I'm guessing it's random or there is some kind of ranking system that is not disclosed.

I applied EA, reserved 12/15, reserved again 4/4, sill under reserve, not IR!!
Seriously Cornell....What are you doing? Haven't you learned from last year? This year, you are even slower...

Would all under review be willing to state the quartiles of the alphabet the first letter of their last name is?

ie
A-G
H-M
N-T
U-Z

Or even just first half or second half of alphabet....

Middle of first quartile.

Beginning of first quartile.

Interesting, looks like theres a good chance they're just going alphabetically.

aliarrow · Post by **aliarrow** » Thu May 26, 2011 2:54 pm

Just withdrew from Reserve, good luck everyone!

If that's the case, they forgot about me...

aaaaaah · Post by **aaaaaah** » Thu May 26, 2011 4:08 pm

Okay, went from IR 5/20 to IR 5/26.

theturkeyisfat · Post by **theturkeyisfat** » Thu May 26, 2011 4:14 pm

ok, i just saw that a bunch of people with early last names went into review, but i haven't... should i be worried? maybe call to make sure they didn't forget about me?

Waitlisted from Reserve. PM for numbers.

Ocho- First, sorry to hear. Second, did you go back under review before you got the waitlist?

TheOcho · Post by **TheOcho** » Thu May 26, 2011 4:21 pm

I haven't been checking status updates so I couldn't tell ya. Do people ever get in off of their waitlist or is it mostly people from the reserve? Sucks cause my numbers made a pretty strong candidate.

This is kind of upsetting. I really don't like that they're giving some people on reserve decisions before everyone on reserve is even back in review.

i'm assuming they'll fill all their immediate needs now, and then the waitlist will be used if spots open up later in the summer. there are stories of people getting off waitlists in july and august, so i'm sure it happens, but i don't know how often.

Just declined my offer of admission. Hope one of you gets it! best of luck.

Those of you in review from reserve: are you above LSAT median, GPA median, or both? I figure at this point they are trying to up one of them more than the other.

I def wouldn't bump either #s. 3.6/168.

sreichel · Post by **sreichel** » Thu May 26, 2011 8:49 pm

I'm still just reserve, my gpa is average but my 171 would bump up that stat. I'm end of 3rd alphabet quartile previously posted, FWIW.

thelawyler · Post by **thelawyler** » Fri May 27, 2011 1:39 am

Yeah I'm a splitter with a 169 and no action so hmm

bigjinjapan · Post by **bigjinjapan** » Fri May 27, 2011 2:00 am

Updated to IR 5/26. 170+ splitter. I don't think the WL update is necessarily bad news here; my gut feeling is that they don't have openings in the class at this point and are deciding between WL or cut.

admitted off Penn's WL recently. Will withdraw from my seat at Cornell on Monday

Kabuo · Post by **Kabuo** » Fri May 27, 2011 6:16 pm

Another week gone and still on reserve.
