<p>It seems like every other person on this board has been "admitted early" to Cornell in some form, be it a likely letter, a scholarship announcement, or being invited to some "only for accepted students" event like that diversity thing. I'm getting a little nervous now, how many of these early-admits is Cornell going to release?</p>
<p>50 billion.</p>
<p>Oh okay, whew. Thought it was a large number.</p>
<p>i have no idea, sorry. i do know that every one who gets in does not necessarily get a likely letter, in-fact, most don't get one.
good luck</p>
<p>I got all those three things lol. I'd say about 10-15% of admitted students.</p>
<p>Jeydomz, you're not alone.
the exact same thing is going on in my mind
every time a new email pops up i keep hoping it'd be from cornell
getting nervous >.<
i guess we'll just have to wait together!</p>
<p>Same for me mirihadalillamb</p>
<p>a lot of people on here get likely letters because...this is college confidential. most of the people on this forum are among the best...it's not exactly a good representation of the applicant pool (i assume)</p>
<p>and i have no idea how many they will release.</p>

<p>very true.. not many people get likely letters usually, but this is CC, what do you expect. haha we are ze nerds of the world.. total applicants here all added together would probably be less than 5% of the frehsman applicants at cornell.</p>
<p>yeah I agree. I would love to go to Cornell and I really hope my mail is late or something (/email?).</p>
<p>But to respond to the above, I haven't heard from anyone in my school getting any likely letter (other than those that got in to the land-grant schools), and basically my entire class applied to Cornell.</p>
<p>No word here yet either. Congratulations to those who received likely letters, but it makes me nervous not hearing anything. Do you think these likely letters are being received by the top kids in your high school class?</p>
<p>^^^^ no, just URMs so far.
im not near the smartest person in my class
and even if u are a urm u still can get accepted later, i dont think everyone gets one anyway.</p>
<p>Just got one today, actually, but I think it's a minority thing for me. Honestly, I have yet to get my decisions from just three places. Everywhere else has already told me, all because I'm Hispanic and they sponsor a weekend event. Good luck waiting, I guess it's just cuz you're white and are rich enough not to need aid :D. jk. Good luck on the 31!</p>
<p>I got one and I'm far from a URM.</p>
<p>^^ to arts and sciences?!?!?</p>
<p>Engineering</p>
<p>I got two likely letters, one saying I was admitted and one saying that I got an Irving Tanner Dean's scholarship (and that I would be admitted). Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>i got the tanner dean's scholarship as well for arts and sciences</p>
<p>aww congrats you guys---
but now im filling with mild jealousy and strong self doubt
where is my letter <em>sigh</em></p>
