Interviewed today; went great! I didn't think they would make me more excited about Cornell than I was previously, but they did!

The reserve email indicated we wouldn't hear till well after deposit deadlines though, so I'm treating it as a waitlist. Same difference at this point.KanyeShrug wrote:I literally got a half chub just reading that.BronxBlu21 wrote:To be honest I would say reserved is more like you're still in the applicant pool and still being considered (reserving judgement) whereas waitlisted means they have taken you out of the applicant pool still being considered at this time and will relook at your application at a later time should they still need additional seats to be filled.

I would still assume the "reserve" list individuals would hear back before the "waitlist" individuals. Hence, if there are seats opens still, reserve individuals would get first dibs which is good right?ks2499 wrote:The reserve email indicated we wouldn't hear till well after deposit deadlines though, so I'm treating it as a waitlist.

Because, if true (that's a huge if), it means they like me more than others they kinda like.BronxBlu21 wrote:^ why? hahaKanyeShrug wrote:

Idk bro. Just keep saying the reserve list is a good thing and I'll keep liking you.BronxBlu21 wrote:

This is from the email, so yes, but it's a big group and you could still be waitlisted. I'm holding out hope, but it's been a long cycle so I don't have the energy to really differentiate at this point.Our several-hundred-person reserve group (of which you are now a part) helps us keep in line with these target levels. Later in the season after we've begun to hear back from people already accepted (usually by mid-to-late May), we decide if further offers are appropriate. If so, we review the files of all reserve applicants and make additional offers. At that point, we also create our official waiting list.

Any tips about the interview? What kind of questions did they ask? How formal was it?TripTrip wrote:Interviewed today; went great! I didn't think they would make me more excited about Cornell than I was previously, but they did!
Not formal at all, very personal. The questions where not quite what I was expecting. After reading the mass interview thread geared to Chicago and Harvard, I was expecting some typical questions from, for example, a job interview. Things like "what has been your greatest accomplishment?" or "tell me about a time where you effectively handled a personal hurdle" or something similar. There was nothing like that. The questions were direct and to the point. The interviewer picked out two questionable things in my applciation she wanted more information on, and we talked about that for a while. (The "iffy app" section of the interview.) We talked for a bit about why Cornell was a good fit for me and I asked some questions about clinics and the OCI process. (The "YP" section of the interview.)marshal26 wrote:Any tips about the interview? What kind of questions did they ask? How formal was it?TripTrip wrote:Interviewed today; went great!

Even if I don't get anything, I'd like to know and not be left hoping.
Iono but I'd love you for it anyway.talesofyore wrote:acs507 wrote:+1Crowing wrote:Blargh still nothing. Does anybody know if Cornell will send a finaid e-mail even if you're getting $0?

So is the general assumption that they'd despise anyone who calls and asks about this?
