<p>cornell11- nope. the priority mail acceptance letter will just show up in your mailbox one day...which will turn into a VERY happy day :-)</p>
<p>Hey Everyone....I am on The Waitlist for Georgetown College at GU....has anyine heard anything from them/does anyone know anything about when they plan to inform? They claim the mail decisions by May 15...Do all schools call you first if you were accepted?</p>
<p>i don't know anything about georgetown waitlist but goodluck!
no not all colleges call, i heard some email, some use mail.</p>
<p>i still haven't gotten my acceptance letter. (and my status hasn't changed) i was accepted on monday!
im sort of worried. did they not process my file yet?
should i call them?</p>
<p>Cornell11 - You should have your packet by now. Call admission, then ask them to put you through the undergraduate processing center. They should have your file there and they should be able to tell you when your packet was mailed out. At the same time, ask them if they have changed your online status. My D was accepted on Mon, she received her packet on Thu. Her online status was not changed until Fri.</p>
<p>You shouldn't worry. If they have made the offer to you, they are not going to take it away from you. I just don't think Cornell is best when it comes to communication, and their IT (web management) is also not the best. For a school of this calibre, their web pages should be better organized and integrated. They do not have one entry point for all incoming students, and the fact you can't accept/confirm and pay online is a bit backward. Maybe they could get some of those computer science genius to make their site a bit more user friendly.</p>
<p>are they done?
is this it for the waitlistees? :(</p>
<p>Have any of the waitlistees gotten the fin aid package yet?</p>
<p>uesmd, for your information, statistically, Cornell wins 54% of cross-admits with Duke, 64% of cross-admits with Northwestern and 67% of cross-admits with Berkeley. Duke wins 80% of cross-admits with Cornell is simply a false statement.</p>
<p>good catch...lol that made me laugh that he blatantly lied</p>
<p>so Cornell wins most of the cross-admits?</p>
<p>I think Cornell is a great school and I have a lot of respect for its students and alumni, so please don't interpret this as anyway hostile or derogatory.</p>
<p>Perhaps based on non-academic reasons (including weather), the majority of students who are admitted to Duke and Cornell pick Duke. This is hardly scientific, but the Duke admissions departed reported the 80% number in 2003-2004. Given the sensitivity of that info, it's unlikely they would lie about those numbers. Anecdotal data supports that number, especially for non-engineers. </p>
<p>The numbers may have changed in 2006-2007</p>
<p>If you're going to look at that old NY Times article: 1. it's not based on any real data, rather a simulation; 2. it's based on analysis pre-1999; and 3. the statistical methods are suspect. Just because there's a spreadsheet doesn't make it accurate </p>
<p>For someone going to med school, Duke is a preferred choice because of the opportunities collaborating with the medical school. Cornell's med school is in Manhattan and there is limited interaction with Cornell undergrads -- it's a long distance however the undergrads try to slice it.</p>
<p>I was genuinely curious why llabesab16 would take a waitlist spot. If it's financial aid, I thought it was worth having a conversation to find out whether that could be addressed.</p>
<p>I would hope someone wouldn't base a decision on what some other high school kids (who may have different career goals, weather preferences, background experiences, financial considerations) have decided when they had to choose between two schools. They may have made poor choices for themselves. </p>
<p>I know a kid who couldn't decide between the two schools and at the last minute, he chose Duke. Two years later, he transferred to Cornell. But while he was happier at Cornell, his disatisfaction with Duke doesn't mean anything to anyone else. In other words, anecdotes aren't worth much. </p>
<p>You may be right, uesmd, but other than speculation, do you know that Duke students have better undergraduate research opportunities than Cornell students? There are many fields related to medicine (e.g. biology, life sciences) at Cornell which would provide valuable research opportunities.</p>
<p>Daughter got off Cornell and Duke's waitlist, and Cornell wins.</p>
<p>everyone here seems to be hearing news for arts and sciences or engineering. has anyone heard for human ecology? i saw one girl on facebook who got off the waitlist for human ecoogy, but somehow, i don't think she's for real... or maybe she's a special circumstance because she heard really early on. fingers crossed! help me out with a reply if you know anything!</p>
<p>yup, human ecology has definentely taken ppl off the waitlist.
i was accepted last monday.</p>
<p>Anyone got in for CALS AEM?</p>
<p>anyone here from the hotel school?</p>
