Interesting scenario...

<p>I recently went checking the online decision link and I discovered a message saying there was no decision for me and that I should contact the admissions office on the 14th at the earliest regarding an update to my application. What does this mean, and has anyone else experienced my situation, past or present?</p>

<p>which college did you apply to?</p>

<p>CALS for AEM (if that’s relevant).</p>

<p>Could some piece of your application be incomplete or missing?</p>

<p>I don’t think so. They should have everything.</p>

<p>I am in the same situation as you and I saw 2 other people on this forum in the same situation as us. I think they just need more time to come to a decision (or we are boarder line, lol) Goodluck!</p>

<p>The question is what type of decision. If they weren’t sure wouldn’t they just defer me?</p>

<p>I think its decisions between this:

  1. accept vs. defer</p>

<p>Or I hope its between that. Cause if they are deciding between defer/reject it would have been defer right? OR maybe they didn’t have enough time to read our apps??</p>

<p>When did you hand in your app?? (i handed mine on 10/30/09)</p>

<p>And if you don’t mind me asking, I am just curious, do you think you’re a likely candidate to get accepted? I want to see if people that got the “Cornell has not made a decision on your early application” are people that are like boarder line etc.</p>

<p>I could get in, but there are some knocks against me. Superscored, I only have a 2030 SAT (with nothing above 700 in a section) score, and unfortunately, NHS and running are the only EC’s I’ve been able to do during my high school (nothing business related >_>) years. It doesn’t hurt that I have one really great teacher recommendation, a leadership position, two formidable essays, and two business electives under my belt.</p>

<p>I actually sent in my application materials on October 29 iirc. I had to resend some FA stuff recently, but I doubt that would have much of an impact on this situation.</p>

<p>I see. I think i am a likely candidate too.</p>

<p>But i just find it weird how they haven’t decided yet. Why make the ED decision day Dec 10?</p>

<p>I hope when we call them, they wont be like wait an other week .</p>

<p>Just a thought…</p>

<p>Did any of you indicate a 2nd choice of college? If so, maybe thee wasn’t enough time for the 2nd choice to review the app & that’s what’s delaying it? </p>

<p>Did you all indicate the same 2nd choice?</p>

<p>I didn’t do alternate admission.</p>

<p>Weird. Now I have this paper letter which says that I’ve been deferred to RD because stuff from my application is apparently missing. I’ve checked the self-service website many times before today and nothing appears to be unreceived except “other” SAT II scores (which I don’t have). What the hell?</p>
