<p>It’s really never very solid… They just tend to trickle out as they’re ready AFAIK.</p>
<p>And you will get an email, but often times that email comes hours or even a day or so after the decision is posted online- it takes more time to send out emails than it does to tick the accepted box so to speak.</p>

<li><p>Very few applicants will receive a decision in February. Most applicants will receive their decision on the Ivy League common notification date.</p></li>
<li><p>I was under the impression that applicants who do receive a decision before the common date will receive their decision in the mail as decisions cannot be posted online until the common notification date. It’s also been a long time since I applied to Cornell :D</p></li>

<p>i received mine either around the end of feb/beg of march. it was by mail, and i was really freaked out when i first got it because it’s just a simple one page letter and i was always under the impression that small envelopes are bad news. aha it was an awesome surprise :)</p>
<p>Rolling decisions are offered by a small number of undergraduate programs, including ILR, ALS and Hotel. The decisions come out by regular mail and status does not change on line. My understanding is that certain programs are able to release a small number of decisions before the Ivy decision date because they are majors that do not compete with majors at other Ivy League schools. Very few decisions come out before the Ivy decision date - so not receiving your decision does not mean anything.</p>
<p>It was a very small percentage in the past. Not sure what the rationale was for some decisions coming early - from what I recall, the stats were not significantly different than those who were admitted on the Ivy decision date. There have typically been a couple of “cycles” of decisions released often beginning in early March.</p>
<p>Thanks so much CornellGrad… Do u know what percent of ILR applicants hear early? Also, is it possible to get rejected when u get an early letter</p>
