<p>Echo094, I feel for you, man… I was really hoping I’d get in, but alas it wasn’t meant to be… Our GPA’s / class ranks seem to be the only reason I could imagine, but does Cornell not care bout SAT’s at ALL? :/</p>
<p>But anyways, you still have a respectable app, so I think you have a great selection of potential colleges, it’s just one off the list. Gotta stay positive. =]</p>
<p>i still love Cornell!!</p>
<p>This will probably get lost in the all the decisions, but just some advice for those that got flat out rejected.</p>
<p>I got flat out rejected from Cornell during my senior year of high school. I was very disappointed. But I went to my state school, ogt a 4.0, and transferred to Cornell for my last 3 years and graduated at the top of my class. You may not spend 4 years there, but Cornell is probably the easiest elite school to transfer into. So remember that option!</p>

[li] Gender: Male[/li][/ul]Other Factors: Overall I think I was just a solid overall applicant. My ECs weren’t amazing and I didn’t really have any leadership roles but I did devote a significant amount of time to a few sports and activities. Overall I was really happy with my essays and an obscure interest of mine made my supplement relate well to my future major and I really like how it turned out.
General Comments: So excited to be going to Cornell, a dream come true! It feels so good to have this whole college process over with. Cornell 2013!</p>
<p>seems like number of pp get accepted is quite high</p>
<p>Just wondering, which college is the most difficult to get into in Cornell? I’ve seen CAS stated a few times, but I’d like to confirm. </p>
<p>I’m rather surprised at the results. There seems to be quite the handful of people getting deferred or rejected when they have outstanding test scores and grades, and mediocre EC’s (or better). </p>
<p>Does Cornell cater to an interest in the liberal arts? (I’m sorry if this is a stupid question; I never really threw myself into discovering every tidbit there is to know about Cornell ^^;; )</p>
<p>people who get rejected will be less likely to come back here and advertise it, but I wouldn’t doubt above average acceptance from CCers.</p>

[</em>] State or Country: CA, USA
[<em>] School Type: tiny charter school
[</em>] Ethnicity: Chinese (didn’t note)
[li] Gender: F[/li][/ul]Other Factors: I have almost no ECs because my tiny charter school literally has NO sports/student gov/clubs/all that jazz. I was worried about this but explained everything in the ‘other comments’ essay.
General Comments: I am still spazzing out about this. this is the happiest day of my life. I still almost can’t believe it and I’ve pinched myself 5 times…I’ve wanted to go to Cornell since junior high, so this is a big deal for me, and I was just bawling in the computer lab when I found out, hahaa. I hope I wasn’t too obnoxious, but part of me just doesn’t care.</p>

<p>good job, guys!</p>
<p>I can’t quite believe it. I keep going back to the site and checking my decision letter - I’m afraid I’ll wake up. I’ve been working for this day for over two years. </p>
<p>I ordered a sweatshirt from the Cornell online store. A red one. :)</p>
<p>How do we get to the online store!! I want one now lol!!</p>

<p>Tada! I clicked around until I got it narrowed to the clothes section.</p>
<p>anyone knows how much is the percentage of waitlisted people getting admitted later on for Cornell?</p>
<p>I actually recommend IvySport.</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted CoE
No need to post stats; they were by far good enough and no one reads them anyways except for the damn SAT score.
Ill see you all in Ithaca next fall!</p>
