Re: Cornell Applicants Class of 2021 (2017-2018)
Hmm... I wonder if that whole increase in apps + high LSAT scorers thing is making adcoms/finaid people rethink their admissions and scholarship strategy mid-cycle!AaronCarter wrote:they were supposed to start telling people LAST week.

Re: Cornell Applicants Class of 2021 (2017-2018)
I'm not freaked out about the format, I'm just curious as to what kind of questions they ask. I've heard from friends last year about the prerecorded questions. I just want to see if the questions are the same. How to prepare for that... one of my friends told me the one she remembers that tripped her up was " What do you expect from a Cornell education"blackmamba8 wrote:One thing I did that I would highly recommend is looking at the camera instead of yourself on the screen.

There are also a few typed questions and I think the only reason people worry about those is because they have some unusual questions for an interview (like opinion based social justice type questions).LSATuration wrote:Same!

It’s really not too bad, just an awkward format. I worried a lot about it and I felt like my worrying was overblown afterwards.
She also said something about France banning Muslims religious headdresses...So if anyone has info on this plz help

If you look at last year's thread (around like page 40 I think) there's a long list of questions people have been asked. Mine were all similar to those.latinxlawschool2020 wrote:I'm not freaked out about the format, I'm just curious as to what kind of questions they ask.

Re: Cornell Applicants Class of 2021 (2017-2018)
I had similar questions to the ones you mentioned, but we are also explicitly asked at the end of the interview to refrain from sharing the questions so I won't go into the specifics. I had a few questions that asked me about current events (though I don't feel you need to actually know about current events to answer it) and a few questions that are typical of law school interviews like Why Cornell, Why Law, etc.latinxlawschool2020 wrote:

Pure speculation, but I'm really hoping all of us having the same status change means there's an admissions wave happening very soon (please before the holidays).caligari wrote:The anxiety is killing meSlawthschool wrote:Yeah same change on mine as well.

It's weird because looking through this thread I don't see anyone with interview received status updates before us, although I could've missed them.

Re: Cornell Applicants Class of 2021 (2017-2018)
Pls God no re ding wave. I just noticed this change on my app too thanks to you guys. Pure speculation on my part, but perhaps this means our interviews are in a queue to be watched by the adcoms this week, and to be doubly speculative (because why not), we'll get a wave on Friday.blackmamba8 wrote:Imagine a ding wave right before they leave for the holidays.

FWIW, my friend who was WL on the same day had only submitted his interview 2 days prior, and his status never changed. I don't think the status means much.blackmamba8 wrote:Shittttrobin acrewood wrote:My status went interview received for a few days before I was WL.blackmamba8 wrote:Imagine a ding wave right before they leave for the holidays.
