<p>ILR GT representing here</p>
<p>Waitlisted!
Do i have preety good chance of getting in? does anyone know the stat?</p>
<p>i think a lot of ppl who dont get in on the waitlist get GT status. So if you can wait a year for Cornell that would be kool...</p>
<p>waitlisted.</p>
<p>personally, i don't understand the whole waitlist process. it seems like we are the "back up" kids in case the ones already accepted decide not to go. all a waitlist does is delay an actual decision by two months. as if our nerves weren't frayed enough the first time around. </p>
<p>i just wish i could get inside the head of a college admissions committee. i don't really understand how certain applicants are picked over others and why they decided not to reject me and not to accept me after looking at my application. sooooo frustrating!</p>
<p>If you really want a shot at getting accepted from the waitlist, you'd have to probably send a letter expressing your continued interest and to update your profile (recent awards or stuff you've been doing). But don't get your hopes up because a lot of people don't get accepted from the waitlist.</p>
<p>Decision: ACCEPTED CAS</p>
<p>ACCEPTED!</p>
<p>congrats guys</p>
<p>Waitlisted.</p>
<p>OMG!! ACCEPTED! I JUST REALIZED I NEVER EVEN VISITED CORNELL!
I have to visit. I saw the visit days for accepted students is 4/5-4/16. Anyone get any further details!</p>
<p>OMG!!! I WON'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP ALL NIGHT I'M SO EXCITED</p>
<p>Ahhhhhhhh waitlistees....what are we to do?</p>
<p>I really , really , really love cornell....(sigh)....</p>
<p>Did anyone get rejected from ILR without GT status?? thanks!</p>
<p>Accepted...College of Arts and Sciences. What a break from my other schools tonight. Rejected form my top two choices Penn and Princeton. So far 1-3 for Ivies.</p>

[li] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: Stats are my friend.[/ul]Other Factors: [/li]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I technically found out a month ago, but was too lazy to post then. That reminds me... I totally haven't started homework yet (who can today?). But Cornell was the first "big" school I got into, so it will always have a special place in my heart :)</p>
<p>Rejected. </p>
<p>Oops. </p>
<p>I re-read my "Why Cornell" essay today. Wrote it an hour before the deadline. That's probably why I was rejected. It was a really shoddy essay. Otherwise, I would've gotten in no prob.</p>
<p>Here's a quicky review:</p>
<p>Program: CALS - Applied Economics & Management
Gender: Female

SAT: 2170
SATII: All 600s, 1 770 in Chinese
GPA: 3.8 UW
Rank: 66 out of 400+ UW
But I take the hardest classes so if weighted both GPA and rank would have risen dramatically.
Extra-Currics:
-Editor of magazine
-Captain of debate team
-Founded a Chinese language & dance school. Currently has 200+ students in 2 locations.
-Manager & principal dancer for a dance group.
-1400+ community service hours

-Taking Arabic lessons
-Fluent in Chinese---lots of Chinese awards & stuff</p>
<p>Still, I can't deny I wasn't shocked. But it's all good :). I got into Dartmouth.</p>
