Cornell Law School c/o 2019 Applicants (2015-2016) Forum

So what forms exactly need to be in in order to get a scholarship offer? I sent in the scholarship form today, but my tax things probably won't be ready for a week or two (and therefore my fafsa and needaccess). Should I expect an offer prior to the fafsa and needaccess being completed, or will I only get one in March when those are done?

According to the thread, people have received merit-based scholarships before sending in their tax info.

Cool, thanks.

I went back to application ready for review today after having been at interview requested (after the interview). I'm hoping for speedy news so I don't spend all day worrying!

IDK, went to "Your application is ready for review" on the 16th after a 1/27 interview and no call or change since then. Its been awful waiting

Noooooo, that is a drag!! I'm sorry you've been waiting so long. Ugh, I thought I had read ITT that it changes before you get a decision. Do you have anything under your requirements list?

My status checker also changed to "your application is ready for review" today after interviewing on the 8th. Haven't heard anything yet though and it's now after business hours..

This prolonged anxiety is what I get for trying to read the tea leaves of the status checker. I interviewed around that day as well. Hopefully we get news soon!

+1. I can't stop looking at my phone now. Shouldn't have checked!

Has anyone started an admitted students thread or a C/O 2019 thread yet? The ones last year were so useful and I could really use some guidance from potential classmates!

Someone please do this. I do not feel like doing it for the 4th year in a row.

That's too bad Lavitz, the more I read through the old threads the more I realize how much I'd like something like that right now. I don't know if anyone could beat your level of thoroughness!

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any info on how open Cornell is to scholly negotiation?

You can successfully negotiate. Not sure how to measure "how open," but it works best with other T-14 offers. Looking at your previous post, Emory and Minnesota aren't going to cut it. Mayyybe Vandy will work if the difference between the two offers is substantial enough. Might as well try.

Someone else must take the torch and move forward to a new dawn.

Maybe you should do it. You have plenty of free time, right?

Just put on reserve. Interviewed 2/21 (quick turnaround!) Not terribly surprised as GPA was ~25% and LSAT was around the median. URM. Good luck to everyone else!

I'm a URM with similar stats interviewed her 2/15th still waiting on a decision. Did they let you know through email or a call and did your status change from interview requested today

Received an email from them this morning. Didn't notice a change in the status checker yesterday but wasn't checking all that religiously. I did not, as the hip kids say, necessarily nail the interview either. It wasn't awful, but was definitely not a home-run.

Put on the reserve list today too. Interview did not go well. I had a great "Why Cornell" and I think I was just thrown off that I never got to use it. Looks like it will just have to be part of my LOCI.

FYI I was median LSAT, slightly below median GPA, and whiter than the Oscars.

Okay thank you ! Good luck on the rest of your cycle

When did you interview?

[Purplepen]

I have a date change to today "ready for review," will probably get that ding any day at this rate.

Can I ask when you interviewed?

[ProductofUnreality]

Do we really have to fax the scholarship form? I don't have a fax machine.

You can mail it

Way too impatient for that... Maybe I'll check the local library for a fax machine.

I know this has been asked before but I couldn't find a clear consensus. My status checker updated to "ready for review" today after it was on interview requested (after interview was completed) should I be expecting a ding or acceptance today? Or maybe nothing?

Unfortunately you won't know until they let you know. Some people have gotten put on reserve. Some have been accepted. None, to my knowledge, have gotten dinged after an interview request.

[hopefuljumbo23]

Just an update for those who care, I interviewed on Saturday and I'm still at interview requested (not ready for review).
