Official Cornell Early Decision Class of 2018

<p>though probably they will send us an email in 3-5 days and give the instructions to view the decision… agh… this process is killing me. i don’t want to wait anymore.</p>

<p>am nervous…application from kenya…i guess my sat scores will kill my application</p>

<p>What is there to do while waiting for 11 days??? :(</p>

<p>Well now that we’re waiting why don’t we share where else we’re applying in the chance that we don’t get accepted to Cornell? And what’s your second choice?</p>

<p>my status isn’t updated yet… WHYYYYY maybe i’m not accepted</p>

<p>My 2nd choice is uchicago! I’m also applying to UC Berkeley, JHU, NYU, duke (haha), Boston, FSU and UF. I didn’t plan on that many but collegeboard sent me 8 fee waivers I thought why not?
Is anyone else majoring in nutrition or food science? Or env science?</p>

<p>@yalesoon I got 8 fee waivers from collegeboard too. But I don’t know how to use it, cause some schools still ask you to pay the application fee and there is so place at the common app to indicate I have the fee wavier.</p>

<p>Did anyone’s status just change to the old one when it said they will notify us in mid December?</p>

<p>@sunshine it took me forever to figure it out too. I just checked “yes” on the common app to the question that asks if I qualify for a fee waiver, showed them to my counselor and he approved it, and mailed the waivers in. All the schools accepted them!</p>

<p>whoa what</p>

<p>the message saying that we would receive decisions on the 16th is gone!</p>

<p>@yalesoon I received a mail from collegeboard several days earlier and it said we can only use it if we feel the application fee pose a barrier. I don’t understand the whole fee wavier thing at all. Have you ever received any mail like that?</p>

<p>I finally got the update! CALS applicant from NY!!!</p>

<p>@sunshine821 It sounds like you would need your Guidance Counselor to confirm that application fees would pose a financial barrier (for examples see [FAQs</a> for Application Fee Waiver Form](<a href=“http://www.nacacnet.org/studentinfo/feewaiver/Pages/default.aspx]FAQs”>http://www.nacacnet.org/studentinfo/feewaiver/Pages/default.aspx)). If you might qualify, don’t be shy to get your GC to help you!</p>

<p>I think bc it’s on Cornell’s site it doesn’t have to be on our status check anymore</p>

<p>Hey, is anyone applying to HumEc? :)</p>

<p>just checked my portal and the message about decisions coming out on the 16th is still there</p>

<p>Mine goes back to normal. Will anyone apply to ED2 if you don’t get chance in Cornell?</p>

<p>@sunshine no I didn’t receive that but I did read that somewhere. My counselor approved them because the waivers allowed me to apply to more schools that I could afford to, even though technically I don’t meet the income/financial requirements</p>

<p>@yalesoon thank you for your explanation. That makes much more sense to me now.</p>

<p>Does Cornell give out less financial aid to early decision applicants?</p>
