Cornell RD Class of 2022 Applicant Thread

can someone call and ask if they’re coming today?

They’re closed by now?

definitely closed by now. many of the applicants that I saw that got one were CAS

@BobSagets Were they the ones for the scholarships?

What about the new Milstein Program in Technology and Humanity? Did anyone hear anything about that?

All of the likely letters ive seen come out today are all for CAS and not URM/WIE letters. However, they are def doing those letters. I firmly believe URM/WIE likely letters will come out tomorrow

@pedagogy yes fingers crossed for us :smiley: thank you for the information!

@Inxight but that’s the ivy blackout period, right?

I got the call and asked my representative if it was indicative of any sort of decision and she told me no. :frowning: Not sure how to take this…

Idk cornell diversity likely letters are one of the cornerstones of cornell admissions. and either way they have to send likelies for all hte other colleges in cornell like engineering and cals. I think the blackout will start the 16th. I think that because the dates for the blackout on the CAAN calendar is 15th to 29th. But decisions come out the 28th so I think its in between the 15th and 29th but not including them

Could someone please explain to me what exactly the “ivy blackout” is?

Moreover, on Cornell’s website for diversity housing, they have a whole thing about this years fly in date and all.

"Diversity Hosting is an annual program for select admitted students and participation is by invitation only. This is a limited, one-night, travel expense-paid program. You will have an opportunity to spend one night on campus and get a taste of Cornell’s amazing academic and social life!

This year, Diversity Hosting will be held April 11-30, 2018. Come and experience first-hand Ezra Cornell’s vision of “any person…any study” with other future Cornellians from across the country. We look forward to welcoming you into the Big Red family."

@dannydalt64 The ivy league schools do not communicate with applicants during that period until the admission decisions are released

@dannydalt64 a two week period where Ivies can’t contact the applicants

According to last year’s thread, diversity hosting LL emails were sent on March 15th. It is almost 100% certain that emails will be sent tomorrow (if not throughout tonight).

Just wanted to add that today I received a likely letter via the Tanner Dean’s Scholar Nomination-was totally not expecting it but I’m super happy to have gotten it. Congrats to anyone else who heard back via the same way I did or through the diversity housing likely letter.

congrats to everyone that got in! For those of us still waiting… maybe tomorrow ???

Can anyone get a diversity letter or only certain races/ethnicities?

I’m asian can i be a part of the diversity letter?
