Anyone think there’s a chance they’ll call tomorrow/this week despite them saying mid Jan?
 
Me, not expecting anything but I heard rumors that they were becoming more holistic as a school so figured I’d buy a lottery ticket and see what happened 🙂
Literally 😅 I worked reeeeeeally hard on those supplemental questions so I hope that plays in my favor!

Oh, I didn't hear that...Actually, I couldn't find much on the selection process. And, the info. I did read said accepted students were in the high 3.8 area and 3.9's.
 
Me too. Scary hearing every other student there say they were accepted on a 3.9 or 4.0

Edit: although tbh I see every school as a reach school 😭
Real, I’m already mentally preparing for 15 denials but it’s not over till it’s over ✌️

Anyone have Cornell as a "reach" school "only" because of GPA?

I was told my GPA (3.78) and lack of research hours would hurt me when applying to Cornell but a Veterinarian who graduated from my undergrad is a professor at Cornell and I look up to her and really want to go into exotics/ avian so I decided it was worth a try to apply

No way they said 3.78 would be a disadvantage 🥲 I wanna go into avian/exotics too! Good luck!

May I ask who told you that? I would think that would be somewhat competitive.

I said my GPA was 3.7 to the admission person (the one that does the office hours) and she said that that's about their average an it's perfectly fine.

They typically call throughout the day depending on the schedule of the person assigned to you. It can go from morning and into the early evening even. Sometimes calls are made the following day as well.
