<p>@mimip21- yes, ED accepted students should get a FA package at the same time, I believe. It’s an estimate based on the 2012 taxes (that’s why we had to submit CSS profile for 2012 in November). HOWEVER, if the parent’s income changes significantly, the final offer could change. But they need to give you something to go on. Some families have consistent incomes, others vary a bit. What happens is decisions are made and then sent to the FA office for $$ packages to be calculated. So, it’s possible decisions are already completed and they are just waiting on FA.</p>
<p>@appplicant and there will probably be another 400 by decision day lol. Last years thread had almost 1,000 posts by December 13, which was their decision date</p>
<p>This week has been so hard! I can’t focus on any of my work anymore, all I can think about is the day we’ll finally know! I can’t believe we’re almost there ahhhh</p>
<p>What’s frustrating about the delays is that a lot of other schools – Yale, Brown, Dartmouth, JHU, Penn, etc. – have already released their decision dates, despite the CA issues.</p>
<p>^^ oh really, when do they find out?
And yeah I mean hopefully we find out by the end of this week. I can’t imagine they wouldn’t have decided by then.</p>
<p>Yale is the 17th, Brown is the 12th (I think), Dartmouth is sometime this week, JHU is the 13th, and Penn is the 16th.</p>
<p>I found the dates confirmed on other CC threads.</p>
<p>i think cornell only requests if you are on the borderline of getting in/getting rejected; my brother was an applicant 2 years ago. </p>
<p>his stats: 93% unweighted in school, 2110 sats, so-so ecs, 4 aps total (including his 3 in his senior year), no legacy, clearly nothing special but not too bad either.</p>
<p>he was likely an applicant that was on the borderline, so cornell requested his grades. at the time he only had a 87% unweighted average for the first marking period, so he got deferred. after the mid year report, he had a 88%, and he was waitlisted, and then he fell to an 86% after the 3rd marking period, and cornell accepted him anyways, so based on this confusing story, ill assume that cornell probably puts a little emphasis on senior grades, but performing awfully senior year probably isn’t the end of the world either. i think at the end of the day, your other grades/scores/essays/activities from 9-11th grade matter more in the big picture. but who knows…</p>
<p>Girls applying to CoE?
Anybody?</p>
<p>maybe if everyone keeps calling they’ll get annoyed and have to announce the decision date…</p>
<p>I’m a black female applying to CoE, and I’m very excited for our decision [hopefully by] next week!</p>
<p>@thisisit I am a female CoE hopeful! I’m not sure how much of a hook it is, but I’ll definitely take what I can get. Do you know how the stats of accepted females compare to those of their male counterparts?</p>
<p>IIRC the female admit rate to CoE is something like 30% vs the ~16% for males.</p>
<p>I may be completely wrong, this is only what I recall reading.</p>
<p>@hockeyeng These stats are old.
But they might give you a fair idea of the acceptance rates.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>@thisisit Thank you! I think I’ve seen this before, I should probably stop obsessively looking up everything cornell-engineering related it’s just going to make waiting these last few days even harder!</p>
<p>Good luck to you as well, hopeful we’ll both get some good news!</p>
<p>I’m with grahamw12 in post #611!</p>
<p>A couple of weeks ago we did not have any " to do list" in our financial aid, now on Sat it appeared that it said that we were missing parent’s w-2 forms. We uploading and sent duplicate copies and then I called the Fin. Office to make sure that they received the forms. They said that there was a discrepancy in my wages and my W-2s. Does this mean that my son will be accepted? I can’t imagine that they would fine comb the financial application of a rejected student .</p>
<p>@BCAmom, D also had a tax form missing that we uploaded yesterday ( student nonfiling form) and I was wondering the same and then I decided there’s really no way to know.</p>
<p>@Renomamma: How are you supposed to upload the tax form?</p>
<p>Edit: Never mind, I think I’ve found it. Is it this page? <a href=“https://admissions.cornell.edu/submit-documents[/url]”>https://admissions.cornell.edu/submit-documents</a></p>
<p>I just discovered we also were missing the student non-filing form. I’m paranoid that he ISN’T accepted, otherwise they’d have alerted us by email that a critical form was missing. Or maybe these forms aren’t that critical.</p>
<p>So guys, which other males are applying to the School of Hotel Administration ED then, I mean, apart from me of course?</p>
