*itā€™s a common mistake tbh, i thought it was dec 15 too until i researched a bit online

Ah, thanks. Well thatā€™s exciting, I wasnā€™t expecting to hear back so soon.

Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster, EDing to ILR. Iā€™m a little nervous because I know alumni interview reports are due 11/30, and I havenā€™t heard from anyone. Meanwhile, a girl from my school who is also EDing ILR has apparently had an alumni interview and is rumored to have gotten an interview with admissions even though ILR doesnā€™t offer them. Is this just luck of the draw, or is there something I should do to demonstrate interest (that Cornell doesnā€™t track) given that this girl has gone to such extremes? Confused :(.

@yikescolle9e if ILR doesnā€™t give formal interviews and she supposedly got an interview with admissions then sheā€™s probably not telling the truthā€¦

@chillmint I am also an international applicant, but i havenā€™t received any email like that. When did you receive it ?

Is anyone elseā€™s self service portal down? Mine keeps saying there is an issue for the past hour.

Yeah mine is having the same issue. Iā€™m assuming they are updating financial aid.

Finally!! lol

@asees_Njr about 15hrs ago! maybe check ur spam?

@chillmint i checked my spam but it is not there. I had received an email some time ago from Cornell regarding the ā€˜International Student Admissions Ambassadorsā€™ and to reach out to them regarding any questions about Cornell and the campus community. Did you receive this ?

@Asees_Njr Yes!! same one. somehow i received it this morning ahaha idk how come some people received in october and some people received in novemberā€¦

@chillmint haha okay ! Thanks for the help ! :slight_smile:

So I had originally thought the site was down due to updating financial aid but mine still say initiatedā€¦ ugh

I only see FAFSA and Student FAFSA on my financial aid to do list. Shouldnā€™t it include CSS too?

Everything disappeared from my financial to do list (everything used to be ā€œinitiatedā€), except ā€œFederal W2 - Parentā€ and ā€œFed. Student Aid App (FAFSA)ā€. I guess itā€™s good to see some progress, even though all of these things were submitted a while ago.

@rapscallion that interesting, as after the system came back, the financial to do list is unchanged, all items still initiated.

@yikescolle9e Do you go to a high school that starts with a B?
