No. It just means there are not enough alumni in your area.
Truly the meeting in non evaluative. Cornell did away with the reporting a few cycles ago. Itâs just an informative conversation.

Unless you are applying for architecture, Cornell doesnât offer interviews. The alumni meet ups are purely informational.

Hello all - a CSS question here - If we will not qualify for any need-based aid, is it required to submit CSS? We have already submitted FAFSA. Thanks!

Quick question. Just got an email from Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network offering a Zoom call. Did not apply Early Decision, but Regular Decision. Great extracurriculars, solid SAT, top 2% of big high school, Texas. Any advice on what to make of this, please.
Just means that an alum is available to talk with you. Prepare some questions for them and enjoy the conversation!

Itâs non evaluative as far as admissions goes but itâs a great way to ask questions of an alum. Our applicantâs interviewer said she is not allowed to write anything to the school and only lets the school know that you spoke.

Is the interview scheduling based on when you applied? Is it safe to assume if you applied on the last week/day before deadline, theyâll run out of alums for the interview?
Not necessarily. It just depends on how many alumni are in our area and who is available.

Across all the colleges I have applied to, of course, alumni availability is a factor, the biggest factor is simply how early you submit your application (according to a local ivy AO talked to at a college night). They send a list of applicants for each local area alumni to interview, it makes sense that thus if you submitted your application earlier you will be higher up on the list regardless of alumni availability. In fact, if there are MORE alumni you should get your interview earlier. But it varies, b/c I got an interview from Dartmouth earlier and there are not nearly as many Dartmouth alumni as other schools like MIT, Columbia, Princeton, Northwestern, etcâŠ

Hello, our D23 applied RD. We were able to access her application portal and financial aid status page with the same credentials before. But today, when we clicked on âAccess your Financial aid statusâ page, to see the checklist there, it took us to CUWeblogin and asking for a NetId to login. We donât know what that is and the application portal login credentials doesnât work for this page. Thoughts? We just want to see the checklist to make sure nothing is missing there. Thanks.
Just had my student try and he got the same new log in screen for financial aid that you described. Wasnât able to log in either. No idea!

Same here. The Cornell IT website âs list of scheduled outages suggests that might be related to planned maintenance.
