<p>Hey, I was accepted to the ILR a couple of weeks ago and now I was wondering when is Cornell Day(s) this year? Like does anyone have a link to the specific date(s).</p>
<p>Also, some additional questions:</p>
<p>1.) How long is Cornell Day(s)? Is it a one day thing? Or do we stay overnight?</p>
<p>2.) What do we do during Cornell Day(s)? Do the admission officers/deans/current students give us a tour? How about a tour of the classrooms and the dorms?Tell us about how the courses are? (Do we discuss prospective future career paths?)</p>
<p>3.) Do I get a free t-shirt? How about free food? (These questions are just a joke but I am still curious.)</p>
<p>Do they offer many of the same tours/activities during orientation? We had planned to go to Cornell Days, but it seems like we might not be able to make it. D was accepted ED and knows she is going, and we have visited twice.</p>
<p>I guess my question is if it's worth it/necessary to go crazy and try to make Cornell Days?</p>
<p>Cornell offers the option of the student staying one night with a student host...it was hard last year for me to find a hotel since we could not make the trip in one day. if your accepted student can get there and home just overnight it is an option and gives the student a chance to live dorm life...but not critical.</p>
<p>since your d is ED, she will not really miss much not going - it is really a recruitment porcess for Cornell to make the last push to convince the student...</p>
<p>Orientation during freshman move in right before fall classes start will cover everthing...my older child was ED and did not go to Cornell days...my 2nd child went because she was undecided about Cornell (yes, she is happy)</p>
<p>Cornell days are for <strong>all</strong> admitted students - someone else has already referenced the website link...it is certainly not necessary to go...during those days when any accepted students may go, Cornell does invite some students for special programs...Diversity days, Women in Engineering, Cornell Committment scholars (the three programs in that have been discussed) Tanner Dean Scholars for A&S, the Jacobs scholars in Engineering - these programs will have additional receptions...on certains ...but not going will not be a problem...orientation in August will cover everything you need to know and you will have many social opportunities then...</p>
<p>So let me get this straight, I'm sorry if this has been answered already, if you received a letter inviting you to Diversity Hosting Weekend and saying you are likely to be admitted, can you consider yourself IN??</p>
<p>would you send out letters saying you are going to have a party, and you will send out invitations in a few weeks, but you would like people to know you are going to have a party, and that they will probably be invited, and they should plan to wear a costume , and then NOT invite that person?</p>
<p>this advance information is to allow you time to make reservations to get to Ithaca for Diversity weekend...</p>
<p>and no, if you did not get a letter it does not mean you did not get in...</p>
<p>I ask because unlike some other people, I did not get a follow up letter saying I will be admitted, just that letter 'extending an invitation' to DHW. It's not even like it said 'very likely', just 'likely'. The ambiguous wording (or seemingly) has me confused. I just need a person to tell me, I'M IN! :/</p>
<p>Just to clarify and add some more information about Cornell Days...
Cornell Days (April 10-21st) is a program for all admitted students. It is run by the Undergraduate Admissions Office, The Red Carpet Society, and the Cornell University Ambassadors. (Diversity Hosting Weekend is by invitation only, and occurs during Cornell Days - it is run by CU IMAGE.)
Overnight hosting (one night per student) is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration for Cornell Days opens April 2nd at 8am at Cornell</a> University Undergraduate Admissions Office -CORNELL DAYS
There is no early registration whatsoever. But, if you do not have computer/internet access, you can register by phone - call the Undergraduate Admissions Office. (Note: there is an Ivy League phone moratorium on April 1st and 2nd, so you will not be able to reach admissions staff members by phone until April 3rd.) You may register for both day visits and overnight hosting, but registration is only required for overnight hosting.
Cornell Days is a multi-day program. There are no required activities - the schedule is designed so that you can choose the events and information sessions that meet your needs. You may stay for as many or few days of the program as you'd like, but again, you can only be hosted by a current student for one night.
While many students who have already committed to Cornell or know that Cornell is their top choice will choose to attend Cornell Days and learn a lot more about their future alma mater, the program is geared toward students who are still trying to decide if Cornell is the best fit for them.
Attending Cornell Days is not necessary for anyone. All of the information presented during Cornell Days can be gathered at other times. However, what makes the program so helpful for a lot of people is that so many University resources are gathered in one place. General campus tours and Freshman Experience tours are offered throughout the year, as well as during Cornell Days, but this is the only opportunity to go on a Residence Hall Tour. Other events include financial aid information sessions, pre-orientation trip/program information sessions, and lots of opportunities to interact with student ambassadors. The website includes a daily schedule of events that I encourage you to consult. Cornell Days is a great time to explore the University, get a feel for student life, and have your questions answered.</p>
