Re: Cornell c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
For anyone trying to negotiate with Cornell: don't feel too bad if it doesn't work out. I tried to negotiate with an offer from a higher ranked school that was 3.5x what Cornell offered. No dice. Checked TLS that same morning and read that someone was similarly rejected trying to negotiate with a Darrow

So interesting. A bit early to negotiate, no?addie1412 wrote:For anyone trying to negotiate with Cornell: don't feel too bad if it doesn't work out.

oh wow, I hoped to negotiate but I feel lucky they gave me what they gave me, I have nothing from other T14 and Cornell also managed to offer me more than T20 schools..

Wow seems like a lot of schools taking the hard no negotiation stance this year.

It appears the in-person interviews that were going to be scheduled for CA were canceled with no intention of rescheduling them. I'm guessing this is bad news for people on reserve.

The dean mentioned this to me. They were cancelled because of low interest in attending the admitted student receptions. Not really bad news.sfn91 wrote:It appears the in-person interviews that were going to be scheduled for CA were canceled with no intention of rescheduling them.

Re: Cornell c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
Maybe it's the pessimist in me, but several people on the East Coast who were on reserve and interviewed in person were offered admission a few weeks later. With no interviews of any kind scheduled for people on reserve on the West Coast, I don't see how it's anything but a disadvantage.cantexplaingottago wrote:The dean mentioned this to me.

If you had one scheduled, try reaching out to ask for a Skype interview.sfn91 wrote:Maybe it's the pessimist in me, but several people on the East Coast who were on reserve and interviewed in person were offered admission a few weeks later.

Did anyone have a video recording interview? I heard they ask some questions about current events and political issues.
What kinds of written questions on social issues do they ask?

It's all really random, there's no way to prepare for it. Don't worry though, just answer articulately, even if you're not too familiar with the issue. I actually found the interview fun, nothing to worry about.dan9257 wrote:Did anyone have a video recording interview? I heard they ask some questions about current events and political issues.

Re: Cornell c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
I've been "ready for review" for over a month and a half so just wondered if this was the same as "in review" (yes I have read the "what to expect" post). I just want to know if I need to call admissions or if I'm being neurotic. Thanks

No need to call. 'Ready to review' is the standard status for everyone before a decision is made.futureellewoods123 wrote:I've been "ready for review" for over a month and a half so just wondered if this was the same as "in review" (yes I have read the "what to expect" post).

Any idea if Cornell will be having more reserve interviews soon? May-June seems so far away.

I emailed them asking if there was any opportunity to meet with anyone from admissions and they haven't answered me
