Visiting while waitlisted (Cornell)
I'm hoping hard for a shot at Cornell next cycle, as it's my top choice - but with a 167 ~3.7 there's a strong chance I'll be waitlisted. Would visiting Ithaca while on the waitlist do anything to help admissions, considering it's in the middle of nowhere?... Or is that just wishful thinking?

Can't hurt to stop by and talk to admissions, but I wouldn't bet on it making the difference.jasonredranger wrote:I'm hoping hard for a shot at Cornell next cycle, as it's my top choice - but with a 167 ~3.7 there's a strong chance I'll be waitlisted.

I thought Cornell only had an EA program...twentypercentmore wrote:If you're already EDing to Cornell, the "more likely to attend" boost means nothing, since you're locked in anyway. If you're RDing... consider EDing.

Basically, don't visit until ASW.
And what do you mean by "ASW?"

Cornell doesn't offer Binding Early Decision. Just an early action program.

I think he meant you're probably going to get in, so you don't have to worry about this. But yeah, visiting couldn't hurt if you do get put on reserve.

Re: Visiting while waitlisted (Cornell)
I apologize, I thought Cornell had an ED (seems dumb for them not to?).
Maybe if you get deferred from EA then? I dunno, I just don't see it as being incredibly worthwhile to visit the campus before you get admitted.
