Cornell c/o 2015 Applicants (2011-2012 cycle)

[JDizzle2015]

so, after stalking last year's thread... it looks like the deferred folks started hearing back end of march/beginning of april timeframe. there were a couple accepts but mostly reserved.. and i stopped there but read someone from the prior year say that the rejects from deferral don't roll around until the summer (july)...

tl;dr: deferred? make other plans.

Thanks for the info!

Pretty bummed about Cornell but I'm simi-stoked to finally hit the ding bar.

Well that's not encouraging.. so glad I applied EA so that I would have a decision early on. I'd prefer a rejection so this would be done with, rather than being dicked around until July.

There were some acceptances and they seemed to come by the beginning of april. at least for me, that would be before my first seat deposit is due (boston college is due the at the end of april) and many other schools

sorry to be the bearer of bad news i can't wait to see what you have for the ding bar. and fwiw, you may still have a chance. i think this cycle will be at least slightly different than last cycle

In via email today. Excited!

Honestly, I applied to Cornell with some idea of possibly going there. I was looking forward to visiting the campus and pretty sure of getting in (at or above both 75%). With my numbers it seemed like the best school I could possibly get some money at, and the more I read about Ithaca and the campus the most excited I got about visiting there and possibly attending. Now I'm seriously considering withdrawing. Thanks Cornell. I don't know what's going on with your admissions, but it's rubbing me the wrong way.

Wow, this thread has been such a roller coaster lately. Good luck to all still waiting. I'm with ya! #solidarity

I was shocked by your deferral :-/

Thanks. Me too, to be honest. Congrats for getting in!

In today! Can't believe it. It was a total stretch school for me!

[Elendil]

I've updated 3 or 4 times with my most recent one being today 12/19. Is anybody else in this situation who hasn't gotten an acceptance email?

On my third update (12/19), first complete in late November, above both 75ths...

[FavoriteColorGRUE]

My status also just went back to complete after UR 11/29, 12/16.

I'm freaking out about return to complete as well.

Anyone get decisions after this step back?

I'm in this exact boat as well. I've checked the tread, and it doesn't look like it's happened to others...

Let me clarify with my updates: I believe I was complete late November, under review last week, and back to complete yesterday. I don't keep a close tab on my exact dates but I'm pretty sure thats' is accurate. You're not alone.

Thanks Elendil - nice to be in good company! Are you by any chance waiting on a Dec. LSAT score? (I am, and maybe that has something to do with reverting back to "complete"). Yay speculation games.

So do people actually think getting deferred is equivalent to a ding? Given the pretty low yield rate for Cornell, I expected to have a *better* shot in regular decision since people who got into a T6 will start to withdraw in January-February.

[Nobody]

It's probably because they still have a really small class size.

Do you mind sharing your stats?

The problem is that law schools keep that in mind and accept more students than they have spots for.

Given that Cornell has deferred me, my chances in any other t14 look really, really bad.

Don't lose hope. I was deferred at Cornell but got into two other T14s (and haven't been dinged at any yet). I'm a hard-to-predict splitter, but my cycle shows that a Cornell deferral doesn't necessarily mean getting locked out of the T14. Good luck!

You, I like your moniker.

Ashkenazi or Mizrahi?

[emkay625]

This deferral has me worried about the rest of the T-14 as well.

Well I've been reading this thread for the past couple of days and I'm very surprised. I got in with a pretty low GPA and thought for sure I'd be rejected. If I had to guess, I would not think that a deferral is a ding. A lot of you have way better numbers than me so I would keep hope.

Ashkenazi - German and Russian.

Nice! Good luck with your cycle.

[JDizzle2015]

Thank you. I needed to hear this.

Another in at T14, deferred at Cornell... Don't lose hope!

[Green Glass Windows]

I love how supportive this thread is. Seriously. I hope you guys all end up getting in!
