When is the earliest we can hear?

Anyone know if it is possible to find out your rank on the waitlist?
You gotta love this non-ranked waitlist business. Maybe we should all conspire together and send cookies and other treats to the adcom to entice them to be nice at the meeting on Thurs

I still think that some may hear this week. It wouldn't be the first time the admissions office "stretched the truth" to bide their time. Remember when they kept saying that the March acceptances wouldn't come out until the end of March? In all of the recent years' waitlist threads, the first movement has come the Thursday before May 15th. Most people will have made their decision by then - or at least they should have.
But, if Cornell follows their past procedures, be on the lookout for an email a few days before the 15th, asking you if you are still interested in remaining on their waitlist. Those who received this email and responded positively have been accepted a few days later. (at least, this is what has happened in the past)
So other years people got an email first? I guess I'll be checking my email every minute in fear of missing that important step towards possible acceptance. With the 12th and 13th falling on th weekend, anyone want to place bets whether this year will truly be May 15th? Or will it be May 14th? May 11th?
I wanna say May 11th, but I'll place my bet on May 14th (cause they want to be sure I can't relax and enjoy my weekend at all).
As the eternal Cornell optimist, I'll place my money on May 11th.

+1 I bet it is next Thursday May 17th. They'll meet Wednesday May 16 to decide how many to let in.
Called admissions office today. The committee will be meeting around May 15th to look into movement off the waitlist. I explicitly asked if it was going to be this week and the lady said she didn't think they were notifying anyone. That doesn't mean however they aren't meeting to preliminarily look at candidates. Well, lets keep our fingers crossed for a decision by the end of next week!!
On a side note, not that much activity on this thread. I hope someone on SDN gets in so that the rest of us will know. Be sure to post if you hear anything!
Edit: Did you guys fill out financial aid stuff?
No, not yet, but I think that maybe I should. I hear need access is really a killer. I think that deep down I'm afraid that somehow Cornell would find out and think me presumptuous if I started an account .
No, no, that's good to hear. I'm on the Yale waitlist too, and apparently there was a 5/1 deadline for financial aid there...how can you have a deadline if you're not even accepted yet??? Just wanted to make sure I hadn't made the same mistake twice
I'm not sure. I called financial aid a while back and they told me that the turn around time for the specific Cornell aid application was only about 48 hours. Unless we are notified today about getting accepted, we probably wouldn't make the cut off in time to get our deposits back from other schools (May 15 deadline). I know there is also a $15 fee with submitting the application, so it doesn't make sense to pay for it unless you are accepted.

Unless someone heard something and we don't know about it, I guess I'll have to eat my words on this one. Oh well, hopefully good news will come next week.
Any news?
Hi everyone,
I keep checking this thread as well in search of news. I called the admissions office yesterday. The lady said that they were supposed to notify us yesterday, but that the notification was postponed. She told me that they would definitely let us know by the end of this week. Maybe today?!
Also, I called because I found out one of my update letters was not delivered by email. Turns out they just changed the admissions office's email address. Just a heads up, it is now [email protected].
Best of luck to everyone on the waitlist!

Not sure. She didn't explicitly say what they would include in the email.
