Does Cornell have a true waitlist or is it just reserve?
19:13
I believe it’s reserve = waitlist, but the dean said they make around 200 acceptances from reserve so it’s a much better waitlist than others
how long after the interview should i expect to wait for a decision
16:39
crazy that having an II means you probably won't get an R. you've already almost secured an A or WL

@YouthfulRampantPhoenix: pretty sure they want one personal statement. I combined two prompts I wanted to answer into one essay
Just got the Reserve from Cornell a few hours ago - idk what to make of it
(Had II before, it took about 50 days before the reserve decision)
