nsentra & squali, how were your interviews? Did you interview with Adcom or 2nd year students?

It was decent, not my best, not my worst....Second Year student. I cannot help but think that the candidates they are serious about they interview with adcoms.

I interviewed with 2nd year. He asked me how many tennis balls would fit in a room. :rocket
I am a very inexperienced interviewee though, so I didn't do great in any of my visits. I will have to address this weakness soon.

Relax boys. Yes ... the fedex emails are real. Thats how I found out...

Just like in R1, BW started reporting fedex emails around 10am EST.

I got the fedex notification later in the day, like 2pm or 3pm EST, and as I understand it people got it even later than that.

So dont give up hope

Hopefully the fact that you received the email later in the day means that they send out more than one round of packages! If not can I purchase your admit Rhyme

Well if they interviewed you, they're pretty serious about you. The only thing I can say is that was sort of an odd question about the tennis balls.

2nd year students, I doubt have much say in who gets in.

I found out mine just on the website alone. I didn't get a notice from fedex until a couple days later!

Man, that's too bad. All that anticipation and then a thud. At least you are still in the game. Doesn't Cornell welcome more information? You should try to figure out how to help yourself.

nsentra, I'm sorry to hear about the WL buddy. A lot of people keep Cornell as back-up schools, so the door is still open on that end. Good luck!
