<p>Pretty good essays
Focused EC's (relevant work experience/community service things, etc.)</p>

<p>Quite happy, but still need FinAid estimate, my parents are telling me that I can't attend Cornell Days (I live in CA), and I retore a meniscus in my knee after just completing 4 months of rehab/physical therapy</p>

<p>W/ the good comes the bad...:/</p>

34

<p>Sorry to be confused, but have engineering department acceptances been sent yet?</p>

35

<p>I don't think engineering has rolling admissions...just CALS, ILR and Hotel</p>

36

<p>Hotel is rolling, but so far no one on CC has gotten in yet o_O.. or maybe I didn't notice.</p>

37

<p>just so i get this straight--CALS, ILR and Hotel have rolling admission and CAS does not. this may be a stupid question, i admit it, but for those of us who applied for CAS, do we have to wait until april 1st?</p>

38

<p>Do I still have a chance of finding out this week?</p>

<p>I heard 2 different things on CC. </p>

<p>Some people said they mailed out decisions on monday only.</p>

<p>Others have said they will be mailing deicsions all week.</p>

<p>Which is correct? Does the Cornell website mention any of this?</p>

<p>Thanks (not to takeover this thread)</p>

39

<p>cas will have to wait till march 31st</p>

40

<p>I think it depends where you live, plzaccept. </p>

<p>True story: I saw a letter from Cornell sitting in my mailbox today. It was on the top of the pile, and when I saw the school logo on the envelope I got so excited. Then I picked up the letter. It was for my mom from the alumni association! WHAT A TEASE! </p>

<p>Anyway, I live in Miami (FL), so there's still a chance I could receive a letter tomorrow, or even Saturday I suppose. Where are you from?</p>
