Mine was specific to additional remarks I’d made about an income decrease in 2017 so they asked for that tax return which of course my parents haven’t done yet :-S
@Inxight what did the email say? Was it like you’re missing form or something of that nature?
I honestly think them reaching out to you about financial aid is a sign. If it’s not a generic letter but one that is catered to you then it has to mean something. I don’t think Cornell makes a financial aid package for every student who applies, I think it is for the students who are admitted. Imagine if they made a package for all 40000 students that apply? Wouldn’t that be ridiculous? With being said, I think them looking further into your application is a good sign.
@bigchoices2018 I got a financial aid email today as well, reminding us to submit parental w-2 forms. I know it doesn’t mean anything but we can still hope…
Do SHA sent out their decision yesterday (March 1st?) What kind of mail do they use, will it arrive in a few days to Asia?
I didn’t get any such email and I’m missing forms so I mean it could mean something
@atxfather was that for Cornell ED specifically?
I didnt get any email, but at thr same time, i already sent everything in and I dont believe I am missing anything…Idk whether I should read into anything
The admission office works separately from the financial aid office. A missing item is just a missing item… no hidden message.
Did anyone receive a SHA likely letter yet?
Did anyone get an admission letter from ILR yet?
^^i wanna know bc this wait is killing me!!!
Anyone know when SHA results are coming out? I’ve heard that they release their results earlier than the rest of the schools.
@singergirl11 looking at past years people should start receiving likely letters on Monday but not everyone receives them.
For likely letters in general, if I don’t get one does that mean I have no chance of getting in?
@MrElonMusk certainly not, a lot of people say that little applicants receive them which may ring true for other schools, but for Cornell, a good chunk of admitted students receive them.
Over 400 URMs recieve them! A good amount of women in engineering receive them. Outstanding Students for particular scholarships receive them. I would say a good amount of admitted students receive them.
However, not receiving one doesn’t mean you’re not admitted especially if you don’t fit any criteria like being a URM or women in engineering
@sf0617 those weren’t Liklies, those were acceptance to ILR. ILR sends out acceptances a bit early by snail mail.
@HERCULES_HERCULES Thanks. I shall remain hopeful despite no letter yet.
