<p>friends, i don't think i'm going to make it until tomorrow. i'm definitely maybe going to spontaneously combust by 5:00 tomorrow. and i'm not getting any work done until then. </p>
<p>i think we all need to stay on well into the night tomorrow and cry/celebrate together....deal??</p>
<p>Oh wow, Columbia, Brown, AND Cornell come out at 5 tomorrow?
And yeah, the Dartmouth thread has made my anxiety go from manageable to out of control! What are they, Harvard now? I can only IMAGINE Yale SCEA.</p>
<p>nvm, my countdown was wrong.
it's currently 5:58PM
about 23 hours ! ahhhhhh, rejection here i come.</p>
<p>Just to interject some data about Dartmouth ED vs Cornell: </p>
<p>Last year there were 1428 students who applied ED to Dartmouth and 399 were accepted (28%).</p>
<p>Cornell had 3015 apply ED, and 1101 were accepted (37%). These are 2007-2008 figures (all I could find).</p>
<p>The point I'm making is that Dartmouth is going to proportionally decline more students ED than Cornell will. </p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Is it safe to say that the posted stats on CC are generally stronger than the rest of the applicants?</p>
<p>Could be Mariam. On the other hand, anyone zealous (concerned or confident) could be posting here. CCers as a whole will probably have higher acceptance rates than average because if they care enough to be checking things out. Chances are that they put a lot of time in their essays too, and hopefully their essays reflect this desire to go to Cornell. Who knows, I'd be interested to see what I think has been done on other ivy forums:</p>
<p>People commit to posting their stats and whether they were accepted or not prior to d-day, that way when they all post, you don't have lopsided statistics from only those accepted coming back and posting, and those rejected not coming to the ivy forum anymore.</p>
<p>i ammmmm sooo nervous.. it helps only a teeeny weeny miniscule bit that there are all of youu peeps out there who are freaking out basically as much ( maybe a lil more) as i ammm.. im scared reallly... i can invision myself crying for like days maybe weeks..so what will i be doing till thenn?? go to school tomorrow and think about cornell the whole timeeee..come home after swim practice at like a little after 6 probli.. oh while i think about cornell as i swim fervently under waterrr..honestly, all i can say is that i am afraid..of deferral or rrejection..</p>
<p>everyone here are like omg im gonna get rejected..but honestly i wonder how many of you are not in the top 10 percent of your class, got anything less than a 2200, or have not impressive actvties..any of the above you guyss???? if you can't say "actually i fit the category abov" you have no right to say youre gonnan get rejected...by the way, am i right??PROBLI you guys are all atleast top 10%, ATLEAST 2100,....</p>
<p>right???????? hahahaha
as i seee it, i believe God's in charge of everything. no matter how hard i'll have a hard time acceptng that fact. so you know it could turn out that you guys may not get accepted here but end up going to a MUCH better schoool. years later we may be like, hey im soo glad i got rejcted there cus then i wouldnt have had this amazing opportunity to study at_ _______________nd be the person i am today..
maybe..you dont have to all agreee..but yeahhh...lets just all try really really hard to look on the bright sidde and widen our spectrum...it doesnt seem probably but it is possible...hahah
i think this whole rant was just to myself...a personal reminder?? lol///</p>
<p>We're alll scared and terrified, i hope we get compensated with much greater things for the suffering we're going through (and for some, WILL go through)....</p>
<p>thats itttt</p>
<p>Music people! We need some music!!</p>
<p>Breathe, breathe people! Breathe!!</p>
<p>You can't change reality, only your reaction to reality. Like you said, if it isn't meant to be, you shouldn't be put out, there are plenty of well adjusted people in this world that never attended Cornell.</p>
<p>NOTE THIS WAS POSTED AFTER SHIFU.</p>
<p>I'm just listening to some of my music... and SNL's (Lonely Island) newest song: J*** in My Pants. You can find it on hulu.com or probably youtube. Very funny, very relaxing.</p>
<p>and plenty of people who have gone to cornell either were nutjobs or ended up as screw ups.</p>
<p>I cannot emphasize how much a school only helps your image, it does not Make* your image. </p>
<p>Chillaxxxxxxxx</p>
<p>I'M SHAKING.</p>
<p>literally</p>
<p>I'm flipping out.
I'm not even home most of tomorrow night!
I have to stay after to work on a project for AP Spanish.... ahhh</p>
<p>eh its ok, at least its not RD. we still have one more round to fight if we dont make it through. guys this is hackneyed but its never too late. option 1.) ed
option 2.) rd option 3.) tranfer oprtion 4.) grad school</p>
<p>we have alot of options guys dont worry. may you have the best. and i have a 1840 sat score, 690 chem and 590 math II, but a 5.02 gpa. If i get in than you guys will definetely get in.</p>
<p>I'm under the impression that once you're rejected from Cornell ED, you can't apply again RD.. correct me if I'm wrong.</p>
<p>^correct.

<p>Is anyone having trouble focusing? I have a very important part 1 final tomorrow and then another very important exam in my calc class Friday. PLUS a test and FRQ in my AP Econ class tomorrow and Friday. I can't think straight. My friend just got deferred (Dartmouth ED) and she's so upset. I can't imagine what tomorrow could possibly bring. AAHHH. This stuff should be announced over the weekend, or perhaps on a Friday. At least that way it won't affect our studies <em>too</em> much. a;lsdkjf</p>
<p>you could just not look at you know ;)</p>
<p>Lol.. I dont know how friday would make any difference.. it's 1 more day or 6 less days? But I'm getting a serious case of senioritis</p>
<p>yes, i cannot focus, this week is insane, see the "official results page" for details if ur interested, but my god, not being able to do hw is the least of my worries</p>
