Cornell Early Action
Is there a specific time frame for Cornell's early action decision? Is it like Duke's 10 day policy or more of a "we'll try and get to it as soon as we can" kind of deal?

Re: Cornell Early Action
Do you guys know whether being accepted EA means definitely not receiving any merit scholarship $$?

Re: Cornell Early Action
ED is probably what you're thinking of, since it's binding. In those cases, I would think merit aid would be less generous since they don't have to woo you to come.champ33 wrote:Do you guys know whether being accepted EA means definitely not receiving any merit scholarship $$?
EA really just ensures a more prompt decision and wouldn't affect merit aid.

Re: Cornell Early Action
Was there an EA contract or form for Cornell? Or was it just that if you submit by a certain point you are considered EA?

Re: Cornell Early Action
Note if you don't check yes on question 8 of the form, they won't process you as EA. Last year, they would call people to ask them if they are sure they don't want to do EA if they have there forms in on time. But the safest bet is to check yes on 8 and then submit before the EA deadline.im_blue wrote:"Please note, any application complete as of November 15, 2010, will be considered for our early action process.

Also, yes you can get merit aid if accepted EA, but you will not be notified until much later (Feb - Mar) of what merit aid you will receive.
Edit: Also as someone else said, yes you get the decision early, but it still seems to take forever to get since you submitted so early. Also note that "defer" is a possible decision. Plenty of people last year who applied EA were deferred to RD.
