Having decided to attend a different school, I finally just threw up my hands and withdrew without ever receiving a decision. No confirmation, but status check as of yesterday now reads "Your application has been withdrawn." I submitted late-ish (late December/early January if I recall) but by no means ridiculously late.
I do declare, Cornell, I wish I had saved the $12 I spent to submit my application to you and used it to buy an extra sushi roll when I went out to dinner last night.
Why are they such a hot mess? Is this just the world's weirdest YP strategy? Just wait until everyone with better options has already deposited elsewhere and withdrawn their application before rendering > 50% of your decisions?
