[Rubbishdump]

Thank god I have a 3.9

[tinafeyclone]

maybe an abnormal amount of people applied to cornell this year?

[Bourbon Democrat]

Wait list

GPA > 75th
LSAT between 25th and median

A bit different from the rest of y'all as I am a reverse splitter.

Did you interview?

Negative, no interview.

I wish they focused on my GPA!!!!

I think this always happens from past threads I've seen. It's a small school so they are selective. People assume because it's 13th they take more people but that's not the case. Their acceptance rate is on par with most other T14s

Sorry to everyone getting dinged/placed on reserve
Surprised because almost all of you have numbers that would, IMO, are strong enough for Cornell...which is why I think it's weird...

Did you all interview?? Did you find out via statuschecker or email??

I didn't interview. Got the email then saw someone on here say they saw it via status checker so I peeked at the status checker as well, which was updated.

Same here

In via phone call today. LSAT = 75th, GPA = ~25th (below 3.7). I've got a somewhat particular background, though based on what people on here define as super softs I don't think they'd be considered that. Interviewed in Mid-December.

YP usually comes in the form of waitlists, I think

+1

[joeytribbiani]

Dinged today as well, LSAT>75th but GPA under 25th so I guess it makes sense based on numbers of others getting dings as well. Oh well, happy with my other options so no point being too down about it. Good luck to everyone else still waiting!

[AJordan]

It does seem like Cornell is angling recently to become the Berkeley of the east. Except without the awesome city. Or the weather. Or anything resembling a society outside a Stephen King novel.

Any sense on what the GPA floor may be?

[addie1412]

Is today's bloodbath over or should I continue obsessively refreshing my status checker?

[addie1412]

Any sense on what the GPA floor may be?

The lowest I've seen accepted on LSN thus far has been 3.70

Here's to hoping they have a significant preference for alumni.

[LtotheB]

Placed on reserve today with a GPA (barely) >75th from an Ivy and LSAT between 25th and median. Never got any interview.

I want it to be over already

For those who have been WL/dinged did you guys interview? Mildly worrying over here since I've been UR2 since 12/14 and I haven't been invited to an interview yet

Check out that graph, wow that is rough.

I've got the same dates as you, no interview. Hopefully this means there is no cause to worry for the two of us and that it's typical with the holiday break.

[tinafeyclone]

Dinged with LSAT >> 75%, GPA at median. No interview. Cornell wasn't a top school but still really surprised

Oh god. My median GPA gave me a little hope but after seeing this, I will proceed to brace myself.

Sorry about Cornell but I'm almost certain you'll get into even better schools

Legit just got into Duke 2 hours after the Cornell rejection...wtf Cornell

Thank you for this!! I really hope it means the same thing too
