Cornell SHA interviews

Hey guys, I recently applied to Cornell’s SHA for Fall 2017 and just had the optional interview I signed up for. Can these interviews benefit my application in any way?

Hi, I have a brother attending the business school and friends in the hospitality program at Cornell. I’m planning on applying ED next fall. From what I am told, the Cornell interview is strongly recommended, and keep in mind it used to be mandatory. When they are filtering through applications, the opportunity to get to talk to you in person really lets admissions determine if you’re a good fit for the school. Hope this helps, and please update your admissions results once you hear back! Good luck!!!
