Don't jump the gun just yet. I believe most applicants who clicked yes to "Would you like to be considered for Merit Based Scholarship" on the application will receive that e-mail. Cornell has recognized their mistake for sending this e-mail out to international applicants and has since issued an apology.
Do you work for Cornell? That almost sounds like so formal!

I also know for certain that they're not "buying" GMAT scores because I have a 760 and did not receive that e-mail. I also like Cornell, so I didn't want you develope negative impressions based on incorrect information/assumption from someone else. Hopefully this should clarify some misunderstanding, and I'm sure you'll get an interview request soon.
I'd called them and they had told me it was based on GMAT score. So I can't imagine why they didn't invite you.
I like Cornell as well, I'm just dissapointed by the lack of organization and poor execution. Especially from a program that is supposed to be the shining star of the school. Somewhat disconcerting, tis all.
I hadnt seen the apology email, but maybe I just missed it or it ended up in my spam folder. In any case, yes - your right - Cornell is a great school, and who knows, maybe I'll get an interview. Maybe not, but well see.
