<p>Chill Guys. I was a Penn reject (ED) last year. So I know how you feel. But chill. Cornell then accepted me from the RD pool. I couldn't be happier.</p>

<p>CORNELL ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>seriously though in the back of my head i just keep thinking they mixed up the acceptances with rejections because i dont see how someone (not me) with a 2320 and amazing stats is rejected while people with lower stats are accepted and someone with a 1740 (also not me) is deferred.</p>

<p>Well, for all of us in this thread, the operative statement will be
______ ROCKS (and that name won't be Cornell).</p>

<p>i was rejected!</p>

<p>oh well. i'm applying to 14 other schools.</p>

<p>Haha you're talking about me most likely? (2320, earned internship under CEO of major company, 94ish avg in Canada, etc etc) I feel so useless now.. why would Cornell reject me? </p>

<p>Oh well.. there's always Harvard (yea right.)</p>

<p>Why do you think Cornell is at the bottom among Top 15 schools in stats of accepted students? They simply don't value stats that much. Obviously, you still need decent GPA and SAT scores but a 2300 is not a guarantee that you will get in, even though the Cornell average is around 2100. It really hurts them in the rankings and I have to hear the constant BS on CC about how Cornell isn't selective. But, that's the way they choose to select their students.</p>

<p>yeah timatti i was haha</p>

<p>no but seriously im shocked i was outright rejected and my scores are lower than yours. ive posted them so many times tonight in numerous moments of bitter despair that i wont again but you can see them elsewhere. i really feel like a total joke as a student and like im not getting in anywhere i apply</p>

<p>and not to be overly bitter but i just cant help it....that rejection letter was the most poorly written specimen of literature i have ever read. seriously "share some disappointing news"..give me a break</p>

<p>Scores/grades/seemingly "great" ECS are definitely not everything at any selective school... My friend was just got outright rejected ED from UPenn with a 2300+, 4.0 unweighted, All IB classes, top 1% of class, excellent ECs such as varsity sports and really creative things. Granted, UPenn is very different admissions-wise than Cornell, but same ideology - admissions often appear very random.</p>

<p>i agree wholeheartedly mer0723.</p>

<p>i even did their stupid, supposedly "intense" 9 week japanese prorgram, pulled off an A-, and had relatively decent stats, and do they even grace me with a mere "deferral"?
no.
REJECTED.
what. the. hell.</p>

<p>my friend was rejected at UCLA and berkeley but got into cornell, so keep your heads up... anything can happen</p>

<p>Much love, you guys. It's inappropriate and unethical of Cornell to put you on hold for so long. All the other schools released decisions last week.</p>

<p>it's not what goes on top of the table, but beneath it. </p>

<p>;-)</p>

<p>happy reject here</p>
