Re: Cornell Class of 2017
Well, I can confirm what kemosabe said about me saying it's March.akg144 wrote:K so early March is the typical time period - can anyone else confirm that?
I can also provide evidence if you want:
Admitted Students FAQ wrote:When will I receive my financial aid package?
In general, we start sending out financial aid packages during early March.
I'll interject and say that I don't know anybody who actually shares a bedroom. $500 per person for a 3BR downtown seems accurate.Bajam wrote:When you say roommates do you mean like same room or everyone had their own rooms in the same apartment?Lincoln wrote:Since you're all talking about housing.

Thanks for the heads up. As an older student I wish to avoid such a scene.Lincoln wrote:Since you're all talking about housing.

Re: Cornell Class of 2017
They're everywhere, really. Can't make generalizations. There are older party students, too. See: Lavitz. Kidding on all fronts. Anyways, quieter options are definitely downtown (By the commons), north campus (it's a bit of a trek but I know people who do it), or Collegetown terrace (if you can afford it).AAJD2B wrote:Thanks for the heads up.

We shared a 3-BR apartment. I had a huge bedroom to myself with four windows and a decent view.Bajam wrote:When you say roommates do you mean like same room or everyone had their own rooms in the same apartment?Lincoln wrote:Since you're all talking about housing.

Older students do, to a greater extent, live away from ctown, although there are plenty there, too. I also had a lot of grad student friends, who tend to live and hang out more downtown.

Re: Cornell Class of 2017
Really excited that I am able to check into this thread, was admitted last week. Still not sure if I am able to attend ASW.
Btw, how long does it usually take to receive the admitted students packet?

For those of you that have been admitted for a while, how long did it take for you to get info about required forms to fill out for schollies, housing, etc? I saw some of the links on the main page here, but I'd imagine us recent admits will still be getting accepted packets and additional info?

Lavitz, really looking forward to finally meeting the master behind all these fantastic Cornell threads! Hopefully you will be radiating TLS wisdom at the ASD so it will not be hard to find you Are you the only one doing the tours/lunch? That will make recognizing you that much easierLavitz wrote:So apparently I'm doing tours / lunch / casino night for ASD next week. Hope to see some of y'all there.

Re: Cornell Class of 2017
I was accepted mid January and I still have not received any required forms, scholarship info, etc. You initially get physical copies of acceptance letters you received with your email. I think that came within a week or two? Then you get a red, cloth-bound accepted students handbook within a month (at least for me it took a few weeks). That one took longer than expected to arrive but it lived up to the hype. It's indeed very beautiful. I am still waiting on all the other "important information" they said they'll send. You should just go ahead and fill out the financial aid stuff asap.SteelPenguin wrote:For those of you that have been admitted for a while, how long did it take for you to get info about required forms to fill out for schollies, housing, etc?

Re: Cornell Class of 2017
Nah, admissions would be crazy to let some 1L who's never given a tour before take everyone who shows up. There will be multiple tour groups leaving around the same time.concerto wrote:Hopefully you will be radiating TLS wisdom at the ASD so it will not be hard to find you Are you the only one doing the tours/lunch?

Last year we all gave each other hints. I plan on wearing a blue, short-sleeve, button-down shirt. That should make it easy enough.

Thanks.

Never mind. I was just banned from giving tours because I'd have to miss class.
