To the person asking about biology and society: if I remember correctly, it’s not super impacted. The problem comes about when you have to take the required courses for it because many of them overlap with bio, bioE, etc. Those entry level biology classes can have 400+ students, and Biology and Society majors have to take those classes :confused:

Also, well it is a “STEM” major, it also emphasizes social sciences I think. No program at Cornell will be too impacted, because they have the resources for all their students.

The interview obviously doesn’t hold any weight… not trying to be smug, but I had a crazy week with several college interviews and forgot to show up to my Cornell interview. I apologized profusely and rescheduled. It was definitely awkward. To my surprise, I received a likely letter and a post mail acceptance letter this past week.

863

If you haven’t received a likely letter are you “out of the running”? I applied to economics in CAS.

864

In my D’s case, it was the interviewer who forgot to show. I was thinking it would be nice if that meant an automatic admit. :wink:

865

Me: Still hopes the interview can help my application because mine went really well :’)

866

international candidate, applied to Business – Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, to the major Applied Economics and Management. i did not send in a resume… and just noticed it was required. is this bad?

867

We are in CO and my son wasn’t contacted for an interview. Do they try to interview all applicants like other schools do? Or is it only if they have alumni in the specific area? (concerned it means something otherwise)

Does anyone know if Cornell offers a summer bridge program for applicants?

870

@international_2121 what… I didn’t send it in either and applied to dyson. Where does it say it’s required??

871

Thank you @2sunny ! Son applied to Dyson so now not concerned about this :slight_smile:

872

@sonia1216 On the common app, the first specific question was about uploading a resume. Did you apply outside of the common app?

873

@momof3co I saw it but it said if you wish to submit your resume, you may upload it here. So i thought it was optional…

874

@sonia1216 As optional, I wouldn’t worry about it!

875

Do any of you guys know if Cornell assists with transportation costs? Live in CA.
