Cornell waiting room
Haven't seen a thread for Cornell yet, so here we go. Good luck to everyone. Anyone hear anything yet? Anyone under review according to their status checker?

Re: Cornell waiting room
Good luck! I applied EA too. Is there any reason NOT to apply EA, since it's non-binding? I don't know why anybody would apply RD if they're early enough to do EA, unless I'm missing something.tintin wrote:holler. my app has been "ready for review" for about forever.

A little off-topic, but wow, is Cornell beautiful or what? Nice picture. Good luck to all the applicants this cycle: I'll be in your shoes next fall.js87 wrote:Haven't seen a thread for Cornell yet, so here we go. Good luck to everyone. Anyone hear anything yet?

Re: Cornell waiting room
Just submitted my application tonight for EA. A Cornell acceptance would be a great Christmas present.

I don't suppose anyone here has heard about people who took the Sept 2009 LSAT receiving Cornell fee waivers yet?

Re: Cornell waiting room
Submitted on Friday and got the email today saying my app has been received. Applied EA as well. If I get dinged from Chicago this would be a nice consolation.

Re: Cornell waiting room
One of my top choices. Submitted my app on the 17th. They have me listed as "applied" so I guess they are still waiting on the LSDAS materials.

Re: Cornell waiting room
I'll join this waiting room. I like the decor.
Just created my "status checker" user id and password. I opted against using "monkey85" as my user id.
Good luck everyone! I think Ithaca would be awesome.

No. I filled in the three lines provided on the application itself but did not write a separate essay.clint4law wrote:did you guys write a "why cornell" essay?

Re: Cornell waiting room
Another Cornell ED candidate, checking in.
Just submitted, although LSDAS is holding me up with slow transcript processing. I see no reason why I shouldn't be complete by the 15th, however.
Incidentally, I know that general admissions are rolling -- is the same true of EA and ED? That is to say, will someone who submitted their app on September 1st have an advantage over us end-of-monthers?
For what it's worth, CU is a legitimate reach for me, but not totally out of my grasp; a letter of admission from Cornell would be a wonderful Christmas gift.
Here's hoping we all have a chance to matriculate "far above Cayuga's waters" next fall.

Re: Cornell waiting room
I thought about it, but between several transcripts, multiple addendums, etc., my file's going to be thick enough as it is. The admissions officers have enough to read from me; I don't want to put them in a foul mood with superfluous materials.clint4law wrote:did you guys write a "why cornell" essay?

Thank you, that's awfully kind. With your numbers and background, I'd be surprised if you were anything less than a lock. Here's hoping lady fortune smiles down on both of us.boo_pragmatism wrote:One can only hope. However, given the fact that your username just oozes machismo, I think Cornell would be downright mad not to admit you.

Re: Cornell waiting room
Incidentally, and I apologize if this is a silly question, but what have people titled their "Why X" letters?
At the top of each letter I'm sending in to schools, I'm listing my name, LSAC # and a generalized title for the file (Personal Statement, Academic Addendum, etc.).
Is it acceptable to call "Why X" letters, for example, "Why Cornell?" I'm looking for something a little more artful. Sorry for the silly question, but any serious input would be appreciated, as a few schools (UCI, etc.) require such submissions.

Re: Cornell waiting room
I think you have an excellent point there -- application materials should be direct, and never more so than with institution-specific documents. Simply writing "Why X" at the top of the page fits that bill. You've sold me.boo_pragmatism wrote:+1 to that.Jacques wrote:Thank you, that's awfully kind. With your numbers and background, I'd be surprised if you were anything less than a lock. Here's hoping lady fortune smiles down on both of us.
As to your question regarding the Why X, I just simply titled it "Why Cornell." Maybe not artful, but direct. I think an adcomm might appreciate the direct approach when inundated with applications.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
