<p>Has anyone logged on and found that we can fill out forms for new students? I think those forms are for students matriculating this spring, but why would we be allowed to submit our info on there now? Help please!!</p>
<p>Logged on where?</p>
<p>i haven’t found anything like that. I think you should just follow what the Admissions letter says. Submit your deposit, then update Financial information, and in April we’ll find out more about housing and dinning</p>
<p>My daughter was admitted ED by Cornell. She mailed her deposite check which was cashed by Cornell about one week ago (we checked our bank account). However, Cornell did not send any acknowledgement letter or anything related or otherwise. I thought Cornell would email the student ID as soon as they receive the deposite check…</p>
<p>Any information regarding this issue? What would be the next mailing to be expected from Cornell?</p>

<p>I think that site is geared towards new students coming in for this spring. It says:</p>
<p>“Welcome spring entrants. Under useful links (at right) you’ll find the Cornell Bound matriculation forms and other information relevant to new students.”</p>
<p>123456…I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that our cancelled check was our receipt of payment. I don’t think we will be getting anything else until the spring.</p>
<p>Yes, I’m pretty sure we won’t be hearing much of anything for a while. And I also read that the cancelled check was the receipt for the deposit.</p>
<p>wat do u guys mean by cancelled check? and where can i find out that it has been cancelled?</p>
<p>IMO, a cancelled check is one that has been processed for payment. It is widely accepted as a receipt for payment in the U.S. (not so in some other countries). If you have a bank account in the U.S., the check that you have written to Cornell is first deposited into their checking account. Their bank will then credit Cornell’s account and send that check out thru clearing & the check will eventually be sent back to your bank as a way to draw money out to pay for your obligations. At the end of the bank statement cycle, you will get your statement along with all the checks that you have written and cashed/deposited by other parties. Those checks are called cancelled checks.</p>
<p>If you look at the back of your check, you will see endorsements from various banks. Each time a check passes thru a correspondent bank, it will receive a stamp (endorsement) with a date. You can tell where & when your check had been simply by looking at the endorsements. By law a bank has a limited time to hold your check in transit.</p>
<p>thanks kwyml. i wasnt familiar with these cancelled checks as i was from canada..
i used an international money order since i have a canadian bank account.
so you are saying that the money order will get sent back to me? and this will be a receipt for my deposit?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you sent Int’l M.O., it will be different. The scenario I talked about in my previous post applies to personal checks drawn on U.S. banks.</p>
<p>When you purchased that money order, I hope you’ve made a photocopy of it just in case you need to contact the place where you purchased it from regarding the money order’s current whereabout. I’m not familiar with how banks work in Canada. I’m sorry I can’t help you much here. My past experience is with U.S. banking only.</p>
<p>is there any way that i can check to see if my deposit have been received by cornell??</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Do you have a copy of the money order? Where did you get your mo? a post office?</p>
<p>is there any way that i can check to see if my deposit have been received by cornell??</p>
<p>call and see if your deposit has been received…they told me over the phone</p>
<p>“Where did you get your mo? a post office?”</p>
<p>^^ yes you can get them at a post office, there is a fee for the money order tho</p>
<p>i got my money order straight from the bank.
and sent it in an envelope that came in the acceptance letter.
i guess i shoud call and make sure..
thanks guys</p>
<p>you’re quite welcome. As long as you haven’t folded your money order, it has all the straight edges & not physically mutilated in any way, it should survive the encoding machine intact. Int’l mo may take a little bit longer to process. Calling Cornell is much more direct. Since yours is a mo, searching for it will almost always require research fee.</p>
<p>i found out that my deposit has been processed by cornell as it says that canadian $410(US400) was cashed in on my mom’s account on the internet banking.
thanks for the replies.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Technically, the $410 that was taken out from your mom’s account was not evidence that Cornell had processed the payment. That’s because your mom took out the required amount from her bank account in exchange for an international money order. That was a transaction between your mom & her bank, we know that it has been processed. </p>
<p>The question is whether Cornell received & deposited the money order. That’s something we won’t know if Cornell doesn’t tell us. What should happen next is that the money order will go into Cornell’s account, Cornell’s bank will settle it with some other correspondent bank to receive payment, the Canadian entity that issued the money order will receive the money order back, with the like amount taken out from them…</p>
<p>I think for your purpose, as long as it shows that payment has been made, you should be OK.</p>
