<p>They make decisions by major, not by when you applied. So i suspect all AEM, bio, and biochem applicants have found out or will find out shortly. Is there anyone else out there applying to entomology?</p>
<p>all ? i thought they were just picking the really qualified people first, and most of the people had to wait to around april to hear</p>
<p>No. They evaluate each major completely, one at a time.</p>
<p>I believe...</p>
<p>RD........and he had the stats but I wouldn't say he was extremely qualified.</p>
<p>Do they send out rejections early too by major? So if they're supposed to have finished all the AEM major applicants..then everyone should have heard?</p>
<p>i still havent heard :(</p>
<p>so when do you think CALS decisions for the Animal Sciences major will be out?</p>
<p>*Decision: Accepted to CALS! *</p>

<p>aghhhh!! omg! communications is out!?!?!?!?!?!

<p>arg still havent heard. i was aem... other than that one person has anyone else heard for aem</p>

<p>are you constantly checking the admission status on cornell's site? or would we get the decsion in the mail?</p>
<p>dancer1088: online or mail?</p>
<p>im checking the admission status online constantly too...it seems that everyone else whose gotten it found it online..hmm..hopefully aem decisions will ALL be out =[</p>
<p>this is nerve wracking (sp?)</p>
<p>From my understanding, last year some AEM decisions were out in late Feb-March, however others (including acceptances) were out April 1st.</p>
<p>Congrats to dancer1088!! i also applied to communication but havent heard anything from Cornell website :( it is getting on my nerves... gee... i think its better to forget about it!! (i know i cant...--) anyways, is there any INT'L student who received admission? if the school does not offer an early admission to INT'L students, for me its like hugely wasting my time....</p>
