I also assist DACA students. I had 2 letters of recs from professors (one is 10/10 (4-5 pages) & I am not sure of the other one’s length, but I presume it is strong)
Okay, so we all called and were told different dates? @Gedigedi that was the general timeline:
Me: “Hi, do you perhaps know about when transfer admissions decisions will be sent out?”
Office: “Usually we try to send them between the 10th and 15th of december”
I get my decision tomorrow at 10AM. I applied for Human Ecology as a PAM major. I’ll leave my a preview of my stats here so future applicants can try to interpret some of this madness.
School: At a SUNY school majoring in biomed sciences.
GPA: ~3.9
Other: ORM, first-gen
EC: Mainly ‘pre-med’ stuff probably below average for Cornell.
Essay(s): I wrote about how I wanted to major in policy to create change instead of being a doctor. I felt like this was my weak point. Definitely should have given myself more time to revise it.
Pre-Reqs: I think I did most of the pre-reqs. I think I’m missing Into to Gov and Intro Pysch
High School GPA: Bad. I think it was around a B?
I did not receive my decision yet.
I tried the PIN trick:
Go to: https://decision.applyyourself.com/fl_login.aspx?id=cornellu
and click “Forgot your PIN or password”. When I reset it told me my decision would be available on 11/20/2018 at 10AM.
I’m able to login into the decision portal but its just a blank page. Guess I jumped the gun a little early. I might call HE admissions tmr.
Please chance me! Here are my stats:
I’m a low-income, Caucasian male from Illinois.
I’m applying to CAS for Mathematics
GPA: 4.0
School: UIUC seeking a degree in Engineering Physics
Credits: 36 and a decent amount of APs
ACT: 35
HS GPA: Academic: 3.90 All subject: 3.46 (My freshman year was really bad)
College Extracurriculars: I am the Ethics Chair for the UIUC Chess Team, a Chancellor’s Scholar, and a member of the Illinois Society of Physics Students
I’m really nervous because of my freshman year of high school. I hope they won’t take that too far into account.
