Cornell RD Class of 2022 Applicant Thread

@LondonVall are you just getting it?

and what school? @LondonVall

Got a diversity letter too. I am home sick today and this was completely unexpected!

@Spacebar2018 what school? and what time?

@HERCULES_HERCULES I got it at 7:00am this morning. I only just checked my email. And I applied under engineering. I’m a black female from Texas

I just got the invitation to the Spring Women in Engineering Program. Is this the WIE email?

I actually just received a WIE one a few minutes ago. So I got two letters? Diversity hosting and WIE?

@HERCULES_HERCULES I got it at 8 am for the College of Arts and Sciences. My major is CS. Im a White/Hispanic from New York.

So did anyone get one from human ecology?

nobody has mentioned one @M_51222

Interesting

since so many people get diversity letters is it bad to be an URM and not get one??

@creampuff72 I don’t think so. Only a few URM get one. What school did you apply to? I’ve heard its Cornell University that sends them out, but I’ve only seen people from CAS or COE receive likelies this year. Tbh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone from CALS/Human Ec receive a likely on cc (doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened).

would being mixed race (not URMs) and first generation American give any advantage in the admissions process at all?

I already got rejected to all the schools I applied to except one so I am losing faith in getting an acceptance at one of the schools I really wanted to go to

This whole process has been a disaster for me because I don’t have any family who knows anything about the American applying to college process, my friends all are only applying to local schools without any competition so they don’t know anything either, and my school’s guidance counselors don’t know or help about anything either. I’ve made so many mistakes in this whole process I regret so many things

@keydib there’s lots of factors schools may take into consideration, but none of them more important then the school feeling that the student will be successful in earning a degree… so they won’t just accept someone because of a “hook”, but if all other things are close to equal, then some of the other factors can come into play…

I got a likely letter WIE at 12:34

did you also get the diversity letter? @helpmeasapthx

@SuperGymnast_04 Im CALS and got one!

@flylikethesun nice!! Are you URM by any chance?

@SuperGymnast_04 ok thanks that makes me feel a little better. And I applied to CAS for econ! what about you??
