To much dismay, I was waitlisted from Hotel School. I immediately accepted the waitlist offer and I said yes to be considered for both the traditional waitlist and First-Year Spring Admission.
Unlike a lot of the people who got the guaranteed transfer, I didn’t get rejected, but waitlisted.
The letter is as follows
"Dear Janizary:
Thank you for your application to Cornell University.
We know that you are anxious to learn whether or not you have been admitted to Cornell, but we are unable to give you a final decision at this time. After reviewing your application very carefully, we are placing your name on our wait list for the School of Hotel Administration.
We ask that you let us know if you would like to remain on our wait list and be considered for admission should additional openings become available in the freshman class. If you would like to remain on our wait list, please complete the short form at http://admissions.cornell.edu/waitlistreply by April 10. You will also find important information about our wait list on this site.
We are sorry that we cannot provide you with a final decision now. Given our large and competitive applicant pool, the selection of the freshman class was a very difficult process. We appreciate your continued interest in Cornell, and we hope that you will choose to remain on our wait list.
In the meantime, we wish you all the best."
Do I still have a shot of getting in? I don’t care when or how, I just want in!
