<p>AHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>well i know its harder to get in off the waitlist so i would hope thats it :(</p>
<p>you need to chill out...if you love the school that much, write admissions a rational letter about why Cornell is the place for you. deferred isn't the end of the World, you still have as much a shot as the regular applicants, who are usually less qualified, as a whole, than the ED ones. good luck, and seriously, relax.</p>
<p>waitlist admit... deferral admit is like 40%</p>
<p>oh THANK GOD...thanks for saying that...2% wooooahhh thats not HIGH ENOUGH!!! hah</p>
<p>that's like saying the people that were fairly qualified in the first round aren't nearly as qualified in the second round of admins</p>
<p>Nicky, your scores are kind of low..especially for RD...I would defintely not get my hopes up at one place...its not healthy..</p>
<p>Why do you say that?!?! I know they are LOW but a lot of people have said I am "well within the range" :(</p>
<p>"Don't worry...if you get rejected, it may actually be a blessing in disguise. Cornell is extremely competitive, and you may not have enjoyed it once you actually got there. Going to a less competitive school sometimes is the best thing that can happen. At least you'll still have pride left....many of the best students I know have failed miserably at Cornell. It's scary." </p>
<p>^ I totally agree. I probably fall under that category... I went to Cornell for engineering and now I am looking for any possible way out after my first semester. The intensity and competition of Cornell is not a myth. In hs I was 2nd in my class with 1520 sats. The first time I took them I got at 1300 and about mid-way through October I was wishing I had never retaken them so that I wouldn't have been admitted... so getting rejected might not be a bad thing... btw, I had a 650 chem satII I submitted and was still admitted... don't freak out you still have a good chance, but I personally wish I had been rejected.</p>
<p>:( Hmm that is an interesting way to look at it...I guess I probably do kind of idealize CORNELL but I REALLY REALLY want to go there & a lot of people I know who have gone there have loved it, so I guess it is probably just the person. IDK but thanks for the advice :)</p>
<p>i had a 660 chem and got in ed, however i was just notified that my score went up second testing to 700. </p>
<p>good luck.</p>
<p>the top 10% of my public school scores 1500+ on sati. second in my class got 3900 (1500+800+800+800)
i got 1490 and fall into the top 11-12%
i dont think i have a point...eh</p>
<p>nicky: i liked how you ended your first post in this thread with "<3Nicky". you seemed ****ed (and i bet you were/are), but you still managed a "<3Nicky" at the end. kidna unexpected</p>
<p>don't worry, 49% of people who retake the SATs get a lower score.</p>
<p>wow cornell accepts that many of their deferrals? i thought it would be much lower since the RD pool is much more competitive (ie harvard, yale, mit rejects or w/e).....</p>
<p>I don't know if you've considered this.. But plan B could always be to go to a state school and then transfer to Cornell? If it's really your dream, you'll make it happen in time..</p>
