<p>blackferrari - no i havn't heard anything about the ilr pool this year. I think the number of applications increased slightly but not tremendously like the rest of the university. ILR will always have a very self-selective applicant pool however, and this is reflected with the highest yield rate in the university.</p>
<p>has anyone heard from HE yet? or will answers come on 3/30?</p>

<p>I got waitlisted too for engineering, how does it work. I looked into it and it said their waiting list isnt ranked. So if people are not ranked on the waiting list, then how do they decide who gets in.</p>

[*] Other thoughts: I am mostly interested in Cornell's FALCON program, and I visited the school and the FALCON department last Novemeber. I'm not sure if visiting the school and talking to the FALCON directors influenced the decision at all, but it certainly made me feel better about it. Also, my application wasn't send in until December 30th, if that is at all helpful to anyone. [/ul]</p>
