<p>Hi, has anyone financial to-do list updated yet?</p>
<p>Same here, an extra four days of waiting would be unbearable, haha. At least it’s almost December! </p>
<p>I’ve been vacillating between apathy and anxiety. I keep telling myself that it’s out of our hands now, but the suspense is killing me! It’s hard to believe we’ll find out whether our hard work came to fruition in less than two weeks. What are you guys doing right now to pass the time?</p>
<p>^More college apps! Haha. Anything to take my mind off of the impending Cornell decision…</p>
<p>I’m obsessively reading threads on CC and researching plan B schools. My son is trying to get caught up on all his AP homework, taking advantage of the rare opportunity to sleep in over Thanksgiving break, and successfully avoiding thinking about the future.</p>
<p>I am trying to study for my first term finals but it is mission impossible now. So I always end up watching movies.</p>
<p>anyone else going through bipolar mood swings throughout this waiting period?
one minute im confident the next im ready to bang my head against a wall thinking about a rejection letter</p>
<p>^same here
I think I meet a weird alumni interviewer.
He sent an email to me on monday saying that I needed to call him to schedule a interview,so I called him on Tuesday and he told me that he was busying and he would call me later. However,he never called me. I waited until Friday and sent a text message to him.He said we would have a video chat on sunday.Then I asked what would be the exact time and he never answered me.It is sunday morning here. I’m very anxious because I felt like the interview will happen at any time. Is it appropriate to send a text message and asked the time. I think it may seem annoying since I already sent him one.</p>
<p>I am catching up on reading and online classes and obsessively checking my cornell account. I had a nightmare that I went on and checked and was rejected! D:</p>
<p>Oh definitely. I know that it’s a crapshoot, but there are definitely those people who you think have a high or low chance right? With me, it’s pretty hard to tell. But I try not to keep overanalyzing my stats and thinking about it the decision too much, otherwise it’ll just hurt more if I don’t get in.</p>
<p>I know what you mean. It’ll be so weird when the day is finally here…if its the 12th then itll be my 18th birthday…
i really want to be alone when i open the email too…but i have a feeling my parents will be standing behind my back recording the whole thing -_-</p>
<p>I know exactly what you mean bubbles! I used this website that gives you your (statistical) chances of getting in and mine’s exactly 50% haha. The torture! </p>
<p>Good luck though everyone! :)</p>
<p>The absolute last thing I want is a deferral. More anxious waiting.
Good luck people!</p>
<p>That’s funny. I had a stress dream/nightmare last night as well that I was 2 1/2 hours late for the decision and I couldn’t log in because nobody would give me the password. </p>
<p>It’s weird that these two weeks have come both too soon and not fast enough at the same time…</p>
<p>Just curious… Which website is that?</p>
<p>I have applied to Cornell CAS with early decision, and I am not expecting much from it as I have below average ACT score for cornell, bad ECs, international status, asian race. So should I just not open the results letter or email since I believe my application has ended up in the auto rejection bin?</p>
<p>Oh man… the results come out at around 3:30 AM here… I might have to wait till the morning of December 13th to know how I did.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha, you’re going to feel either really amazing or really crap on your birthday.</p>
<p>yalesmoon- wondering the same as the guy above, what website? Hopefully it will lessen tensions… or increase them :O</p>
<p>^ I believe he’s talking about parchement but there are a couple other websites that provide the service as well.
Neither are particularly accurate; they use data from previous students who have gotten in/been rejected, but for most top colleges they don’t really predict it well enough.</p>
<p>It’s not accurate because they have no idea what your reccs, essays and ECs are like. All of these play a big role and it’s not easy to predict the exact impact it has on your application.</p>
<p>@truust are you talking about me? If so I am extremely nervous because I have nothing expect a predicted grade of 3A* and an A for my A-level, which I got 3As and A for AS-level. This is about a rough conversion of IB 41… My teacher gave me recommendations but idk how good they are. My essay I wrote and re write anything that seemed wrong until it is good. I’m so nervous…</p>
<p>Yes it was parchment! I agree, it doesn’t seem very accurate because it doesn’t take into account which college in cornell you’re applying to and how you fit there, the fact that it’s ED and other things. I just wanted to get an idea of what my chances are with all the other stuff :)</p>
