<p>Does Cornell do their acceptances/rejections/waitlists by mail or online? If online, then how do you know you got in? Do they send you an email?</p>
<p>If my mail, is it one of those big envelopes or a little standard one?</p>
<p>I don’t think the process has changed all that much since I was accepted, in which case Cornell will announce the date/time when decisions will be released online. If the date/time isn’t explicitly e-mailed to you, it will surely be posted on the admissions website, at which point you login and if you’re accepted, you don’t even have to read the letter because there will be a big banner that says “Congratulations.”</p>
<p>Ahh thank you :)</p>
<p>My kid was accepted last year ED. She received her pin few days before the announcement day, at 5pm she logged in and she saw the letter. In few days, the official letter arrived by mail. Few years ago, Cornell’s servers used to crash and it would take people few hours to find now, but it hasn’t happened in a while.</p>
