****Cornell University Class of 2021 Regular Decision Thread****

i am an african american female admitted into CALS with an anticipated major in biological engineering!! :slight_smile:

@nikki21 - awesome!

@destiny214457 did you get a diversity letter or a WIE letter?

are these mailed or on portal?

Did any Asians get a likely letter?

I GOT A LIKELY LETTER!!! Literally opened the e-mail thinking it was going to be info on Cornell. I even told my sister, “I’d get excited, but I know I’m not getting a likely letter.” And then I read the “because you will be admitted to Cornell University’s Class of 2021” and my sister and I shrieked for like 5 min. I’m so happy! Anyway, stats.

Major: Health, Human Biology, and Society (School: Human Ecology)
Race: Hispanic
Gender: Female

If I had to guess, I’d bet my essay was behind the likely letter. I thought it was really strong, and my stats aren’t that good (for a Cornell likely letter).

My daughter received the email today even though she had already been accepted. She is in ILR.

@allima Yes, it looks like Human Ecology does do likely letters because I got one and that’s the college I applied to.

do all likelies come out at the same time

I got a likely for women in engineering!!!

anyone with a likely from AAP!!! CONGRATS TO ALL ACCEPTED STUDENTS!

@realityhitshard congrats ! URM/Race ?
Have any asians/south asians received any likelies yet?

@EmpirestateDad I’m Asian, so not URM, but my letter is for women in engineering

I CANT BELIEVE IM SAYING THIS BUT I GOT A LIKELY LETTER IM CRYING

JUST GOT A WOMEN IN ENGINEERING LIKELY LETTER. Screw Washington university and their wait-list I’m going to Cornell!!!

do they all come out at the same time? will some come out tomorrow? does not getting one mean you’re rejected?

@allima I’m wondering those things too!! I was really hoping for a likely.

@batepapo same!! Literally a minute after I checked my Wash U decision, I got an email from Cornell!!

this might be a silly question but how soon would the acceptance letter in the mail come if I received a likely letter? Do likely letters mean I got in?

@ryannk hahaha Ithica is way cooler than Missouri.
