<p>add the time app "submitted" by cornell thing that is on the page that links to your decision... there is a 600+ post thread about it and people will probably want to know about it...</p>

3

<p>can anyone update me on this time app submitted thing bc i have no clue what it is..and also, at what time tomorrow are they posting decisions?</p>

4

<p>5:00 PM EST.....but it might take a little while for you to log on since nearly 30,000 people will be trying to log on at the same time :-)</p>

<p>good luck!!</p>

5

<p>let's use red for acceptance since it's for cornell</p>

6

<p>and remember to post your submission time</p>

7

<p>whats the submission time??</p>

8

<p>from an accepted ED'er (ILR), i wish all of you tons of luck, and don't get freaked out if the website crashes. During the early round I tried to check my decision around 4:55 and I kept hitting the website every minute until I found out, which wasnt until 6:30 :)</p>

<p>ps. cc crashes too :)</p>

9

<p>submission time:
cornell sent you an email to the page where decisions will be posted. log in. it will say "submitted time: 3/24 ##:##:## etc." there are all sorts of conspiracy theories about what this means and people are curious as to their validity.</p>

10

<p>the time posted on your checking decision account which got every CC'er neurotic for the past week.</p>

11

<p>so this email everyone got was found once they logged into their cornell account??..it wasn't sent to their email address they list with cornell??...bc my page says an email with instructions was sent...i never got it.</p>

12

<p>it was sent by email, presumably to the email address they provided on the commonapp that cornell had sent previous emails to. if you didn't get it and need your PIN etc., I suppose you should call Cornell.</p>

13

<p>when were these emails recieved??....is the PIN all that was given, no further instructions??</p>

14

<p>I got mine the 25th. Text follows.</p>
