Not contacted about an interview

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I'm applying to the Engineering School at Cornell, and I submitted the last part of my application online on December 28. Several of my friends who have submitted their application on the deadline have already been contacted by an alumni for the informal alumni meeting and one has already met with the alumni. Is it a problem that I haven't been contacted yet? I also submitted the Common App part of my application at least 2 weeks before the Supplement.</p>

<p>I’m applying for Engineering too, and I haven’t been contacted either. Did your friends apply for Engineering?</p>

<p>D submitted last December and didn’t get an interview till late February.</p>

<p>not everyone will get an interview</p>

<p>the interviews are kinda a joke anyway, especially if you aren’t hotel or AAP</p>

5

<p>That’s so true. I got in Cornell without an interview. Admission process is not as serious as the academics after getting in the university.</p>

6

<p>I applied ED, sent in my app before almost anyone I knew, and still was one of the last people contacted among other people I knew applying to Cornell ED. It’s just one of those things, you’ll still probably get an interview.</p>

<p>If you don’t, you won’t get penalized for it.</p>

7

<p>Nope. Over 20% of the kids in my area still haven’t been assigned yet.</p>

<p>Unless, of course, you really hit it off with the alum and you stay in touch with them and they offer you a job.</p>

<p>Many RD applicants have not yet been interviewed. I don’t believe that the assignments to conduct the meetings with applicants have even been handed out to alumni in my region as of yet.</p>

<p>“Unless, of course, you really hit it off with the alum and you stay in touch with them and they offer you a job.”</p>

<p>I agree with this. Many of you on this board will one day be alumni of Cornell. Cornell’s been good to many, and generally there’s a tendency for Cornellians to want to help out the younger generation of fellow Cornellians, which includes career and professional mentoring (which in turn can indeed result in job offers).</p>
