Cornell c/o 18 Applicants Forum

[mindthegap]

Finally, movement! submitted early- to mid- December, complete 1 1/09 and complete 2 1/23.

Lucky duck.

I logged on to my status checker as soon as I saw your post but, nope, still complete 1 (12/22).

It's still early enough in the day!! ^^

Ah, true. I live across the Atlantic so I suppose my frantic status checking would be best served later in the day. Maybe they'll decide to throw me a bone. Anyway, good luck!

the Pacific, here. I at least get to sleep (restlessly) and wake up to good/bad/non-existent news. Probably explains my lack of sleep for the past month

I interviewed Tuesday afternoon, and was placed on reserve this morning. My numbers are above both 75th percentiles. Cornell really is one of my top choices. What does the reserve list mean? What can I do at this point to get in? If I get in, can I still get scholarship money?

I was under the impression that Cornell didn't do YP. Has anybody been able to get off the reserve lost before they review the list again in late May?

[monkeyKT]

Just got placed on reserve. Pretty shocked and disappointed. Cornell was one of my top choices.

What exactly does it mean to be placed on reserved? Is that equivalent to WL?

WL'd/reserved. UR3: 12/23. GPA<25,LSAT>75.

I am now 1 and 7 for acceptances - wl's/rejections. Fun!

[giantswan]

Placed on reserve - sort of expected it considering my stats and how long they took to get to me.

GPA < 25
LSAT > 75

Submitted mid-September.

Placed on reserve. Expected to be rejected, so all is good!

Kind of surprised they emailed me on a Saturday, though :/

[hearsay77]

i too was just placed on reserve

does anyone know if you can reply to the email directly indicating you want to take your spot or do you send a separate one?

I think either is fine, since it will go to the same email address anyway.

I replied to the email directly and received an answer the same day stating that they would make note of it

[hopeboaltberkeley]

did all the waitlists answer the "why cornell?" and "who recommended the school to you?"

[Jamdung]

On reserve as well...

[KMart]

did all the waitlists answer the "why cornell?" and "who recommended the school to you?"

The former but not the latter for me (WLed today).

[1234aqwe]

I answered both. Not surprised at the waitlist with my GPA though.

Honest question: if Cornell is the lowest T14 I applied to and I only did it in the hopes of big $$, where should I begin looking to answer the "why Cornell" question?

For Clinics
For Centers
For Journals

I found two things from the website that aligned with my goals/interest and wove it into a coherent short paragraph.

Oops, just realized that I skipped a question on my LikeLive interview. No idea how I missed it. Anybody else have this happen??

[whereselizabeth]

Interview people....how many date changes after going complete before you received a request?

Journals are a pretty weak answer. Clinics and maybe centers are good if they really align with your interests.

Best answer: http://www.visitithaca.com/ + something about a "small, intimate community."
