Hi Ariel - Thank you for your response. I had one other follow-up question for you. When does Cornell perform the background check. Is it after you have been issued an I-20 and right before school starts? Please advise.

Visited Johnson this week. My observations:
Pros
- Got on very well with student hosts.
- Liked the feel of the small class size -- everyone knows everyone.
- Really good class visits. Saar has a dry quirky sense of humor that I like. Bailey is a fellow Canadian, so automatically funny and cool.
- Marcie, from the admissions office, was very helpful and really down-to-earth.
- Like the feel of Ithaca (based on a very short observation period).
Cons
- Wish at least 1 of the people giving the info session was a 2nd year (it was two 1st years).
- Was rather disappointed not to have the opportunity to speak with anyone from the admissions committee. (Every other school I've visited at least has a Q&A with an adcom member.) Especially given how far one has to travel to visit the Cornell campus.
- Didn't like the hilliness (is that a word?) of the campus, but that's really my issue since I have a broken leg and am getting around on crutches.
- Had a very undergrad feel, even in Sage Hall, the Johnson building. Would be nice if they kept the kiddies out of the atrium. (I'm old though, this may not be an issue for anyone under, say, 26.)
Overall, good impression. The school stayed in the same place on my ranking.

@Brainhurt, thanks for the debrief! I'm contemplating on visiting as well.
Does anyone know when interviews for R3 applicants go out?
