<p>@ nooob, hey do you live in california?</p>
<p>how many international students do they accept?</p>
<p>honestly, i was kind of shocked. i knew several people at Cornell who had āworseā profiles than me who had gotten in RD. </p>
<p>but at that point, i had already seen two other Ivy acceptance emails, so after being shocked for like a second i deleted the email and moved on.</p>
<p>i canāt lie, i really liked their campus, the food, and the strong engineering programā¦ there would have probably been a 50/50 chance of me going there. but at the end of the day, iām happy with where iām going and actually feel kind of fortunate that the decision was made easier by getting rejected from Cornell.</p>
<p>I do not know whether I would have chosen Cornell over Berkeley. Since I got rejected, I am gonna go to Berkeley.</p>
<p>I was on spring break when I heard back, so all my friend were splashing around in the pool when I found out. This was my fourth rejection, so I was pretty much expecting it and it just made me numb. I sort of sat there for about five minutes and then joined my friends out by the pool. It is what it is. </p>
<p>And although getting rejected was not what I wanted, I like to think that it is for the best, right?</p>
<p>Donāt give up hope. Last year all my top choices (Cornell, Notre Dame, Emoryā¦) rejected me.
I applied for transfer admission and am attending Cornell next semester. As will about 500 other transfer students. You still have a chance if you want it.</p>
