<p>sunshineflorida - I would write Cornell an essay to demonstrate your interest in CoE, and send them an updated packet - transcript, recommendation letter(s), and any award(s).</p>
<p>thanks, but for now i’m deleting the post
got a few messages and just don’t want to deal with it now
getting denied from my primary first choice early decision college CAS and deferred by the alternate c of e got me upset.
gonna talk to my counselor about it next week.
tonight, I will start working on applications for UNC, MIT, Tulane, Emory, NYU, Columbia and UVA to get my mind off cornell and getting denied admission at CAS
if I get in to the college of engineering from deferred list I will see you next year.</p>

<p>General Comments: :)</p>
<p>Hey guys, I have recently been accepted into the College of Engineering at Cornell and I also might have a C on my 2nd quarter report card in AP Statistics. Will that get my acceptance into the college of engineering revoked? What are the conditions for revokation?</p>
<p>omg around page 16 I was so nervous reading everyone’s posts, even though I’m applying RD.</p>
<p>For those who’ve applied to ARTS & SCIENCES and go accepted, did you have 3 units of a foreign language???</p>
<p>I got accepted ED into CALS! I’m so excited! I’d love to do the whole “meeting up with the cc students” thing to start making some Cornellian friends! I’ll post my stats tomorrow for all of those who are looking to apply regular decision or in upcoming years.</p>
<p>I JUST made my CC account because this thread got me excited! =D</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted into College of Engineering</p>
<p>Objective:</p>
<pre><code>* SAT I (breakdown): N/A
<p>Subjective:
* Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Key Club(Treasurer), Free the Children, Korean Drumming Club, Pre-College Initiative directed by Cornell
* Job/Work Experience: worked as waitress for 3 different restaurants
* Volunteer/Community service: Key Club, tutoring Korean to children, serving food for community
* Summer Activities: internship at college housings, volunteering
* Essays: My common app essay was about my autistic brother and how my life was influenced by him. For supplementary essay, I talked about my passion for math and science, but explained why I’m still applying as undecided (I’m graduating high school a year earlier and I didn’t have enough time to think about my future/major) Personally, I didn’t like my essays just because it was really hard to write ‘undecided’ essay in a week
* Teacher Recommendation: one from my AP Computer Science teacher and other from Math teacher. I’m guessing they were pretty good
* Counselor Rec: Must’ve been good
* Additional Rec: N/A
* Interview: N/A</p>
<p>Other</p>
<pre><code>* State (if domestic applicant): New York
<p>Reflection</p>
<pre><code>* Strengths: GPA(4.9 weighted), legacy, one of extracurricular activities directed by Cornell Engineering, job experiences
<p>General Comments:
* I had to prepare for all the college stuff in 1.5 months because I decided to graduate early after my junior year started. I wasn’t really expecting to get in, but somehow did!</p>

General Comments:
I’m so happy as I opened my acceptance and financial aid package today and found out that Cornell offered me generous financial aid. See you all in the fall 2011! :D</p>
<p>Letter of acceptance received but nothing for financial aid. When does the financial aid package come?</p>
<p>Also my acceptance is conditional on attending their prefreshman summer program. Is everybody required to attend the summer program?</p>
<p>NO… Are you international?</p>
<p>no, ny resident</p>
