<p>I called the direct line for ILR and talked to a guy adcom from ILR admissions. The decisions have never come out this early...</p>
<p>Hi guys- My d is a Jr. in ILR and I have been following these boards for a few years. What Natalie Portman (a fellow LI'r) says, is closest to how it has been for the past few years. Only a small percent of kids get the "rolling decision" prior to 3/29. It has always been just a handful who got admitted during this rolling period 2/15 - 3/15 (or thereabouts). And the vast MAJORITY of decisions went out with the non rolling schools on 3/29.
If Cornell follows the same process as it has for the past few years, most of you will not hear anything from Cornell until the end of the month. And hopefully many of you will get your Acceptance!
Good luck to all.</p>
<p>Well at least when I come home from school in the afternoons, I don't have to be as nervous for the next two weeks when checking the application status online...</p>
<p>arg. i'm calling them up again tomorow</p>
<p>wat the...now people are saying the hotel decisions aren't coming out until 3/29? Is that true? cuz i thought all the rolling schools were making their decisions by 3/15. what a drag, if it is actually 3/29. we're two days away from 3/15 and now we have to wait 2 more wks</p>
<p>if that's true........what is the point of having a rolling system. its just the same thing as regular decision</p>
<p>I think people are saying that ILR will release decisions on 3/29, which I find odd because I thought ILR was rolling?</p>
<p>ILR IS rolling... i found out from ilr already... a week ago..</p>
<p>I applied on the last day and got my decision back today.... ACCEPTED. </p>
<p>And my stats were anything but outstanding:<br>
2050/2400 , 3.8 UW </p>
<p>but I had good hotel experience. </p>
<p>Posting this from my mobile device so Ill add full stats later... just know that Hotel is coming out BEFORE 3/29 and you don't have to be near 'perfect' to get in.</p>
<p>Yes: ILR-Hotel and CALs are rolling- but YOUR decision may "Roll Out" on 3/29</p>
<p>Some of you might hear prior to the 3/29 date but others will not hear until that date. And in past years, MOST of you will not hear anything until 3/29.</p>
<p>Just chill- you should all try do yourself a favor and think of something nice like summer-prom-graduation- or just getting away from your parents for the next 4 years!!
The next 2- 3 weeks is going to be tough, so try to deal with it in the best manner possible.</p>
<p>nope multiple people have called and gotten confirmation that Hotel and Cals (not sure about ILR) will have all decisions out by this thursday.</p>
<p>ok i just called again. the lady this time told me that decisions for CALS are made between feb 15 and march 15, HOWEVER, if they're not done with the applications by then, all the rest will come out on the 29th. i asked her if most of the applications will be done at the 15 or 29th, and she said basically that depends on how CALS is doing this year so they dont really know. so i guess if we dont hear by the 15th, we can stop checking for 2 weeks and then it'll definetly b out on the 29th. good luck everyone.
p.s. how many ppl have heard from AEM?</p>
<p>ugh they can't do this to us..
it's like traveling through a desert and coming across an oasis, only to find that it's a mirage when we finally get there!!!</p>
<p>^nice metaphor</p>
