I think it's really a way for you to demonstrate your interest in Cornell more than anything. Cornell's waitlist isn't ranked, so they just evaluate it when they have extra spots. If this is the case, it is imperative that they know that if admitted, you will attend. My understanding is that is the most important factor in when their choosing people off the waitlist. An interview is a great way to demonstrate that. This process doesn't really happen until the summer, so they're under a deadline to fill their class by the time the semester starts, and they don't want to offer spots to people who won't end up coming.jrstephens1991 wrote:So I hear for those who are put on the waitlist get optional interviews? How does that work?
Does it actually improve your chances of getting in?

I checked mine an hour ago with 11/28 complete, and again a minute ago with 11/29 complete. Something may be brewingKanyeShrug wrote:First complete - 11/15

Could you be more specific on 'shortly' (if possible)? that day, next day, week?aiaea wrote:I think the general consensus has been that the 3rd update is the most significant. Shortly after the 3rd update people have gotten either admit or deferral emails.
I got my 2nd update on 11/26 btw, really hoping to hear something in the next week or so (though probably wishful thinking). Been refreshing my status checker obsessively since Monday morning when it changed
