Cornell C of A and S Interviews..?

It says on their site that they don’t offer interviews (“in most instances we don’t offer or require interviews for prospective students”)… I got one, and was one of the few (I think 1 other student in my school got one that I know of, but I know many who did not), and I am wondering… what does this mean? Why did I get one if it says specifically in their site they don’t offer?

When was it? Really try not to overthink it, as hard as it may be!

@greenstudent I got it feb 10… it was right before the interview deadline (feb15)-- very last minute I guess, since most my interviews were mid January!

Is it an alumni interview? I believe that’s the only kind of interview CAS offers. Whether or not you get offered one is based entirely on the availability of alumni and really has no bearing on admissions; it’s more of an informational interview for you.

It’s just an informal talk, don’t overthink it.

It will not affect your application at all unless you throw some huge red flags about your personality
