<p>^whoa. Another noob, lol. Anyway, I really hope this idea about “fit” with the endowed colleges is true. If so, my chances should be pretty good.</p>
<p>TFN- good luck with your interview in the morning.</p>
<p>Ironic- Cornell isn’t everything. Even if you don’t get in, I’m sure you’ll do great in life. Who knows, maybe even better opporunities may present themselves if you get a small envelope. Let’s just hope for the best and be prepared if goals don’t come to fruition.</p>
<p>Careful east, he might be a ‘hey, I’m already at Cornell’ noob. haha. But what he said is true!</p>
<p>I honestly don’t think most of us will hear for a little while. His was like, long time coming, so maybe that’s why the office knew and maybe did his application earlier (that plus he handed his materials in first out of all of us. Looks like ironic and I would find out last if they’re going in order of app-received).</p>
<p>Riley, you’re prediction needs more evidence 
hahaha if 1-2 more people find out before the 1st, I’ll give it to ya. XD</p>
<p>Fit factor is huge at CALS…I hope my app proves successful in showing that! (…again!)</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and mega congrats, Calp!</p>
<p>lol. Yea, I’m just giving him a hard time. It’s all love.</p>
<p>Actually, if they’re doing this by order of applications/materials received, I’ll definitely be the last one to get my notification, since not only did I submit my application at the last minute, but my materials were just forwarded for review last week (long story–basically, they couldn’t find the transcript which I sent in during September and I had to wait to get a new one.)</p>
<p>if they are doing this by order, than I’ll found exactly right before east or along with him… Wow, still can’t believe somebody received an answer. Again, Congrat Cali!</p>
<p>Jemma…tonight…essays…I promise :(</p>
<p>I wish I got an acceptance letter so I wouldn’t have to stress about applying elsewhere.</p>
<p>^ No prob lol!! Me too!! I want the wait to be over! November is coming soon, and we will probably get our answer by the second and third week of November. Just in time for some good ol’ turkey! I feel like I’m in the Chariots of Fire movie running in total slow mo towards the end, except the end is Cornell’s decision. :S</p>
<p>east89 check your inbox.</p>
<p>i had a super confusing mail last night. lol i was coming back to the house slightly expecting there might be a little chance that i had received the envelop and opened the mailbox, and there was this big white envelop!! i was like no way…and looked at the sender…was Carnegie. lol basically telling me that they have received my app, and an interview is recommended…phewww i was like why this time…when calpoly got in lol</p>
<p>SEE, more mail mishaps. i’m going to check my mail obsessively every single day from now on. and east, my life will be over if i don’t get into cornell. it’s more than just going to that school, which i’m completely in love with. it means a lot more to me and it’s a lot more complicated than that. it’s a chance to better myself, be with the love of my life, finally get away from home and experience real college life, and it’s somewhere that actually makes me happy. i really can’t see myself at any other school. </p>
<p>i kind of want to call humec and see if they’re getting through apps fast. they were pretty slow for the fall. i found out pretty late.</p>
<p>I think you should call them and tell me :)</p>
<p>actualllllllly riley, i vote you call them since they know my voice now hahaha. i’d be willing to call a different college… like if anyone from ilr wants me to call haha.</p>
<p>Haha valvsu, I hateeed that last semester. I would get notifications from Siena and be like ‘ZOMG IS IT-aw c’mon…’ But any envelope that arrives for me this time around is going to be Cornell.</p>
<p>Well I have hopes that because Cathy seems to be on the ball, maybe CALS is getting things done nice and quick (do me nexttttt haha).</p>
<p>Oh question for you guys, so I go to collect my midterms, and due to something stupid with ‘the days you make your online discussion posts’ in my Psych class (we’re supposed to post discussion posts on three separate days during each week, and in the first three weeks of the class i kind of rushed them all on Fri/Sat when they’re due Sundays) my grade is technically a C+, even though all my papers/the majority of my discussion posts are As. </p>
<p>Now, had she had the day to grade my <em>most recent week</em> of posts/papers, she’d find that I aced all of them and my grade would have actually been a B. I don’t really want to bug her again later in the week (it’s an online class, so I can only visit her during her free-time office hours, and she was mega frustrated and in a frenzy when I stopped by) not to mention I really should have these puppies mailed tomorrow…</p>
<p>So is it OK you think to attach a mini-letter explanation on had she included my current week of work, my grade would be a B instead of a C+? I know that seems like a vault, but it’s true. (And if things go as easy as they are for me in this class, I should easily finish with an A-. The only reason I have a C+ is because there aren’t many grades in the book yet.)</p>
<p>^—Haha, now that I read/type it, I think THAT’s what I should say (that the only reason it’s a C+ is because there are limited grades.)</p>
<p>What do you guys think I should say? My other grades are A-, B+, and B for midterms (again, all should be As, except chem, but not many grades in the book yet, and I’m the type who gets much better as the semester progresses.)</p>
<p>yeah it can’t hurt. i had a C on my midterm report last time and i sent a little thing explaining what was going on. is there a TA for the class? and if you really need, you can go back and explain that it’s very important that an accurate and most up-to-date grade be given to you because of what you’re trying to do.</p>
<p>Nah, community college, no TAs, just very angry/old professors. lol jk, my Behavior/Chem profs both went to Cornell and they chatted with me about it/they like me, so that was nice. But my Psych prof. was like “RAWRRRR FINE HERE” and I was like “o_o meep…”</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess I’ll attach a note saying my grade has already risen to a B since the time of her signing this and that they can e-mail her to verify, because it’s completely true. (unless anyone can give me a way to say that more eloquently.)</p>
<p>i think that sounds good. you can just be like “since the time that my professor signed this form, i have completed X amount more assignments and my grade has since risen to a B. [prof’s name] is available to verify this information via e-mail at [e-mail address].”</p>
<p>Ironic, I would love you to call CAS!! Last time I called the woman was cold lol Pweaty pwease…<em>best puss in boots look</em> 
Oh and I know what you mean about what you wrote earlier to east.</p>
<p>If I don’t get in at Cornell, and if life decides to screw me over and I am rejected at Emory and Vassar (yes I know both are medium to large long shots, respectively). I will transfer to the metro area campus of my current university, where people are snobby and cut-throat but at least the classes are decent. :S Ugh, but I want to think happy thoughts, and I believe everything will turn out fine. Next year, God willing, I’ll be sitting in a class in either Vassar, Emory or Cornell (hopefully, it will be Cornell) :)</p>
<p>i had my brother call humec from his cell phone so they wouldnt recognize my number or voice. the receptionist said that she “didn’t know” when decisions would be released, which doesn’t help me at all. ok jemma, i’ll call CAS. what’s the number? also i have humec’s phone number memorized… sad. lol</p>
<p>Whoaza!!! Congrats Cal!! What was in your big envelope of you don’t mind me asking? Hah I hope ilr gets their stuff out soon, atleast for the GTs… I still don’t feel like I’m techincally accepted since I never got a big happy envelope. I got a phonecall and a small envelope that said “you’re kinda accepted” . No no no, I want the “CONGRATS!! You’re totally accepted!!!” envelope… I try to not half ass things :P</p>
<p>You aren’t allowed in Cornell. Cornell > you</p>
<p>maclen, i’ve had enough of your talk back!</p>
