<p>Why so many ILR applicants on this thread?</p>
<p>Those accepted to ILR for the fall of 2012.
Can you please post your stats?
Thanks.</p>
<p>ILR has like a 40% acceptance rate according to Cornell. I’m jealous.</p>
<p>@haeji
did you take an itnerview with Ian?
When was it and what did he ask you about?
I just did my phone interview with ian today and he asked me
what my “interests” are… i was super nervous and don’t even know
what i said.</p>
<p>Ok I joined this thread fairly recently, and I am still waiting on my admissions decision. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>College/ Major Applying to: CALS, AEM
Entering as: Sophmore
GPA: HS- Fairly known magnet school in New York, no GPA but approximately 89/100; College- 4.0/4.0, University ranked about in the 130’s, but Honors program.
2320 SAT (800 Math, 780 Reading, 740 Writing)
SAT Math II 800, Physics 700</p>
<p>Units completed (Will have completed by the end of THIS semester): 33, I have not fully completed my English requirement but have notified CALS admissions and they said its fine.
ECs listed on app: Piano, various clubs in high school, Math team, volleyball, bowling, bunch of other stuff including various community service, Computer programming, Economic and Finance society in college, and just a bunch of other things I’m too lazy to check.
Job/Work Experience: Worked as an intern for a hedge fund this school year, did DVD subtitles and translation from English to Russian and vice versa for 2 years before that.
Letters of Recommendation: Stellar recs from my law professor who said he’s the best student he has had in his 40 years of teaching, and hedge fund manager.</p>
<p>Other:
Other schools applied to: Applied Binghamton, Boston, NYU, accepted into first 2 already.</p>
<p>I think I wrote a pretty good common app essay, talked about how I actually want to go to college to learn now and not just to get a diploma, learned to work my ass off instead of not give a **** like in high school.</p>
<p>In supplement I made references to specific professors and classes I sat in during my visits in Cornell and why I liked them (basically detailed stuff about Cornell), I hope that shows I actually want to go to Cornell and not just “an Ivy league school” for the sake of prestige whoring</p>
<p>Got an email from Ian, today, telling me to give him a call when I can, so he could update me on 'the status of [my] application" Of course, I was in class, and did not see his email. I missed him by exactly 8 minutes.</p>
<p>Why couldn’t he just have said the decision in the email? So incredibly nervous. I already had an interview few weeks ago, but maybe they have other questions, in regards to my application? I am doubtful that it could be an acceptance offer… haha.</p>
<p>@Matisyahu</p>
<p>I’m a freshman at a SUNY</p>
<p>4.0 with 13 credits first semester</p>
<p>3.7ish with 16 credits mid term report</p>
<p>great EC’s in High school, but not phenomenal grades…didn’t send my SAT.<br>
I think my essays and reccomendations were great.</p>
<p>@secretlyyhopeful…he def wouldn’t call you to reject you. so probably, either you’re in, or he has a question</p>
<p>so… im new here and i applied to CALS. Congrats to everyone that got in! at first i though i didnt care about the result but now im so nervous. i can log in to the housing and my primary major listed on the login page changed to the secondary one-.-" did that happen to anyone else?</p>
<p>@wronskian</p>
<p>That’s because the GT’s are put in that statistic as well. Nobody knows what the real ILR acceptance rate is.</p>
<p>@secretlyyhopeful</p>
<p>for some reason I feel like we’re on the same boat. I’m honestly doubtful he called to tell me that i was accepted.
But obviously, if it’s not that he wants to ask questions I’m guessing. And I’m actually more nervous about that b/c my interview didn’t go too well (i’m not good w phone interviews!!) but it was also with a different woman…not ian. anyhow, I left him a voicemail… are you calling him first thing tomorrow morning?</p>
<p>@socal </p>
<p>i did have a phone interview but it was with some woman…who didn’t sound too interested lol it was just me talking the entire time. yeah i don’t even remember what i talked about. haha. and it was late March I think? she just asked me ILR specific questions…
I’m sure you did fine! do you know why you got the phone interview so late though? sine apps were due 3/1…:T</p>
<p>@haeji93 with Kathy? yes, my interview was with her, too. I made her laugh, which was great 
</p>
<p>But, yes I am calling him tomorrow morning. He emailed me at 3:47pm, so, I could not call him back today.</p>
