Has everyone heard their decision yet? Rejections, WLers and Admits? I'm pretty sure I was forgotten

Does anyone know the % of applicants interviewed that get w/listed? As in what are one's chances of still getting in?

I read a past blog on w/l students. According to Randall approx 20 students get taken from the wait list each year. It depends solely on the yield of those they've made offers to. They refuse to disclose the number of candidates who remain on the waitlist - but they do review it on an ongoing basis.

I imagine most of the action will take place come the deposit deadline.

Hi ariel,

I would like to know what is the range of days during which Cornell sends out invitations an interviews?

My application is under review.

thanks

I'm sorry Pkit, I'm not with admissions and don't have that kind of info. I think my status was under review for a couple of weeks before I received an interview invite last year. That might not be the case with you though.

Hi Ariel:

Is the scholarship the only source of grant (i.e. free money)? In other words, if I don't receive any scholarship, I need to pay for 100% of tuition and board?

Thanks,

I applied R2 and was waitlisted.

6 years w/e
Cornell '05 Applied Economics and Management
GPA - 3.23
GMAT - 710

I have two questions:

1.) Is it the case that everyone who interviews but does not recieve admission get waitlisted? Or are they rejecting people as well?

2.) Can I contact someone in admissions to get feedback as to why I was waitlisted (i.e. what areas did the admissions comitee feel I was weak in)? If so who should I contact?

They reject a few but from the sample size on this forum, they waitlist a lot more than they directly reject. Acceptance off the waitlist can't be more than 15% at most schools and I'm betting Cornell is the same.

I think you are assuming that the same proportion of people who get rejected report here as those who get waitlisted (I've been WL-ed also). I can think of at least three reasons this assumption might be wrong:

1) Rejects are likely to be less dedicated to the application process than WL-ers, thus they are less likely to participate on this forum

2) Rejects are less motivated (more upset) to make their results public

3) Rejects don't have much incentive to find out more about what implications their status carries (they're rejected - that's it; WL-ers at least stand some chance, so they want to find out more)

Cheers!

Ooh, somebody wants to play a semantics game. When I said "from the sample on this forum," I meant from the sample on this forum. If somebody put their info on the roll call and didn't update it beyond interviewed, I can most likely assume it's not a positive result. It's also not a secret schools usually waitlist a "ton" of people comparatively to how many people will likely come off of it. I doubt Cornell is like Haas's low single digit probability but I remember from old clearadmit interviews with Randall it wasn't good at all.

How many times are you going to edit this post? I keep trying to respond but everytime I do it has changed.

Dude, no need to get touchy. The implication in your initial post was that based on the info in this forum, one can infer that they WL more than they ding. That may not have been your intent, but that's the way it reads. The subsequent post merely pointed out the flaw in that logic. In no way did he/she question your WL acceptance claim of approximately 15%.

I know this is a stressful process, but let's not bicker kids.

That's exactly why I had to edit it. I realized his post didn't even have anything to do with my main point, the 15% claim, but whether more people got waitlisted when compared to those rejected "on this board." Where's the flaw in logic really? Most people on here are international applicants that spend incredibly more effort on their apps than the typical applicant. Of those that interviewed, it's not really unexpected for more people to get WLed on this board than directly rejected.
