<p>Does everyone know that you applied early decision to Cornell?
If they do know how bad would you feel if you would have to tell them bad news?</p>
<p>I barely told anyone. I didnt think I could deal with the disappointment. My parents have high hopes and expect a lot from me.</p>
<p>my whole school knows and I wasn't the one to tell them... word travels fast :-(. It would be reaaaaaally embarassing to not get in</p>
<p>Why will it be embarrassing? The same people will get rejected from similar schools; there is nothing shameful in not getting into Cornell.</p>
<p>My entire family overseas is counting on me, as well as all of my co-workers. I don't care if I let myself down, I'd rather just not let them down.</p>
<p>My whole grade knows. Our grade is small and very competitive and everybody knows where each person is applying. It will be ucomfortable if I do not get in, especially if the other kids who applied to Cornell ED do get in considering we are all pretty much equal.</p>
<p>my whole grade knows. We read a welcoming speech to the Cornell Class of 2010 from the dean of the university in my college english class, and my teacher asked who is applying to Cornell, and my hand was the only one to go up. And that teacher knew I was applying Cornell because she wrote my rec., so I couldn't not raise my hand. My whole family knows, including my cousin and his family, he goes to Princeton. And my job knows, as well as my church. It'll be so disappointing if things do not work out...</p>
<p>lol...yeah..Why did I wear those gosh darn cornell sweaters. -__-"</p>
<p>I didn't tell anyone because I am 95% sure I'll get rejected, but my dad keeps telling every single person he sees. He even tells random people that I've never even met before. :(</p>
<p>I came up with a pretty good idea....I told every1 that I applied ED to Cornell but sent in the application 2 days late so they are still not sure if they ll consider me for ED....I know its lying but its still better than letting every1 find out that I got rejected.
Oh, and I am also 95 % sure I am gonna get rejected/deferred....</p>
<p>Told EVERYONE, stupidly, and I'm 99% sure I will not be accepted. December 20th will not be a good day.</p>
<p>Don't worry about other people. You're getting into college for yourself, not for others. In the grand scheme of things, it's not going to matter much anyway. If you get in, great. But if you don't, I'm sure people will be nice and compassionate to you, and if they aren't, then screw them. </p>
<p>(I wrote this message partially for myself as well as for the people who posted above me)</p>
<p>Amen Battlecruiser, amen.</p>
<p>I didn't tell a single soul, and neither me nor my parents have any hopes that i'll get in, so...</p>
<p>most of the people in my program of my grade... my family doesnt though because i didn't say anything about ED... I didn't want to disappoint them that much... while i just didn't think i will feel embarrassed in front of the kids in my school.</p>
<p>I was hellbent on not telling a single soul in school, but everyone kept asking and I couldn't lie.</p>
<p>My dad told me if i don't get into Cornell hes going to shave my head</p>
<p>Hide the shaver(s) and you'll be set :)</p>
<p>haha, i really want to go to Cornell though...</p>
<p>Don't we all Feemzi....don't we all.....</p>
<p>Got a little too excited and told all my friends... who told theirs... who told others... so everyone knows.</p>
<p>(My parents will pay for my tattoo if I get in.)</p>
