<p>I am sorry to have to share some disappointing news about your early decision application to Cornell. I regret that we are unable to offer you admission to the university. I know that this is not the decision you were hoping for, but please understand that we gave your application very careful consideration. This is a final decision; we will not be moving your application into our regular decision applicant pool. </p>

<p>This electronic message is not your official notification. You should be receiving an official letter from us in the mail shortly. In the meantime, I wish you the best. I am certain that you will make a fine contribution wherever you matriculate in the coming year. Cornell has not yet made a decision on your early decision application. Please continue to check this site for decision information within the next few days. Thank you! </p>

<p>Sincerely, </p>

3

<p>I don't know.</p>

4

<p>i have been rejected as well. very surprisingly, i was not as ****ed or sad as i thought i would be. actually just very relieved to know one way or the other. that last part about cornell not making a decision was wierd tho...</p>

5

<p>What's your stat?</p>

6

<p>Yes, I was confused at first.</p>

7

<p>i got deferred</p>

8

<p>why would they say that it was a final decision, only to tell you that they haven't yet made a decision??</p>

9

<p>I don't know.</p>

<p>They probably screwed up.. but I think it IS a rejection.</p>

10

<p>They changed it, now it's corrected and saying the decision (which was on the site), is to be mailed also. Just bad wording</p>

11

<p>I was just wondering what exactly is 3.82 unweighted average out of 100 point scale? 95?</p>

12

<p>I think it's between an A and an A- or something, idk.</p>

13

<p>...wait what?!?! THEY ALREADY STARTED EARLY DECISION??!?</p>

14

<p>oh my god..this post scared me *****less.. i didnt notice it was posted dec 2004.. sorry for the excessive panic everyone ;)</p>

15

<p>lol, slick....</p>

16

<p>gee, nearly had me there too</p>

<p>drinkingmilk- why did you continue this really weird thread? I was freaked out as well. I read somewhere on the princetonreview thingy that 95 was 3.9 on the GPA. not sure about 3.82 though...</p>

<p>So many schools have different 4.0 scales, that you can't equate a numerical grade to a 4.0 grade. At my old high school:
A: 94-100 - 4.0
B+: 90-93 - 3.5
B: 84-49 - 3.0 and so on.
So if you had a 95 average that could be anywhere from a 3.7 to a 4.0 most likely.
And a 3.82 could be around 95-97.
Other schools w/o + grades, could be an A is 90-100 is a 4.0 and so on for B,C,D,F. So a 95 at that school would be most likely at least a 3.9 if not a 4.0.</p>

<p>So I guess I am saying, don't try and convert your numerical score to 4.0, and don't try and convert a 4.0 score to numerical, b/c there is no way to get a concrete answer.</p>

<p>Also if you have a 95 grade or you have a 3.82, I dont' think you have much to worry about seeing as those are good grades.</p>
