@airspirit, slightly random question (lol), but what did you put as the subject for your Letter of Continued Interest? 
@jamesjunkersā I put my āNameāLetter of Continued Interestā hah
@airspirit, lol thanks 
@airspirit, can you copy paste the email the college sent back to you after relieving your letter of continued interest? Mine was an automated response, and it was weird, because it kind of said I have to upload it elsewhereā¦
@jamesjunkersā Yeah, sure. Their reply said:
"Dear [my name],
Thank you for your continued interest in the ILR School. This email will be added to your application profile for review.
You are welcome to call or email the admissions office if you have any questions.
Best,
ILR Undergraduate Admissions
ILR School, Cornell University"
@airspirit, ugh, mine was just a stupid automated response that sounded like my email is going in the garbage, Iāll call tomorrow
So guys how were your second quarter grades are you feeling confident?
@Zenithar143, my second quarter average was about 0.08 points lower than my first quarter average (which I had sent go Cornell in Nov.), however this is on a 100 point scale, and my midyear report is 7 points higher than my cumulative high school GPA :D, so overall, Iām pretty confident (in my grades, at least)
@Zenithar143ā Mine overall stayed around the same (~96). Maybe very slightly lower during my second quarter but thatās because of the senioritis thatās kicking in 
My GC wonāt be sending my second quarter grades till after winter breakā¦UGH.
Curious, is Cornell still your #1 (not directed at anyone in particular)? I have people in my school who were deferred ED from various schools (Cornell included), and now that school has dropped significantly on their list. I just donāt get that - I applied ED because I loved Cornell, that hasnāt changed
@jamesjunkersā Iāve probably wanted to go to Cornell since 1st grade, so itās still definitely on the top of my list. After I got deferred, it made me want to go even more. However, Iām starting to branch out nowadays. Penn is slowly climbing up my list haha
Yea same @airspiritā same itās still my number one but Iām worried because my grades havenāt been that great (90 first quarter 91 second quarter). Hopefully ILR will forgive me
@Zenithar143, how do those compare to your junior year grades?
@jamesjunkersā Junior year I had a 93 95 93 and 92 so lower why?
@Zenithar143, I was just curious how it compared - - I wouldnāt worry too much, itās only slightly lower, and youāre probably taking a difficult course load. Iām sure youāll be okay
@jamesjunkersā I hope so thx man
February is the worst part of the waiting game because by the following month youāll start hearing back from your other schools, and can hopefully forget about Cornell until Ivy Day. :-SS
My school graded on a different system, but last year I had approximately an 84-85 average first semester compared to my usual 95 (yikes, I know). Cornell doesnāt appear to evaluate midyear reports too closely and I have no idea what they do with deferred applicants, but most of us seemed to have gotten in off the waitlist or received GTās, so hopefully you guys will be fine too.
Edit: I think I mightāve posted about this beforeā¦sorry. If anything, consider it a bump haha. Good luck, everyone!
After looking around past CC threads, I feel like most deferred (and especially legacy) applicants get the GT offer. Sighā¦one more month till Iāll know my fate.
To whom did you address the letter of continued interest?
I did not write one. X_X
