likely letter!

<p>asadliqat thanks yous the tons man!
seriously very relieved now.
and yes hearty congratulations to you as well</p>

<p>fooda, you actually called them? Didn't you know about the likely letter system? Wow, congrats asa!!! I know exactly how you're feeling right now. I feel so happy, ^^. </p>

<p>Yea as I said Stuck, I don't remember seeing an engineer applicant with a likely letter in this thread. But as we can see from your friend, they apparently do send them out to eng kids. She/he must be pretty excited now?</p>

<p>Thanks!!! :)</p>

<p>That makes it two relieved Cornell Likely-admits from the Subcontinent! </p>

<p>Btw, I have 7 A's in my A Levels too... There are only three of us here in Islamabad, and it gets kinda lonely... A pleasure to know one more! What does India/Singapore mean btw? That you're from India but live in Singapore?</p>

<p>yes pear i did.
stupid me wanted to hear the words "you're in."
but instead what i heard was your admission is a possibility.
haha</p>

<p>yup...
and yes you could make that "two very relieved"</p>

<p>Thanks, pearfire! the name is Asad, btw :P
I feel awesome too!!!! But I'm worried about the financial aid coz I won't be able to attend without a generous aid offer... Last year, a kid from my school got in but didn't get aid... But then, there was one who did so yeah i'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!</p>

<p>haha...same here..
which is why i was so shocked i got a likely. i asked for a VERY generous aid package</p>

<p>I'm surprised because my Cornell college interest essay was crap! I wrote it on the very last night (i KNOW that hurts, but still i do that) and you can imagine how those turn out to be. Plus my interview, well, the alum called me on a particulatly lazy sunday afternoon when i was just about to doze off to sleep on my living room couch, and asked if she could have a few minutes of my time. Never really got the chance to wake up lol...</p>

<p>haha...i didn't even have an interview!
and this is turning out to be pretty much like just the two of us talking.
not that i mind or anything, but it IS a public forum...
(:))</p>

<p>Lol i see nothing wrong in celebrating the likely-letter! If others have more important stuff to do, then so be it! </p>

<p>Which reminds me, I have to prepare for the AS Psychology class that I'm supposed to teach in the morning!! :S Ekh, the world cup is messing up my sleep cycle!!</p>

<p>Alright, I'll join you guys then, ^^. Sorry Asad, I'll keep this in mind. We'll have to learn lots of new names this fall, haha. I didn't have an interview, either, but I think my Why Cornell essay was pretty good and sincere. Probably the only reason why I got in.</p>

<p>I got a 'likely letter' and i'm an international (it was actually an email!), from the UK infact. Fairly bog-standard good student, and i'm not a URM or anything (except perhaps being from England... hehe) I guess I'm pretty happy, nice to know somewhere wants me.</p>

<p>If i appear to be blabbing on and on, that's only because its 2 in the night here in Pakistan, im appearing offline on my msn and am not logged into orkut... It is in this situation that I got my likely letter, have to share it now lol!!</p>

<p>haha, but australia was pretty brilliant today.
not for a second did i imagine that they'd score a 334. and yes, i'm off to bed as well...have to do up the house for my brother's birthday party..</p>

<p>Congratulations LadyLou...that is exactly what all of us have been celebrating!</p>

<p>and now i'm a Junior Member as well..
and asad you're on orkut?
i've already plastered mine on orkut...
:)</p>

<p>Congrats, LadyLou! I think the internationals are all getting e-mails. </p>

<p>And pearfire, no problem at all... You certainly fared better than those who've known me for months and utter the occassional 'Saad'</p>

<p>Say Happy Birthday to your brother for me lol... From the Pakistani who got likely :p</p>

<p>And yes, I'm on orkut... why dont you add me? Then we can take our likely-letter celebration to orkut! <a href="http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=8574131426707023551%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=8574131426707023551&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Wow, so apparently URMs AND international students are getting likely letters.</p>

<p>Damn, I'm neither!</p>

<p>Hey pear, I think I got in because of my Cornell essay as well. i wrote it like a play. i thought it was pretty cool if i may say so myself :)</p>
