Funny, Cornell seems to be one of the few places where the rejections pour in before the acceptances. Unless nobody who got accepted posts to gradcafe.

I regret to inform you that your application for admission to the Ph.D. program in Operations Research at Cornell University for the Fall 2018 term has not been approved. Since the number of students we can accommodate is limited and the overall quality of applicants has been exceptionally high this year, it is not possible for us to accept all of the fine students who are interested in coming to Cornell. Thank you for your interest in our program. I wish you success in your future endeavors! Sincerely, Jim Dai, PhD Leon C. Welch Professor of Engineering

Very sad, as this was my top choice. However, I was preparing for this since I saw the offers go out last week. I plan to get a Master's degree, new letter writers, apply to present and publish, go to a field school, work, retake GRE's, just give my whole profile a big ol' makeover, and try again when I am confident that I am a competitive candidate!
