Cornell?

I know Cornell has sent out a lot of rejections thus far, but is it possible to speculate anything now? I.e. no rejection = good news, but how good? It seems as if last year they strung people along on almost unofficial wait lists until they decided. Does anyone have any info on this process?

I don't know, but rejection keep piling up (12 so far) and I'm scared to come home to look at my mailbox. I wouldn't view it as good news at all until we start seeing the first admits.

I think last year they started sending out admits by now. But, they did send admits and rejects at the same time after the first couple of weeks of February. So if it follows anything like the past, we will see both admissions and rejections this week.

If you live very far away, i would not consider no news=good news because decisions were sent out in the mail....

I feel like everything is far away from Ithaca. You have to travel across a dirt path to get there on horse and buggy...

Last year, they were sending a steady stream of rejections and acceptances well into later half of March.

Wow, that's a lot of rejections. At least you did get some decent offers so far.

Funded or unfunded? You would think the later ones are less likely to have fellowships attached...
