<p>So I applied to Cornell early decision, but got moved to regular. Do I really stand a chance or is getting moved basically the same as getting rejected? Do you know of any cases of people getting moved and getting in?</p>
<p>If they moved you, i think that means you were close to being accepted, but they decided to compare you with RD applicants. That’s what i believe.</p>
<p>By any chance, are you a Cornell legacy (or do you have any other substantial Cornell “hook”)? I ask only because some excellent schools really endeavor not to deny leagacies (particularly ED applicants), to preclude disgruntled supporter/alumni-parents. Accordingly, they defer in ED and quite possibly waitlist in RD (although, were the applicants not hooked or legacies, my gut suggests they would have been denied in ED). I have no knowledge that Cornell does this, however, it is not uncommon.</p>
<p>If the foregoing does not apply to you, I agree with several other posters who suggest your probability of selection is fundamentally the same as other RD candidates.</p>
