If this was official, wouldn’t it have been verified by the admissions office? Why have they not done so?
No clue. But this is straight from the official CAAAN site though.
Everything I have read states we will get an email either Monday or Tuesday 12/5 or 12/6 with instructions on logging in 12/8. So if that comes I guess we’ll know if the 8th is correct. LOL. Also, one of those Ivy prep companies, forget which one, also posted it would be on the 8th. Even if it’s pushed to the 15th, there’s nothing we can do about it now.
@cotopaxi Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source on the email part of what you said?
@peskid it’s been said throughout the Cornell threads. The main source was somewhere in a thread from last years class. And as they were counting down the days they kept referring to the email instructions they received a few days before. I’m not going to look back through it but it’s in the 2020 threads if you want to search.
@peskid We have also talked about this in our 2021 ED thread pretty recently, so check that one!
@cotopaxi @lulu207 Found it, thanks. If it is indeed December 8, 4 days to go. ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN
Also , im in touch with someone who got in last year via ED and she heard back right around this time, a little earlier then other ivys and on a thursday. she says she doesn’t remember the exact date though somewhere around the 10th sounds about right to her.
For some reason, December 8th at 5 PM sticks out in my head. That’s what I have my countdown clock set to!
@skidog99 Yeah same. Except for me Dec 8 5PM EST translates to Dec 9 7.30 AM, so it’s just my normal morning alarm 
Is it a sure thing that we will get an email on 12/5 or 12/6? So if we don’t get an email we didn’t get in?
last year it was Dec 10. it is almost always the first Thursday in december. you will receive an email 2-3 days before confirming decisions are coming out, and another email the morning of the decision to set up your password and such
Did anyone receive an email yet? It’s already 12/6–two days before the supposed decisions date…
I got this email around 9:30 AM.
Dear *****:
As we near the end of early decision application review for Cornell’s Class of 2021, we would like to share with you important information regarding admission decision notification.
You will be able to view your admission decision online on Thursday, December 8, beginning at 5 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time). You will receive an email on Thursday, with instructions on how to view your decision.
Anyone else get the email that Cornell ED emails coming this Thursday at 5pm?
I also got an email that said what @KellenHanson said.
My son got the same email yesterday. Tomorrow it is!
