In today via email - LSAT between 25th and median, GPA>75th; didn't get an interview, and had several date changes but was not really keeping track

[checkin2014]

another date change... 01/06, 01/21, 01/26.

Same dates. Fingers crossed.

I have exact same dates and I am also above both 75% percentiles, so maybe we are all in the admit pile!

+1...I'll probably try and record the interview today or tomorrow! It's pretty awesome that they guarantee a decision within two weeks of the interview

No kidding. I'll probably do it very soon, too, just to get. it. done.

Are questions pretty standard? I'll be doing more research on this shortly but was wondering if anyone had any input

[wogusdh]

Yeah, got that Interview request just now as well, for better or for worse. Submitted mid-Dec, complete on 1.6 and date changes on 1.21 and 1.26. Above both 75th so a possible YP candidate? Will update after the interview.

[Wackyjack1215]

In around 5pm yesterday!

Submitted end of Nov.
Complete mid dec.
complete updates: Jan 14th, 16th.
No interview. At 75th lsat over 75th GPA.

Good luck to those still waiting!

Just had my interview on LiveLink. Took 4 1/2 minutes. Stats are:

Splitter (LSAT > 75th, GPA = 25th)
Complete 11/24.
UR3 (1/15, 1/21, 1/26)
Invited and interviewed today 1/27.

C'mon Big Red!!

Anyway someone can collect all questions that have been encountered in the robot interview and add those to the OP?

1) Why Cornell?

2) Why Law?

3) What do you expect from a Cornell Law Education?

4) What will you add to the community?

5) What draws you to Ithaca (besides the fact that Cornell is there)?

6) What advice would you give to someone who is selecting their undergraduate major and how does this apply to what you selected?

7) Why did you select your undergraduate institution?

8.) What type of personality do you work best with?

9) What are 3 adjectives your friends would use to describe you?

10) If you had one day to do anything at all, what would you do?

11) What is your ideal instructional class size and why?

12) What motivates you intrinsically?

13) Describe two things that make a great teacher.

People that have done the interview can PM me any questions they've gotten/seen that aren't on this list. Or they can PM the OP if that's okay with him. Otherwise I can just put a list together, send it to OP and he can update the 1st post.

Found this compilation of questions from pulstar on page 27 of this thread. Re-posting here.

They ask you a random sampling from this list. All four of mine were listed here.

Above both 75th percentiles and put on reserve today...

The soft ding hurts as Cornell was one of my top choices -_-

Sounds like YP. Sorry bout the soft ding, but you'll get plenty of good options!
Also maybe consider a LOCI if the reserve lasts a while?

[wogusdh]

Jesus Christ, that interview was the most awkward (and probably the worst, period) thing that I did in my life. You are literally given 40 seconds to answer each question and I don't even know what I talked about. One question that I got that I didn't see on the post above was "Do you believe you will thrive in a close-knit academic community? If so, why?" or something like that. Oh God, so now, depending on whether I get reserved or not, y'all will have a solid data point for seeing how really bad interviews work for YP candidates. I am well above both 75% percentiles.

Just got an interview request but did most people's request email ask them to call Cornell to schedule or no?

"To arrange your interview, please call my office at 607-255-5141 to set up a convenient time."

Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for. I knew I'd seen it somewhere but only looked back to page 28, and then around 10-20 so I just missed it

I completed my interview a few hours ago and all my questions came from here, too. In case it's useful to anyone still waiting on their LikeLive invites: you're not given a set 40 seconds for each and every question, but different time limits for all. I'd timed my answers to be 30-40 seconds each and panicked when given 20 for a long-ish answer. Ah well.

Do you live close to Ithica? Maybe they would rather you just come in and interview in person

[trynalaw123]

In via email Monday after interview last week! Above both 75ths, congrats to everyone else who got in as well.

Anyone know when we'll hear about scholarships?

Nope, Im in Denver. I called the number today and they want me to do a skype interview.
Has anyone else gotten a request for a skype interview and conducted one this cycle?!?

No but I wish I had at least called and tried. I got in, though my current theory is that Likelive kept me from the Charles Evans Hughes.

(edited to report the full name of the scholarship, which was found with a modicum of 'research.')

Daanng... I wish I could've skyped. Likelive was awkward and awkward and awkward...
So you didn't get the EITHER live OR likelive options in your initial interview invite e-mail??

Yeah that's weird, I think people till now got the option of in-person in Ithaca or the robot interview
