<p>hey guys i just got into cornell and im excited as heck, and i dont know if this question has been asked already but is there a deadline for this?</p>
<p>im hoping its later in the year cus i really want to know if i got into rice for interim decision.. just for curiosity. thanks. </p>
<p>im in for engineering by the way, good job to acceptees and good luck to deferred guys</p>
<p>hey i also applied to rice for interim decision.</p>
<p>but you must withdraw once they send you your official notification because not withdrawing from rice will knock someone out or waitlist someone who really wants to go to rice. and that's not fair.</p>
<p>You withdraw them as soon as possible. You're taking the spot of another student, stop being selfish just for curiosity.</p>
<p>calling that selfish when i dont even know yet if im being considered for admission is a little harsh... and i didnt think of it from rice's point of view since im obviously preoccupied with freaking out about cornell</p>
<p>not necessarily rice's point of view, but another student who wants to go to rice. you got in to cornell, and good job for that, but if you need more ego boosters aside from an ivy league school than thats pretty pathetic if you ask me.</p>
<p>I was thinking about it from the point of view of an applicant whose first choice school is Rice.</p>
<p>guys, chill out!!! he just wants to know, he never said that he was PURPOSELY and maliciously trying to take someone elses spot by waiting. he was just curious about what the rules were!! i guess i would be curious about other schools too, but it doesnt matter cause i didnt get into cornell anyway. but yeah, it would be mean to question someone else's spot by keeping your mouth shut.</p>
<p>Chill out? I was clarifying that he should withdraw his apps now and giving him a good reason to.</p>
<p>yeah, i realize that, but i think that you guys kind of jumped on him and accused him just for asking an innocent question.</p>
<p>Okay, maybe you're right, but he should still withdraw that application asap.</p>
<p>alright alright i actually did intend to ruin the life of a rice applicant just for kicks. </p>
<p>kidding of course... thanks orca for backing me up. and chill out guys i will withdraw those apps, and maybe save a ricer's life.</p>
<p>but ruining lives for kicks is so much fun...</p>
<p>You should withdraw apps ASAP. That way they will know not to include you in their decisions, and will be able to offer a student your space (if you were to be accepted) If you were offered admissions already anywhere, you should decline that ASAP too.</p>
<p>I just made a generic email thanking the schools for their consideration, and included my full name and SSN, asking them to withdraw my app.</p>
<p>But don't you have to wait till you get the official letter before withdrawing everything else? what if the online decision and the letter contradict?</p>
<p>Yes, you should wait for your official decision; our mistake for assuming that was understood. Once you have been officially accepted to Cornell, then withdraw.</p>
<p>People got upset because it wouldn't be fair to do what you were suggesting you might do, even though you suggested it innocently. But now that you see it from the point of another student who wants to attend, I'm sure you understand our semi-harsh response. Get ready to enjoy Cornell.</p>
<p>I still love how when people ask where I go to college and I say Cornell, I get "daaaamn, you're smart" or "we've got a smartie here" or "woow, i'd never get in there" and all that stuff. It's not quite the effect of the H-bomb (saying you attend(ed) Harvard), but I've got to say, we've got a bit of a C-Bomb. It actually happened to me again in the jewelery store today as I was getting my new watch fitted. :D:D:D</p>
<p>yea, i haven't even started cornell yet and i've gotten the c-bomb a lot. like: "hey mr. cornell" or "cornellboy" or " ivynell".</p>
<p>holla' heheh. don't you love it? I'm not saying i'm a prestige whore or need an ego boost, but it does feel nice.</p>
<p>yea i have to agree. although at times, i wish people could go back and call my name instead. hahaha</p>
<p>btw, how long did it take for cornell to send out the certificates of acceptance?</p>
<p>i don't recall exactly, but it was fairly soon, definitely before christmas.</p>
<p>okay ... i only got my deposit form today.</p>
