Cornell interview & Scholarship negotiation
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2015 10:21 am
Hi guys!
I have two questions:
1) I got an interview request from Cornell Law, which I'll do through the online interview. (They have this weird online interview system where it seems like I'm supposed to record my answers to questions that come up on the screen.) Has anyone interviewed this way? What kind of questions did you get?
Also, I read somewhere that Cornell interviews for the YP purposes, but what does that mean? Do they interview applicants who seem to be likely to go to other schools even if they get into Cornell? I've got into Columbia, UChicago, and NYU, but I still wanna do well at this interview. Do they ask anything like to which schools I've got into? Urg that'd be so awkward..
2) As I previously mentioned, I've got into Columbia, UChicago, NYU, and I've also got a 120k scholarship offer from UCLA. Would CCN match the scholarship from UCLA? Or would they not consider UCLA a peer school and refuse to match it? I haven't yet heard from CCN about any scholarship offer, but I'm wondering if I should bring it up to them as soon as possible. (Because the deposit deadline for UCLA is the April 15th.)
Thanks in advance!
