<p>In February 2003, Cornell intended to send a "welcome" e-mail to all early decision accepted students. By mistake, it was also sent to students that were either rejected or deferred in the early decision round. This e-mail was followed by apology e-mail a few hours later. Although the e-mail wasn't an acceptance letter, it was confusing to the rejected/deferred students. What a terrible blunder. <a href="http://chronicle.com/free/2003/02/2003022803n.htm%5B/url%5D">http://chronicle.com/free/2003/02/2003022803n.htm</a></p>
<p>To answer the OP's question... Cornell's individual colleges do take attendance when you attend an info session on campus and they do note interest.</p>
