As you being Indian rec'd interview invite already, is it safe to assume for other Indians that it would be either a W/D ?

New on this forum. Mine also states "Submitted".

Understand from the previous discussions on this forum that it means my application is yet to be reviewed by the AC (please let me know if this is not correct)

Hoping to get an invite:)

Hey guys, My status has changed from under review to schedule interview, but I haven’t gotten a mail yet.

Does the mail come in later? Has anyone faced this issue?

Per my understanding, Cornell interviews 50% of applicants and admits 80% of interviewees and has an overall acceptance rate of about 40%.

Cornell’s admit rate from interview is closer to 55%

No where close to 80%, NYU has a 75% rate, and is among the highest, Yale around 60% is also among the highest, 80% would be a record

*NYU is the highest

what’s you source for 80%?

SebRab
Cornell Interviews about 60% as per this data?
This data would put cornells admit rate post interview at roughly 66%, nowhere close to 80%

I think we have some data that shows Cornell is in the top three in acceptance rates post-R1 interviews. I think it’s close to 70%

Also, an American friend of mine got an interview invite today

Should have prefaced this with “take this with a grain of salt”. Heard this from a friend who last year was interviewed and later denied. Needless to say, he was in the minority of interviewees

Do we still think Cornell’s overall acceptance rate is 40%?

it is usually in normal years, last year was just 30% supposedly according to P&Q

Round 3 this year could get ugly is this recession eventuates, economy is roaring and unemployment very low still as yet though

*if this recession eventuates

Round 1 and Round 2 should be higher than 30% though

That said, newly laid off techbros from Meta/Netflix/Google/Amazon will be heading for Round 2/3 apps, so it’s going to be rough for IT/Tech applicants

Cornell is in top 3, that is right, but also sebrab is right too, it’s about 2 in 3 after interview

Booth is about 50:50

Worst are Tuck and kellogg for expected reasons

Stern, UCLA, KF, Darden, goizueta all with high rates post interview
