First off, congrats to all those who have been admitted so far.
It seems as if there's a trend at Cornell this year that a lot of the admissions interviews are by professors in the applicant's field of interest. Have any of you had an interview like this?
If so, are these interviews much more specific in nature because the professor has more industry knowledge in the area the student wants to study than the typical adcom?
Any thoughts on this are much appriciated.
Mine was with a member of AdCom, a professional reader to be exact. Then again, I'm a "non-traditional" applicant, so I guess they couldn't exactly match me with a specific professor.
Mine was with a second year student. I am coming from real estate consulting and looking to go into strategy consulting... I don't think my goals are too unusual so I am not sure they are making serious efforts to pair students with interviewers in their field of interest.
Glad we're near the end of the waiting game!
