<p>I couldnt find this on their website or college board. Am I correct to assume it will be April 1st like many other schools?</p>
<p>Contract Colleges - Feb - April 1, no real pattern
Endowed Colleges - April 1. The CAS and other Endowed ones follow all Ivy Group Rules and Regs. However, the Contract ones, due to their substantial public funding, do not do so, as I understand.</p>
<p>Edit: Though, let me make this clear, this is from anecdotal evidence I’ve heard about ILR, only. However, I assume it holds true for all Contract Colleges.</p>
<p>I’m at once nervous and excited for decisions to be released. Do you think everybody gets an e-mail, along with a letter (or PACKAGE 
) regarding admission decisions? </p>
<p>I know for Harvard, you had an option of receiving an e-mail or not, but I don’t think there was one for Cornell. Yeah, I’m sure there wasn’t one… so we all get e-mails?</p>
<p>I believe I saw online that replies are March 30.
What happens is the school sends you an email eventually telling you to make an acount with a link where on this date at this time, all results will be out. Then if you made it, they send your letters and financial aid packages. Most schools do this.</p>
<p>Most certainly it is the last day of March which is the 31. Most likely time will be 5PM I would say, we all should get Cornell application ID login in like a few weeks.</p>
<p>I already got my ApplicantID. I checked my status and everything is there, except for my scores, but CB shows that they’ve already been sent on Dec 30. Is this just because Cornell offices are really busy right now that scores haven’t shown up yet? Should I just wait a couple days?</p>
<p>Yes! Less than 3 months. I think we should all tape our reactions (: Well, mine will probably be a: omgomgomgomg <em>checking</em> <em>checking</em> <em>CHECKS</em>. Rejected. <em>cries</em></p>
<p>Don’t fret about anything sent around the deadlines, really just as a general rule, give 'em a week or two to get the inboxes settled and catalogued. I think even with electronic sending of scores, somebody still has to actually assign it to your account, so it might take a while since, I have no doubt, that a lot of kids sent 'em all in at the last minute</p>
<p>True, they have to match it up to my application. Thank, bpsbgs, I’m not so worried anymore (: I requested for my scores to be sent on the 21st, but they were officially SENT on the 28th. Everything else has been received, though, so yay!</p>
<p>Rolling admissions has nothing to do with contract colleges v. endowed colleges. Hotel, which is an endowed college, along with ILR and CALS have rolling admissions. These schools have curricula unique to Cornell, so, by admitting students earlier, they do not receive an unfair advantage over the other Ivies that the common admit date was meant to address (at least in theory).</p>
<p>@History1, these colleges are not looked at as giving an unfair advantage since they’re contract; however, most students of ILR and Hotel and CALS still do find out on the normal acceptance date since the rolling admission applies to very, very few candidates.</p>
<p>@bpsbgs: I don’t mean to be confrontational, but did you read what I wrote earlier? Hotel is NOT a contract college, but an endowed college. Yet it admits on a rolling basis; I’ll admit that rollings admits are far and few in between. If Arts & Sciences and/or Engineering were contract colleges, they would still be under the common admit rule due to the issue of getting an unfair advantage if they were allowed to admit earlier. As Arts & Sciences and Engineering offer similar curricula to the other Ivies (for the most part), allowing these colleges to admit earlier than the other Ivies would put them at an unfair advantage for grabbing the top students, thus, going against the spirit of and rationale behind the Ivy common admit date. The information you received about rolling admissions as it applies to contract vs. endowed colleges is wrong.</p>
<p>First off, my aplogies, Hotel WAS a contract college; yes, it is no longer, but it does have a history of not being endowed. Furthermore, lest we forget, all of the Ivy Group schools are required to follow it, and seeing as such, then either Hotel is not in that same category, or it is in violation of the Ivy Group’s policy (which I would doubt highly). Look at any of the Supplement instructions for all of the Ivies, they make this common-notification date policy abundantly clear. </p>
<p>From the Columbia Supplement Instructions verbatim:
“LATE MARCH/EARLY APRIL NOTIFICATION
On a common date in late March/early April,
applicants to the Ivy institutions will be notified
by mail of admission decisions and financial aid
awards.”</p>
<p>Regardless of Hotel’s present state as endowed vs. contract, the rule still holds that it is not on the same level as CoE or CAS which both follow the Ivy Admit date. To be entirely frank, I doubt to the high heavens that anybody here besides you is the slightest bit concerned about the endowment status of Hotel; however, one would be remiss to call it on the same level as CAS or CoE because it does not follow the same regulations.</p>
<p>Also, I seriously doubt that most students applying to Hotel are not applying to other Ivies/comparable business schools, therefore, in my view, since Wharton (or any of the other litany of places which people who have either passed up on or not gotten into Cornell Hotel have attended) can function as a replacement for Hotel, I feel your point that its distinguishing curriculum from the remainder of the Ivies is the reason for its exemption is woefully invalid. Though its curriculum is admittedly unique, it is, by no means, irreplaceable as a school option, and, should your logic hold, then it is still grabbing students by rolling admission which could/do matriculate elsewhere, including Ivy league institutions.</p>
<p>For ED, if no one said this already (didn’t feel like reading), we - at least me - went through the following:
- Got Applicant ID and what not to see what materials we submitted, etc.
- Waaaay later on, the week of decision results, we received an e-mail telling us our user name and password to log into the decision area.
- The day of use the user name and password - that’s it.</p>
<p>^that was helpful-thanks! I think it will be the same for RD. I bet that week of decisions was super stressful. I don’t mean to be nosy, but did you get accepted ED?(:</p>
<p>@bpsbgs: Hotel was NOT a contract college. Rather, it existed as a department of the former College of Home Economics (now Human Ecology). As an individual school, Hotel has always been endowed. However, I do not see what this point has to do with the topic at hand. Regardless of whether Hotel was or was not a contract college (although it is clear that it was not a contract college) has nothing to do with the fact that it is an endowed college today, and has been an endowed college for over 60 years. Thus, your argument about endowed colleges being bound by the Ivy common admit date while contract colleges are not falls on its face. For the record, Arts and Sciences and Engineering could theoretically become contract colleges tomorrow, but would still be bound by the Ivy common admit date for the reasons I outlined above. Also, if I am not mistaken, the UPenn School of Nursing, which is an “endowed” college, is allowed to have rolling admissions for the same reasons that I outlined earlier! </p>
<p>Also, whether or not students applying to Hotel, ILR, or CALS are also applying to other Ivies (which they are) is not relevant to Cornell’s argument for exemption to the Ivy common admit date for these particular schools. After all, Cornell simply says that the unique nature of the aforementioned schools does not give it an unfair advantage over other colleges if they admit students early to these programs. Going by Cornell’s theory, students admitted to ILR are not affected by an acceptance to, say, Columbia College, as the two schools have very different curricula. Are things this black and white? No? Is Cornell (and UPenn) using its exemption to gain an unfair advantage in the grand scheme of things? Yes. But for the purposes of the Ivy common admit date, they are in the clear. By the way, Cornell was not allowed to unilaterally decide that they would allow rolling admissions for CALS, Hotel, and ILR. This was a decision that was approved by the Ivy group presidents. </p>
<p>Please do your research on the reasons for the Ivy common admit date and talk to admissions officers at ILR, Hotel, and CALS (as I have), and you will understand why these colleges and school are able to have rolling admissions. The statement on the Ivy applications does not tell the whole story. As to your statement about CAS and Hotel not being on the “same level,” I’d agree with you, but only in the sense that they offer vastly different curricula. That is the only relevant difference between the schools for the sake of this conversation.</p>
<p>CALS is rolling admissions???</p>
<p>Yes, but as “bpsbgs” pointed out earlier, nearly everyone finds out on the common admit date as rolling admissions offers are extended to few students.</p>
<p>Ok can we all stop arguing about whether colleges are contract/endowed? For CAS, when is the date? I keep hearing march 31 and April 1. Also I don’t care why this date is this date</p>
<p>CAS is definitely March 31, like all other ivy leagues.</p>
<p>Ivy league institutions will release decisions on March 30 this year. (According to an email I got from Yale)</p>
