The most common questions about Early Decision (ED) are: What is Early Decision exactly? How does ED differ from Early Action? What does “binding” mean?

Students interested in applying for Early Decision should know they can only apply to one Early Decision institution. If accepted, students are “bound” to attend. Students applying for ED can apply to other schools that have Early Action plans because Early Action schools are typically non-binding. If accepted to a school via ED, students must withdraw their Early Action and Regular Decision applications for other institutions.

After a long year of classes, exams, clubs, friendships, and everything in between, Cornell students celebrate Slope Day, an end-of-the-school-year concert event that takes place on Libe Slope (short for “Library Slope”) in the spring.

In 2023, we’ve hit #2 on the list!

The food is obviously good, but here are my top five places to eat on campus.
