<p>ahhh....i just got a call from cornell saying i'm offered a spot of the waitlist!! they are mailing the information and everything on monday! I'M SOOO EXCITED!!! when i saw "cornell university" on the caller id i was sooo pumped!!! i was shaking during the entire phone call!</p>
<p>to the rest of the waitlisted applicants...GOOD LUCK!!! it could happen to you too!!! :-)</p>
<p>hahahaha that's great!!! congrats :)</p>

<p>Congrats! :) Now I bet you'll be partying all weekend long! ;)</p>
<p>Congrats! Have a fab weekend!</p>
<p>thanks everyone!</p>
<p>i applied to college of engineering. i was gonna go to lehigh.</p>
<p>College of engineering? heh, so I'll see ya there soon :)</p>
<p>I got off the waitlist too!!!</p>
<p>YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>When I first got the call I was like, "Huh?" Then when she told me, I couldn't say anything. I'll definitely be wearing red to school on Monday!</p>
<p>wow, they're already taking people off the waitlist? does this usually happen?</p>
<p>I'm extremely excited that I got off the waitlist for the College of Engineering, too! Waitlistees, there's still hope!</p>
<p>So, how's the housing situation since I've been accepted this late in the game? Do I need to live in a cardboard box for my first semester?</p>
<p>Hm, is it only the College of Engineering that has started taking kids off the waiting list?</p>
<p>Maybe their yield went down... And yeah, it seems as if only engineering is so far.</p>
<p>Cornell made the mistake of offering admission to too many people last year and ended up overenrolled by 250. It would make sense that they would try to err in the opposite direction this year, knowing that they can always resort to the waitlist.</p>
<p>thineownself..are u engineering too?? has anyone been taken off the waitlist at arts and sciences?</p>
<p>I'm CALS (biology major)...not sure if all of the colleges have started taking people off, but for those who were admitted, YAY! For those still on the waitlist, there is still hope!</p>
<p>i have a question for those of you who made it off the waitlist: did any of you contact the school regarding your dreams of still attending cornell? i'm just wondering if that method truly works.</p>
<p>Umm, I sent a letter expressing interest...but that was only last week...I'm still going with miracle :) Colleges are all about "yield," and they want to know if you will come if offered admission (thus the phone call before they actually send you the stuff). Telling them that it is your number one choice will definitely help, I think.</p>
<p>My daughter got off CAS. She wrote a letter to them to say she would go if admitted. Her college counselor also sent in her interim grades and an additional recommendation letter. Cornell called her counselor instead of us directly.</p>
<p>so, did anyone NOT go through this process? from what i've heard, the people chosen off the waitlist are picked at random. however, if you express an added interest in the school after being waitlisted, it will work in your favor eventually.</p>
