Somehow, my application status in applyweb is still shown as "In Progress" - which is supposed to be "Complete" I guess. Anyone encounter similar situation?

My status has always shown as "submitted"

yes, it's supposed to be "Complete". For me, there was some delay after the application deadline when Cornell hadn't received my test scores, but as soon as the scores are “received”, the status is marked as complete. Perhaps check if something is missing? And contact them if needed, they seem responsive

Is it only me or my portal just shows the recommendation letters as complete, and nothing else is shown? I don’t have to take Toefl and GRE is exempted for all.

This is the one I contacted, orie@cornell.edu. I contacted them once regarding the video interview and another time regarding TOEFL, both received replies within 2-3 business days. But I'm not sure at this stage whether they would be equally responsive. Anyways, I hope all the best with your application!

Wow this is exactly the email I have been using to attempt to contact them since last November.. not sure what's happening. But yep really thanks for the info!

A group of people got accepted to the program about a month ago, another group got accepted in the early February. However, nothing has changed on my portal. This is one of the programs that I really want to go. Do you have any ideas if they will still offer some admissions in the following weeks or I am already rejected at this point?

BTW, I had received the email that asked me to update my transcript and the other one that said "You will hear from us soon regarding our decisions" in January.

Dwight_K_Schrute said:

Hi, same here. I believe more offers will come as the program states somewhere in a doc that decisions will be sent out by the end of March, so there's still a chance. I didn't expect to receive my decision that early because my TOEFL waiver was rejected so my checklist was completed 20 days after the deadline. BTW I got the same email as well but don't think it indicates anything.
Also, out of curiosity, did u apply to the Knight Scholarship offered by Cornell Engineering? I wrote an extra essay to apply and I am suspecting that the scholarship review could delay their decisions. But I'm not sure

Thanks for your reply! I don't think I wrote the extra essay.

Hi, I did submit the Knight Scholarship essay offered by Cornell Engg. But I'm curious, did you have an interview with Cornell after submitting your application (not the 6 video essays that were part of the appln process)?

Hi, I never received another interview from Cornell. Is there supposed to be one?
