<p>I'm applying to Cornell engineering early decision, and I heard that typically Cornell doesn't offer any interviews. So this is surprising. A few of my friends said that they were just random checks, and I got selected, and others say that the admissions officers are debating between me and someone else to admit. I'm worried about this.</p>
<p>Basically my question is: what does it mean? Is it good or bad? do i have better chances? does everyone who applies ed to engineering get an interview?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Do you not like the responses you were given on the ed thread…?
Is it an alumni interview? If so, they are purely informational. </p>
<p>Yeah haha, they didn’t really answer the question @jamesjunkers. It is an alumni interview, but i don’t understand why i was chosen, which does freak me out a bit 
</p>
<p>They are completely based on availability of alumni in your area. It’s not a good thing nor a bad thing. The point of the interview is for you to ask questions about the school. A report will be sent to Cornell, but it really has no impact on admissions, unless you did something detrimental (such as not showing up). </p>
