@maeee09 How were you able to contact Cornell? Whenever I called, it keeps going to an automated system even though its within hours.
@genieforuboi I actually called them last month before they got busy, and it’s best to just ask an advisor or counselor to email them a statement in behalf of you to confirm your eligibility. Stanford asks for the same thing to have an advisor confirm it before accepting the waiver. Other colleges are a lot more lenient with fee waivers tho.
@Mastodon97 Mine is complete. There is a “W” for my midterm report though since I’m not currently enrolled in any classes.
@jinzo000, does yours say “forwarded to offices ready for review”?
@Tilltheend Nope. Just has check marks next to each requirement (except for SAT scores since I didn’t submit those). Assuming yours says that?
My midterm report is on its way and the SAT/ACT waiver isn’t processed yet. I tried to request the waiver but just received a standard e-mail response. I’m not sure how to request it honestly. Does anyone know how?
Do you guys think a 2.6 GPA from MVCC (Me) would have been accepted?
@MysteriousDude I haven’t seen anything about an SAT/ACT waiver. I applied to CALS, and they don’t require scores.
@MysteriousDude For the test scores, Why do you have to request anything at all? Its not required so you don’t have to send it anyways.
Just paranoid and making sure @Mastodon97 lol
Also, because my application still has to be completed, I assume my decision won’t come out till later and not mid-April/May?
Is there anyone applying from the UK?
@MysteriousDude That sounds about right, mine won’t be complete either until the end of March.
@NASA2014 Hard to say, all I know for sure is that when Cornell says that they look at you holistically they actually mean it.
When you guys received your applicant ID and logged on to the portal for the first time, did you already have your academic instructor evaluation checked off on the application status checklist? It says on my common app that my instructor has already started it and he emailed me that it was done, but it’s not checked off on my applicant portal.
Also, is there a deadline for the submission of everything on the checklist? What happens if I’ve submitted all of them before the deadline but they don’t get processed and checked off before then?
@jinzo000, no, just wanna ask
@ILRTransfer3 My academic evaluation is checked off on the Cornell Portal, however I submitted the Common App with my recs completed from my instructor. I know that when your instructor actually completes the evaluation it is automatically updated on the Common App to “completed” in the area where it says “started”. And when the College receives it mine changed to “downloaded”. I’d ask your instructor to make sure he actually completed it correctly because it should show up as completed on the common app.
Well, the rule of thumb for the submission deadline is the earlier the better. Besides the Common App there is no real deadline for the materials, but you want to get your stuff in asap so that they look at it quicker which will always play in your favor. I know that ILR admissions said they don’t even look at your app until it is completed. One of my material that I sent in 3 weeks ago still isn’t checked off, and I contacted ILR today and they told me not to worry about it because their database is still updating with huge amounts of info.
@Mastodon97 Thanks man, appreciate the response. Just out of curiosity, how long did it take for each of your materials to get checked off from the time you submitted it? The only thing I have checked off right now other than my application and supplement is my mid-term report, which took about 4 business days after I uploaded it online.
@ILRTransfer3 The materials I submitted were checked off after around two weeks. Also, welcome to the thread! Would you mind sharing your stats?
@ILRTransfer3 A couple of days at the most after I gained access to the portal, I only have one thing unchecked that I sent. Again, I wouldn’t worry too much about it, it takes time for everything to be updated.
