<p>Ok, its official, the finaid letter is obviously a likely, your 1960 sats are much too low for cornell, have fun at community college.</p>
<p><em>rolls eyes</em></p>
<p>Don't worry about it.</p>
<p>Not to be a downer, I would worry about it.</p>
<p>hmm, a bit too late; I (international student) already sent the materials again before their second email. Well, I guess it cannot be blamed on me :P</p>
<p>My s got e-mail giving us another chance to apply for fa as we have not done so.</p>
<p>i didn't apply for FA but i got a letter.</p>
<p>letter means nothing.</p>
<p>well....i did get a letter from the FA office a couple of weeks ago, and just yesterday i got a likely letter from Cornell. Coincidence maybe, but I thought I'd let you guys know.</p>

<p>Essays:
*I worked hard on them, so I, and others think they're good, but who knows?</p>
<p>ROFL at nusi</p>
<p>california_love meand you have VERY VERY simmilar stats....I hope we both get in</p>
<p>wht school in cornell did you apply to? I did ILR.</p>
<p>I did CALS. I really hope I get in. That would really make my high school career. Did you get a letter too?</p>
<p>I did not apply for FA but I got the letter that says I can still apply.....</p>
<p>I got a request for additional FA information on Thurs and then received the letter saying I was going to be admitted on Sat..</p>
<p>wow i got a request email but my stats are WAYYY low for cornell. as in like super-reach-never-gonna-get-in-just-applying-for-fun low. (3.6uw, 4.0w, 1270/1870 SAT)</p>
<p>so now im pretty much freaking out</p>
<p>afro_ninj4.. they take more into account,, the whole picture.. so some "reaches" will get in... otherwise you could never diversify your student body and you would end up with all perfect score kids...</p>
<p>so, I propose in order to come to partial consensus for now (until of course decisions come) that we list the evidence for and against it, so that it's more organized, and people can counter argue specific points.</p>
<p>So based on what I've read, here's some evidence for and against it...you may try and refute for either side:</p>
<p>For:
-Why would they make packages for so many people?
-Most everyone that got it is qualified, or highly qualified for Cornell
-People have received this letter and then gotten in later on. Coincidence, or not?</p>
<p>Against:
-The FA department is disjointed from the admissions office.
-I know people that completely suck that got it.
-This is just wishful thinking brought about by the stress of college admissions.</p>
<p>lets start with this. Copy and paste that list and add your input so that this way it's more organized.</p>
