Thread: Financial Aid for Internationals

We won't ever know - the best thing we can do now is move on with our lives and find another school we fit into. If you still care enough about Cornell next year, you can always apply as a transfer.

Accepted to CAS! - will post stats later

Feral, based on your posts tonight, you are clearly both a gentleman AND a scholar. I'm sure our paths will cross sometime in the process of the two of us winning the game.

Thanks bioblade. I also made copies from last years ED 2013 thread for myself, so I can confirm that these are correct. Thought that I was the only person that would do this kind of thing... lols. few more days...

I'm pretty sure engineering admissions is also read by professors as well as admissions officers.

hahahaha for me its Syracuse/RISD for first choice, then cooper union(also for fin. reasons. but seeing as I got rejected from cornell for gpa, i doubt i'll make cooper), then USC, CMU, and Cal Poly SLO. USC would be up there, but I don't really like the whole atmosphere of the school... hahahah if the recent mugging of a student in Pratt is off-putting, you're gonna LOVE usc. Compton, anyone? but uhh... hahaha RISD I'm not...

It's probably best to look over your application to see if there are any weak spots and try not to make the same mistakes for RD in other schools? Like if you had a risky essay or your essay didn't show enough passion or you emphasized your weaknesses or something lol

ha. bioblade, that's EXACTLY what I did. (deleted Cornell's CC off my bookmarks bar). Now to start on other apps...

I applied ED to Cornell CAS and was rejected. =( Can i maybe exchange my why cornell essay with the people who got accepted? I feel really bad right now and i want to know why i was just flat out rejected.

I never interviewed for Cornell, but I had other college interviews at Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, a casual cafe...I wore business casual to all of them just to be safe and it was totally fine. Unless your interviewer specifically tells you to be casual, it's better to be overdressed than underdressed.
