<p>@Lavy27: I think the results come out on the 29th. We’ll probably get an e-mail from Cornell on the 28th (with all of the instructions etc.).</p>
<p>@lolToasty: Yes, this is rather early, but I thought that it would be best to start this thread at this stage because quite a few people have gotten likely letters from ILR and the Hotel School.</p>
<p>haha, i think @Nasa26 ^ has some hilarious posts inlcuding one a few years ago in which he considered stating on his application that he “had royal blood.” so im guessing his posts should be taken with a grain o salt :)</p>
<p>@scorpions I think it is an email that came later. Cormom15 has a daughter attending cornell now so I’m guessing that the link she posted is from last years decisions. My guess is that they will be sending an email out the week of admissions with a personalized PIN for everyone to use to check out whether they were accepted or not. Just a theory though…</p>
