Cornell Visit/Interview Invite 28 Nov 2006, 07:03

Hey Everyone,

I thought I would share this - over the past few weeks I have been trading e-mails with the Director of Admissions at Cornell about my sister and I applying. I made it in for round 2 and she is going for round 3 but neither of us had visited the school.

So yesterday we went up and were blown away - Cornell was much better then I expected and I rank it near the top of my list now. I had not gotten an interview invite - but while we were there the Director did stop by to say hello and when I introduced myself he gave me a smile and said nice to put a face to the name.

Well today I came in to work and checked my e-mail - and now I have an invite to interview. I am not sure if the visit had anything to do with it, and it sucks I had to go up and not have one and now I have to go back - but at the same time I am hungry for this and I really want to get in. Personally, I think the visit helped a lot...

Since I (and a few others) are applying in R3, could you post what you found attractive about Cornell?

(Also, does anyone know if R3 is tougher than R1/R2?)

CONGRATS. I assure you the visit made a difference. All schools look favourably on campus visits, but especially schools that are inconvienently located, like Cornell. Your coming, sans interview, says a lot about your interest in the school, and is a powerful statement.

Did you notice the atrium looks like a prison?

Thanks rhyme - I am pretty excited but remaining grounded...I know it will still be a tough challenge to gain acceptance.

So if we both get in to Cornell and end up there - how about some Wii sessions? 8-)

I know GSB is your top - you hear the 19th right? Good luck, I have my fingers crossed for you.
