<p>it seems that there is only a 17% chance of getting into CAS.</p>

2

<p>does that mean u didnt get in?</p>

3

<p>Yeah I was rejected.</p>

4

<p>But... 33% acceptance rate to Engineering. At least one highly competitive applicant was already rejected....</p>

</p>

<p>The acceptance rate is nearly irrelevant in this case, since an applicant who some would consider highly competitive has been rejected.</p>

6

<p>Yes, I agree with the last statement.</p>

<p>Also, the acceptance rate for CAS is purportedly going to be even lower than 17% this year since 200 more people have applied.</p>

7

<p>annnnnnnnnd I've been rejected - CAS.</p>

8

<p>still no decison for me...</p>

9

<p>u go to the place to check application materials and status stuff to see ur decision right, i didnt get rejected but just dont know how to access my decision <a href="https://admissions.cornell.edu/selfservice/login.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://admissions.cornell.edu/selfservice/login.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

10

<p>When the decision comes there will be a new link on your status page that says sth like "Check your decision".</p>

11

<p>i just noticed, nowhere in the cornell application is there a place to enter ur high schoo extra cirriculars, um, do they just not want to see it, or do we have to give it to them ourselves</p>

<p>i think i'm gona call tomorrow to see if its too late to like send them a "activity sheet". </p>

<p>actually, i didnt send a single activity sheet to any transfer school, i did w/ like freshmean applications, is this "natural"</p>

<p>also, do u think the fact that my cousin went to cornell is worth mentioning?</p>

</p>

<p>High School GPA: 2.7
College GPA 4.0 at 61 Credits
SAT I: 1580
SAT Writing: 800
Essay: Wrote a killer personal statement about how I missed most of 9th and 10th grade battling depression (hence my low GPA), but then worked on a political campaign and completed high school strong.
ECs: Badass stuff. Wrote an Op-Ed in the Washington Times. An Op-Ed in the Post, NYT, or Wall Street Journal probably likely before the end of the year.</p>

<p>Cornell is TEH GHEY.</p>

<p>EDIT:</p>

<p>I forgot to mention that I am also pretty good looking. I could lose maybe like 10 lbs, but still a hottie non the less: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/matm1%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.myspace.com/matm1&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>Lol. Did you send a picture?</p>

<p>maybe they thought your fat friend was you lol</p>

and it was a picture next to my really fat friend. I sent that picture on purpose in hopes that it would make me look even better. Maybe those bastards were onto my trickery.

<p>I find this statement a bit shocking. Poor friend.</p>
