Thanks, we submitted the interview request on 11/09 and we havenā€™t heard back yet.

23

My daughter had her optional interview last night (rescheduled from tuesday night due to alumā€™s baby being sick). She requested it 11/5 and was sent an email on 11/8 from the alum.

Nice - is this an informal/informational session or a formal one that gets reported back to admissions? Congratulations and all the best to your daughter!

We assume notes will be exchanged with admissions. Unlike others that requested an interview, my daughter was contacted for one, i.e., she did not initiate it. Therefore, we know it is being coordinated by admissions.
My daughter mentioned it was a casual, low-pressure exchange of information with the interviewer answering as many questions as she asked.
Reference was made to a change this year- rather than being assigned applicants to interview, the person who reached out said she was able to choose which students to speak with. She lives near us and graduated from the same school my daughter applied to.

Can we assume the alumni have access to the studentā€™s application ( i.e. the student they are going to interview?) . Thanks

Which Cornell college(s) are doing interviews? Itā€™s not all of them, is it?

29

No, alumni do not see the application. The only information we get is the students name, contact information, intended college and major. Other than AAP, alumni meetings are non evaluative. The university even did away with the report forms last cycle and all admission knows is if a meeting took place or not.

Also, do not worry if your student isnā€™t contacted for a meeting - there are simply not enough alumni to reach everyone, which is why the meetings are non evaluative.

Has anyone received a likely letter/email for Fall 2022 ED (but not a recruit)? If so, when did you receive it?

33

have not seen one yet. When does Cornell send likely letters for EDs, I think I have seen the decision announcements are 12/17

34

I donā€™t believe Cornell sends likely letters for ED unless a student is a recruited athlete.

35

did anyone just see the portal malfunction!!?!

37

Did anyone else get an interview invitation email from CAAAN alumni. I received one and the interviewer says like as if it is not informational but more like an evaluation interview.

"As a Cornell Alumni, my job is to help the Cornell admission committee obtain extra information about you thatā€™s not presented in your application materials, and also help you know more about Cornell. So, please come with any questions about Cornell. "

38

For all schools, other than architecture, the only thing reported to Cornell is if you met. The meeting is meant to be informational.

Unless you are in AAP, the meeting is non evaluative. T

What happened?

I did. I was extremely taken aback. When I refreshed the page after a little while it went back to normal. Do you have any idea why it happened?
