Cornell FE Cornell M.FinEng Admission Discussion

[DeltaVega]

Hi;
I actually come from an engineering background, having graduated with a mechanical engineering degree, and working at one of the US big 3 automakers (1yr experience)

when i visit my application page it says that it is complete. My GRE scores were received, i don't know about the TOEFL since I have it waived, as I belong in this category:

studied in full-time status for at least two academic years within the last five years in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand, or with English language instruction in Canada or South Africa. You must submit a transcript that shows you have attended college in one of these approved locations.

I remember Cornell had some problems retrieving scores from ETS earlier

According to the Tracker, results are coming out of Cornell ORIE FE around mid Feb until April. And some (plenty) people got admitted without interviews.

It seems somebody got an interview call from Cornell ( saw that in the tracker ).. Are the results out ?

 

[DavidC]

i had a skype interview yesterday with cornell. no results yet though

 

[Chashu]

So how did it go? Technical or behavioral?

 

[DavidC]

sorry for the delayed response. it went pretty well. as for the style, it was a little of both. but basic technical questions about things on my transcript or resume.

Thts cool..hopefully you should get a positive response..my application is kind of stuck due to my Toefl scores..which i will be submitting later this mth. Any indication of what kind of numbers they are looking to admit for 2012 ?

Cheers

Just based on their website I think they usually admit around 50 students for the FE concentration in their engineering school

Hi, David
Did you ask the interviewer when the result will come out ? It takes so long time~

 

[Sherlock]

I think last year the first results came out around 20-25th of February so patience

Are you assuming that even if you do not recieve interview request, you still stand a chance of bein admitted?

I didn't receive interview request, and for now I would assume they think I am not good enough for interviews and, therefore, not good enough for admission.

The tracker suggests that last year the majority of admitted students where not interviewed. Only a small part were.
So I would assume that thous interviewed are applicants where they are perhaps unsure of their technical ability, English skills or just some other part of the requirements.

When it comes to Cornell, there is no reason for concern if you have not been given an interview. Plenty of students are admitted without them and whether you get an interview or not is not really indicative of the strength of your application.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Talk about timing. Congrats

I just got admitted to Cornell via email from Kathy King.

Am I right to assume that you didn't interview with them?

Can I ask if you are a Cornell undergrad?

 

[JDawg]

I just got in
I didn't interview either. I'm not a Cornell undergrad.

Congrats. Time to update your Tracker
