<p>I'm a prospective student of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Looking at the website, I could not find anything about ILR requiring or even offering interviews, however on the boards, I've heard about prospective students of ILR getting interviews. So to just make this clear for me and for others, does anybody know for sure if ILR requires or offers interviews for prospective undergraduate students? And if they do, how do I schedule one? Thanks.</p>
<p>It is required for tansfers - not sure about freshmen. You can call them to find out - they're very helpful and upfront about the entire process</p>
<p>An interview with someone from ILR or just the typical non-evaluative Cornell interview after you apply? I'm an ILRie and I had the latter with some doctor who was a Human Ecology grad, so it didn't really help me. Like journey said, transfers must have an interview, but prospective freshman generally don't.</p>
<p>I was accepted ED to ILT and never got the opportunity to interview. I emailed a few different people in ILR admissions and regular admissions, and I always got back the exact same copy/paste reply:</p>
<p>"Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding a meeting with a Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassadors Network (CAAAN) member. These meetings with alumni representatives are completely optional. They are not interviews, but rather informal conversations that allow you to ask questions, become acquainted with another perspective on the university, and provide additional information about yourself.</p>
<p>CAAAN contacts with applicants are initiated by CAAAN members after prospective students submit their application, so we request that you simply wait to hear from someone. Occasionally, due to time limitations, geography, and volume, an applicant may not hear from a CAAAN volunteer. Please rest assured that your application will not be negatively affected if you are not contacted. "</p>
