Interview

<p>i was called for an interview...and i have a few questions.</p>

<p>the ambassador said it was informal,and that's about all she said...
i'm not really nervous but anyone got any tips or suggestions?</p>

<p>secondly, how much does the interview play into the admissions process? have the representatives to cornell seen my application and therefore would ask questions related to it?</p>

<p>lastly, what do they ask/talk about?! academics, non-academics, life in general, current events? </p>

<p>replies appreciated.</p>

<p>quickly, what school are you applying to? the interviews vary from college to college.</p>

<p>Hello,
Which school did you apply to? Did you apply for Early Decision? What are your stats?</p>

<p>My son also applied to Cornell for ED. He had an interview - cornell alumni interviewed him.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>My son applied to Architecture program-ED. Interview is required for Architecture. The Alumni who interviewed him was very nice according to my son. They seemed to click right away - my son was prepared to answer Architecture related questions - architects that he likes/why/styles/influences etc... The interviewer even gave some tips to my son on how to submit his art portfolio, which is also required for the program. My son had taken only a few originals of his artwork and the interviewer asked my son to send him the remaining pieces of his artwork. My son mailed a CD of his artwork.</p>

<p>My son's stats are not that great though. He has a 2030. GPA 3.9. He is National Merit Scholarship commended. National Art Honor Society member. He is also involved in a few other clubs. An Eagle Scout. Has recd a couple of awards from boy scouts.</p>

<p>My son is really bent on getting into Cornell. I hope he makes it.</p>
