Hey guys and gals. Last year in 2015 I was accepted in CAS as a first year spring admit off of the waitlist. At the time I was ecstatic because I was so happy I got in somewhere. After having to attend another college for one semester I grew to like my school but I knew that I would have been happier at Cornell if I had started at Cornell. One semester in however I knew that I liked my college enough that I would be happier if I stayed rather than leave to go to Cornell.
I’m honestly so unhappy with the situation. I don’t really understand what the point of the FYSA is. They told me that I was “equal” to the other non spring admits but it didn’t seem like it. I was above Cornell’s average SAT and GPA for their admitted students by what I would consider a considerable amount so honestly it felt insulting that they told me that I was as good as everyone else but not good enough to come that year. There were about 60 people from CAS and CALS combined. They definitely had room to take us but instead decided to tell us that we weren’t good enough.
Will someone please explain why they did that to me? I would have gone to Cornell as a fall admit and honestly i’m just unhappy with how I feel like I got cheated out of how my life will turn out just because I was good enough to be accepted but not good enough to go.
Stats:
GPA UW: 3.88 W:5.13
Taken 12 AP tests
SAT: 780 Math 730 Reading 710 Writing
If you want to tell me that my stats are trash and that I shouldn’t have been accepted go ahead but I know a lot of other FYSA students that definitely deserved to be accepted for fall.
