<p>Also, I'm going to assume that while the supplement essay is important, I'm going to logically (or illogically :) ) assume that it matters slightly less for the ED applicants. This is because if you apply ED, they already know that Cornell is your #1 choice. Even if your essay doesn't show it (though people could tell it was my #1 choice from my essay), they still know that you pretty much said "THIS IS MY #1 CHOICE DUE TO MY SIGNATURE UNDER ED, PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF IT." I think that saying you're going ED is evidence enough that you have demonstrated interest in the school, though I guess they do get people who occassionally do ED just for the hell of it, so maybe it does matter as much, but I don't think they're going to look at applicants as people who applied just for the sake of applying - they know you are in all likelihood very serious about attending. Sorry about typing a lot - but hey, it does kind of alleviate the stress when you try to validate your own opinions when waiting for over a month for a decision...</p>
<p>i just realized i didnt refer to CAS in my essay. holy crap.</p>
<p>ME TOO! LOL [not that its a laughing matter] i realized later on i kept writing CORNELL THIS CORNELL THAT so i'm worried too.. hope its okay</p>
<p>lol. i wrote mostly on my intellectual interst. then on the conclusion i wrote somethings about CU and how it would explore my interest. but nothing about CAS specifically. booooo...that sucks</p>
<p>i mentioned a concentration there and study abroad option/ class in eng major.. but nothing again referring specifically to CAS .. yeah its really not good i'm just making myself feel better now =( lol blehh anyhow its over all up to god now .. haha</p>
<p>your situations are so much better than mine.. for my CAS essay I went all over with my evolving understanding of science, my long love for science, what have I done to persue it, what makes it important and exciting, and Finally, I included a sentence saying "I believe Cornell can help me to pursue my interest. Period" lol my application is trashed..</p>
<p>haha. all up to god now. it's okay.</p>
