Saw the request for info on Cornell acceptance. In the phone call I received on 1/26 from the DGS, he mentioned that the committee had "reviewed all of the applications" and they were admitting about 10% from a strong pool. Interpret that as you will but maybe don't completely rule out possibility of a waitlist or very-late acceptance?

To the poster "Have mailed college regarding decision 3 times in last 2 months": are you talking about the Master of Science program? If so, I don't think I have seen any acceptance here yet. Only results are for the Master of Engineering program. I hope they keep their word for releasing the decision by today.

Received a very nice informal email from a professor letting me know I am admitted with full funding/tuition waiver and that an official letter is on the way. So, so excited; hardly slept last night!
