For all who are still waiting for a decision from Cornell's CS PhD program: I know someone who is currently a student there, and apparently, most acceptances are already sent. Due to the high number of deferrals, they did not have many open seats in the first place. Expect a rejection letter in March if you have not heard back from them yet. Most importantly, be safe.

To the ones still waiting to hear: I got my rejection last week. Since interviews and rejections have been sent out already, why don't you all call them and ask? It's only fair. Besides reading what the applicants from previous years who got late responses have posted, it looks like Cornell could be a bit careless with sending out responses to all applicants.

TTPB: I also heard nothing from them, But since the one person who reported an interview said it would be today, I guess we can assume that they are gonna let the rest of us know after today (i.e. the first round of interviews).

Rejected via email, no interview. But hey, I understand - it was a hypercompetitive year and budgets are tight
