Cornell Waitlist Class of 2023

@oldfort Haha, I wouldn’t call it much of a traction, but thank you! I will take note of your advice and definitely ask my GC to call. I already asked him to write a LOCI directly to them so hopefully a call would not pester him. But out of curiosity, do they take into consideration of extracurriculars you have succeeded or generally anything you have done since application submission?

Yes, and any additional awards and accomplishments.

@oldfort Question: how would I contact my admission’s officer? I do not know who my admission’s officer was. Were you referring to any general AO, and if you were how would I find their contacts regarding email addresses. I know that if you try calling them, a student representative first picks up.

I emailed my admissions person (I applied to CALS) awhile ago and they told me to just send my additional information through the portal under waitlist correspondence. I followed their instructions, but I see that some people also emailed them instead. Do you think it matters? I’m super anxious so that’s why I’m asking.

It dosen’t matter; you simply followed the instructions they gave out. Regardless of whether you email, upload to the portal, or call the office, you’re showing up on their radar and taking initiative. Plus you already emailed your admissions person, so its not like you didn’t contact them at all. At this point, relax (you deserve to!), you’re doing enough and the final decision is basically out of our hands now

Another note from Cornell:

Thanks for your patience, (name). At this point, Cornell is still determining if additional spaces are available for students on the waiting list. It is possible that some waitlisted students may hear from Cornell as early as this week through the end of the month.

I hope this is helpful,

@CrayonShinChan did they just send u that out of the blue or did u ask them if they were anticipating taking ppl off and that’s what they sent back?

@coninston1 I asked them yesterday night. I called them about 10 minutes ago and they said that they do not specificlly know when they will start taking people off the waitlist but they have indeed started looking at them.

Cornell is my dream school . im so sad I got waitlisted…

Has anyone called admissions yet to see when they will release decisions. I looked at past years threads and some of the colleges should’ve released decisions by now.

@gabrielle0167 read two posts up lol. bruh moment

Guys one of my friends friends just got off the wait list…

Do you know which college?

No but I’m trying to find out now @oldfort

This is usually the week they start notifying students.

Do you think they’ll notify us this week if we got a TO? Or does that usually happen near the end?

@oldfort He just got into ILR

Was he notified through email or phone call and did he write a LOCI?

@teddy10143 do you know if he/she received a phone call or just an email?

Also has anyone heard anything about the Hotel School?
