<p>I did search about this topic, and no luck. If I'm wrong, my apologies.</p>
<p>But how do interviews work at Cornell? Is someone supposed to e-mail or phone you? Are you supposed to self-schedule it? Who gets one and who doesn't? Are they only for people with merit scholarships?</p>
<p>Sorry for the pile of questions.</p>
<p>they are optional except for hotel or ilr i think…</p>
<p>they are supposed to contact you</p>
<p>not everyone gets one, it depends on if there are enough alumni in the area</p>
<p>there are no merit scholarships</p>
<p>i’m a international student
if they don’t contact you, but you would like an interview, should you email them and request a interview</p>
<p>Should I be worried if I haven’t been contacted for an interview, but other people in my town have? I know I submitted my application earlier than the two people who got interviews, so that isn’t the issue.</p>
<p>Unless you are hotel, don’t be worried. I didn’t get an interview when I applied and I was accepted, so not getting an interview is not a bad sign nor is it a good sign.</p>
<p>You mean an “Information Session” like a group interview?
I got it.
I though that it was just an information session.
Was the sesseion so important?</p>
<p>Well, I went to the information session for the College of Human Ecology and it was basically a group interview session (it was a small-ish group). The person leading it went around to all the students and asked what they were planning to major in, what they wanted to do with their lives, why medicine, etc. Very interactive.</p>
<p>it’s very chill. the dude called me and we met at a pcc two weeks later. chatted for 1h 45mins… lot’s of laughs and questions from both sides.</p>
