does anyone know the acceptance rate out of the reserve pool?
varies year by year. one year they didnt accept anyone at all.
still general consensus is very low chance since its gonna be a few hundred students in reserve for only 20 spots or so

Checking in, admitted last week. I'm between Cornell and GW with close to a full tuition scholarship, but still waiting on a couple of reaches. I've been to figure out if going to Cornell and not getting a job that makes paying off the debt is something that happens to a lot of people or not....

How long did it take everyone to go complete after submitting? I submitted on 1/16 and I still haven't gone complete yet. Wondering if I should email them.

Submitted 1/16, complete 2/6.
We are delighted to inform you that your application for admission to Cornell Law School is complete and ready for review. You should receive a decision by mid-to-late April or sooner.
:shock: really hoping for the "or sooner." How long does everyone feel they are averaging between complete and decision?

It took me almost two months to get an interview, but then I got the decision the day after I interviewed. I think that's a somewhat standard experience!

So does the date change on "complete" guarantee an interview, or do some people get dinged? I asked because the what to expect when expecting thread makes reference to the phenomenon, but it never specifies it.

Does anyone know how long it generally takes for your status to change from "interview requested" back to "complete" after your interview? I had my interview yesterday (as well as a date change yesterday) but my status still says "interview requested."

Did you ever get an interview request? And if so, was it after complete 2 or 3 or 4? Just went complete 2 and already going bonkers.

Never changes back to complete - just one date change with the status saying interview requested, and then at some point the whole message at the top of the SC suddenly changes and the status changes to "Congrats! You are admitted!"

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
