Deferred.

I kinda feel like killing myself.

Really really sorry. But deferred is not rejected...keep the faith.

Thanks... I know. Just feel shitty. I told them they were my first choice, so I'm not sure how else to convince them. :/

By maintaining a positive attitude and doing as well as you can! Are you still in undergrad?

Logged on just to send some encouragement your way! It's all going to work out in your favor, Misto. There is going to be a lot of movement this cycle and you'll be in before you know it. Keep your head up! It's going to be okay

[moonman157]

is there any chance we hear back before feb 1st?

[SaintsTheMetal]

Also deferred to RD. I think it is not too surprising they are deferring a lot of people. Probably just want to see how the entire cycle shakes out for them instead of admitting tons of people in December.

I'm definitely happier to be deferred than WLed.

I know how much you wanted this, so I'm really sorry to hear this.

Deferred =/= rejection, so don't give up yet! This applies to all deferees btw

God I hope so. I can't deal with that kind of wait.

This. I think it's a much better sign to be deferred, obviously they're interested and want to look at everyone's applications in context. My last update was 11/7, so I suspect I may be joining the ranks soon. At least we're in good company!

Did we ever come to a consensus about what kind of an e-mail to send them?

When I'm in your shoes next week, I'm going to send a short and cordial email basically saying thanks for not rejecting me and to expect an update of my transcript and another LOR in January.

this seems like a decent plan. except ive been out of school so im not exactly going to have new transcripts or anything. I think im going to send one short email now and then let the chips fall where they may.

chin up dawg

[thatjuanguy]

Deferred as well.

I was planning on touring next week and I am still going to. I know at some schools this can be viewed favorably by admissions, any one know specifically if this is the case at Cornell?

Probably. It seems like they're REALLY insecure about the whole Ithaca being a frozen hellscape thing.

In my "Why Cornell," three sentences I was like, "after four years in South Florida, I think I'm ready for a cold climate like Ithaca's."

I hope they don't take it as sarcasm... because I was serious.

Same. People don't understand how refreshing four seasons are to Floridians.

[rakeshow]

wow, an explosion of posts today... looks like a lot of deferrals keep your head up everyone!
is this normal for cornell EA?

[geary86]

also deferred to RD...
At least glad I'm not an outright rejection...

[iMisto]

Thanks for the support! I'm def. going to work on getting in a good LOCI, an updated resume, and possibly another LOR.

No longer in UG, Sunny - so no future grades.

Good luck, everybody!

[guinness1547]

Anyone know how these deferrals have translated into decisions in previous years? Better than a WL, I'm assuming, but I dunno.

[FortunaGubernans]

Deferred as well! I wish we could start a club or something. Get T-shirts.

I'm seriously tempted to start a thread just for us...

Do ittttttt.

[HBBJohnStamos]

Even if one of those seasons lasts for 5-6 months?

[rakeshow]

is being deferred to RD essentially the same as someone with your stats submitting in january?
