OMGS! I Applied ED to the WRONG SCHOOL!

Applying to College
1

<p>OMGS OMGSOMGSOM!</p>

<p>When I was selecting my schools from Common Apps, I searched for "Cornell" using their search thing. 2 results came up, "Cornell College" and "Cornell University." Thinking that Cornell College is just the undergraduate admissions school for Cornell University, I clicked on "Cornell College." </p>

<p>I only realized that Cornell College is a completely different school (in Iowa) than Cornell U (Ithaca, NY). </p>

<p>What can I Do!!?!?!? Since I submitted ED, does that mean I have to go if accepted?</p>

<p>Call them, email them, contact them somehow and explain. They will withdraw the ED application, I'm sure.</p>

<p>And then, you'll just have to apply RD to Cornell U.
Look on the bright side though: it seemed like a huge, terrible mistake - but it's easily fixed (even though I'm nearly positive you can't apply ED to Cornell now even though those were your intentions).</p>

<p>Damn. That's pretty funny. </p>

<p>I know an aspiring actor who applied to California University of Pennsylvania thinking that it was in Hollywood. Actually, I don't.</p>

<p>This very story is on the cornell dear ezra segment lol. Not trying to be mean here but maybe you should pay more attention when you do something important like college applications.</p>

6

<p>Maybe you'll like it at Cornell College :-)</p>

7

<p>Cornell College ain't too bad</p>

8

<p>lolz lolz lolz just go to a community lolz</p>

<p>For your first choice school, you should've at least found the correct name for it, especially since two results came up.</p>

<p>lol, when i visited Cornell College, they said that they have this problem multiple times every year.</p>

<p>fyi, how did you miss Cornell College (Iowa) on the common app. In its name it says its in Iowa....</p>

<p>oh well good luck</p>

11

<p>If you go to the Common App it clearly says Cornell College (IOWA) next to ALL of their data.</p>

12

<p>Well get used to Iowa, i heard they have good potatoes there. Wait, that's Idaho. Well, I'm sure you'll find some redeeming factor about it in your four years there.</p>

13

<p>I find this truly hilarious.</p>

14

<p>Wow... just wow. Something important like college applications too lolol</p>

15

<p>Haha... I wish you good luck... You're going to need it to get into Cornell UNIVERSITY with that kind of carelessness</p>

16

<p>Iowa ain't that bad... hope you like corn.</p>

17

<p>I don't believe you. Sorry. That is just too obvious of a mistake.</p>

18

<p>DUDE, have you sent your transcript? I believe you Guidance Counselor does that, so Cornell can't accept you without seeing your transcript. Unless they were bent on getting you in and accepted you anyways, you should be fine unless you already sent your transcript.</p>

<p>I know for a fact that it definitely happens on a year to year basis, as i posted earlier, at a visit day this summer to Cornell College, they said every year they get a number of applicants that think they are applying to Cornell University. They get a good laugh out of it.</p>

<p>Cornell College is actually pretty good. And I think it's believable cuz it sounds like something I'd do =(</p>
