How does grading work? Is an "A" worth more than an "A-"? Also, do the dorms have A/C and/or heaters? Is grading very difficult? Do you find the size of Cornell to be daunting? What is your major? Which college did you apply to? Early decision?
Sorry for some many questions!

@jencatshow Letter grades correspond to a number scale which determines your GPA (grade point average). At Cornell, the correspondence is as follows:
A+: 4.3
A: 4.0
A-: 3.7
B+: 3.3
B: 3.0
C+: 2.7
A "perfect" GPA is technically a 4.3 (which is practically impossible), but a 4.0 is also considered perfect to whomever you talk outside of the school.
Some dorms have A/C, and I think all have heaters. There aren't too many months when it gets too hot, though.

@jencatshow Some classes (usually introductory ones) are graded on a curve, which means that you essentially have to "beat the mean" to do well in that class. Otherwise, grading is very fair. You'll need to work hard to succeed, but I think that if you put enough time into any class, you can do well.
I'm a Computer Science major in the College of Engineering. I did not apply early decision, but if you're set on Cornell, then doing so will increase your chances of admission.
