<p>How to go about it? I am in love^∞ with Cornell. My brain knows the statistics/chances (whatever you want to call them) are not exactly favorable, but my heart is already in Ithaca. I feel like I already belong there.</p>
<p>(The amount I've been looking through the Cornell website lately is unhealthy, I think.)</p>
<p>Is anyone else have problems steeling themselves for rejection?</p>
<p>Same. My heart has been there since last year, but my “chances” aren’t the best. Even if I’ve raised my stats. But I’ll cry for weeks even if I get deferred, if not outright rejected… And then apply to Ithaca and then hope to transfer. I just really want to be in at least Ithaca/Cornell.</p>
<p>Lol it sucks even more cos on D-Day, I’ll have a performance right after I find out. So in any case (acceptance/deferral/rejection), I’ll most likely be crying throughout it.</p>
<p>Man, I don’t know what would be more depressing, deferral or rejection…</p>
<p>I think I’d rather be rejected. Deferral just means I’ll be rejected later on. I mean, if we don’t get in during ED, how can we get in via RD?</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat as you guys… I wanna go to Cornell more than anything else in the world but I dont have the stats. I’m a junior but I feel like no matter how well I do this year I wont get in because of my grades from freshman year :(</p>
<p>i know how you feel. im in love with the school but even if i got in i doubt i’d be able to afford it.</p>
<p>The point of deferral is they think you are good enough, but need more information.</p>
<p>If you are deferred, send in an updated list of your grades. Send in another glowing recommendation. Send in another supplementary note about how you’ve been looking more into Cornell and you are absolutely in love with it and can’t see yourself anywhere else.</p>
