I submitted on 9/24 and I've been "processing" since 10/1. I think they're just really slow with everyone right now.zworykin wrote:Submitted a couple weeks ago. I've been "processing" since 10/14.

Re: Cornell 2011 applicants
I want to hold out for a fee waiver... but if they haven't given me one already (at/above both medians), my guess is that the October LSAT won't change anything. Maybe I should just send. I like the M.LL.P. program they have in Berlin.

Cornell happens to be one of the 19 schools I've applied to, yes...

Re: Cornell 2011 applicants
I was looking over last year's Cornell applicants thread and it seems the people who applied EA were mostly deferred and then strung along till May-ish until a final decision was made. They made it sound like they filled up lots of the spots from RD applicants and then used the people waiting from EA to fill up remaining spots/ppl who withdraw or deny their offers until they can fill up the entire class.
But my stats are probably ideally best served applying EA because I am a splitter. (hoping for a 168-170 from Oct/10).
Any suggestions or ideas of how EA really works?

Re: Cornell 2011 applicants
Got any hypothesis for why Cornell would be the only school that actively penalizes people who apply early? That sounds pretty ridiculous to me. It's more likely that the people posting in that thread weren't a representative sample.1republic wrote:I was looking over last year's Cornell applicants thread and it seems the people who applied EA were mostly deferred and then strung along till May-ish until a final decision was made.

Re: Cornell 2011 applicants
No, not really. It's the only school that I am applying to that has an Early Action deadline, as opposed to schools with Early Decision or simply applying sooner than later (with all the same deadline).Bumi wrote:Got any hypothesis for why Cornell would be the only school that actively penalizes people who apply early?1republic wrote:I was looking over last year's Cornell applicants thread and it seems the people who applied EA were mostly deferred and then strung along till May-ish until a final decision was made.

I'm taking the LSAT in December so good luck to us all! Cornell IS my top choice regardless of where I get accepted.

Re: Cornell 2011 applicants
It might actually make a lot of sense. They're not in the admissions game to make friends, and people who did EA are binding themselves to Cornell. This means they can try and build the class they want out of the regular applicant pool, see who signs up, and then cherry pick the EA people since they don't have to offer them scholarships. I could see a logic here that might be deemed evil, might be deemed logical, but is probably very effective, especially in a year where their applications increased by 52 percent. http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2010/02/09/we- ... -duke-etc/. Alternatively, they might have just had their hands full wading through all those extra applications. But I like the explanations that assume nefarious conspiracies.

Re: Cornell 2011 applicants
Or, wait, is EA binding or non-binding? I can't remember.

Re: Cornell 2011 applicants
EA to Cornell isn't binding. I'm really hoping that the number of applications to Cornell goes down this year... I'm especially worried since their median GPA/LSAT went up to 3.7/168.mr_toad wrote:It might actually make a lot of sense.
