Can a bad interview kill applicants' chances? I was a bit nervous during interview and I haven't heard anything back for a week, so I began to worry... Anyone share the same situation?

Yeah man I understand you but don't let it bother you. I interviewed a week ago and am anxious to hear back, too. A lot of applicants haven't gotten an interview invite so look at the positive

Any thoughts?

Are the interviews a prerequisite for admission this cycle?

Hi all - I waited ~11 days between interview completion and acceptance, so come off the ledge, friends! It's a weird format, so I think we're more prone to think we messed it up. I didn't think mine was great. I'm sure the office is just very busy and also it's the holidays, so chalk it up to that, instead.

For admits, did you receive scholarship offers with your acceptance? If not, should we expect them later? I can't imagine having to pay for Cornell at sticker.

The scholarship decisions will come in late February or so.

No scholly with acceptance but received an attachment to the email that said that we have to fill out a financial aid form and will likely hear back in March/April.

Wait you got an email? I just got a phone call from the dean. Do you think I should contact them?

No lol. I didn't get a call, just an email. I got the email last Friday afternoon at like 4:15 CT so I'm assuming they were just about to head home.

Mine changed from "Interview Requested" back to "Ready for Review" about a week after my interview was submitted. I received my decision a day later.

I submitted on 11/15 and went complete 11/17

There's a spreadsheet in the OP where you can see everyone's submission and completion dates

Ah, duh. Thanks!

Date changes after you interview most likely signaling that they've received/viewed it.

I just got put on reserve, which was kinda surprising to me (75, <25 with medical addendum). Does anyone know anything about Cornell's reserve list? I dont really know how to feel right now.
