Hi guys,

I recently got an email from Cornell saying that my application is on waitlist and that I should wait until 15th April for further notification. Are there anyone else who got into their waitlist? What are the chances of converting this into an admission? Does anyone have any relevant information about Cornell's waitlist? Like how many will they generally put in waitlist and the percentage of conversion. This is one of my best applications and is looking forward for their decision.

Thanks in advance!

I guess Cornell has already given away all the decisions for FE track already. I don't think there's anyone who haven't heard from them at all. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Did Cornell release acceptance in batches last year? I see some people got accepted yesterday, wondering if that means I am rejected.
According to records, it seems that they will send more offers during Feb.

I guess this year they would be onboarding less students as many would have deferred from last year. Not sure though about this though.

According to Risk.net, only 46% of the offer holders would enroll. So I would say you do have a chance to get in.

They generally send out twice as many offers. They will target the yield rate with acceptance rate.

It says on their website that they don't generally accept defers. Not sure about last year's tho.
Kathryn said in a webinar in November that although they typically do not accept defers, they were offered last year for obvious reasons. I am assuming a fair amount of people deferred because the class size dropped from 78 to 27.

Is there a WhatsApp (or any other platform) group for the Fall 2021 Cornell FE batch? If not, maybe we can start one?
