anyone know cornell's 25th gpa? i see different numbers everywhere

2008 Incoming Class (not 2009) 25th GPA was 3.54

[finalaspects]

Went to decision today. Can I safely say that I'm more than likely in?

It went to decision today? Not 2 days ago?

what are ur stats

[finalaspects]

This makes sense, but it makes more sense if the people who have received a pre-thanksgiving decision are being deferred.

I mean think about it if most of the people aren't auto-admits but also not auto-rejects they probably want to take a look at them when they have a better idea of what the applicant pool looks like come February.

i too think that your analysis makes sense. although there has never been (at least according to LSN) a mass deferral in the first batch of decisions. deferrals or rejections seem to come sporadically in the beginning.

what was about the avg gpa and lsat accepted so far?

ABA says 3.24 for 2009 and I believe that's matrics.

for this who went to decision today when did you guys apply?

[bowie8285]

has anyone who went to decision 11/20 hear back yet? or got anything in the mail? i would really like to know the answer to that to get an idea of the kind of wait we 11/24 ppl are in for

Incoming Class for Fall 2009

The median LSAT score for the 2009 entering class was 167 and the median undergraduate GPA was 3.61.

i don't know the avg. but all that have been updated to decision (not necessarily accepted) had just 1 out of gpa and lsat over median. then the one guy who is international and just had the +median lsat score and no lsac gpa.

[ankit]

Do they send decisions via e-mail as well? I noticed from last year's Cornell thread that the link to the admitted students' website got updated a few days after some status checkers went to decision. We'll just have to wait it out I suppose....

I went to decision today, but it's dated 11/24

I have my window minimized on my monitor to hide it, and I was going to the Cornell status checker and scrolling down I saw EARLY ACTION COMPLETE then EARLY ACTION DEFERRAL, and I was like OMFG ARG DEFERRAL. Then I realized it was just a list of every status you could possibly have and I wasn't even logged in yet.

applied 10/22, complete 11/3, decision 11/24

[najumobi]

it looks like the trend is continuing with no auto-admits (both numbers above median) being updated to decision.

[Veritas]

so, if this was a deferral it would show up on the status checker, right?

[bowie8285]

i just realized 11/20 and 11/24 aren't that far apart due to the weekend between them, just friday and tuesday.....i wonder if they mailed them out on those exact dates

[Cupidity]

I'm still not complete!!!! WTF. It's been three weeks Cornell.

[crackberry]

I am above both medians (above both 75ths in fact) and I am still at EA Complete (since 10/1).

[cougarlive]

is there an admitted students website that we can log into to see if we were accepted? my status went to decision and i'm very nervous

When did you go to decision? Is Cornell seeing movement today?
