Cornell FE Cornell MFE Admission Discussion

[perspolis]

From the tracker, it seems that Cornell started to send out decisions since mid-January last year, but no one, as far as I know, has heard back for the fall 2020 term admissions yet. Does anyone know what happened? Are there too many applicants?

 

[noether-skolem]

They might have been overwhelmed by people calling to inquire about their application status, based on the "do not email us" reminder email they sent a while back. :P

 

[misalpav]

So no one has got a Skype interview right?

 

[Onegin]

Last year some were accepted without an additional interview beyond the pre-canned interview that came out right after application submission. fwiw - I think it's a fantastic program.

I suspect they would be releasing decisions between 18-22 Feb
also as per tracker data this is the first time Cornell had this much delay in atleast 3-4 years
maybe people who got admits are not updating on quantnet

Per the tracker data it seems they are still below the average wait time for Cornell? It has been 80 days since I submitted the application and it looks like it usually takes around 94. I agree that in previous years it looks like some students were admitted around the 60 day mark which does not seem to have happened this year

I don't think they have given out any admission yet, but the first wave of results should be released soon. Maybe mid or late Feb?

 

[QuantQuestion]

looks like someone got in in the tracker

 

[noether-skolem]

It seems like only @Nth Root of N has update their Cornell results on the tracker page. I wonder if we'll start seeing more admission offers over the next week.

 

[QuantQuestion]

@Nth Root of N did you receive any interview other than the pre-recorded one or any contact by email about your acceptance?

 

[Nth Root of N]

No interview other than pre-recorded. Emailed decision.

 

[noether-skolem]

No interview other than pre-recorded. Emailed decision.

Thanks for the info. If you don't mind me asking, which other programs are you also applying to?

 

[saranreddy]

I hope they email others as well the decision yes/no/whatever instead of prolonging it

 

[Nth Root of N]

Thanks for the info. If you don't mind me asking, which other programs are you also applying to?

Feel free to PM if you would like to discuss programs.

 

[Chilbal]

who all got admits?

 

[QuantQuestion]

Yes I think they accept only based on the pre-recorded interviews - there is no follow up interviews

 

[noether-skolem]

Received my admission offer just now.

 

[QuantQuestion]

Yes it looks like a few of us got in today, exciting time of the year

 

[pmlrjn]

Received my admission a couple hours ago

 

[fsez]

Just received an admit. Will be rejecting mostly.
