anxiety leading to depression, thanks cornell

@newyorkrangers2 - CONGRATULATIONS!!! do u mind sharing ur stats, privately or publically?
congratulations to everyone !! Did everyone submit a midterm report ?
I submitted all but one class and I wonder if that could be backing me up
Got my acceptance at 7:05 to college of arts and science in cornell .
Lemme make this fast for y’all :
1360 SAT
4.0 college gpa (but I took a very light course load—no math no science courses; I thought it looked bad because they want some rigor but guess not)( I did take one comp sci into class—python—second semester)
Very good teacher recs
Bad transfer essay; good ‘Why cornell supplement’
3.61 GPA in high school (5 AP classes in junior year and I had 4 unweighted Bs)
I’m ASIAN!!! And a male
Midterm report all As
@axxj12 - TYSM FOR PROVIDING FUTURE TRANSFER STUDENTS UR STATS!
AND CONGRATS!!!
@axxj12 did your portal disappear beforehand?
Some quick stats (copying a template a few comments up):
Accepted to CALS, no transfer option, information science major
1500 SAT
3.7 college gpa (went to large city school, think BU or NYU)
Two professor letter of recs - both of which honestly didn’t know me all that well
I think my essays were really good. Spent a lot of time on them and they were uber-specific to Cornell. If I had to guess, I would say it was what got me in
4.0 GPA in high school (pretty hard course load, also I DID NOT apply to cornell in high school… I feel like this may have been an advantage, as I didn’t have to overcome some barrier of becoming a significantly better candidate in a year)
white male
Midterm report all As, one B+
I’m also from New York State, which idk makes any difference but CALS is a contract college so maybe?
hope this helps. good luck to everyone
@jenniewang7 what’s your EC? did you transfer from cc?
where do you see FA changed to ordered, Did they sent you an email?
Question; has anyone heard back from HumEc? I’m a second time applicant, non-TO and i’m getting really nervous
Rejected from ILR!
If this helps: 4.0 GPA and very strong application (ECs, LORs, and essays)
I have legacy and wrote a very ILR specific essay so honestly who knows!
I was not a transfer guarantee so that may have played against me but its a very random process! I got into both of my safety’s with large scholarships and am waiting for the rest!
For anyone else who got rejected - keep your head high! A rejection doesn’t reflect who you are as a person. We got this!!
My portal did not disappear no. Cornell sends you an email saying there is an update to your application but it’s a link to your portal and then you click status update

@ihavethenuts wow. I have never seen nor heard of such a talented applicant. They truly did not make a mistake with you!
