Does Cornell have a true waitlist or is it just reserve?

sadpadresfan

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

warfart

crazy that having an II means you probably won't get an R. you've already almost secured an A or WL

What do we know about the timeline for reserves being accepted or not?

Anyone else try to gracefully bow out of the WL, per instructions, by not submitting a LOCI---and then get hit with an R? Cornell is acting like an ex trying to win the breakup
