My Cornell app has been processing since 2/1, I'm not too thrilled about that, thanks for the encouragement though. Did you write a Why ND?

Does it go complete or just stay at processing, and then to a decision?

Oh wait RC fail. I was using processing and under review interchangeably. I believe my Cornell app, like most of the others, went complete before a decision. However, mine was sent much earlier than yours. They may be doing it differently later in the game. To be honest, I didn't check my status AT ALL and just waited for the decision. This was because I was already content with the choices that I had been given earlier in the cycle. But keep in mind that Cornell seems to take longer than most schools. I had heard from over 10 schools before I heard back from Cornell. I heard back from UVA in early December, so it is really a crap-shoot. Just be patient.

Yea, I've heard that Cornell is notoriously slow. My friend was complaining about it last cycle. No worries though, I'm happy about how my cycle has turned out so far.

Cornell seems to be on a different time schedule than everyone else. Congrats on all the money you've gotten thus far. Are you leaning towards WUSTL?

I like WUSTL just a tad bit more than Notre Dame, I am visiting WUSTL this weekend and then Notre Dame next week. My gut feeling tells me to go to WUSTL.

I don't know much about WUSTL, but I can't stand South Bend, IN. It's not a happy place. I feel uncomfortable there
Oh and the title of this thread makes me laugh every time

After the visit, there's a big gap in between wustl and notre dame now. I'm pretty much set there, unless there's a suprise offer that I can't turn down.

You should use your Yale acceptance notification to wipe away the tears.

With a Yale acceptance in hand, there shouldn't be any tears.

Well if I got into Yale, there would be an insane amount of tears - tears of joy that is.
