Cornell has four rounds.... R4 (22 March). Will put in my application for R3.... lets see what happens.

Ya, what I was trying to say was that for most schools R3 is brutal, but that's because it's the final round. As you point out, R3 isn't the last round for Cornell so it's not considerably tougher than R1/R2. I'm applying R3 as well.

folks...what's the scene on the R2 invites.. Is it all over now?

I was wondering about the same issue as R2 applicant. Some R2 folks have received invites, but I haven't heard anything yet. Does it mean a ding at this stage and move on?

I think it's too early to lose hope. The notification deadline for R2 isn't until Feb. 15, and judging from prior years there are more invites to go out. It's quiet now because of the holidays, but after they reopen this week I suspect there will be some movement.

yea..hanging on.. but does no one here know any student who could throw some light? or maybe the students on this thread could chip in?

Hello fellow Cornell applicants... Long time lurker here...came out of hiding to ask an urgent question Does anybody know what time does Johnson use for deadlines? is it 11:59 EST like most east coast schools? I would really appreciate your help...I has a series of unfortunate events, now I'm racing to finish up the application in time for R3.. Thanks in advance and best of luck to all...

Yes... 11:59 PM EST. Just get it in atleast an hour before the deadline to buffer against any potential last minute issues (credit card problems, internet going down, etc etc...).

Thanks Andrew, you're a life save! the plan is to submit tonight... by the way, I looked all over for that piece of information, where did you come across it? Thanks again
