You just got accepted? That's a change from what we've seen so far for acceptance patterns.

I initially submitted my app as ED but asked to be rolled over to RD around the 3rd week of Nov. I was worried they would ding me for that. I hope others start hearing soon!

FWIW, I also did the timed interview recording at the end of last week.

In after interviewing on LikeLive.

I messed up the interview about as badly as one can so that's why I didn't report back or give advice, I didn't want to lead you guys astray. Interview went very terribly - stumbled over my words, ran out of time on one of the questions, got "Why Ithaca" after "Why Cornell" which was awkward because I talked about Ithaca's appeal to me in the previous question.

Submitted - 10/13
Complete 1 - 10/16
Complete 2 - 11/20
Complete 3 - 12/1
Complete 4 - 12/2
Interview request - 12/10
Interview - 12/12
Interview request date change - 12/15
Decision via email (status checker also updated to "Congratulations! You are admitted!") - 12/17

The questions I had on my interview:
1. "Why Cornell law (vs. other law schools)"
2. "Why Ithaca (besides the fact it's where Cornell law is)"
3. "Three adjectives your friends would use to describe you."
4. "Why law"

I think that was it. Please PM for my LSN or if you have any more questions.

has anybody found the travel subsidy/ RSVP forms for Admitted Students Day? The website says they're available on the status checker, but I don't see them :/

They always do that (say they're on the status checker when they're not up yet).

No idea how to navigate to it from the site, but I grabbed the links from the class of 2017 thread: RSVP form ; Travel Subsidy.

Anyone else have an issue with the like live thing? My arrow keeps spinning and it just says saving: 0%. I also couldn't see myself during the interview but could during the test...

Just completed the interview - my questions (other than "Why Cornell") were super odd and random. I hope I did okay :-/

This seems like kind of a stupid question to me but figured I'd ask just to be safe.

For people who have done the video interview - you know how regular interviews always have a part at the end where the interviewee can ask the interviewer some questions? Is that incorporated into the LikeLive video interview? I realize it's sort of moot recording questions that will probably not be answered, but that's always seemed like a pretty important part of the interview to me, in terms of gauging interest in the school, etc...

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.
