<p>What did gomestar do?</p>
<p>Never mind if you have to ask.</p>
<p>Did you read post#1?</p>
<p>to all of those who were accepted...</p>
<p>dont tell your friends.</p>
<p>Get like $50 bets or something that you will get in when "decisions are released on the 15th."</p>
<p>"but gomestar, that's not very nice or ethical"</p>
<p>Neither is Cornell charging $150 for a used text book. You'll look back thinking "he had it right all along, dang it! I could sure use $50 right now."</p>
<p>as we bow to acknowledge the CC God......of information. Kudos to you.</p>
<p>since they closed down the link can someone post it? I just want to see what the link was</p>
<p>If gomestar is CC God, and since I have talked to him face to face, doesn't that at least make me a Saint....how many people you know have talked to a God...lol. CC is trip.</p>
<p>the link is to the exact page of the decisions from last year (and for this year too, obviously). since you were already logged in, the only thing holding you back from seeing it was your browser not being automatically redirected to the address of the page. However once you were logged in, if you manually redirected your browser (I.E. typed the address of the page) you could see it. the page within the self service site was "/cu_decision.cmf"</p>
<p>I'm soo ****ed off. I didn't find out about the link untill today, and by the time i got it, they shut the site down. I think it's crap that they just don't post the desicions now. I mean its totally unfair that some people already know and some don't. To make it fair they should just post it for everyone.</p>
<p>wah wah</p>
<p>just wait 2 days</p>
<p>Seriously, life is never fair. Its only two more days anyway.</p>
<p>well</p>
<p>i did open the link... and i didnt come out with it until today, but yes, i did. and i was flat out rejected. im shocked sort of. 1370 SAT (2130) 4.12 GPA 6 aps 4 yrs vball and choir as main ec's also key club. oh well, whatever, im not taking it personally. i guess it wasnt meant to be. i guess i just expected differently after they URGENTLY contacted me for an alum interview JUST a couple weeks ago, and it went great. idk i thought i would maybe be deferred but THIS? its weird......</p>
<p>well</p>

<p>sryy i did it again</p>
<p>What were your essays like?</p>
<p>idk i thought they were good, what can i say about my own essays!? i basically wrote about finding more confidence in myself through vball, it was like a narrative, somethign v. personal to me. idk i guess they obviously hated them? what else could have gotten me flat out REJECTED? (other than my not so hot SAT2 scores) idk....</p>
<p>Orca, there are many factors to the decision process and you know that ED is meant to benefit the college, not you or anyone else applying ED. You can't say for sure that they "obviously hated" your essays unless you were in the adcom yourself. Maybe there were too many qualified applicants, maybe they just needed certain people to fit profiles and had too many of others. Who knows. Rejection is not a reflection of your character or anything else important. I applied ED as well and I won't know until Thursday but looking at the decisions that have already been posted, plenty of people have been deferred and a surprisingly significant number have been rejected (looking at stats and apps). </p>
<p>Sorry this is really inarticulate. I've been playing Halo for the last 4 hours.</p>
<p>wow, flat out rejected dude is pretty harsh, i must agree, but I don't know what your essays/recs were like.</p>
<p>i was also rejected with a 1370...</p>
<p>my recs were very good, i thought. my teachers both said very nice things about me, although i guess they werent very SPECIFIC or anything i dont know. thistlepanger i realize that there are many factors involved in the decision process, im not retarded. i know i cant say for sure they hated my essays, but clearly they didnt stick out to them at all because i know almost all of the other aspects of my application were very good. but thank you for the other things you pointed out.</p>
<p>Most recommenders say nice things, just for the record. It's hard not to take a rejection personally, but remember that obviously the college doesn't dislike you as a human, they just felt that you were not a good match for Cornell compared to enough other students who applied.</p>
<p>Whoever said it's unfair that some found out and others haven't. You're d*** right it's unfair. That's why there was so much discussion of reprocussions. However, I don't think it's so horrible that they find out 2 days ahead of you by improper means.</p>
