Safe to assume nobody will be offered admission over the weekend?
There have been cases where people get off the waitlist during the 2nd week of May. However, Iām so drained from this process and I donāt want to get my hopes up now
@benandjerrys101 Iām pretty sure admissions office is not open on the weekend
Iām not gonna lie I havenāt read all 34 pages of this thread so this mightve already been covered. For CAS potentials, how are yall feeling about the possibility of being accepted for the spring semester?
If you mean the likelihood of us being accepted for the spring semester, I have no idea. Do you happen to know if thatās a thing that happens a lot for Cornell?
If you mean just our general feeling behind it, I think most of us will agree that by then, we would have already been set on another school. But personally, I would consider it; maybe we could transfer after a semester of community college in order to not get too behind credits-wise.
Guys, I wrote a song about Cornell A&S admissions:
Overthinkingās
Got me simping
Messing with my heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddd
Tell me what you hate about me
Whatever it is Iām sorry
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I know I can be dramatic
But you emailed us and said we had it
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Iām coming to terms with a broken heart
I guess that sometimes good things fall apart
Hey I was placed on the waitlist back in March for the CAS and I wanted to know if anyone else has gotten a decision yet here in May? Iām still waiting
Yup, a bunch of people already have heard back! You should probably read through this thread, itāll give you the information youāre looking for.
Was there a wave for CALS april 23rd?
@Lordtoiletpaper Not that anyone here knows of. It seems CALS has not done anything so far.
Thats so wierd, do you think they are holding out for a bigger wave later?
@Lordtoiletpaper I have no idea. Apparently 2/3 or something students are instate at CALS (since its a statutory college) according to a previous comment I read in this thread, so it might be that they donāt need to get that many people off the waitlist. However, whatās weird to me is that CALS isnāt really responding to calls/emails (I sent them an email 4 weeks ago and they never responded, and I Sent them an email a week ago and they also havenāt responded). I have a feeling that they may have possibly postponed operations for a while/severely reduced operations due to the coronavirus. However, this is just my speculation. If this speculation is true, however, it might be possible for them to do something bigger later on. Again, this is just speculation.
Itās long past May 1. If they know they need to take off the waitlist, why would they delay doing so and risk losing the WL students they want?
Anybody hear back from HumanEc yet? Do we think there will be more calls tomorrow?
Just a theory (also posted this on the Columbia thread lol): the deadline to defer enrollment (in other words opt to take a gap year) is in June. Iām guessing they took a small amount of people in the first few waves to make sure they donāt over admit but will accept a larger wave once they know how many people will take a gap year and how many spots will open up.
has anyone sent any emails to CAS and/or heard back lately?
I sent an email early last week. No response.
I sent an email to CALS and the larger admissions office email and they responded to me this morning saying that any updates should be uploaded to the portal. CALS didnāt respond though.
@cooper1014 did you send them a continued interest or was it an actual update?
I sent a continued interest that highlighted the fact that I was still interested even though itās past may 1.
