<p>Subjective:
Essays: i love my common app essay, i guess i like my cornell supp. i dont really remember
Teacher Rec #1: by my english teacher, it was OK
Teacher Rec #2: by my science teacher and i read it and she is an idiot in writing. she misspelled the randomest words…But she is the leader of our Key Club, and we have one of the best key clubs in the world and she liked me
Counselor Rec: it probably was mediocre but i didnt read it. i had my fresh/soph counselor write it because my senior counselor is a pervert/idiot. but no one at my school really has a relationship with the counselors…

<p>ConGRatS to ALL!!!</p>
<p>ILR CORNELL</p>
<p>but UNiversity of Chicago Also</p>
<p>If one is going for premed, which school will be best : Cornell, Northwestern, UPenn, or Brown? Why?</p>
<p>7 pages and regular decisions aren’t even out yet. Guessing its all mostly likely letters.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nah, I got my acceptance letter RD march 10. it said “we don’t usually notify applications this early but we wanted to share the exciting news with you” or something along those lines. And it wasn’t likely, it clearly said “you will be offered admission at Cornell.”</p>
<p>thats still a likely letter. unless you’re in a rolling admissions college, your decision is not completely official until the 31st</p>
<p>A letter of recommendation from the hotel Im interning at was given to me this week…is it too late to send it in?? -_-+</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>At this point, decisions are most likely finalized so the letter won’t be of much help unless you are waitlisted.</p>
<p>So many likelies, I wonder if they even have any places left for the rest of us :(</p>
<p>In all reality…few likely letters are extended to applicants. It just seems high b/c a fair number of those who received the letters happen to be members of CC.</p>
<p>^ this is true. 24* kids from my school applied to cornell and only two got the likely letter.</p>
<p>*edit; typo, i typed 14 at first</p>
