Just tried calling admissions to schedule my interview but no one's picking up. I must have tried like 10 times already! What should I do?

Just heard back, she hasn't heard back from my interviewer. Phew. Cookiesn, I think they're just really busy. I'm going to chill out now.

Mine begins with T. My acct manager apparently left the school I guess and I got to know only after calling to find out if they received my profile update e-mail.

Good luck guys, I hope you guys get the invite tomorrow! Fingers crossed! And if you do, please schedule for next week so we can meet on campus.

To those of you who recently received invites: Can you see the interview invitation in your events portal? (the one on which you book classes and info sessions).

Nothing in my portal, and my application page still says that it is under review.

My fliends, I've attached the list of Cornell interview questions I'm using to prepare. The questions are grouped roughly by topic, and I took them from the various posts from people who have completed their interviews and a few from Rhyme's list of interview questions.

Good luck!

Brainhurt- you have done a great job putting this together. Just an add-on the weakness question. I know its a given that you should know your application inside-out, but if there is a weakness in your application and if asked, be prepared very well/convincingly to address that. And how you realized that was a weakness and what steps you took to address it.

Also, be prepared sometimes it might not be one person, but two people in the room for the interview. Putting it out there. But only one person will be asking the questions.

Glad you guys found the list useful.

I finally got to the bottom of the mystery surrounding my interview invite. Turns out that they did not, in fact, send me the invitation in error. (phew!) They wanted me to interview with a person from the CMC, which makes sense since my resume reads a little strangely. They didn't hear back from the CMC person, so they decided to just book me with an admissions person rather than make me wait. My interview is on Monday.
