<p>Last year, quite a number of ED students who were deferred were admitted rolling decision in mid-February. Don't lose hope. Keep your grades up and submit any additional accomplishments or new material you believe is relevant to your application. Best of luck. Deferred does not mean rejected.</p>
<p>Question: CALS & ILR are rolling admission, right? So when would I find out the decision if I apply Regular Decision?</p>
<p>One more thing…last year the online decision information was updated after at least some of the rolling decisions were made. Most people found out through a very thin envelope that arrived in the mail in mid-February and then weeks later, the acceptance was confirmed on the internet. Some ED applicants did not find out the decision (acceptance, waitlist & denied) until the regular notification date in mid-April.</p>
<p>Last year rolling decisions were received by ED and RD applicants, so I assume the same would be true this year. Also, last year I don’t recall any rejections coming by rolling decision, and there were plenty of applicants who were accepted in April by ILR HOTEL and ALS. If you have applied to one of these schools and do not receive an acceptance by rolling decision that does not mean you will not be accepted in mid-April.</p>
<p>When do they send out rolling decisions?</p>
<p>and by rolling admission, the early I apply, the better. Right?</p>
<p>The first batch of rolling decisions came out last year around February 15. There was at least one more round of rolling decisions after that. I’m not sure if applying earlier means an earlier opportunity for rolling decision.</p>
<p>is rolling only for ilr, or hotel and als also?</p>

<p>Do you know what percentage gets deferred at the Hotel School and what are the chances of getting in with RD? Is it different from other colleges?</p>
<p>Last year rolling admissions took place in ILR HOTEL and ALS. I assume the same is true this year. The number of applicants deferred is different every year and is different in every school. I don’t think that number carries over from year to year. There were some really encouraging stories on CC from each of the schools. Look up last year’s deferral threads.</p>
<p>if ILR was your alternate choice, do they still abide by their policy of not completing rejecting you for ED? and deferring you?</p>
<p>There are so many variables with the alternate choice program. If you were deferred, you could have been deferred by either your primary or alternate choice. In either case, you are released from the binding nature of the early decision program and can (and should) apply to other schools while waiting for what has now become a regular decision. When someone is deferred, it means that they are not yet able to make a decision on your application, but you appear to be a viable candidate. So if you went with an primary and an alternate choice, you could have been deferred from either choice.</p>
<p>Question here! Are deferred people re-evaluated separately from other RD applicants or compared and reviewed in the same pool? Does deferred mean the students will be judged again during the RD round or WITH the RDers?
Hmm I read that adcoms still take deferred students into serious consideration because Cornell was their 1st choice.</p>
<p>Human Ecology seemed to defer a lot of applicants this year… I was deferred and I’m wondering whether I’m actually competitive for RD at Cornell?
It also seems like NY-staters (like me) had a tough time getting admitted to HumEc due to the budget constraints? Is this true?</p>
<p>Yuna- as a NY mom, I have heard many instances of kids being deferred ED and getting the Cornell acceptance in the RD cycle. I truly believe Cornell gives every deferred applicant an extra look- and if all things are equal with other RD candidates, the ED status helps a bit as Cornell was your # 1 choice.
so to all Deferrals - I think you have another chance at admission- but please be prepared to find another wonderful school that you will be happy to attend
Good luck to all.</p>
<p>chandler- I don’t know if you are going to get a clear answer. I can tell you that ILR-Human Ec and Cals has always been extremely competitive for NYS kids, as so many smart NY kids apply. Ya gotta admit, it is one of the best financial bargains for NYr’s around.
So they may have had alot more ED applications to review than in other years due to the economic downturn-- but I haven’t seen the ED# of applications per school and a comparison with other years. That info will probably be available sometime down the road. So I don’t know if ED deferrals were caused by a larger # of kids applying or by budget restraints.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you-</p>
<p>Thanks marny1.
I do know that and that’s one (and definitely not the biggest) reason why I applied ED.
My school sends a lot of kids to Cornell usually, and many of those who went last year had worse stats than I do. So maybe I have some sort of hope. Do you think as a NY-stater applying to HumEc I have a realistic chance of being accepted RD?
I wonder if Cornell’s deferral is essentially a polite rejection or if it is actually because they may very well want to accept you.</p>
<p>all I can add is that I know a # of kids who were admitted during the RD process even after they were ED deferred. So there is still hope.<br>
I don’t know whether it is helpful to send them a letter of “continued interest” stating that Cornell is still your # 1 choice. That may be something to discuss with your guidance counselor. She/he may have more insight into the deferral process at Cornell than others on this board.
Good luck to you.</p>
<p>I was just deferred from ILR, and I was wondering if it were possible to be accepted in mid-February (rolling), without having to submit 1st semester grades…</p>
<p>My 1st semester grades are absolutely atrocious.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That would be a problem.</p>
<p>So, do they check 1st semester grades?</p>
