops just read earlier posts on this thread never mind

@MyGPAIsAnL we had to submit our actual tax returns and supporting documents, 1099s and some other items to idoc. It just depends what they ask for. It can be different for everyone.

Did some of the items on the financial checklist disappear for you guys?

anyone else selected for federal verification?

If you got selected for federal verification, you have to prove that your numbers on Fafsa are accurate. About 30% of people get selected each year. Make sure any errors or inaccuracies on your original Fafsa are now corrected.

If there are some discrepencies on your financial aid, would that affect admission decisions?

humanec seems popular this year am i wrong

Why do you think its “popular” this year as opposed to others?

I called and they said mid-December? What did you ask that made them say December 10th? Is that 100% the day the decisions are releasing? thanks so much

Guys chill a bit they email you days ahead to remind you how to access your account. Give the Admissions office a break

@all4lax @soulsearching129 I called admissions yesterday and they told me 12/10 at 7:00pm.

Ok so it will definitely be on December 10th then? @jftb1020

Why do you all care so much about decisions? As in, you all know you’re getting the soon. Chill

All - last year admissions was a set date of December 7, then they had some power outages, and had to change it to December 11, so really, anything can happen. Everyone will get an email about 3 days beforehand with the notification of the time and date and link for when they can check. It’s soon either way.

Also @soulsearching129 I also though Human Ec seemed popular this year, but it could just be the people on this thread, who really knows, until Cornell posts their demographics?

I’ve seen people with perfect stats not get in, and people with imperfect stats get in, so they look at everything. So no one is a sure thing!

Last year, applicants were given the date of Dec. 7 or 8, then it got changed to Dec. 11, or something like that, so while some Admissions staff may be telling people one date (or not, depending on who you get), we will not know 100% until we get the actual email from Admissions telling us the date. The CALS admissions person I got yesterday afternoon said she couldn’t confirm an exact date of decision release, to wait until the official ED date email is sent, and 1st quarter grades are not required. I did not send mine because they’re not all ready and GC said not to send them incomplete. He said the Q1 grades of last year’s ED applicant to CALS from my HS were not sent either and it didn’t seem to impact anything because that person was accepted without the 1stQ grades - again, this was CALS. I hope that puts those who were worried at ease.

is it too late to upload supplemental information and other stuff onto the application portal? I know it said recommended by November 15 but is it still too late?

Did some of the items on the financial checklist disappear for anyone? I now have 2 items left.

I have one item left.

I’m also applying to HumEc but as a HBHS major!!

@ejn415627 What are your stats? If you mind sharing! I also applied to HumEc as HBHS major
