<p>Hi there!
I'm getting a little worried because I haven't (like the thread says) gotten an interview with Cornell yet. It seems that everyone who applied at my school has gotten one - should I call admissions and ask for an interview, or is it too late (I think all write-ups for interviews are due on Feb. 15)? Thanks!</p>
<p>I'm in the same position but I'm not worrying much about it. If they have time for me then great; if not I prefer to think of it as them recognizing my awesomeness without needing an interview to prove it. ;)</p>

<p>Is an interview required?</p>
<p>Interviews are not conducted and are therefore not used in the evaluation of applicants in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. To learn more about the college we encourage you to visit campus and attend an information session. The session provides an overview of the college and allows ample time to ask any questions. Applicants might be contacted by a Cornell alum who is involved in an organization called CAAAN that meets with applicants during the admissions process. Applicants are called only if there is an active CAAAN group in their area. <strong>These meetings are not evaluative in nature, so applicants who are not contacted are not at a disadvantage in the admissions process.</strong></p>
<p>This is true for all colleges that do not "require" an interview.</p>
<p>The interview is not at all important, unlike other schools.</p>
<p>It is, officially, non-evaluative - however, the CAAAN form does get sent back to Cornell admissions, there are suggested questions, and they do write your responses. Nevertheless, the form that they are supposed to use is not very in depth and neither are the suggested questions. I think it is only used as part of admissions if your interview is spectacular - or spectacularly bad.</p>
